There's no hostel
The only property Hostelworld lists for Karlovy Vary, Hotel Kavalerie, has no shared rooms — the site marks it „No Dorms Available“. Anyone after the cheapest bed in town picks a hotel with fewer stars, not a dorm.
Right on the colonnades, or a little further out
A room right on the Teplá valley means the day starts with no walk at all — get up and head straight for the Mill Colonnade. A room a little further from the centre is cheaper, and the extra walk rarely runs past fifteen minutes, since the whole town is narrow and strung out along the river.
The hotel and the tourist tax
A three-star hotel, a double room, runs €21–25 per person a night. On top of that comes a €2.05 per person/night tourist tax, at the legal maximum for spa towns.
