Hotel Pegas
Hotel Pegas, a 3-star hotel located withhin Brno's Old Town. From the train station, walk 500 metres north along Masarykova until you get to Namesti Svobody, a pedestrianised square.
Cross the square and take Ceska for a further 50 metres until you get to Jakubska, a narrow street on the right. Here you'll find Hotel Pegas. The hotel's name is not displayed at the entrance instead you will see 'Pivnice Pegas', Pegas Beerhouse. Take the lift the the first floor and the hotel.
The great assets of the hotel is that it is in a historic building, dating back to the 14th cent and the brewery in the beerhouse on the ground floor where we tasted 'Pivnice Pegas'. The brewery offers three traditional beers. Each brewed without the help of any chemical ingredients.
The hotel has 11 double rooms and three apartments, on the second and third floors. Our room and bathroom was small but perfectly adequate.
