very quiet and well located. looks like more a three star hotel.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel between Christmas and New Year. This was not our choice but the hotel we had wanted to go to was overbooked and we were re directed to here. The hotel is in an excellent location, but that is about the only compliment that I can give it. Now, we had booked and paid for a double room, but what we got was a small single room with 2 single beds crammed in to it. The floor was wooden and the walls bare, not the ideal cosy retreat from the cold weather. We looked for a safety deposit box in the room only not to find one. We called at reception and was told it was in the wardrobe. Thinking I was going mad I looked again but there was not one there. We rang reception and informed them, 2 minutes later there was a knock at the door and the man that is supposed to open the door for you downstairs came in and checked the wardrobe for the safe. Was I lying?? He said "Uno Momento" and disappeared, he never returned. This is just one problem with this hotel. The pillows are terrible, there is a constant knocking of pipes in the walls and the beds are uncomfortable. All in all, this hotel is not the standard you would expect from a 4*. The pictures of the room that you see when you click on the link from this website are not an accurate reflection of the quality of the rooms you actually stay in unless you book the one apartment available. For a true picture please see my pictures that I have uploaded.

I have just returned from a stay at this hotel and it really is a hidden gem. I actually didn't want to write this review as it would make this hotel too popular but it really deserves all the credit it gets. I stayed here with my family and all of us thought that the location was excellent (only a two minute walk to Wencelas Square). The hotel staff are courteous, polite and helpful. The hotel rooms where we stayed (rooms 312 and 313) were in a quiet part of the hotel. The rooms were a standard double and a standard twin and were tastefully furnished and of adequate size. We booked throught www.prague.st and I would recommend that others do likewise. The breakfast consisted of a selection of juices, cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurts, bread, cheeses, cold meats, eggs and tea and coffee. I will definitely be staying here again when I visit Prague.

Just returned from a weeks stay at the Modra Ruze. Here I will list the good and the bad points of this hotel: The good - The location was within walking distance to all major attractions, quietness of the rooms which were equiped with large mirrors, mini bar and safety deposit box, the bathrooms which included bathrobes, toiletries and towels which were changed daily. The staff were very helpful and it was nice to able to check in when we arrived early and to be shown directly to our rooms. At night the hotel doors were locked and to gain access you had to ring the bell which made you feel very secure in such a central location. The hotel also has its own ATM cash machine at the front door which is very handy. The bad - The hotel advertises a night bar and reading room with fireplace, these were never open and the latter was kept locked. The lobby bar was open until 10pm and then closed promtly so after a night at the theatre or opera it was impossible to get a drink to end the evening. The breakfast room was nice and boasted a fireplace even though the logs were all ready this fire was never lit which we would have expected for a snowy January. The breakfast was not to our taste and we only went twice, cabbage and donuts are not what we are used to for breakfast and we would have liked to have been able to have some toast. Bedrooms - The bedrooms were nice and big and we had an adjacent sitting room. Being a 7 night stay we would have expected clean sheets half way through our stay, the nearest we came was having clean pillow cases on our last day. Bathroom - This was a nice size but was let down by having no stand up shower and there were no plugs provided for the sink. The lighting in the bathroom wasnt suitable for ladies to do their make-up and we would have expected a 4 star hotel to have a shaving/make-up mirror. Our bedroom no 308 was extremley hot even without the heating on and we were not expecting to have to put the air conditioning on in Janaury. Even with all the minor faults of this hotel it would not put us off staying there again which we hope to do in the very near future.

Lets get the bad points out of the way. For a 4* hotel there wasn't any tea or coffee making facilities in the room. The room did not contain a security box. The pillows were the worst I have ever experienced in the World. The large night bar never opened Good points. Excellent location. Very friendly English speaking staff. Spotlessly clean Brilliant breakfast If I was going to Prage again would I stay at the Modre Ruze? YES
