La propriété — U Kameňa
U Kameňa is a straightforward three-star hotel on a quiet street a short walk from Olomouc’s main square. The lobby feels like a modest, clean welcome centre — functional furniture, a small reception desk, and a polite but brisk check-in. Its USP is location and value: a solid base for exploring the historic centre without paying central prices. Best suited to budget-conscious couples or solo travellers who prioritise sightseeing over hotel amenities.
Chroniques de Olomouc
Olomouc began as a Roman fort in the 1st century, grew into a medieval royal city and became the capital of Moravia before losing that status to Brno in 1641. Its architectural richness comes from the 18th century, when it was rebuilt in Baroque style after the Thirty Years’ War. The Holy Trinity Column, a UNESCO World Heritage site, dominates the main square. Today the city thrives as a relaxed university town, known for its six preserved Baroque fountains and a lively café culture that blends history with student energy.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Olomouc →Meilleurs mois
May to September: warm weather (20-26°C), long daylight hours, and most attractions open. June and September offer fewer crowds than July-August but still good conditions for walking tours.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August are peak, driven by student holidays and the Olomouc Summer Festival (late June to September). Hotel prices rise 20-30% above shoulder rates. Book well in advance.
La saison des épaules
May and September: cheaper rooms, still mild weather (15-22°C), and light crowds. April and October are cooler (10-15°C) but offer the best discounts and fewer tourists.
Météo & Emballage
Olomouc has a continental climate with warm days but cool evenings even in summer. Pack layers: a light jacket or sweater for evenings, plus comfortable walking shoes for the cobblestone streets.
Briefing de la ville — Olomouc
- The main tram line through the centre is undergoing track repairs in summer 2026, expect diversions near the main station.
- A new craft-beer bar, Pivovar Olomoucký, opened last month on Denisova street, offering local brews and a small food menu.
- The city’s flower parades and concerts for the annual Olomouc Summer Festival run through the last week of June, so expect more foot traffic in the square.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to U Kameňa, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the courtyard (rear of the building) — these are farthest from street noise and the lift, and get the most natural light above the roof line of adjacent buildings. Rooms ending in odd numbers (if numbered) typically face the courtyard here.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor and any room directly above or adjacent to the main entrance on 8. května street — this is a busy through road with trams, so ground-floor front rooms get both street rumble and foot traffic from the side alley entrance. Also avoid rooms next to the lift shaft on any floor (likely a thin partition wall).
Best views
The best view is from a rear courtyard-facing room on floor 3 or 4 — you overlook the inner-block gardens and rooftops, not the street. Corner rooms on the front (street) side might catch a glimpse of the cathedral spire, but the trade-off is constant traffic noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest — no street-level noise, minimal lift use, and less chance of hearing the bar or reception below.
🔊 Noise notes
8. května is a main artery in central Olomouc with trams running regularly from early morning until late evening. The side entrance (ramped) has a metal door that bangs if left to close. The lift is an older model with an audible clunk when stopping. Breakfast is served on the ground floor from 7:00–10:00, and you can hear clattering from rooms directly above the breakfast room.
Insider tips
1. For parking, use 'Parking U Dómu' (150 m away) — book online in advance in summer, as it fills with tourists for the cathedral. 2. The ramped side entrance is the step-free route; use it if you have luggage or a pushchair. 3. The free Wi-Fi captive portal can be finicky on iOS; accept the terms by tapping 'Continue' even if the page looks broken — it works.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principales attractions à Olomouc
💡 Enter from the cathedral side via the archway – there’s a small gate that leads to a hidden courtyard with original 12th-century stonework and a view over the city rooftops.
💡 Bring bread for the ducks and watch for the ring-necked parakeets that roost in the big plane trees near the lake – they’re loud but fun.
💡 Go at sunset when the stone catches warm light and the square is quieter. The astronomical clock nearby does a mini show on the hour.
💡 Stand right in front at 12 noon for the full chiming display. The mosaic tiles depict famous Czechs, so look out for the Jára Cimrman panel – he’s fictional but treated as local hero.
💡 Check the church noticeboard for occasional free choir concerts. The crypt smells of old stone and wax – bring a jumper as it’s cool even in summer.
