A group of 6 friends went there for almost a week in Budapest. We had a 6 bed room, just for us and that was quite nice but the room had 1 double bed and 4 single beds which were not great quality. The room look like a storage room with a lot of useless stuff inside like 5 closets... More

We didn't receive the room that we booked. They gave us a much smaller one at the same price. The room was dirty, small and with bad smell. Don't trust the pictures that you see, they don't reflect the reality. At least they let us use the internet to look for another hotel. So don't waste your money here.

First of all, we rented a 3 room apartment with Emerald to arrive and find they have 'issues' with that apartment and only have a two room apartment for us. The '2 room apartment' was a one room apartment (kitchen with beds + bedroom) which somehow they call 2 room apartment. They offered it to us for the same price... More

We actually rented an apartment that was tired with this hostel. Overall we enjoyed our stay but it was very basic. It was also very very dirty. The guy was very nice as we had 10 stay in the 9 person place. There was definitely enough room for us, with three bedrooms the place was pretty big but he was... More

We had 3 nights booked in a bare minimum double room, only stayed for one in the end- felt like a prison. You are getting exactly what you pay for which is not much. Our blanket covers had holes in them, the bed sheet was really an old/well used flannel cover (we actually laid our travel towels on top of... More

Basically, you get what you pay for. Cheap rooms so don't be expecting en-suite bathrooms or 5 star lounges. The man that works there is as helpful as you need him to be. The place is hard to find but if you can read an adress and a map you can't really go wrong. What I do remember though is... More

I visited Budapest with three other friends and we stayed in a 4-bed dorm. The room was really spacious with great view on a busy and lively street. The hostel is rather small in size but a cosy atmosphere prevails. The owner was very friendly and helpful as well. Our stay in Budapest was amazing and I highly recommend this... More

A quiet place, with very kitsch room... But REALLY dirty. It's like they never clean, there is dust and hair everywhere and we know for a fact that they DIDN'T change the sheets in our room. Too bad cause otherwise it would've been a nice place...
