10/10 Exceptional

Nice stay

Clean hostel with no hastle, good value for the money, central location next to Pest center
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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Fantastic Stay

Fantastic place! Great space for working/chilling out. Next to bus/tram/metro stops so incredibly easy to get around the city. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Would definitely reccommend!
David, 10-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

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.
Andrew Peter, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Audrey, 2-night trip

It was pretty good! The people on the lobby were helpful all the time!

10/10 Exceptional

it’s just a walk away from the train and tram station. The room is very clean and quiet.It has a kitchen and you can prepare/cook your food. Laundry area is available.
sheryl, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel, it is very warm in winter, the temperature in the rooms can be adjusted. I appreciate the fact that everything was clean and well maintained. The lobby and coworking area are magnificent, I have never seen such luxury in a hostel at such low prices. I will recommend this hotel to anyone, I have stayed in 3 other hostels around Budapest and this is the best in my opinion. Breakfast at a very affordable price.
Mihai Alexandru, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was awesome. The only two things I would change are: 1. Clean more often and 2. Doors that don’t slam. The staff is so kind and helpful. I would likely stay here again.
Jesse, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The kitchen area was poor. 2 microwaves, 1 kettle and a air fryer. Difficult to cook yourself a meal. Would be nice if there was a quiet area to watch tv. Beds super comfortable. Large lockers. Dorm areas verybquiet. Would be nice if beds had privacy curtains. Easy check in. Located close to public transport
shae, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location and cosy room.

The room is cosy and warm with elevator is the best part! The only problem might be have a loving slamming door neighbor(s) Bathroom is the best place, the heat able to keep the showroom dry so you wont feel nasty. Front desk is 24h and very helpful. The public kitchen utility quite complete although we only use the refrigerator and water machine. Highly recommended! Will choose if come back.

Perfect for a solo budget trip!!

This place is a perfect place if you are looking for something convenient, clean, safe, and extremely affordable. The front staff is friendly and professional. The lobby is super clean and has lots of sun from the roof window. I was here in late November, and there was no one using the bathroom/shower in the early morning. This place is located on top of a subway line; one stop from the major airport shuttle bus stop. There is a supermarket right next door. I stayed for three nights under 50 euros. You can’t find anything better than this at this price.
