Excellent value, especially as breakfast was included. Really nice room (private bathroom for us, window onto central “courtyard”, quiet [might be due to January occupancy]) and good facilities (kitchen, bar, cafe) on the ground floor. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I ended up with a family room. Plenty of room for a family with a private bathroom. Place was clean and tidy. Right in the centre of Budapest and close to all sights. Supermarkets are close by too, would definitely stay here again.

We loved it! We stayed in a private room and private bathroom, the room was immaculate, the bed was comfortable and the A/C worked amazingly well! Staff was nice and helpful. The hotel is right next to the M2 subway line and a 15 minute walk from the train station.

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel, it is very warm in winter, the temperature in the rooms can be adjusted. I appreciate the fact that everything was clean and well maintained. The lobby and coworking area are magnificent, I have never seen such luxury in a hostel at such low prices. I will recommend this hotel to anyone, I have stayed in 3 other hostels around Budapest and this is the best in my opinion. Breakfast at a very affordable price.

Very nice stay at this Hostel. The bartenders were unenthusiastic and both took a 30 minute smoke break together during happy hour. Felt safe and clean.

Everything was awesome. The only two things I would change are: 1. Clean more often and 2. Doors that don’t slam. The staff is so kind and helpful. I would likely stay here again.

Rooms are small but expected for the cheap price. The bathrooms however were very dirty - the drains in one of the shower was clogged so the water would take 5 mins to drain

The kitchen area was poor. 2 microwaves, 1 kettle and a air fryer. Difficult to cook yourself a meal. Would be nice if there was a quiet area to watch tv. Beds super comfortable. Large lockers. Dorm areas verybquiet. Would be nice if beds had privacy curtains. Easy check in. Located close to public transport
