“sleep like a monk”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 April 2011

person found this review helpful

This pension is old monastery. It's literary behind the church on Mendlovo namesti (Mendl square). It's not visible from the main road or from a tram stop so just keep walking around right wall of the church and then you'll see it. As you walk throught the door you see one long coridor with dim lights. We were staying in no 3 room. The decor is simple, we liked their lamp shades. Room is simple and big enought with 2 single beds joined, 1 table with 2 chairs and another small like console table. Bathroom was small with quite big shower corner. Place si quiet althoug there is a restaurant ( U kralovny Elisky) right opposite the room window. We both had very good sleep here. We could have basic breakfast for about £2.50 but we didn't chose so. Instead we walked to one of the bars in the old town. Walk from the pension takes about 15 minutes. It's steady liitle steeply walk and sometimes we optioned for tram ride. no 4,5 and 6 will take you up the hill in 4 minutes in 2 stops.
The town itself is very charming and photogenic. Don't miss the visit of Spilberk castle and Kapucinsky krypt. Eat in Pivovarksa restaurant and drink Starobrno beer (on Mendl square). The restaurant has got a big terrase and right next to it si Starobrno Brewery.
Eat in restaurand U kralovny Elisky and drink moravian wine in the company of moravian music.
And if you have time on you get outside the town and visit some of the many casteles or wineries.
Note that Tugendhat Villa is closed for reconstruction at the moment wich was unfrotunate for us.

Room Tip: next door to a great restaurant and big brewery

“a timeless and cosy pension”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I went to Brno from the 4th to the 6th December 2010. Once you arrive at the airport you just need to take bus n 76 to the city center and then the tramway number 1 to get to the pension. the tram takes about 3 minutes. The pension is in a quiet area of the city and it is next to a huge cathedral. the hotel used to be a monastry and now it keeps its style.
The people at the reception are wonderful and very helpful. the following day we wanted to go toPrague and they looked on internet the bus timeable and the availability for us.They also gave us the tramway tickets to go to the city center. Moreover they recommended us a very nice restaurant "the Skanzen". This restaurant is 3 minutes from the pension and it is typical, welcoming and cheap. The pension is 5 minutes walking from the castle in a nice area. we were two girls and we felt safe.
the rooms are very clean and very hot. You can also make tea whenever you want. If you missed something, next to the reception there is a kind of cupboard where there are soaps, toothpaste, etc that you can take and pay in a little iron box for a very cheap price. I definitely recommend this tiny, lovely place. thanks

“A clean, friendly, cosy place tucked behind a church. Peaceful location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2010

This is a lovely place, with friendly staff and comfortable rooms. The breakfast made to order, served in the rooms was an especially nice touch, making you feel like royalty!

The location (on Mendlovo square, behind the church and below the castle) and the pension's linear layout was, for us anyway, the best of both worlds: it was very quiet at night and we hardly heard other guests, but just a minute walk to the tram stops, or a 15 minute walk to the castle. The showers were good with plenty of hot water. The only slight downside was some of the bathroom fittings were a little old and in need of repair.

All in all you'd be hard pushed to find a more charming pension in Brno. Highly recommened

“A Little Gem Hiding Behind a Church”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2009
1
person found this review helpful

My stay at the Pension Na Starem Brne was a quick overnighter while in town attending a friend's concert. It's a little tricky to find this pension the first time, so make sure you have printed the map on their website! I arrived from the Brno railway station by tram and it took a couple minutes to get my bearings once at the tram stop. The pension is in an historic building behind a church. The building is bigger length-wise than expected considering that they have only five rooms. My room itself was way bigger than expected, it even had a separate foyer. I stayed in room 7 which was at the far end of the building from the lobby. The one downside to this distant room was that the WiFi signal did not reach. No problem to go out and sit in the corridor with the laptop but this would have been a hassle if staying for any length of time. They cook a breakfast to order for you and deliver it to your room at a pre-appointed time. A really nice touch and a great way to end my short stay. Bottom line: I liked this pension, would like to get back to Brno in the future when I have some time to explore the town, and would certainly stay at the Pension Na Starem Brne again.
