    Urban space in the Heart of Brno

    • Single Bed in 8-Bed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    While the larger dorm room occasionally had an unsavoury smell that came and went, the smaller dorms did not seem to share this issue. It’s a minor concern but one that would enhance the overall comfort if addressed. Unfortunately, the elevator was out of service during my stay, which meant frequent treks to the top floor. While not ideal, it was manageable and did little to dampen the experience of a city-centric stay. The price point is notably high for a hostel, which may influence budget-conscious travellers.

    Hostel John Galt enjoys an enviable location that truly can't be beaten, situated right in the pulsing heart of Brno. This prime positioning makes it an ideal base for exploring the city, with easy access to local attractions, dining, and nightlife. The hostel's design is tastefully done, blending modern aesthetics with functional spaces, particularly noticeable in the common areas where guests can cook and prepare meals. This adds a nice touch of home-away-from-home comfort which is especially appreciated by those looking to stay in and enjoy a quiet evening. The staff, mainly managed by one individual who both lives and works there, deserves a special mention. He was friendly and exceedingly helpful, providing assistance and local knowledge that greatly enriched my stay. It's clear he is deeply invested in the hostel; however, the intensity of managing such a busy establishment single-handedly sometimes showed through in moments of apparent frustration. While this was slightly off-putting at times, it didn’t significantly detract from the overall positive interaction.

    Cheap option to stay in Brno. The hostel is in the very center of the city, just a few meters away from train and bus station. It is a bit messy and not super clean. Personally, I don't mind too much but if you care about that keep it in mind.

    The elevator was broken and we had to use the stairs, the hostel is in a building with other businesses and though the stairs were clean it smelled like garbage.

    The staff was really nice and did everything to make us feel welcomed, the hostel was cozy and the location is amazing, we reached all attractions on foot and it's really close to the bus station.

    Just wanted to say that the bathroom could use a bit more love, but I could see that it was in progress so amazing ^^. Fix one of your water tabs please, it was loose. Like a lot xD.

    The location was amazing. Everything I needed was within walking distance. Everything looked great and clean. Personal was really nice. We all had a lil' lamp by our beds that was adjustable and the common room was fabulous. I felt really nice while working on my project there ^^.

    Really great value for money. Nice hostel right in the old town, near main station. They were really responsive, they arranged a late check-in for us without a problem. Felt secure. Would recommend to anyone on a budget.
