Ana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Fantastic place! Great space for working/chilling out. Next to bus/tram/metro stops so incredibly easy to get around the city. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Would definitely reccommend!

Morgane, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The inside was great and the rooms A/C was fantastic! However the Hostel isn’t located in an amazing area. Other than the area, everything else was great.
Alexander, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Audrey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was clean with everything that I needed. Staff were friendly and professional. The location is great, close to metro, buses and and trams so you can easily get around the city.
Andrew Peter, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was pretty good! The people on the lobby were helpful all the time!

6/10 Good

Shared bathroom booking was good in terms of being cheaper, and it was cleaned by the staff daily, but of course if other guests leave it in a poor state that makes it less pleasant to use, which unfortunately was the case. Hotel staff were very helpful and pleasant.
4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Jackie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

it’s just a walk away from the train and tram station. The room is very clean and quiet.It has a kitchen and you can prepare/cook your food. Laundry area is available.
sheryl, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Mihai Alexandru, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay stay

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
2-night trip

6/10 Good

I said the water drain in the family shower room wasn't working properly, but it wasn't resolved.
