This was actually the 2nd time I stayed at this hostel, the first time was 9 years ago when I was 27 years old and not single, but traveling solo. I really did have a great time then, and liked the loose atmosphere of the house. It was relatively clean, but most of all, the Hungarian staff were quite eager... More

Me and my wife came here for two nights while we were travelling Europe for our honeymoon. By far the most friendly, personable and welcoming hostel that we stayed in. The place looked fab with lots of little touches that really made all the difference, I especially liked the communal lounge and kitchen, very sociable. We can't wait to go... More

when arriving my group was excited after reading some good reviews about the place...being a chilled out retreat etc.when we got there all we could see was a boozy mess run by a very unhelpful blonde guy who seemed more interested in a tirade of english girls or stocking up the pott bong than helping us get settled. we weren't...

This hostel is the best I have found yet. The staff are worldy and so friendly and the hostel itself is homely and full of character. I would not hesitate to visit again and am sorry I could only visit for a day!

Backpack Guesthouse is the most wonderful, most amazing, most magical hostel I´ve ever been to! The hostel alone is fantastic, but the fact that it is in Budapest, the best city in Europe (perhaps the whole world), makes it just incredible. They have everything you´ll ever need, but it also has a common room where people come together in the... More

We stayed at this hostel in a weekend away in Budapest. It is a little out of the twon centre but transport there is very easy and runs all night. The Hostel itself was great. Had a really brilliant time and the staff were friendly and helpful. Defiantely would recommend if staying in Budapest

I have read some of the other reviews and was surprised to hear of some negative experiences. I had a fantastic time! The staff was friendly and helpful and the hostel itself was warm and inviting. I stayed there for 4 nights and had a great time. The rooms were clean, internet fast, beer cold, staff helpful, beds comfy....I instantly... More

The guy who owns/runs it has all his travel picks about the place and each room has a theme. There is a Yurt! its amazing. i loved staying here! oh and the free internet was... More

After 16 long hours by car stopped by cutoms police once in a while you really need a warm acceptance. That's what you find here, very nice and helpful staff providing almost everything you need. Rooms are only shared furnished with lockers , bunkbeds, and very nice paintings on the wall. There's a kitchen for guests, toilets are not so... More
