Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property was about what I normally expect from a hostel. It was clean but a little run down. And the room with private bathroom was not actually a private bathroom. And the couple in the adjacent room who shared the semi-private bathroom were terribly messy. They should be more specific that it is not actually a private bathroom. Overall it was a decent stay. The location is great, near everything. With plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. And it is perfect for the airport bus. The station is right next to the hostel.

For a hostel, amenities were good. Shower and toilet are separate rooms, which I liked. I especially appreciated the bed curtains. A little privacy goes a long way in a hostel.

The hostel has switched to fully code-based entry. This was awesome since I arrived when there was no staff onsite and could easily enter the building, the hostel and my room without interacting with anyone. The hostel is very conveniently located, meters away from the Airport Express bus stop. Facilities are clean. My first impression was that there were not enough washrooms or showers, but I didn’t encounter anyone else in the washroom or shower area during my stay, so it seems fine. All in all, this was a good stay and great value.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The IKEA wardrobe felt out of place. Would have found more use from a low shelf and an exposed hanging rail and or hooks. Bathroom fittings could do with a replacement or thorough cleaning being noticeably corroded. Do not think it was worth paying extra for a private bathroom given the layout and lack of hooks or rails... The square outside can be a bit noisy at night, but as a consolation, the location is convenient with nearby access to Deak Ferenc ter and the airport bus.

Great location. Very central for travel to and from airport as downtown and on main road. Slot of food options a stone's throw away. Initial entry can be awkward as you aren't given a code and there's no bell to ring. I was lucky a group of friends were entering to go and apartment they'd rented when I arrived so they let me in and I was able to go upstairs to the hostel. Guy on duty was really friendly and very helpful. I stayed in the ensuite and whilst it was great , the ceiling possibly needed a lick of paint as there was a watermark and the bathroom showerhead needed cleaning as it had a limescale build up. This aside the room was great. I'd definitely stay again

6/10 Okay

Very basic, cheap accommodation at a great location. Very convenient to/from the airport. The 100E bus from the airport stops almost in front of the building. Phone or doorbell kept ringing early dawn with nobody at the reception desk and I could hear it in our room, even though it was far away. Then some construction or repair work started early morning when they were drilling the walls or something. Impossible to sleep.

Great staff and clean environment. Unfortunately there was no after hours emergency contact information left. I experienced someone having sex in the room and I had no one to contact. Also the mattress was too thin and there was a permanent pit in the center of it

Horrible experience

I’ve been this with the private bathroom option for a single person however there are a couple of disappointments. 1 - the front gate of the entrance is very scratchy, not recommend for young woman to choose. 2 - the actual room is not really match to the photos. Those photos online are highly saturated and it is not very clean. 3 - I would highly recommend to compare different reviews before booking this.

The location is amazing! Just in the middle of Pest and close to almost all landmarks. If you don’t want to walk it is also 1 min away from transportation options such as subway and bus includes airport bus. The staff was very friendly and was helpful to meet our needs. It was very nice to see smiling faces when coming in or going out in the lobby. In the hostel they have a kitchen with all suppliers if you want to cook and a separated room what has two coffee machines, two microwaves and few chairs with a table to have your food there. They also provide the coffee, sugar etc. If I visit Budapest in the future again, I will not search any other place to stay Absolut’ly ❤️ Thank you Absolut City for making our trip unforgettable.
