Quirky accommodation in central Pest

Quirky accommodation, well equipped for a short break. Great location and amazing value for money.
Gemma, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Apartment close to centre

Nice apartment on walking distance from central station. There was no showerhead holder and the ventilation in the bathroom was completely stucked with dust so not working properly. Needs some renewing, the pictures are better then in real.
Andy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was great - clean, comfortable, eclectic, and large.
Chris, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great if you don’t mind the climb up the stairs

Although a great place, it doesn’t offer any facility to get up 3 long flight of stairs. With luggage, it was no fun. Also makes it difficult to keep going out on demand because of the climb up the stairs. But location is fantastic and staff is really good. Note that there is no staff onsite or reception at this location.
Santosh, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Based on a very unique theme. Very joyful and lively vibes. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

A four night break at an apartment here and it was an ideal location for us. A warm welcome from the team after a late flight and close to the centre of the city. Highly reccomend and we'll hopefully be back

Absolutely fantastic stay with a great and friendly staff! The location for the price can't be beaten, I would absolutely stay again for my next trip to Budapest! Such wonderful charm.

Wonderful and magical!

What a unique and magical treasure of an hostel! We were thrilled from the first moment! Even more kozy than at the photos, and also clean and good service. What an amazing place 😍 we will recommend it to everyone. Thanks Lavender 🙏

Funky decor, very clean. They have helpful staff who spoke excellent English.
Jennifer, 7-night trip

Very cute and comfy. The staff was sweet and helpful. The front entry is marked with a small sign that's easy to miss on first glance and there are lots of stairs to climb.

What a unique and magical treasure of an hostel! We were thrilled from the first moment! Even more kozy than at the photos, and also clean and good service. What an amazing place 😍 we will recommend it to everyone, would rather live here than at any luxurious hotel!Thank you Lavender 🙏

This hotel is decorated in such a fun and interesting way. The room was very comfortable and spacious. The only downside is there is no lift, and quite a lot of stairs.
Jihan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love this hostel. I ended up having the room by myself. I like the way how they designed the hostel. The receptionist that helped me check in is Anita. Very nice lady Close to everything.

Ups and downs

Location is great. Personnel are all very friendly. Yet cleanliness of the rooms were a bit underwhelming and we suffered a lot due to the lack of an air-conditioner. So if you are your early 20s the place is good, but not for an early 30s couple.

Great location, easy check in

This is a nice no frills hostel, the desk people are nice and friendly. The decor is cool. Others have noted that it’s a third floor walk up and the walk up isn’t lit, I didn’t think that was too bad at all, you have some light from the street so it’s not pitch dark by any means. Good location and close to all transportation. Not shabby by any means but definitely no frills, I would say if it’s a deal for you at the time of booking then do it. Only thing is that the private rooms don’t have an option for a private bathroom, only the larger apartments have that option.

+/-

There were natural gas smell in the room, and I asked the reception and they said it is normal!!! There were no elevator or any help to take the luggage's three stores which was 5 floor tall comparing to normal building) If there were slippers it would be great. The people were welcoming, the kitchen staff were available, such dishes coffees and ... location was great to access city center with some walks.
Muhammed, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hostel is decorated imaginatively, the staff is extremely helpful, providing anything you request if it is available. Only 2 downsides: 1. It is a very old building with no elevator. If you can't walk 4 flights of stairs, this isn’t the place for you. 2. They do NOT take credit cards, even though all the booking websites say they do.They only accept cash or wire transfer and they only let you know this on the day of check-in. They also list the price in euros instead of the local currency. That being said, they are very relaxed about the payment, giving us ample time to get to a bank and withdrawing the money. All things considered I would stay there again. One last thing: the building entrance can be hard to find. Just look for the Museum of Failure; it's just to the left.

arte moderna in contesto storico

Ostello ben curato e giovanile in un contesto storico, le foto rispecchiano la realtà, disponibili camere con e senza bagno, cucina sempre disponibile e su richiesta asciugacapelli. unica pecca negativa la mancanza di pos per il pagamento in loco, ma nulla di cosi terribile. Ottima la posizione con la fermata del bus 100E che collega la città all'aeroporto e svariate fermate di mezzi pubblici, preseti bar e punti ristoro nelle vicinanze. Sicuramente terrò in considerazione la struttura per i futuri soggiorni a Budapest.
