The best hostel ever, I loved everything! It was super comfortable, beds were really great, there was everything you could need. Staff was super friendly, I made a lot of new friends and the organized events were so cool too. I will definitely stay there again next time I visit Budapest. Location is great too. Hostel was super clean and free coffee is a nice plus. Great even for solo travellers.

The facilities are amazing! Everything is new, furnitures, beds, kitchen, bathroom, etc. It is a hostel but you still have some privacy since there are lot of individual toilets. It was really clean also. The staff is very kind, polite and friendly. Adam, in the reception was really helpful.

I am staying not at the main building but on the other building just 5 mins walk from the main building. I have huge luggage, then Lyanne the receptionist is the kindest person ever, she then moved me to the building that has elevator because of my luggages, do be mindful if you have big luggage, the main building where the reception located at do not have any elevator, i didn’t tell the hostel in advance about this but i think it‘s best to let them know because they are very helpful! Even Julien (sorry if i spell it wrong!) the owner is very kind and helpful too. I stayed here only for 2 nights and i was actually sad to leave the hostel! Very much recommended!

The apartment was very central. The host was available on whatsapp for any issues, and it was dealt with very efficiently. We were also very fortunate to have met the owner of the apartment on our last day. Would recommend them to anyone.

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.
