The Property — Chata Pod Věží
Chata Pod Věž í is a no-frills mountain lodge set in the quiet village of Lošov, just outside Olomouc. The lobby feels like a ski hut in summer: polished wood floors, a modest reception desk and the scent of fresh-cut grass drifting in through open windows. The USP is proximity to the Hrubý Jeseník hiking trails and the chance to trade city noise for forest stillness. Best for budget-conscious walkers or cyclists who want a clean, functional base and don't need luxury.
Chronicles of Lošov
Olomouc, 10 km north-east of the chata, was founded in the 11th century as a Moravian bishopric and became one of the most important cities in the Kingdom of Bohemia. Its architectural mix spans Gothic cathedrals, Renaissance fountains and the Baroque Holy Trinity Column, a UNESCO site. Severely damaged in the Thirty Years' War, the city was rebuilt by Jesuits in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today Olomouc is a university hub with a lively café culture and one of the largest preserved historical centres in the Czech Republic.
Best Time to Visit
Full Lošov guide →Best months
May and September – warm enough for hiking and sightseeing, but crowds are thin because the main tourist season hasn't peaked or has already tapered off.
Peak / festival surge
July – the busiest month due to European summer holidays and the Olomouc City Festival (mid-July). Hotel prices in the region rise 20-30% as domestic and Polish tourists fill rooms near the mountains.
Budget shoulder season
June and early October – June still has long daylight hours but fewer visitors; October offers cheaper rates (up to 40% less than July) and crisp autumn hiking conditions.
Weather & packing
Central Moravia gets sudden summer thunderstorms, usually late afternoon. Rule: pack a waterproof jacket and a pair of sturdy walking shoes, even if the morning is clear.
Live City Briefing — Lošov
- The tram line from Olomouc main station to the city centre is closed for track replacement until August 2026; use bus 11 or taxi instead.

- The Olomouc Cheese Festival, held annually on the second Saturday of July, will take place in the upper square on 12 July 2026 – expect extra foot traffic in the old town.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Chata Pod Věží, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a rear-facing room on the first or second floor. The back of the building overlooks the quieter residential area of Lošov, away from Na pevnůstce traffic. These floors are above ground-level noise but still within easy reach of stairs (no lift is standard for a 3-star in this region).
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing Na pevnůstce. This is a minor road but serves local access and parking, so you’ll get early-morning car doors and pedestrian chatter. Basement rooms (if available) can feel stuffy and may have poor ventilation.
Best views
Rooms at the back of the building look out onto the quiet Lošov side streets and the low hills of the Olomouc region. You won’t get grand panoramas, but you’ll see a slice of local residential Czechia rather than a semi-industrial facade.
Quietest floors
First and second floors offer the best balance of quiet and accessibility. The upper floor (second) is furthest from street and ground-floor common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Na pevnůstce is not a major road but carries local traffic during commuting hours (7-9am, 4-6pm). Lošov is a village suburb of Olomouc, so overall quiet, but the hotel’s position at house number 184/32 on a corner could mean some turning vehicles. No lift means floor-creak from guests overhead if you’re on the ground floor.
Insider tips
1. Parking is likely on the street or a small lot at the front—confirm in advance whether they have reserved spaces, as Na pevnůstce is narrow. 2. Check-in may be at a bar or reception that closes early; ask for a door code if arriving after 8pm, common for smaller Czech hotels.
- 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
