Stayed for a few nights in August during Sziget Festival, The staff were extremely friendly on check in, helpful and always happy to help and talk to. At night the hostel is unattended and we had people knocking at the door asking for beds, not great if your a light sleeper and one of you has to go answer! The... More

Dirty, dirty, dirty! So i was curious to see what others had written about this hotel and then I realised that half of the reviews are more than 1 year old! Went with some friends and stayed 2 nights in March 2012. I would agree that it is central but by no means is it comfortable. This hostel only has... More

It was very cheap, true so I couldn't expect much more... But when it's full you may have to share one single bathroom with more than 20 people! If you want to take a number 2 and a shower in the morning, well you'd better wake up at night otherwise you may have to wait hours until you're done. Other... More

Great location, lovely helpful staff and a really nice atmosphere - the staff definitely go out of their way to help you enjoy your stay in Budapest, recommending places to see and helping you to get there. The only drawbacks were that the rooms come directly off the common area so it's a bit noisy at night when the hostel... More

I stayed at this hostel for almost a week last April and had a great experience. I went there on the recommendation of my girlfriend, who had stayed there with a couple of friends last year and was very happy with the hostel overall. This was my first time in Budapest and I really enjoyed my stay in this awesome... More
