“Some small problems - but good value generally”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2010

The hotel is located on the edge of the historic centre of Brno, within a short walking distance of the main sights. The building is a concrete highrise from the Soviet era but it has been nicely renovated inside. Both reception area and our room looked quite nice. Breakfast had a wide selection of the usual breakfast items. Service was generally good.

There were some small problems. Wireless internet worked fine on the first day but became very slow on the next days. The minibar was replenished only once every 2-3 days. (The prices for minibar items were, however, much cheaper than in a typical hotel minibar, with beers only slightly above 1 EUR/bottle.) Also, hotel had computers for guest use but no printer - which became a problem when we wanted to print our boarding passes for the return flight.)

Overall, we were quite happy with the hotel. Its positives (nice rooms, closeness to the city centre and the very good price) outweighted the small problems. I recommend this for people who are looking for moderately-priced hotel.

“Good deal for overnight stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2008

This hotel is one of the best in the city of Brno IF YOU COMPARE QUALITY AND PRICE. Keep in mind that this is a 3 star hotel. You will get everything what You expect from this level. My room was very clean, bathroom as well. Furnishing OK, flat screen TV, nice view on the old town. Breakfast sufficient, for a 3 stars hotel excellent. The staff at the reception could be more friendly and faster. Car parking possibility is KC 200 a day (7 EUR). Otherwise You must park on the street and this could be difficult (down town). The location is in the very centre of Brno, that is fine. I would recomment having lunch and a dinner somewhere else - you can eat cheaper and better than in this hotel. I recommend the restaurant La Bouchée on Udolni street ABSOLUTELY (5 minutes walking distance)!

“I like it here.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2008

I'm in the middle of a two week stay here on business - and I have to say I quite like the place.

My room is small - if you're used to the American chain hotels, then for small read claustrophobic - but it has clearly been recently refurbished. It has a double bed, en-suite shower room, large wardrobe and mirror, desk with internet, lamp and chair, fridge (stocked as a mini-bar), easy chair (not that easy) and a couble of bedside shelves with reading lamps over.

The lighting in the room is wall-mounted and I would say is not really sufficient for reading or working at the desk - and the desk lamp is on so short a cable you are limited as to where it can be placed.

The double bed is large and very comfortable (Not in the same league as a Marriot bed - but a lot better than average). The quilt is a strange affair. Unlike the usual configuration of a continental quilt in a 'bag' here they wrap the quilt in an a ultra large sheet, think of a a burrito and you've got the idea. But just get under it and sleep - it works fine for that purpose. You get two BIG pillows, not the glut of soft furnishings you get in other hotels these days.

The en-suite is petite. It has no bath, it's not big enough for one - but you know, I prefer the dedicated shower cubicle - you get more room and you don't have the horrid curtains sucking in against you. The water pressure was really good and the temperature stable. The towels are tired and small, if you're built for comfort, you're gonna struggle with the towels. (But a quality towel and my slippers are two luxuries I try to squeeze into my luggage whenever possible)

You do get really good wardrobe space - with proper (plastic) coat hangers - not those ones that say "Our guests are the type of people who steal coat hangers, so we're gonna design ours so that they are of no use to them". I sent washing to the laundry and when I got in that evening it was all neatly laid out on the bed for me.

In addition, my room has a balcony (Not all rooms have this). Unfortunately, I was only on the first floor - so I didn't get any great views - but I would imagine a balcony, on a higher floor could give a fantastic view over the city - it is one of the tallest buildings in the vicinity.

The FREE INTERNET, worked reliably, and over the 2 weeks I'm here will represent quite a saving.

Breakfast is the only meal I've eaten in the hotel - and it is pretty much as described in the Ian_and_Mary review. So I avoid the 'hot' option and stick to the continental - the fresh fruit salad is really good and much healthier. Remember, the hotel is so close to the town you are spoilt for choice when it comes to good restaurants in easy walking distance, so why would you want to eat in ? (And I've not been in a restaurant that did not have the menu in Czech, German and English - oh except for the Chinese, and they had pictures !) My first week here, clashed with a big trade fair - so breakfast was the scrum described by Ian_and_Mary and coffee was hard to come by (so stagger your times to miss the rush if you can) but this second week it's quiet and the service is really attentive.

I've now stayed in three different hotels in Brno. By most measures, this is not the best one - it is what it is - a basic 3-star hotel - but taking everything into consideration (especially, Bed, Location, Internet, Shower, Wardrobe) - this is now my hotel of choice in Brno. I will be staying here again.

“Service could be better”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2008

This hotel is very expensive for a Czech person, yet the services are bad. I booked a room with AC, paid extra for it and at night, the AC stopped working. I called the reception desk and the receptionist told me that no repair can be done at night. She offered to move me to another room, but the AC was not working there either. I had to open the window to be able to sleep, but the noise from the street was very bad. The hotel is NOT in a quiet neigborhood. In the morning, I was told the AC shuts down when the temperature outside is 17C! So one pays for AC and then in hot weather has to suffer at night. The receptionist at night did not know this information so the service was really not good at all. I would not stay in this hotel again.
