Private room w/ shared bathroom was perfect for me Location and staff 👌🏼😍

Guillem

Staff were friendly and helpful, there were plenty of on-site activities, the accommodations were clean and secure, and the location near the city center can't be beat.

Mxuhuru

The apt is spacious, great view from the bedroom. The place was clean (except pot room). Staff was cool. Kitchen was well equipped.

Arun

United States of America

This was one of the most well run, friendliest places we have ever stayed in! Staff communication was stellar and facilities fantastic. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. We had an apartment not attached directly to the hostel.

Leslie

Canada

The location was excellent! Our room had a direct view of the St Stephens basilica and most sights in Pest were within 10-20 minutes by foot. There was also plenty of space and a well equipped kitchen which was great.

My husband and I stayed here with our 7yo son for 3 nights in the summer, we had a private quadruple self catering apartment, it was perfect; Room was huge with 4 beds and another double on a separate mezzanine; location was perfection - right opposite the Basilika; self catering facilities were great - cooker, fridge etc. The main hostel building had a cool vibe with lots of services available for a charge eg laundry. Staff were very friendly. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Joanne

United Kingdom

This place is located perfectly, right next door to St. Stephen's Basilica. Most everything is close by, the river is approximately a 15 minute walk. The staff was super helpful, the patrons I met were wonderful, the whole experience with them was very positive.

The toilet(powder room) is very small and too far away from the bathroom(no toilet). It would be nice to have a normal dripping coffee maker not a pressurized espresso machine without any coffee powder.
The location is very good, close to the Budapest Eye. It has 2 huge rooms.

We had private apartment which was very spacious, had a little balcony that you can just sit and enjoy the beautiful view to St. Istvan Basilica..Could not expect any better. Private entrance to the apartment, so no problem with leaving and entering any time..Very good choice when traveling with children (important sight-seeings are near by, so no complains of feet pain). We will certainly repeat!!!

There is a huge bathroom, however the shower is in a bathtub without curtains wetting all the floor during the shower.
A really big apartment outside the hostel's main building. Superb location, with really cool restaurants nearby; close to the main attractions of Budapest. The room have a small kitchen with a small fridge and stove (with all the supplies necessary), what is good for breakfasts and snacks.

I got bed sheet with some small red points on it... Was super nervous at first, because this is usually a sign of bed bugs, but in the end I experienced none during my stay. Though it had me to really stress out. Asking to change the sheet would be useless - if there are bed bugs, they're not on the linen itself. Oh, and someone stole my cheese from the fridge. So better leave your food in your room (my room had fridge too).
The best location you can think of in Pest. The hostel has reception desk, kitchen, common area. The place looks better than I expected looking at pictures.
