This is a really good hostel with Nice people managing. Its pretty much the perfect social experience if you are young (or young at heart) and looking to assimilate all that budapest has to offer. There are dailly activities in the afternoon and in the night, so you may experience both turistic attractions and Budapest nightlife. Rooms are also separated from social interaction places such as the bar and music stops at night inside the hostel, wich may help you sleep a little better. Its not the place if you just want to be quiet and have a good night sleep as there are no private rooms and you may be waked by your roomates. But for those of you who dont mind sharing a bathroom, a meal or the occasional noise its a really Nice place to experience Budapest. thanks to all the staff, Julian, Danica, José Angel and Karen and my most special thanks to Inês and Vinicius who made this trip Amazing. Pros: - Nice social vibe - Daily and Nightly events - Friendly Staff - Rooms separated from Social areas - Location cons: - Small bathrooms (shower areas do not leave space for dressing up and two toilets per floor is hardly enough)

Beautiful historical building. The spacious lobby includes areas for work, socializing, relaxation, and more. I stayed in the female-only section, which is completely private. The storage cabinets are spacious and come with clean curtains for privacy. Each cabinet also includes a light and a power outlet for charging your phone. I appreciated that staff do not enter the rooms, and that the housekeeper was a woman. this made the stay feel safer, more comfortable, and more private, especially as a female traveler. The staff are very friendly and available 24/7 at the reception desk. Their level of service and availability is similar to what you would expect from a hotel, which is a great bonus. ‏

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.
