It is an amazing hostel. We only got to spend one night but next time we'll stay for the week. Great communication with the team. We had a late arrival and were given full details on how to access our room. We stayed in the yurt. It was clean, the beds comfy. And the setting is very nice, nice house and garden. And the staff nice and friendly. Will definetely visit again! I highly recommend it.

Well situated in the centre of Budapest, NETIZEN Budapest Centre offers air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a restaurant.

The accommodation features a shared kitchen, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for guests.

Staff was amazing- very kind and helpful. Location was great - near a few metro stations, but you can basically walk most places by foot. Many restaurants, supermarkets and bars close by. Very clean and safe- all doors for rooms are closed for whoever is not sharing your room with you. Didn't try breakfast.
