We had a wonderful stay in the city of Plzen at the Hotel Slovan (Smetanovy sady 1 - 305 28 Plzen)- built in 1890-93 (fully renovated and recently updated) - run by the charming Ivana Vlkova - set on a park in the central part of town -within walking distance of the Opera House, Central City and many sites. There is a very nice reasonably-priced restaurant within the hotel. The rooms range from simple furnishing to very modern and updated lovely rooms. A nice experience. The architecture is especially striking. Worth checking out if you are in Plzen!
