Lock in a great price for Gaia Hostel – rated 9.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

We felt very well taken care of. The owners were full of really helpful information. The hostel was spotless, cleaned thoroughly every single day. Small hostel right in the middle of everything, super convenient for walking, public transit, etc. We were very sad to leave when it was time to go. We will stay there again next time we come to Budapest, and send everyone we know there!

Shannon, United States of America

Owner was great and accommodating. Specifically met up with me and had great advice for getting around Budapest. Also, great location, walkable to everything.

Mm, United States of America

Really great hostel with a great staff - we felt like we were hosting in our best friends) Amazing location, you can walk everywhere. Strongly recommend it!

Yaroslav, Ukraine

Great location and host. We highly recommend the place.

Amit, Germany

Perfect position, very nice and ample room. Clean common toilets and bathroom. Very cozy atmosphere in a real Budapest building just in the center.

Koan69, Italy

Everything was perfect. The place is cozy, clean and comfortable. Even the position is great.

Luca, Italy

Good location, felt homely, clean and had every you need. Judit was lovely and really helpful!

Jasmine, United Kingdom

We were satisfied, Judith, the owner was very helpful and nice. We were feeling really good and comfortable :) The only little minus was temperature in our room - it was kinda chilly :/

Joanna, Poland

This hostel is awesome! Easy to find and with an excellent location, near to all the main points of the city. Some cafes, shops and exchange places around, underground station straight from the airport as well. Beds were very comfortable, we had our own room and it was exactly like the photos , with lots of plants that we had to water on Wednesday haha very cozy. We didn’t have the chance to talk a lot with Judith, hope next time we can meet her because we will be definitely back! :) xx

Towel provided had a bad smell like it hadn’t been washed or dried properly. Mattress must be old because there were springs sticking out into my back. Wifi was off and on for half my stay and at some points didn’t work at all.
