Yes, of course. Only some hotels accept dogs, and many allow them only up to a certain weight. A fee is then charged – usually a fixed amount per night. If you would like to travel with your dog and are unsure which hotel to choose, contact the Topkur.de spa advisers; they will gladly suggest dog-friendly hotels and tell you the exact fees at each one.
If you travel on German health insurance, most insurers require two invoices: one for hotel accommodation and one for spa treatments. Because your package fixes only the number of treatments and the doctor decides which treatments you need after your initial consultation, those invoices can be issued only after the prescriptions have been written. All spa hotels will happily prepare the two separate invoices once the treatments are itemised—just request them during your first doctor's visit. Submit the invoices to your insurer and, according to your policy, you will be reimbursed.
Remember that every insurer sets its own conditions: some insist on a minimum number of nights or treatments. Check those requirements in advance. If you need help choosing the right stay, the advisory team at Topkur.de will guide you.

It depends on your goal. If you have no serious health issues and mainly want to relax and recharge, 1–2 treatments a day—a Light Cure or Kururlaub—are enough. You will still have plenty of time for walks, cafés and shopping. If you need intensive therapy, choose a comprehensive cure with 3–4 treatments daily so the doctor can focus on targeted treatment.
Selecting a stay for an 85-year-old grandmother? A lighter programme may be wiser, as three or four daily treatments can be tiring for older guests. If you are unsure, contact the Topkur.de advisory team.

Spring and autumn—April, May, September and October—offer mild weather, blossom or colourful foliage, and no oppressive heat, but they are the most expensive months.
In summer, hotels in Františkovy Lázně are ideal: many have outdoor pools and prices are often lower. The cheapest season is usually winter, December and January (excluding Christmas and New Year). Early December and late January are perfect if you want a budget stay and to warm up in hotel saunas.

In most hotels in Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně and Františkovy Lázně no deposit is required; you pay the full amount on site. Cards and cash are accepted, though there are exceptions (e.g. Spa Sanatorium Dr. Peták accepts cash only). Stays in Jáchymov always require a 20 % bank-transfer deposit. Check the cancellation policy—fees may apply for late cancellations. Ask Topkur if you are unsure about your hotel's terms.
It depends on your preferences, the hotel's location and your treatment load. On a Kururlaub with 1–2 treatments in a centrally located hotel, half board is fine if you'd like to explore restaurants for lunch. With 3–4 treatments a day, or if the hotel is farther from town (e.g. Chateau Monty, Sanssouci, Imperial), full board saves you from searching for food between sessions.
For a Gewichtsreduktion (weight-reduction) cure, full board is usually required or strongly recommended: small, regular meals throughout the day support weight loss. Full board prevents skipping lunch and overeating at night. Choose dishes wisely—your hotel doctor will advise you. The Topkur team can compare prices and options for you.
Many, though not all, spa hotels are rollator-friendly, with lifts, ramps, and spacious rooms and showers. If you need such access, choose a suitably equipped hotel. Topkur will gladly help you find one.
Your medical indications
Each spa town specialises in different indications, so it is important to choose not only the hotel but also the location of your stay according to your health needs. Within a town the treated indications are usually similar among hotels, but the therapeutic focus still varies from hotel to hotel; we therefore recommend consulting your treatment expectations with the experts to be sure that your indications are treated in the hotel. The experts at Topkur.de will be happy to help.
Distance from the centre and location
Would you like to be in a quiet spot by the forest or right on the colonnade in the middle of the spa buzz? The location of the hotel is an important factor in your choice. Especially if one of the guests is older, it is important to ensure that mineral springs are within walking distance and that the hotel is not located on a steep hill. The experts at Topkur.de will be happy to hear your wishes and can offer you hotels that meet your requirements exactly.
Pool and sauna
Not every spa hotel has a swimming pool and sauna in the building, so pay attention to this when choosing. Some hotels do have a sauna, but admission is charged. It is therefore important to read the descriptions of the stay packages carefully to find out whether the sauna and pool are available. The experts at Topkur.de can help you with this and find hotels that meet your pool and sauna requirements.
