Today we will have a kind of hotel Oscar. Let’s choose the best hotels in Brest in different categories. There will be cheap lounges and prestigious chain hotels; beautiful apartments and the best hostels in the city. And I’ll also tell you where to look for housing, and how to save money on it? Therefore, this article will be as useful as possible for everyone who is going to Brest. Are you ready to start? Then let’s go!
Where is it cheap to spend the night in Brest?
The world of cheap hotels in Brest is truly amazing and diverse. Therefore, 30 BYN in your pocket is not a sentence at all. For example, for 20 BYN you can rent a single room at the tourist base “Brest Regional Center for Tourism and Local History of Children and Youth“. Yes, the name is ornate, but, in fact, this is an ordinary hotel with a touch of pioneer romance.
Advantages: low price and location in the very center.
You can view all the details on the website.bresttur.by on the “” tabThe campsite“. But you can only book a room by phone. Contact numbers: +375 162 40-58-24 and (8 029) 791-21-11.
In addition to the cheapest rooms for 20 BYN per day, there are also “superior rooms” at the tourist base. You can stay there for 75 BYN.
Recreation rooms of Brest Railway station
Brest railway station also has its own rest rooms. In many cities of Belarus, this is probably the cheapest option for overnight accommodation. But Brest is an exception here. Economy double room will cost you 89 BYN. Single room – in 58 BYN. For that kind of money, you can find something more fun in other parts of the city.
You can view photos of the rooms here (on the “Recreation Rooms” tab). And you can book a seat by calling (+375 162) 26-25-00.
In my opinion, these rooms have only two important advantages: the location and the fact that almost no one knows about them (therefore, you can even book a room at the last moment). But otherwise, the option is quite controversial. These break rooms are like the Rollton on the far shelf. It will do as a last resort, but the rest of the time it’s better to choose something else.
Three more budget hotels in Brest
There will be hotels in this category with room rates in the region of 100 BYN per day. To be honest, they are all very simple, but quite decent. For example…
Beltamozhservice Hotel. It’s not fancy, but the rooms here are clean and tidy. The main disadvantage lies in the fact that it is located outside the city (9 km from the center). Therefore, it should be recommended only to those who travel by car.
The Molodezhnaya Hotel. One of the most budget-friendly options in the city center. Room rates range from 100 BYN. But they look pretty simple.
Mini-hotel “Gogol”. The best option of the three (therefore, in high season it is oftenfully booked). But what if you get lucky? In general, the hotel is not bad, and it is located in the very center.
Apartments in the same price range
As an alternative, I will also show you several apartments that can be rented for comparable money. Spoiler alert: they look much more spectacular than hotels.
- Option #1. “The house with the green door”.
- Option number 2. Duplex studio in the historical center.
- Option number 3. Apartment on Kosmonavtov Boulevard.
As a bonus, I’ll show you another option. This apartment is quite simple (and is located in an old house). But right from the windows there is a view of the fortifications of the Brest fortress. Very few people can boast of this.
Where else to look for apartments in Brest?
My answer is: on popular local sites. There are three of them at once. These are:
- kufar.by
- realt.by
- and online.real estate.
Apartments are a bit cheaper here. But it is often necessary to negotiate directly with the owners. (And it’s not a bad idea to have a Belarusian phone number for this).
Where would I stay? The best hotels in Brest
I really like boutique hotel “Status”. This is an excellent European-class hotel with breakfast included, designer rooms and a pleasant gastrobar on the ground floor.
The main disadvantage is the distance from the city center (it is several kilometers away from here).
The room rates can be viewed here.
Another great option that I really like is the Brest Hampton by Hilton hotel.
It’s a great option for a romantic weekend. A double room with breakfast here costs 220 BYN. It doesn’t seem to be cheap, but in other countries of the world, Hilton hotels aren’t particularly budget-friendly either.
Two hotels in nature
Near Brest there is one of the best country complexes in Belarus – Greenwood Chalet. There is a closed beach by the lake, beautiful rooms and many interesting events (from gastronomic workshops to “beach” concerts).

If you like outdoor recreation, this is a great option. Room rates start from 180 BYN per day, but in summer they fly into space.
Details can be found here.
A more budget–friendly, but also good option is Rynkovka manor.
It has a beach, its own restaurant, a picnic area and cozy rooms with the smell of natural wood. The city is a 15–minute drive away. In summer, the cost of rooms fluctuates around 150 BYN (and falls even lower in autumn and spring). The exact figures can be viewed here.
