Absolutely loved the stay; location is super amazing! Highly recommended, had the super cute room cozy and comfy
IndiaVery cosy two-room flat run as a hostel by Judit, a really friendly and caring host, in the heart of Budapest (Astoria). The location is definitely AAA in a typical building of the early XXth century and offering a large choice of gastronomy, and good quality (try the pizzeria Mamma Donna or the hungarian specialty local Drum Café both within walking distance). No need to unroll any Plan when coming from the airport, the bus leaves you basically in front of the door!
