Hotel Continental

Brno


The main drawcard here is the hotel's distinctive architecture -- from the retro-futuristic 1960s. Everything, from the logo to the lobby, has been given a playful, space-age makeover. The rooms are small, but comfortable. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the centre.
