when i arrive the hostel i waited nearly 20minutes at reception cause of shift change. This hostel was the worst that i have ever stayed. No airconditionar in the rooms, the bed was too thin. İt was nearly impossible to sleep comfortable. Some people were sleeping at common area beacuse of airconditionar just work at that common areas. Hostel have breakfast service at mornings , it was not enough but ok u can eat something anyway. Spanish staff who works at kitchen for the breakfast were so friendly and kind. Maybe hostel just have 2 positive things to say; 1 is location was good, the second is i think people just prefer that hostel cause its sociability, u can make many friends there

Really good location, the guys running the hostel were great. Really fun time and they made it easy to meet people.
There was a man snoring really badly, not sure about whether we could have done anything about this, but obviously not the hostel's fault. (When I say bad, I mean bad enough it stopped people sleeping and woke us up).

Great location within walking distance all places of interest. Breakfast was standard - bread with spreads, boiled eggs, cereal, salad with tea, coffee and cordial. The lift was small, old and creaky but it worked. Airport shuttle was great for EUR21 cash for three of us. We stayed in a private room which had it's own shared common area for cooking and eating. Lots of little cafes, fast food and small supermarkets were all within a block of the hostel.

I stayed here for 3 nights. I arrived early on the Wednesday morning and there was no problem checking in. I was even shown to the room/bed.
There was a toilet and shower in the room but option to use showers and toilets in corridor. These were really clean and cleaners were in there after each person in the morning.
The room did get very warm so bare this in mind when it's warm.
The free breakfast in the morning was a bonus. As was the drink and small dinner offer at night.
Fridges on each floor for cold items and full kitchen to use.
Staff were friendly.
One of the better Hostels I've stayed in and would return.

Perfect location, excellent staff all round, over 200 beds yet eveything was very well organised. Very Clean, enough toilets and showers, great breakfast included. Only one flaw was the outside noise, closing the windows eradicated the noise but then made the room uncomfortable with the heat so was a hard choice which to suffer with.

I stayed here many times and most the staff is always nice and friendly. Unfortunately I checked out with a receptionist who was maybe having a bad day.

A big and lively hostel it seems. Receptionist was nice and clear and helpful. The rooms were towards the main road, and Budapest traffic can be rather noise with the tram passing by and other things. The beds were a little squeaky and wobbly but the in principle all was clean and well maintained. When going into the building, it looks a little rough and the elevator has seen better days.
4.0 / 10.0
The hostel offers spectacular service. The entire team was very kind and attentive, especially the general manager of the hotel. I had a small problem with one of my reservations and Daniel was very empathetic and offered to help and resolve the issue instantly. The receptionists are super quick at check in, some of them speak other languages such as English, Portuguese and Spanish and were always willing to help with any question. Breakfast is great and super reinforced, I would only include a vegetable milk option for vegans. In addition to breakfast, they offer free dinner with the purchase of 3 Euros worth of drinks. The kitchen is very well equipped, you can cook in peace. In some rooms they also offer small kitchens, which is awesome and keeps the main kitchen from getting too crowded. The hostel offers discount coupons for various tourism and wellness partners.
Points for improvement: Cleanliness is good but not excellent. It's worth cleaning behind doors, bed furniture and inside closets. The only problem with some of the bathrooms (not all), are the plumbing systems, which are very old (I think it could be a structural problem in the building), so sometimes water accumulates in the shower stall and your feet are immersed in water, which is unhygienic. I also think that the hostel could invest in newer and whiter pillows, bed linen and bath towels, as you can see that everything is very old.

I definitely loved the location of the hostel, makes it easy to get anywhere.
The stuff is really nice and helpfull, Samy and Ricardo were very attentive when i got there.
I was traveling by myself and it made it easy to get to know people and have some fun 🤗
Only not so good part is that we were 8 in the room, which was full and only one bathroom, so it took forever to get ready in the morning 😅
I would recommend and also stay again here

Great stay and good for solo travellers although many people were in groups when I stayed but probably just a bad time of year. Evie and Mateo were super kind and helpful throughout my stay, and great location. Showers weren't great, but there's lots of thermal baths in Budapest so not a crazy issue.

The Staff were very friendly. Kept up multiple cleaning procedures during the day. And the location is great! Its close to everything you need for a day or week stay. In the evenings you can go to the 1st floor kitchen and meet other guest and share your tine. I highly recommend this hostels among the others innthe area that i also stayed at.

Very close to the metro station and easy to reach main sightseeing spots. Only one thing to be improved is response for the entrance bell. Sometimes anyone don’t open the door even when the staff is in the front.

Basically I made a mistake staying here. I had a good experience at a hostel in Belgrade but this was just too low-end for me, and the kicker was there is no air conditioning or fan and I was there during the summer heatwave of 2022 at 41 degrees. I got 3 hours of sweaty sleep and checked out the next morning, walking away from 2 non-refundable days.
You have to pay e5 for a towel and e3 for a lock, and cash only. Both of these should come with the room. My check-in took over 30 minutes as they were doing a "shift change" and the clerk seemed very inexperienced and had to call someone.
When you walk through the door on the street, the building looks like it hasn't been cleaned or maintained since the late 1700s. The elevator scared me. Once you get into the room though, the quality is OK.
If you can get past all that, the location is excellent, in the heart of the city right on the public transportation lines and within blocks of the ruin bars and riverfront.

Honestly, overall the cleanliness of hostel was poor. Many comments about bed bugs which I was afraid of, and having stayed there for 4 nights I can confirm it is true. The sheets and duvet covers are not clean and I did get bitten from it. Thankfully it wasn't as bad as I had it many years ago. Generally, if you walk around the property it does not give you a sense of hygiene and cleaniness.
Although reception was polite and helpful, easy to talk to which is the positive feedback I would be happy to give.

I booked a double room since I travel with my daughter and I don’t want to share room with other people. Room was spacious enough, with the basics: 2 twin beds, a cabinet to be used as closet, small desk with 2 chairs and big enough shower. It’s true that no towels are provided and if you need you have to pay 5 euros per each. Each floor has a fully equipped kitchen that you share with the rest of the guests in the same floor. Breakfast is good enough (boiled eggs, bread, coffee, oats, cereal, milk, cucumbers and tomatoes), each person has to wash their own plate/bowl/glass. The building is old and cold, elevator is so old fashion, but it’s entertaining to live the experience. The location is great, in Pest, where you can easily walk pretty much everywhere, prepare for long walks. All around the hostel is alive, lots of restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops, etc. It’s a safe neighborhood. Easy access to tram and metro and very easy to arrive from the airport. Recommended por a couple of days

Booked a double room, but got a very old dorm room (with a double bed) instead. Nothing is the same as in the pictures. Old floor, old bathroom, old wardrobe. Very disappointing experience. Staff couldn't do anything and said they don't have what we booked at the moment.
