Hmm, this is more expensive than what we're paying right now in hotel avanti for devconf.cz - Avanti has around 100rooms, we're using at least 60 of them. All double bed  rooms. Jirka E has the latest price estimates.

I think the first option, Koleje pod Palackého vrchem, is just a round 300 CZK below the price of Avanti.

However, Avanti, it seems, can't take more than 200 people and we wanted to have everybody stay at the same place to create a more self-sustained community.

The second place, Kolej Josefa Taufera, is far cheaper (420 CZK for a single room and 620 CZK for a twin room).  I also agree with Vlaimir that it is much better located. Today, we timed the way to the venue, which was 12 minutes. Walking distance would probably be around 25 minutes.

Hi all,

+1 for Kolej Josefa Taufera,

definitely reasonable price
closer to restaurants (Selepova, Zelena Kocka, Hacienda Mexicana,
Paladeo, Na Purkynce, etc)
close to Red Hat
closer to town center

can that breakfast room be used during the day as a collaboration space?
is it covered with wifi?

The breakfast room will unfortunately be closed during the day, but there is a large lobby lots of comfy armchairs that has WiFi. I guess we could get more chairs and tables in there there to work on.

those prices in Palackeho are crazy. You can buy nice hotel for two for
1200 with breakfast here in Brno.

thanks,
Vladimir

Today, I went with Debarshi to look at the Taufer dormitories. They
are very nice and tidy. Also the prices are considerably lower than
those of other dormitories.

620 CZK per night/per room, two beds

420 CZK per night/per person, single room/twin room used by one person

Breakfast is available for:
100 CZK - large continental breakfast
70 Czk - small breakfast plate, 2 bread rolls cheese and cold cuts, a
cup of coffee or tea

Number of rooms:

single rooms: 49
twin rooms: 251
triple rooms: 86 (maybe used as twin rooms)

Attached are a few photos I took earlier this morning at Kolej Josefa
Taufera.

Please let me know your feedback before February 10.

Internet connection is free of charge. Each room has its own internet  connection, the spacious lobby has WiFi and is ideal for socializing and/hacking. there are many pubs and restaurants in the vicinity.

Thanks,
