After visiting Church of the Holy Passion John the Baptist, make a plan to see the other sights and activities in Žár. Make time to visit the temples and monuments while you're in the area.
"This little spot was great.
Very centrally located with a lovely intimate experience. We highly recommend this stay.
Unfortunately it was very hot when we visited and didn’t have much airflow in our room. Everything was easy and wonderful though.
The host was extremely friendly and helped us with any need or question."
"Loved my entire stay! The staff were too notch.. the Breakfast buffet was amazing. The location right on the river.. perfect. My stay was mid week and apparently much less crowded. And it was the beginning of the Annual Cesky Krumlov Festival.. free classical music,. I see many reasons why its been named a World Heritage site"
"The staff at Hotel Ruze were more than accomodating and kind. My partner uses a wheelchair and we were assisted every step of the way. And there were a lot of steps! Things that would have been helpful to know: the spa is downstairs, two sets of stairs. It’s gorgeous. The pool, jacuzzi, and sauna. The Thai massages were excellent. But had I known that it was not accessible, we would not have booked for the spa weekend. Hotel Ruze is old and it’s beautiful. Impeccibly decorated and clean. Staff were helpful with the brunch, but things run out, so get there early! Outside of brunch, there are no meals offered, but we were accomodated for dinner by their sister hotel in the town square. There is an elevator, but it is small and could not accomodate the wheelchair. My partner was able to park outside the elevator and walk onto the elevator with a cane. Our room had a step in, small, but still an obstacle. To get to the elevator for the rooms, there was a steep/small ramp to accomodate three steps. We needed help to do this, and staff were there to assist at all times. We were also privy to another, more accessible entrance, but had to get staff to access it each time. Overall, it’s a gorgeous hotel and staff are kind and accomodating. I do not recommend it for wheelchair users though! More information needs to be posted online so the folks know the spa is downstairs, without elevator access, and the hotel elevator is small and cannot accomododate adult sized wheelchairs."
"The staff was helpful, friendly, and attentive. The hotel itself was beautiful and felt luxurious. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I wish we had been able to stay longer!"
"One of the cutest places I’ve ever stayed. The pictures don’t do it justice. The room was perfect and the staff could not have been more helpful. Even breakfast was fantastic. The weather was warm, so I requested a fan in advance, which they supplied. Only thing to keep in mind is that it’s located on a pedestrian lane, so with the windows open, you will hear passersby. No partiers, but something to consider if you’re extra sensitive. This spot earned its 10/10 for sure!"
"We arrived more than one hour before the regular check in time. The staff was very welcoming, and our room was ready for us to check in. Furthermore, a small plate of fruit beautifully presented was waiting for us. The room was tastefully decorated. The weather was near 33C, luckily our room has an air conditioner. The breakfast was good. The only minus of our stay maybe the noise of the air conditioner. But it didn't affect my sleep, and our stay here is among the most satisfying in our 30 day trip in Europe."
