Everything was great. Staff were friendly and always ready to help with everything. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and wasn't small at all. Breakfast was a modest but for the price, you wouldn't find a better deal elsewhere.

my favorite part is the lounge area where you can chill. they even have a huge screen where you can play movies, games on the ps5 etc with a good sound installation which is super cool. they also have a dining room + fridge etc (basically everything you’d need) the location is also good, you go outside and there lots of people sitting on terraces enjoying their evening the staff is really nice and i could tell they really do their best to make your stay as nice as possible. i’ve stayed in multiple hostels in budapest and this is by far the best one.

The location is awesome and really like the atmosphere in the hostel!!! Greenery, vintage, artistic and definitely warm and kind staffs make you feel at home. In an old building but surely clean everywhere. Provided towels and hair dryer! A little bit noisy at midnight since there are some bars but if you do not mind, I highly recommend this accommodation.

All hostels in Budapest

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.

Great location of the hostel, you can reach it by walking from the train station as well. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the air condition was decent - it was cool enough in the room but not too cold for me to get sick. I really appreaciated the sockets were located above each bed. The bathroom in the room was also really appreciated. In general, I think this is one of the best hostels I have ever visited, especially for such decent price! I would definitely love to come back one day!

We stayed here for a stag do for two nights. What a great place to stay, its very cheap! There was a bar below our rooms that stayed open till 6am with music and food. So after our night out we would come back here to finish the night. It's in a great location bang in the middle for all bars, food and drink. The rooms were fab, the showers were really good for a hostel, powerful. You get a locker in your room too so its very safe. The staff were really helpful.
