The ladies at reception were so lovely! Very warm and caring, always very attentive to any issues or questions I had. My luggage didn't arrive until late the next day after check in due to airline issue and they gave me a fresh shirt to wear as I didn't have any other clothes. Unparalleled hospitality, and I hope the universe looks after them the way they look after others.

Everything was perfect! It was very clean and the location was amazing. Near bus and tram stops and metros are also nearby so going anywhere in the city is super easy. There are several shops restaurants and cafés around that makes it the perfect place for a stay. I asked the owner if we can check in earlier and they allowed us to do that so I'm very thankful

We booked this hostel because it offered private rooms as well, it looked decent in photos and the location/price seemed more than OK. Communication with them was quick and professional, as they have 24h reception, I received answers to my questions quite fast, even though I sent them in the middle of the night. The staff seemed helpful and friendly - and that's exactly how they were when we arrived. However, the biggest surprise happened when we got into our room. First of all, it's bright and spacious, and the photos definitely don't do it justice, as it looked and felt warm, clean, and fresh, with a big, comfortable bed. Our room had a private bathroom, and there was also a small, common kitchen with few appliances and a fridge - we only used it to make coffee a few times, but it was possible to even prepare some food as there were dishes and pans available, too. Free internet, of course - but more importantly, it was available (with excellent signal and speed!) in every corner of the hostel which was super convenient. Also a great location, close to public transport, a supermarket, and restaurants - all within a few hundred meters away. As we don't know anyone local and didn't have any recommendations before booking this place, I feel lucky that we chose this hostel, it made our stay much more pleasant and stress-free, so much that I felt the need to write a longer, more detailed review for anyone considering this place. And, obviously - I will book them again when I visit Budapest!

The place is cool, a bit oriented toward younger pop, but you can fit in in case you are extroverted and like to hang out, I was in the winter time, obviously if you want it buzzin you should go during peak months - summer and also NY.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
