Brno Shared KitchenRanked guide

Best Hostels with Shared Kitchens in Brno

Brno is one of the cheapest student capitals in Europe — restaurant lunch runs 150 CZK, a beer is 40, a sit-down dinner with mains and drinks lands at 350-400. But hostel kitchens still pay off, especially for travellers staying 3+ nights or shopping at the Lidl that sits across the street from Hostel John Galt. Four of the city's hostels have working shared kitchens, ranging from John Galt's fully equipped no-frills setup with free tea and coffee, to Schrott Bed&Beer's smaller calm-side kitchen, to the larger Hostel Eleven kitchen that serves the city's largest hostel by review count, to Ruta 80's Italian-owner kitchen with full-blown cookware and a dining table.

§ 01 — Traveler's take

“The Brno kitchen-hostel calculus: pick John Galt for cheapest food (Lidl across the street + free coffee), Eleven for largest kitchen (no morning queue), Ruta 80 for most-equipped (oven, washing machine), Schrott for the calmest cook-and-go on the route from train station to centre. All four solve the dinner-budget problem in their own way.”

Tips for Choosing a Hostel with Shared Kitchen in Brno

Tip Nº 01

Lidl Brno-Novobranská is across the street from Hostel John Galt, open 7-21 daily. Their bakery has fresh bread for under 30 CZK — pair with the free hostel coffee for a 50 CZK breakfast.

Tip Nº 02

Cabbage Market (Zelný trh) is the Tuesday morning fresh-produce market — 2 min from Hostel Eleven, 6 min from John Galt. Good for fruit, vegetables, fresh herbs, cheap cheese.

Tip Nº 03

Albert supermarket on Masarykova marks down hot food after 19:00 with orange stickers — sandwiches and salads at half price. 8 min from Schrott Bed&Beer.

Tip Nº 04

Ruta 80's kitchen has a real oven, the only Brno hostel kitchen that does. Make use: bake something with a few hostel friends. Italian owner Dario can recommend the best Penzima Pribaltika pasta from Lidl.
