It's my first time staying in a hostel, but the experience has been excellent. The hostel is extremely clean, the staff is helpful. In my case it wasn’t crowded, which may have influenced my experience.

The room was great and clean, there were 5 bathrooms on our floor, so you never had to wait in line for them. We only used the kitchen once or twice but it was well equipped. The location is very good, there is a Lidl 1 minute away and the metro station is really close as well. We explored most of the Budapest on foot, so this was a great starting point. We had no trouble with checking in/out and unlocking our room, sometimes the app glitched but after trying again it opened the door fine. Overall a great accomodation for its price.

I had a great experience staying at this hostel in Portugal! The staff truly made a difference – Vini at the reception was super friendly and helpful, always ready with local tips and a smile. José from the cleaning team kept everything spotless – my room and the common areas were always super clean. One of the highlights of my stay was the room setup: I stayed in a shared room with two bunk beds (four people total), but we had our own private bathroom and a small kitchen inside the room. That was a big plus, as it gave us more privacy and comfort without needing to share with the rest of the hostel. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, cozy and well-run place with amazing staff!

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.
