to get started.

Loved the location as it was on a beautiful island away from the busy city. There are 2 amazing and fun bars right outside the hostel (island hippie and champs) that provides a great atmosphere to relax, drink and socialize. I was impressed with the cleanliness and security of the hostel, I would recommend this place to my friends

Staying on the beautiful island at the hostel was a pleasure. Enjoyed the convenient location for food, drinks, fountain viewing (day and night), and, of course, wandering along the Danube. Highly recommend using the bike rental at the hostel to explore the island, very convenient.

The location is terrific with the views from the huge terrace, one of the most amazing that you can get in Budapest. This might make up for everything. The rooms were just newly painted, with cheerful colors and murals. If all the minus points were sorted out, I would love to go back and stay there again.

Great location on Margaret Island, very peaceful and scenic by the Danube. There is a huge terrace/balcony where you can sit and enjoy the view. Connected to the City Centre by bus which you can take from right outside the hostel.

Staff are not polite. Many hostels I have stayed in europe so far. But this one staff was not good not all but one person we had very bad experience. The lady who clean the room she was very nice and polite and understand us very well when we ask for help . But reception guy was bit rude . Worst part is they have kitchen but they say oil you have to buy by yourself . Its not a bad thing but everyone come for two three days trip and if everyone start getting oil 1 liter each its waste and they force to leave it in hostel in that case they r supposed to have oil which was left by others but they say buy your own. this I'm saying because so far I stayed in 10 hostels all over europe i know how things go there. Dont expect the staff to help u especially the guy . I'm sorry to be rude it was horrible though

The location was great, the receptionist guy was really friendly and polite, even though I checked-in after hours. The terrace was spacious and the place had a bar downstairs. The Wi-Fi service was working really good.

An Inside Look at Island Hostel Budapest

Island Hostel is a brand new place on Margaret Island of Budapest. We are waiting for our guests with comfort and a friendly atmosphere in the city center. Guests can relax, chill out on our 200 m2 private terrace after the party nights or daytime, facing to the river under a massive roof giving shadow from the strong summer sun heat. The hostel has its own bar where you can get all kind of drinks and can taste delicious foods next door or if you want to cook, we have a fully equipped common kitchen. The hostel has a very nice river view to the Pest side from the hall, from the kitchen and the front dorm rooms. Even go for a run on the special running path around the island, you find it front of the hostel. The hostel area provides free wifi connection.

Some of my property was damaged and they did not offer to compensate me immediately and they still haven't offered any compensation. It was entirely their fault that it was damaged as well as it was a member of staff that ripped my jacket while they were repairing lockers.

We were sleeping in a room where there was a ping-pong table outside. Even if it's supposed to be quiet after 22:00, people sometimes played. We couldn't have the door closed since it was so hot, so it could be bothering at times!
Everything else! Friendly staff, nice location, very cozy terrace. I would highly recommend Island Hostel to anyone!

Pretty hot in the summer, but there are fans.
Staying on the island is ideal, not too far away from town but quieter and lots of trees. Very chill vibes and everyone is really kind and helpful. Definitely a hippy hostel, exactly as they describe.

It was very far from the centre, like a 45 minute walk if not more, which can be annoying.
Good, social atmosphere, kind staff, pretty good facilities. The beds are comfortable, and the location definitely brought its benefits: the island is very nice.

The outside seating area is really close to the room, so there's no sleep whilst people sit there. Also the shower head needs to be hung at a different angle, else the bathroom becomes a lake.
Really friendly and attentive staff. Good value for money. Overall very relaxed hostel.
