10/10 Exceptional

My second time here and perfect stay again! Last time I stayed in a private room but this time none available so stayed in a dorm, also excellent! Spotlessly clean, good width and length of beds, linen looks brand new, comfortable, respectful room mates and lovely and quiet so easy to get good nights sleep! Great common shared spaces for socialising or working. Excellent strength wifi. I liked the area, right by the tram and metro making getting around easy. Delicious fresh and varied breakfast well worth it with cooked food (bacon, eggs, beans), pastries, fresh fruits and juice machine, the lady at breakfast Olga is very friendly and constantly ensures everything is topped up and clean and fresh. Highly recommend!

Probably one of the best hostels. The hostel is centrally located, easy to get from airport, near a Lidl, Jewish Quarters, train station, etc. The staff was amazing and the lobby area was beautiful. The hostel has fun activities for guest to participate while staying such as wine night, Bingo, etc. The rooms were cleaned regularly which was nice. The only downside is you may end up with the wrong hostel guest in your room. Unfortunately, our room had a person who came back late every night and got upset when others were getting ready at 7-9am.

Ana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent value, especially as breakfast was included. Really nice room (private bathroom for us, window onto central “courtyard”, quiet [might be due to January occupancy]) and good facilities (kitchen, bar, cafe) on the ground floor. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I ended up with a family room. Plenty of room for a family with a private bathroom. Place was clean and tidy. Right in the centre of Budapest and close to all sights. Supermarkets are close by too, would definitely stay here again.

The most amazing artistic and youthful design of the hotel really brings out only the positive feelings in you. The atmosphere in it is great, the rooms are nice and clean. It has an awesome location if you want to explore Budapest by walking or taking a metro/tram/bus.

10/10 Exceptional

Room was clean with everything that I needed. Staff were friendly and professional. The location is great, close to metro, buses and and trams so you can easily get around the city.

The inside was great and the rooms A/C was fantastic! However the Hostel isn’t located in an amazing area. Other than the area, everything else was great.
Alexander, 3-night trip

We loved it! We stayed in a private room and private bathroom, the room was immaculate, the bed was comfortable and the A/C worked amazingly well! Staff was nice and helpful. The hotel is right next to the M2 subway line and a 15 minute walk from the train station.
