the location is very convenient, 20-30 minutes by walk to the center of the city, and there are some shops nearby. it is easy to find the hostel as well. it was my third stay, i always choose this place when i need to wait before or after my flights. everything is clean, staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, they even let me check-in early if there are any available beds. my favourite thing is shower though, water pressure is not low like in other places.

I love the trip the most is the time when i need to rest. Its very comfortable and accessible from city center. There’s a lot of food stablishment around the property. Just if you get confused when arrived in budapest without an internet the property is beside the biang bistro opposite of burger king and very next to cbetral market from the green bridge. I will definitely come back soon with my friends. Highly recommended if you are in tight budget for travelling but not tight for spending souvenirs since its very next to central market hehehe.

All hostels in Budapest

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.
