Lock in a great price for Gaia Hostel – rated 9.4 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!

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

Judy & Zumrut was very nice and helpful. Good location, if you want a quite area.

Yangtsola, India

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

Desiree, Spain

Location is almost perfect. 5 min walk to the center.

Javier, Spain

Great staff and very clean. The location is also great. Thank you!

Diana, Croatia

Central location right by Astoria metro station. Very clean throughout and room spacious for family of 4 with teenagers. Lovely homely touches like plants and pictures. Kitchen well equipped. Staff very welcoming and helpful especially with our late night arrival.

Hazel, United Kingdom

Small hostel with spacious rooms and all the facilities we needed (e.a. kitchen, washing machine, plenty of clothing racks to hang stuff to dry, etc). The place feels super homey and the host is friendly and helpful.
