Posted on October 27, 2014 by Prague Guide

I am going to CEZ Arena to watch hockey-matches in 2015. I am looking for a hotel very close to the arena. Can you please help me?

Thanks for asking. As you might know the CEZ Arena is the fourth largest hockey venue in Czech Republic. It has a capacity for more than 10,000 spectators, and it was originally built back in 1989. It is the homeground for HC Vitkovice today.

Hotels near CEZ Arena in Ostrava

If you want to live on a hotel near CEZ Arena in Ostrava, then there are a couple of hotels that can be found in less than 1km distance from the venue. The nearest place to accomodate near the venue is Hostel River, but it is worth noticing that this is just a hotel, and the quality and comfort comes thereafter.

The second closest hotel is 600 metres away from the CEZ Arena and the name is Hotel Morrison. This is a three star hotel, for sure not among the best, but if you do not require the best, this might still be more than good enough.

Then comes two more hotels just 100-200 metres further away than Hotel Morrison. These are both better, they have better ratings and more satisfied visitors, and those are Pension Antica and Hotel Victoria.

We hope this list of four hotels and pensions have helped you. If you want to live in the hotel said to be the best and with the most happy guests in Ostrava, then you should book a room in Mercure Ostrava Center, which is a very central hotel, though a little distance from the CEZ Arena, but with a taxi that can easily be done in not so many minutes.
