Brix Bar & Hostel

On the positive side, the hostel was very clean throughout, and the staff at reception were friendly, helpful, and provided clear information whenever I needed assistance. The location is well-connected to the city centre getting around Prague was quick and easy. Getting to the airport via public transport was also a bit inconvenient due to the hostel’s location, though once in the city, everything else was easily accessible. I stayed at Brix Hostel recently, and while the overall setup was fine, the storage compartments under the beds were a big problem. I had the top bunk, and the storage was located under the bottom bunk, which is understandable but the drawers themselves were extremely rough and difficult to pull out. I had to use so much force that I actually strained my back trying to open them. It’s also very noisy and inconvenient, especially when others in the room are sleeping. Every time I needed something from my drawer, it made a loud scraping sound, and I felt terrible disturbing everyone. On top of that, the drawer wouldn’t even move if someone was lying on the lower bed, the weight made it impossible to open. Overall, I wasn’t happy with this experience. The hostel really needs to fix or replace the under-bed storage system. It’s uncomfortable, impractical, and not what you’d expect when paying for a hostel stay.

I really recommend this hostel, we booked a private room, they gave us the Price Room and the room was amazing, just perfect, very comfy, also there was a kitchen upstairs. I really enjoyed the location close to shops and public transport. By the way, I don’t drink alcohol, none asked me to write a comment for a beer, what I am writing is the true. Also I was super impressed about the level of culture of the place, full of books, pictures, looks like a museum. People who work at the hostel were very friendly, the relation between quality and price was great.

I would not stay here again. this hostel seems to attract really dodgy people. there was a condom in the shower stall for 4 days, and black mould in the bathroom as well. the toilet also ran out of toilet paper for a good 24 hours and was replaced with hand towel. the rooms were not cleaned properly, very very dusty and there was no air ventilation so in summer it is impossible to sleep. as well as the mattresses were flat and uncomfortable. the staff are nice-ish, the place smells very strongly of weed 24/7 inside. the area doesn’t feel safe for a female. one of the toilets has no seat. the power sockets on my bed didn’t work and would overheat my charger and was buzzing the whole time. the kitchen was okay. i mean there are worse places to stay but i didn’t feel comfortable here.

It was a terrible experience. One evening, I came back to my room and found someone else in my bed. Someone else had come and laid in my bed. Food was being cooked on the floor 24/7, and the food smelled strongly. Because we didn't have a window looking out, the cooking smell lingered. I don't think I'll stay here again.

Amazing hostel. Staff and the owner were extremely friendly. Rooms and bathrooms were well kept. Amazing location, short walk from many good food spots and bus stations. Was not offered any free beer to make the review as I didn’t even visit the bar🤣.

5/5 Stars - A Hidden Gem! 🌟 I'm still grinning from ear to ear thinking about my little long stay at Brix Hostel 🤩 The moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The staff were warm and welcoming, the rooms were spotless, and the vibes were chill. The dorms were cozy and comfortable. I loved the social area, where I met fellow travelers and made lifelong friends. Brix Hostel is perfectly located, within walking distance to the Tram/ Bus Station also supermarkets. The neighborhood was safe and lively, with plenty of restaurants/shops/cafes to explore. I'd highly recommend Brix Hostel to anyone looking for a fun, affordable, and memorable stay in.The Owner of the Hostel were superb Friendly with everyone.

We had such an incredible experience at this hostel and would absolutely recommend. Beds were super comfy, and staff was so friendly and helpful. The hostel organized many events at the bar for free drinks/trivia/kareoke and the terrace was so social and fun. The location was great and easy to transit anywhere in the city. The only recommendation we’d ask for is a lock for the womens room and hooks for towels next to the shower stalls so you don’t need to walk through the unlocked bathroom to get your towel after a shower. Brix we loved you so much and can’t wait to come back again!

We stayed at Brix hostel in June 2025. Upon arrival things looked okay. Then we were led up some stairs and to our room. The room we booked was an all female dorm which it was. However, to get to our all female room you had to enter through another room which was a mixed dorm that we feel completely defeated the purpose as the safety we were looking for dissipated as to leave the hostel, use the bathroom or shower you had to walk through this same room. Not only was it full of men. It stank of body odour and cigarettes. It was dark and it was 8 beds to what felt like a 3 by 3 meter room because of the sheer amount of people staying there. Far too many beds in one space. This wasn’t even the room we stayed in. Our room was a six bed room in half the space. It was cramped and dirty and had used glasses and bags piled on the counter of people’s things. All be it, this could be the uncleanliness of other guests, it still heavily affected our stay. The cabins that the beds were in were painted black so dust and grime was very visible. Not so much as a damp cloth had been ran over it in what looked like some time. The whole place was just tired looking. The showers were cramped and there was a lack of space to put your things as of course it felt completely unsafe to try and walk to your room without getting redressed. Not to mention there was only 2 female toilets on our floor for at least 5 rooms. The good reviews you see are probably a result of them offering free beer to anyone that left a 5 star rating. If I were you I’d skip brix hostel.

I don't even know where to begin! First of all, this hostel is outside of the city center, its about a good 20-30 minute walk (depending on your walking speed) or a 5 minute tram ride which costs 24kc (less than a $1 USD) each way. The neighborhood MAY seem a little sketchy with lots....I mean LOTS of graffitis and some dark areas during the night but we NEVER felt unsafe! The hostel is super cute! It's got multiple floors (we were on the top floor, 4th) so be ready to do some climbing if you get one of the higher floors. Check in was super easy, they provide LOTS of information, maps and brochures. The common area seems to get used a lot with its comfy sofas and a big flat screen which plays movies constantly. The BAR downstairs was our favorite! My husband and I spent MANY hours down there meeting other travelers and the extremely friendly staff here! I'll come back to the staff in a bit. The drinks here are very affordable especially if you just stick to beer! The bar area is HUGE with lots of seating so there are always people hanging out here. They also have an outdoor patio area which we only used once because it was too cold (for me). Our room was the Hemingway room which has a living room (a sofa that turns into a bed as well) and a bedroom with a double bed and private bath. Since we were on the top floor, we had amazing skylight windows! Each floor seems to have its own kitchen area, which we did on our floor but didn't use it since we ate out more. They offer simple breakfast of toast, coffee and tea for 80 kc which we never took advantage of because we prefer having protein with our meals so we would just walk to a cafe that was open (ask a staff member or Yelp it to see whats open!) Back to the staff....we met soooooo many wonderful people here, both travelers and staff, that made this trip here so much more memorable! Greg, Neil, Alexis (sp?) and so many more! I can't begin to express how WONDERFUL each one of them are! Around the time we arrived, they city had a light festival going on so Neil took us on free walking tour after we spent hours at the bar with Greg. And this was just on the first night we arrived! I would absolutely recommend this to all my other traveler friends and to anyone who wants a true social hostel in an amazing city!

Pros: -Very modern and clean. -The downstairs bar was inviting and I was glad they had an affordable breakfast in the morning and happy hour at night. -Thank god for the standing fan in our room. There's no AC but that fan was a lifesaver. Our hostel in Berlin didn't even give us a fan. -Laundry service... they do it for you and they do a good job at a fair price. -Good security -Helpful staff and fun activities Meh: -Location. 30 minutes walk to touristy areas or a five minute walk (up very steep hills) to a metro. The metro is cheap and fast. However, if you want to be in the heart of the action, stay elsewhere. Cons: -Our room, the Virginia Woolf, was near the kitchen and extremely loud at night. The walls are thin. -I didn't expect an elevator but those stairs would be tough on someone with more limited mobility. Suggestions for improvement: -The bathroom in Virginia Woolf would be so much better if you added towel hooks, a toilet paper dispenser, and a little shelf.

I found this gem through Trip Advisor and Google. I walked in and they found a place to stay right away. This place was a heaven send. They have a atmosphere of family and love. The staff are knowledgeable and care about making sure that you love Prague the way they do. This city was special to me and Brix was a major reason for my deep love for the connection. I checked in and Lex was very welcoming and accommodating. She was willing to help out with my questions getting around the city, food, and currency exchange. The living quarters were comfortable and exceptionally clean. No matter where I am in Prague, I will be back here just to hangout and spend time with the family here. I love that people always hangout at the bar and others just sit on the couch watching Netflix shows. Highly recommend. The only downside I have is that they just gave me tooooo many recommendations for places to see :) kidding. too dope of a place
