About us
How did an American woman and a Canadian man meet in Český Krumlov, fall in love, and build the friendly empire known as Krumlov House?
This recent New York Times article best describes how we started. Today, if you stay at our hostel, you’ll find Cal busy in his wood workshop and Carolyn editing The Literary Bohemian.
We choose our staff from guests who stay with us, and we love what they do. Come and see for yourselves!

Krumlov House awarded “Best Hostel in Czech Republic” and “Best Atmosphere”
Hostelworld customers named us the “Best Hostel in Czech Republic – 2008″ at the January 2009 HOSCARS ceremony in Dublin, Ireland. Special thanks to all the little people who made it possible!
For the second year in a row, Hostelbookers customers rated us number one for “Best Atmosphere.” Thanks, everyone!
Get festy in Cesky!
So many festivals, so little time…What’s there to get jazzed about? Jazzky Krumlov (Sept 8 – 11). Our personal favorite is The St. Wenceslas Festival (Sept. 24 – 26) – Don’t miss Burčak, the first wine of the season, the gathering of the Václavs, or the fruit dumpling eating contest!
Take the Revolving Theatre for a spin!
In the summer months, ballet, opera, and classic Shakespeare are performed under the stars with the Castle Gardens as the background. You can book tickets now, or show up last minute (space permitted) with a pillow and blanket for the cheapest seats in town. Have a look at the schedule.
