City Hostel
104 reviews
September 4
Pros: convenient location (five minutes walk from the railway station, within walking distance of the Brest DEPOT canteen with the opportunity to fully eat for 10-15 rubles and take with you, near the recreation park, Sovetskaya and Gogol streets with famous lanterns and even the Brest fortress). The hostel is comfortable, well renovated, you can take a shower at any time, cook (there is a kitchen with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishes and an elementary set of products. One of the disadvantages is poor-quality cleaning, although the shower and toilets are clean, with toilet paper, paper towels, soap, shampoo. The staff is attentive. You can book in advance.

For those who are basically used to hostels, the place is good. The proximity of both stations is a big plus. The service is pleasant, polite and courteous staff, very clean. As far as I got the impression, the hostel is always full, you need to book in advance. The prices are very low, you can save a lot. I have nothing to compare it with, this is my first and last experience with hostels, but in my opinion, the place is quite acceptable for an overnight stay, I recommend it.

advantages: the price. location: right at the train station, near the city center. nice room (though not big). nice staff. availability of a kitchen for cooking
cons: the bed linen does not seem to be fresh (by smell). shared showers are generally a passion (fortunately it was only night).
if money is really bad, you can stop. Otherwise, I wouldn't

In principle, a very good hostel. The bed linen can be seen that it was washed and ironed, it smelled fresh, very nice girls at the reception, friendly, explained and prompted everything, allowed things to be left and picked up the next day before the train.the fact that there are showers is not very important, I think it is not critical, the toilets have always been clean, the cleaner is well done, thank her for her work.it was noisy when the trains were traveling, but when you took a cheap hostel on the forecourt, you understood that it was located between the perons and you would hear if you were a light sleeper, this hostel would not suit you, people were talking, because going to bed at different times, no one would adjust to you.I look at a lot of negative reviews here, you just need to look at the map, study what's around and how, and take more expensive and not at the train station. It's a great option for a couple of nights. Prosperity to you.

It turned out to be a very emotional place. Thank you to the girls at the reception for their sincerity. Still, they would have changed the routers to normal ones, it would have been great at all. The water is hot, there are dishes, the rooms are clean, what else do you need to spend the night. But the administrators here are just sweethearts.

Wonderful, friendly staff! They were allowed to leave things long before check-in and after vacating the room. Very convenient location. We took a 6-seater for a family, clean, cozy. It's a little cramped, but no offense :) . The goal was to spend the night, we walked around the city from morning to evening. It may seem to someone an unsatisfactory shower room, but the price-quality corresponds to the level.

The Most Honest Review.
Nightmare. This is if in one word.
Think about it a thousand times before settling here and giving money a few nights in advance.
Of the advantages, only the polite girls at the "reception" and the really low cost per night, BUT it's not for nothing. The owner decided to save money on EVERYTHING.
Firstly, in a SIX-BED room, literally about 3x3 meters, from the "cooling", in the heat of +31 °, there is only a noisy, broken fan that does not stand normally and a barely opening door to the outside, have you already imagined the feeling inside? And I didn't even have to imagine))) On the first night, someone else from the guests hung their washed clothes in the room, the stuffiness with humidity was unreal, so also a drunk man snored all night, I literally survived the first night, waking up every 10 minutes.
Secondly, the shower room is literally a purgatory of hell. A dark and always wet place where you stand on a rug that literally digs into your feet, because the hostel, corny, did not buy several pairs of 1BYN rubber slippers that are sold at the local bazaar, oh yes, you will walk everywhere in your sweaty shoes, like other guests. So, about the shower room, in addition to all of the above, every 7 seconds there will be a "scary" sound of a water pump? When you use it. And they share 2 showers - transparent glass blocks, in the first case and 2 built-in shower cabins opposite each other, in the second case, but you won't peek?)
Thirdly, in both toilets there are unrealistically small sinks, so much so that it is banal to brush your teeth or wash your face - it is impossible without wetting everything around, and in one toilet there is a dirty, noisy fan, then cleaning of which has literally never been carried out since the day it was installed.
There is nothing special about the kitchen, I hardly used it, the refrigerator only barely cools.
Therefore, think TWICE about whether you need to settle in this branch of hell.

Advantages are location. Directly on the territory of the railway station. Of the disadvantages. There is no declared Wi-Fi in the rooms far from the reception. The doors to the rooms with a glass insert are a controversial decision, there is always unwanted lighting at night. The general impression is that repairs are needed, plumbing, painting and the common area need to be refreshed. The cost is moderate, it's a plus.

A very soulful place! Cleanly, and most importantly, they are very very sincere administrators...... ........ there is hot water, there is a kitchen, even if it is a walk-through. Yes, everything is normal there. What they write here .....yes, it's just bad luck with the neighbors ;))))

The hostel is located next to the train station. We booked a room for 4 with a shower. The room is small and it would not hurt to do a general cleaning there. There's hair all around, cobwebs on the chairs, and the fan is so full of dust.
There are also questions with hot water (apparently, it does not have time to heat up when there is a large flow rate).
The shower drain is also clogged with hair, the shower is flowing ((((
The staff is polite and friendly)))

It's hot in summer, there's no air conditioning. There is a fan. If you open the windows, you can hear trains passing by. Right under the window, wait for the way. The location is convenient. 200 meters from the railway station. The rooms are clean, the linen is fresh. The shower, kitchen, and toilet are clean. If the noise does not interfere, then it is very good. The price is low.

There is a clean room, a shower and a kitchen. When paying for a place, they cheated on a couple of Belarusian rubles, 2 families of comrades from Central Asia with children live in the hostel, there is no rest from them. You can spend the night, but for a long time it's better to find a decent place

The rooms are great, small, but cozy. Only cleanliness is lame. I am allergic to dust and during the night my nose stopped breathing (it was stuffy), my eyes swelled up. The location is convenient, right near the train station. The staff is super, all polite and adequate guys

I arrived in the morning on a rainy and cold day, I came straight to the hostel, fortunately there are literally two steps from the train station. We were allowed to stay inside, on the guest couch until check-in. We were ready to move in right away, but there was a small problem with the room, which was later promptly resolved with the owner of the hostel - a single room was available for my dates and I took it instead of a bed in a shared four-bed room with an additional fee. The owner of the hostel is responsive and sociable. She suggested where you can go for a walk and just pleasantly kept up the conversation on a dull rainy day.
Of course, as previously written, there are questions about the condition of the showers, but this is not critical. Especially since they are clean. I definitely recommend it.

In the heart of the city near the train station, there is everything - a stove, a kettle, a shower, a washing machine, three two-storey beds in the room, the cheapest way to spend the night.

Staying for a couple of nights is the best thing. Among the disadvantages - there are no closets in which you can leave valuables, showers leave much to be desired.
In general, as a place to spend the night a couple of times and move on is the best thing.

If you use it as a transshipment point or you have a night departure somewhere further away, then that's what you need. It is located near the railway station (you can say at the station). But if you plan to stay in the city and walk, you will hesitate to walk across the bridge and wait for the way. The kitchen and communications are old (I didn't dare go to the shower, I was without rubber slippers). It's not even so much old as it was made from what was there. The pots and pans are old, there is simply no skimmer. One knife, and there are people there, and oriental comrades, often cook in the kitchen. We'll have to talk. But in general, as clean as possible in these conditions, respect for the cleaner!

A good hostel, everything is within walking distance, minus one star for the stuffiness in the room, to be honest, even the window cannot be opened because there are no grids, this is perhaps the only minus. And in general, it is excellent, the price and quality correspond.

If you just need to spend the night, then the hostel is suitable , minimalism , one minus is for the showers , they are there , but they seem to be from the hostel and do not even close, you need a person with you so that extra guests do not get carried away.

Horror. This is my first experience of living in a hostel and probably the last one 🤭
1. The walls are made of a strange material with deep cracks starting from the ceiling
2. Micro windows under the ceiling and walls around windows with black mold
3. On the first night, no one cleaned the toilet and there was, sorry, shit and puddles on the floor.
4. They talk endlessly loudly in the corridor at night and early in the morning, it is impossible to sleep. It was like this for 2 nights, different people were talking.
5. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING! Beds! They are children's. My height is 171 and I was lying close, as if in a coffin, my husband was just suffering with his 191 cm. This is the second reason for lack of sleep. It was not possible to stretch your legs to the side, because from the beginning to the end of the bed there are walls (the bed is exactly the length of the wall).
6. There are trains nearby and they are audible and right near the entrance of the slots and we heard 2 times loud swearing with mats.
7. The pillows are not comfortable, the mattress is too, the blanket is very thin - it was cold at night. After 2 days, the whole face fell out, although this does not happen to me. I reassure myself that it's not because of the pillow, otherwise it's disgusting to think if they wash the pillowcase at all.
8. The only good thing is the aunt at the reception. Sweet and smiling. Because of her, I put 2 stars, not 1.
P.S. there is a lure for youngsters on the table. Coffee is given for 5 stars in reviews. Therefore, good reviews are possible here for the sake of coffee. I don't know why I didn't take a photo. I'm sorry.

I did not expect a very inexpensive hostel in such a central place as the forecourt. They were politely greeted, showed everything, told everything and did not impose themselves anymore, although the attendant is always on site, ready to answer any question. Of course, the rooms are budget, and I myself wanted stars from the sky, but it is clean, cozy, and has everything you need. There is a budget canteen for railway workers nearby, the food is delicious and not expensive, the staff is polite and patient. There are shops within walking distance. But during the season, you need to book seats in advance. In general, I highly recommend it for non-trivial and thrifty people.

The hostel is excellent in terms of price/quality ratio. He lived in different places: decent hotels with luxury rooms, one-bedroom apartments of the "grandmother's" version and renovated. Also in hostels of varying degrees of lousy. And I'm giving these guys 5, because they're doing very well for that kind of money. Special thanks to the administrator Marina!) Friendly and helpful, always helped in any way she could and couldn't))) Thanks to the other maintenance staff. If you stop, then here

I stayed for two days, I was very satisfied. Convenient location, 24-hour check-in, the hostel itself is small, but cozy and clean. Of the minuses, I can only notice the obvious (and then it's more a nuance that should be understood when I'm going to live on the territory of the station) - the railway tracks are almost under the windows, this should be taken into account by people with a light sleep. There are no passenger trains there, but a freight train will pass a couple of times a night

We traveled as a family by car. This hostel was chosen because of its convenient location, near the train station, a little way will be the Winter Garden and the main pedestrian street. We had a room with a shower. The toilet and kitchen are shared. Everything was compact and clean.
Many thanks to the staff of this hostel, they helped in a difficult moment. Our car wouldn't start, they gave us a light and helped us with advice.
There is a lovely daddy in the lobby, where there are addresses of cafes with business lunches and attractions.

We arrived at the hostel on Monday. The administration was very friendly, was always ready to help, etc. The next day, the administration changed and behaved very rudely towards the residents. For every slamming of the doors, the administration threatened to evict. But not only that, she asked not only politely, but with uncensored abuse. It's completely absurd

Stay for one night, convenient., but no more. The bed is clean, we were in a room with a two-level bed. The sound insulation in the room is poor. The street and neighboring rooms can be clearly heard . The price level is consistent. If necessary , I recommend stopping near the train station and having a little rest . There is a shared use and access, kettle, dishes, stove and shower

A storm of emotions! I just remembered my youth! We stopped in Brest with my wife and son for 3 years. We were looking for housing at the last moment and found it here.
Thesis:
- we took the most budget double room with a bunk bed (except for it there was only a barrack). The room is smaller than a compartment on the train and has a chest-high window directly onto the railway platform.
- The hostel is located under the premises of a night gaming club - at night, muffled female moans, screams, but just a little bit were heard.
- Parking is very modest - for 2, maximum 3 cars.
- The rail that holds the mattress and the crossbars of the second tier of the bed was broken and hastily screwed onto 2 screws in the compartment with a terrible creak of the bed - with every toss of my wife from above, I woke up from fear that she would fall on me now.
- The doors to the rooms are slammed shut - the main thing is not to leave the keys inside. Therefore, around one o'clock in the morning, one healthy bald man in tattoos still jumped out of his room in his underpants and without keys. Why did he start to scold himself very emotionally in the hallway. Another man jumped out at the noise and began to swear even more loudly that they were making noise and interfering with sleep. After about 30 minutes, a bald man in tattoos, realizing that there was nowhere to wait for help, began to try to bend the door with a kitchen knife in the gas station. At that time, I decided to go to the toilet out of curiosity and on the way back I already helped open the door. Not by force, but with our minds, we still overcame the door with our neighbor.
- While I went to the toilet, I looked around the kitchen - it seems to be normal. My gaze clung to the dark tiled staircase - the sign "Shower" on the wall. The stairs led to the basement, there was some kind of dim light burning in the depths below - I decided for myself that I did not want to take a shower.
- Well, there were also no trains at night, but they were hanging around in front of the window.
- The room was not very clean. Although my fingers didn't seem to stick anywhere.
In general, it is a very colorful place. For an amateur. I liked it, my wife didn't, my son seemed to have fun too.

I stayed here several times in the spring.
The rating of the hostel is fake. The hostel tries to raise its rating by manipulating reviews: they offer free coffee to those guests who leave a five-star review of the hostel. However, instead of such manipulations, they should just ask the staff to be friendly and that's it - then the reviews will be high and natural.
The maid yelled at me for just going to the bathroom. When I went to the bathroom, she had a cleaning plan. I did not see any forbidding inscriptions and other signs. I didn't bother anyone, I calmly went to the toilet. And then I listened to 10 minutes of swearing.
At the same time, the same maid normally treats the smell of mold in the toilet and shower. Half of the working day, the maid sits in the hallway and discusses other guests with the administrator with unpleasant words.
After this incident, I decided to move to a normal hotel.

About the advantages:
A great location in the city center for a ridiculous 20 rubles per place for a day, 150 meters from the train station, where, by the way, there is a dining room. The staff is nice and helpful, and there are the necessary amenities for your stay.
Minuses:
The beds were too short, with a height of 185 it was not very comfortable.
As for me, this is the best option if you are traveling by train and need to spend the night somewhere, relax and tidy up.
