PENSION MONO CESKY KRUMLOV CZECH REPUBLIC

SUPER HIGH VALUE FOR WELL APPOINTED ROOM

IN AN OUTSTANDING AND QUIET LOCATION

Pension Mono’s Location is three minutes’ walk from heart of the old town Cesky Krumlov.

It is just far enough away to be super quiet at night.

My mattress was super comfy and the climate controls worked well.

The value is amazing.

I was in peak June season and my room was less than 100 USD fully loaded (as in taxes, fees, cleaning, etc.)

Just about the only negative is no elevator -- so this would not work as lodging for person who uses a wheelchair or cannot do steps.

The pension does not have on site breakfast.

Staff directs you to a cute deli a few minutes away – where you get a bit of a discount.

I would highly recommend this property.

My Pension Mono room was compact, but super well put together. 

It featured a super nice bathroom with very warm water in the shower.

The staff person was there to meet me right on time and brought up extra flat sheet that I requested.

The property is super close to the smaller bus station in Cesky Krumlov – which is much closer to the old town and all the sights you want to see.

It's a five minute walk to Pension Mono from the Spicak Bus Station.

I took a direct bus from Prague and was there in less than 3 hours.

Cesky Krumlov is well worth a two-day visit.

Pension Mono is the ideal place to overnight in the Medieval city.

It all starts with an attentive staff that fields questions before booking.

I'm a communication guy.

I don't just book -- I want to know location, locals food recommendations, be placed in a quiet spot within the property, know the proximity to transit, etc.

The pension’s staff was superb at using the Booking.com messaging system to address all concerns long before I was in the Czech Republic.

From morning to late afternoon, Cesky Krumlov is still beautiful -- but it is choked with tour groups.

That’s why I highly recommend staying overnight.

It's a whole different, quaint town from about 6 p.m. to 9 a.m. the next morning.
