A nice enough, comfy hostel, with great staff, ideally located for getting to different sights in budapest. It's not luxurious, but you do not expect that from a hostel. It's clean, everyone is very helpful, and the price is great. It was kind of an emergency, since we could not find anything, and this was one of the rare things... More
