I had a good experience at the Hotel Continental. I stayed here for 4 nights to attend a conference at Masaryk University, which is really close to the hotel. The location of the hotel is ideal to visit Brno’s landmarks on foot. The hotel definitely has a sixties vibe, but the rooms are clean are renovated. I stayed on the 12th floor and enjoyed a lovely panoramic view of the city. Although the room amenities are basic, they are sufficient. I appreciated the ample wardrobe, coffee maker, kettle, and minibar in the room. The hair dryer was not working, but it was not a big deal for me. They also provided robes and slippers, which I appreciated. The staff at the front desk were always polite, helpful, and responsive and spoke English.
I appreciate the private sauna rooms, which are available at a moderate cost. I do not think this is an expensive hotel at all, so it’s great value. Is it worthy of 5 stars? Probably not, if compared to other upscale hotels like the Barcelo. However, I’d definitely recommend this hotel for solo travelers, and would probably stay here again when I’m back in Brno.
