First Impressions
Walking up to Nova Apartments on Bratislavská street, you immediately get that “this is going to be good” feeling. The building has this sleek, modern look that somehow doesn’t feel cold or intimidating — it’s more like someone took a lot of care to make sure everything looked just right. I mean, you can tell this four-star property takes itself seriously without being stuffy about it. The entrance feels welcoming, and honestly, the whole vibe suggests you’re in for something a bit special without breaking the bank.
Location & Neighborhood
Here’s what I love about where Nova Apartments sits in Brno — you’re actually in a spot where locals live and work, not some touristy bubble. Bratislavská street puts you close enough to the city center that you can walk to the main sights, but far enough out that you get a real feel for how the city breathes. There’s a tram stop nearby (which, trust me, you’ll use), and I noticed couples seem to really gravitate toward this area. You know what’s great? You can grab groceries at the local shops, find a proper Czech pub within a few blocks, and still be at Špilberk Castle or the old town square in about fifteen minutes.
The Apartment Experience
The apartments themselves are where Nova Apartments really shines — these aren’t just hotel rooms with a kitchenette thrown in as an afterthought. Each unit feels like someone’s well-designed home that they’re letting you borrow for a while. The kitchens are actually functional (I’m talking full-size appliances, decent counter space), and the living areas have that comfortable, lived-in quality without feeling worn. The bedrooms are thoughtfully laid out, and honestly, the whole setup works perfectly if you’re planning to stay more than just a night or two.
Practical Comforts
What struck me most was how the little things were handled well — the Wi-Fi actually works throughout the apartment, the heating responds when you adjust it, and there’s proper storage space for your stuff. The bathrooms are modern without being flashy, and you get the sense that someone thought about what travelers actually need. I particularly appreciated that the windows open properly (you’d be surprised how many places get this wrong), and the soundproofing is solid enough that you’re not hearing every conversation in the hallway.
Why Guests Love It
The 8.7 rating makes complete sense once you’ve stayed here — Nova Apartments delivers on the promise of giving you a proper base in Brno without any unpleasant surprises. Couples especially seem to appreciate the space and privacy you get here, plus the fact that you can cook a meal together or just spread out after a day of exploring. It’s that sweet spot where you’re getting apartment-style comfort with hotel-level reliability, and the location means you’re living in Brno rather than just visiting it. For the price point, it’s honestly hard to find fault with what they’re offering.
Travelers should reserve a hotel in Brno at least two months ahead for major events like MotoGP or technology conferences, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near attractions.

Guest Reviews
Good
The owners were quite quick to respond when it came to issues.
What could be improved: We booked the property, got the check in information with the room number and the keys. We got there to learn that the room was double booked. Made for a super awkward conversation, but it was sorted out in the end.
The room itself is quite small and basic, which was fine as we were just using it as a stopping point on your road trip.
They ask for a 100 euro deposit for the keys. But they transferred it back in Czech Krona, which is then converted again into euro. If you are doing conversions back and forth, depending on your credit card you will lose a few euros based on your conversion fees.
Good flat
Clean, modern looking, equipment works.
What could be improved: They need an additional deposit, which they then send back a couple of days later after checkout. That feels fishy and also a little annoying, because you lose money because of the change rate (or win). Also an additional towel would be great, but maybe that's normal in Czechia. The rules they hand out feel also a little overbearing, but I guess that's based on bad experiences with customers.
Do not book this apartment unless you really have to. You deserve better.
What could be improved: Half of the photos are fake, including the main one. The apartment does not look like this. It’s empty and soulless. It’s in roma quarter. There is no wifi.
The property requires you to pay a deposit that will not be returned in full. They claim it to be a processing fee.
Wonderful
It was okay. Not bad but can be better :)
What could be improved: A little bit mess on the floor, not enough clean mugs and glasses :(
Pleasant stay
The apartment was spacious and well presented. There was a balcony looking out to the busy streets!
What could be improved: I had not noticed there was no WiFi available in the accommodation and also a missing TV: tend to think of those as a standard and didn't bother checking;)
Good
The apartment was good. Close to the city centre, the bed was comortable. Apartment was clean. Had some useful appliances.
What could be improved: 100 euros deposit for 2 simple metal keys is excessive. The money were returned after the trip, but the amount was 13 euros short (most likely due to comissions and currency conversions). I was asked to fill out an online form before paying this deposit, but the link was not provided and I had to ask for it myself.
You will not get €100 refund for minimum two weeks.
What could be improved: Check-in
Very Good
I liked the whole apartment as an arrangement and the balcony. Very nice bathroom too. The system with the keys was also convenient.
What could be improved: The only negative for me was that I stayed on the last floor and there was an open roof (glass ceiling), from where a lot of light coming. Also there was no cleaning stuff in the bathroom (e.g. chlorine)
Very Good
What could be improved: Check in process really time consuming. Booking.com reservation covers pretty much everything, that you have to fill in again on web page.
If you like to sleep late, don't get a room from the top floor (non dimmable window on the roof WILL wake you up no matter what you do)
We were able to rest in three days
large comfortable terrace, blackout curtains on the windows, proximity to a restaurant with breakfast
