Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This is my second time staying in Hostel Brikette- the first being in 2022. I truly loved the cleanliness, friendly staff and views from the beautiful room! I stayed in the female-only room which had a shower, two toilets, and two sinks connected to the room, along with gorgeous terrace views. I instantly made friends with the girls in my room!

    Amazing people, we got a plenty of tips about our stay. Greatest views ever from a hostel. Attention to details design-wise and regarding technicalities. We visited the double room with a balcony available beside the dormitory rooms and had a great hotel-like private experience with the benefits of more fun hostel vibes.

    This was an excellent stay at an extraordinary hotel. It is not cheap for obvious reasons but the whole experience was completely faultless. Budget permitting I would stay there whenever I could. It was a special occasion for my wife's birthday (which the hotel marked) so the normal accommodation budget was blown, but it was worth every penny

    Staff were very lovely and helpful, wifi was great and balcony enjoys great views. Felt very safe here and walk from town centre wasn’t bad given the whole city is bulk stairs. Very close to Franco’s bar and Le Sirenuse which made it a great location for the walk home They even provided free snacks and bottled water/beer for us!!

    Located in Positano itself, the view is breathtaking and worth all the stairs leading to the hostel. (Take the bus, don’t be a fool like I was) The hostel in itself is beautiful and the team makes you feel at home from the second you step inside. They offer affordable and yummy breakfast in the morning and drinks throughout the evening creating the perfect occasions to meet the other guests. Definitely the place to go if you travel on your own and on a budget!
