This place has its pluses and minuses:
Minuses:
1 - Horrible mattress. It is very old (20-30 years?). I could feel springs pointing at my spine.There is no mattress cover. So between you and the springs there is only a thin bedsheet. 
2 - Location (Unless you came for skiing or have a car). There are not so many options to eat around. Železna Ruda town with more variety of restaurants and coffee shops is about 1 hour away by walking down the hill (and then back up). 
3 - No hairdryers in the room, but also you cannot borrow it from the reception. In all 3 star hotels I’ve been before they offer a hairdryer to borrow at reception. 
4 - In the restaurant area there is no hand sanitizer in dispenser and no soap in the toilet either. Two times I went for breakfast and wanted to use it and both times it was empty. 
5 - Old Soviet building inside with minor renovations. Feels like in an old Soviet sanatorium.
6 - Even though it says in description of the hotel that it has soundproof rooms…. How soundproof rooms can be in an old panel building? If the dog is barking next door , child crying or someone is watching a TV - you will hear it well.
7 - wifi connection is not very reliable (I was on the third floor) and kept dropping. 
Pluses:
1 - I asked for extra blankets to cover the mattress at reception and a lady provided it to me.
2 - Even though this “3 star hotel” fails to provide any hairdryers to guests, girls at reception said I could use the one and only hairdryer in the building mounted to the wall in sauna (however, as this sauna is often booked for private use, I am not sure how people who booked would react when you interrupt their privacy). 
3 - Location would be perfect when you come for skiing
4 - Rooms and bathroom were clean and tidy, when we came. There is also soap and shower gel in the rooms.
5 - Sauna in sister orea hotel horizont available to guests from orea hotel špičak in certain timeslots without additional charge
6 - Breakfast buffet is included in the price of the room

Overall, don’t expect comfort of a real three star hotel. This hotel offers just the standard basics.

Old and uncomfortable mattress

I went skiing for the weekend and I didn’t need fancy place to stay the second day, since I needed just a little bit of sleep and get to my daily life. This place suited me perfectly with comfy room and hot shower. If you just need a place to sleep over, this is it (even though option with food is available in another hotel close by).

Perfect place to sleep over, nothing else

We had simple clean room. Good bed. This hotel had a renovation, but still you can see the old comunism hotel inside. Its good for a sleep and go, thats all. Hotel doenst have a restaurant, even bar. You have to go to another place for meal/drink.

Good for sleep

I choose 3 star Orea Hotel Špičák for our stay with family in Šumava because Orea Hotels provide certain level of accomodation and services which is not bad - and it is not easy to find good and nice hotel in the mountain. The hotel is situated in Hofmanky area. It is not difficult to find it - navigation is good. The car park is just in front of the hotel. 

The receptionist was kind and helpfull - speaks czech and german only. The reception is avaliable to 10 pm - then you must use key from the hotel entrance. Our room was in the 3rd/ 4 floor - access by elevator. That's a pitty that available is only 1 key from the room.

The room is the best part of hotel - the room is partly refurbished. The room is relatively nice - with TV, double-bed, phone, shower. In the mountain it is not problem that air-con is missing - despite it is summer there was very cold in the room during the night! But the problem is that the room is missing hair-dryer as well as some socket to charge my cell-phone. Only one available socket in the room is the bathroom - socket for shavers! Wifi signal in our room was weak but I must appreciate the high-speed internet. You can use also internet and wifi in the reception area. The sleeping here could be good - but the problem is too flat pillow. I strongly recommend you take pillow with from home and then you can sleep here comfortably.

Our room was cheaper because we didn't have mountain view. I could see also room in 3rd floor with mountain view and it is really breathtaking view. The price for accomodation is nice.

I am glad that the hotel has small children corner next to restaurant - not nice and really pure. Self-service dinner for 250 CZK/person (normal price 300 CZK) is tragedy! It doesn't make sense to pay so high price for so bad dish! Nice surprise was breakfast - really not bad. What I can't understand- why the breakfast is also in the summer season available only to 10 am?? (restaurant is not provide lunch - so for hell, why it can't be breakfast to 10,30 or to 11 am?)

The hotel Orea Špičák has also its sauna. If you want to use other facilities - indoor pool and whirlpool, animation programm, á-la-carte restaurant, coffee-bar - you can use services of sister-hotel Orea Horizont which is 800 m far up-hill. The pool in Orea Horizont (free of charge for guests from Orea Špičák) is nice and children love it. Animation programm for children is weak and boring and restaurant is bad.

If you want to spend a few days in nice enviroment of Šumava - forests are full of mushrooms, blackberries and strawberries, air is clean and around Špičák hill you have many opportunities for trips and for sport - I can recommend you Orea Hotel Špičák as a nice accomodation for fair price. The only one problem is that for eating you must go somewhere out.

Nice accomodation in Šumava

Being a hotelier myself, I will try to aproch it with the sh** sándwich :), so here we go! We made the mistake of making a last minute reservation, and it was the last hotel available for the weekend. We wanted to stay at it`s sister hotel Orea Horizont (that we already knew), with no luck. The area is absolutely stunning, The views from the room that we had was beautiful, however,  when we arrived there we were shocked. We didn`t expect much, but it was worse tan we though. The rooms are not cleaned properly, there is a huge lack of housekeeping supervision there. The bed linen was dirty and ripped, the lamp shades disgusting, the bathroom not cleaned properly (WC dirty and chipped, towels ripped, old and stained...). the carpet was old and smelly (not very clever to have carpet in a ski area). 
It was funny to find a Tv program, but not TV in the room... Basic housekeeping inspection details failed. 
The balcony was spacious with beautiful views, but useless. The wooden floor was not attached properly, so it was a real safety hazard, and the table and chairs were not cleaned in years. The maintenance department propably missed that big issue. 
The worse came with food... We came for breakfast the first morning, and the food was smelling funny. We couldn`t have a bite, it was imposible to eat. For dinner, we decided not to eat there, obviously, but my small daughter was hungry, so we decide to take the buffet (the only option for dinner) for her to have a small soup before bed. We ordered a mineral wáter, and they clearly served us a bottle refilled with tap wáter. When we adressed the issue to the waiter, Mr. Kamil, was extremely rude, and did not deny serving us tap wáter. He was rude to all the clients in the dining room, and really unpleasant to us. He is the type of person that would never EVER work for any my hotels... 
On the other hand, the ladies and Young man at the reception were great, Jana, Irina and Peter, were the only good point of our stay. 
The área is worth checking out, but I would highly recommend Horizont hotel better. The rooms are cleaned, the food is good, staff member are nice and proffessional and the spa and swimming pool worth the stay.
