Hotel Rozvoj

Bottom line: VERY, VERY inexpensive but VERY, VERY basic. It was my only real choice as I had a rental car and parking at a hotel in Klatovy is virtually non-existent. The restaurant terrace and excellent food make up for some of the “basicness” which saves the place from two stars. From the exterior it looks more like a bunker but that dissipates once inside with a very inviting view to the terrace flanked by a rathskeller pub and quite nice restaurant. If you have a car there is free parking but it can get crowded. The room is the epitome of basic, spartan, but, clean and orderly—no safe for valuables and no fridge—also beware NO AIR CONDITIONING. I was here in a shoulder season so it was just ok. Staff is friendly but attention to detail not good. I asked to not have room service but the cleaner attempted anyway—good thing I was in the room to turn them away as they were preparing g to enter—there are no “Do Not Disturb” tags. They also still use physical room keys. I do have to say the food was really good with a very nice menu with lots of variety in food and drink—somehow this aspect does not pair with the room experience. Also on the positive it is a short walk from the main square and several interesting and historical attractions which also saves you from having to pay for parking. Nevertheless, if they were to add a fridge, a safe, some hangars, and add some AC units they could have the beginnings of four stars. It seems like the owners are trying to make some improvements and focusing on dining experience is not a bad investment but this hotel really needs to bring the rooms into this century. Would I stay again? In a pinch and if it was early fall.
