Pension Barbakán

Český Krumlov


Originally the town's gunpowder arsenal, Barbakán now creates fireworks of its own with super-comfy rooms featuring bright and cosy wooden decor, perched high above the Vltava. Sit out on the sunny hotel terrace and watch the tubing and rafting action on the river below.
