This hostel feels like a hotel. I loved the friendly atmosphere. Everything is clean. You have a locker in your room for your personal staff. There is even a rooftop terrace and they organise some events to socialise. I’d definitively recommend.

I loved everything about this hostel! It has such a cozy and homey vibe, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring Budapest. The entire space is super clean and spacious, which adds to the comfort. But the best part for me was the cozy common area, where you can unwind and smoke comfortably with the window open. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel at home, and I’d definitely stay here again!

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.
