My stay at Hotel Modra Ruze was quite pleasant, thanks to the fantastic location that allowed me to explore the city easily. I loved the spacious room, though I missed having tea and coffee-making facilities. The regular replacement of towels and toiletries felt a bit excessive, as I would have preferred to use them for longer, which was a bit of a drawback.

The room was basic but spacious, featuring a modern clean bathroom. However, it did have some noise issues since I was on the 6th floor. It felt like I was in the bell tower of the old building.

My experience at Hotel Modra Ruze was quite mixed. The location is fantastic, just steps away from the main square, but the room quality and service left a lot to be desired. While I loved the authentic Czech cuisine at the restaurant, I had some significant issues with the staff and maintenance that really dampened my stay.

Rooms

I was given a very small room that felt cramped. On top of that, it lacked air conditioning, which was brutal considering the summer heat. I eventually got an air-conditioned room, but it wasn't anything special.
