Very clean and good facilities. They were running donation based tours which was great. Free breakfast was great. Free dinner if you spend 4euros at the bar. Games night. Sports playing on tv. Lots of space to hanging out! They had a hostel WhatsApp group so other travellers were making plans together, great way to make friends. Great hostel and really good value for money and great atmosphere! Right by the train station so easy to get to from the airport.

N/A

It is a smooth operation. Seems very organized. Each floor has a kitchen. Each bed has its own lockable shelf (lock not provided), plug & lamp along with a decent sized locker. Plenty of seating if you arrive early and want to hang out. No issues with wifi. A simple but solid breakfast that is replenished throughout the serving time so no issues for the snoozers.

checkin and checkout got a bit crowded but still didn’t have to wait long you need to pay a 5eur cash deposit upon checkin which is totally fair but obnoxious if you’re not expecting it and traveling without cash since everywhere in Budapest seems to accept card (not a real complaint)

So, this is the ONLY REVIEW you need to ever read Everything that a hostel should have, this one does. Good location (octagon square) Great breakfast with eggs (free breakfast with no eggs is not even worth anything ever) Also breakfast time is good 8.30 to 11. Checkout is 11 am too (unlike many other hostels with 10 am checkout and breakfast ending at 10 am too) Best value for money honestly in off season it can be as low as 9 euros going up to 25 euros in peak season and weekends. Perfect mix of party hostel vs quiet hostel. Doesn't go to any one extreme. Great common room and kitchen . Free luggage storage Volunteers are doing good job , I met Andres from Costa Rica and Michael from France. Very welcoming and also the blonde girl at check in 5 euro charge as deposit which you get back Small details in dorm rooms : Beds are already made unlike many other hostels where they give you sheets and you gotta make them. Small thing but when you arrived tired, it's good to see a ready bed. small locker IN ADDITION to large ones (a first) Curtains for privacy (Small thing but many hostels don't have it) Hanging hooks 🪝 (small thing but you will be surprised how many hostels don't have it, sometimes even in bathrooms they don't) Good mattress + enough height for each bed, bottom or top with high ceilings

ANY MINUSES? Yes there are, no free towels, that's with most hostels 7 euro for laundry which they do for you. Bit steep. It's budapest and not Switzerland 😉 Detailed review to follow on youtube. Mark helpful if you found this review helpful 👍

I would recommend the girl from Chile, the ginger one for her friendly attitude, personality . I would not recommend the other ginger working at reception, maybe she is local who came across grumpy often. I would also recommend the night shift guy the one with the beard, not a local chap, , who on 8th Jan helped me out liaising with the waiting taxi man who drove me to the airport just after 3 am. Thank you .

Some of the staff looked grumpy all the time . A smile every now and then would be good ... I know it is a job for them but at the end of the day, patrons are the ones paying staff wages.. The bed was a a bit squeaky whenever I was just moving while in bed. I would suggest to get thicker pillows as the ones you used are a bit too small and thin. Breakfast wise , the free coffee was not too good. and I would suggest if you can have honey and instant coffee available during breakfast time.

Everything was sparkling clean, cozy and nicely furnished. The staff was always in a good mood and very helpful. The location of the accommodation is excellent, there are many cafes, restaurants and shops nearby. The most beautiful monuments are about 30 minutes walk away. Metro station (M1) is right in front of the entrance, which is a huge advantage. The buffet breakfast included basic items such as toast, eggs, vegetables or cereal with milk - nothing to complain about for the price.

I might just mention the broken dresser drawers in our room, but that's about it.

Fabulous location within easy walking distance of everything and Metro right outside for longer trips. Incredible value for money considering breakfast included. Could also get dinner and bar drink for 4 Euros every night.

Please consider investing in new pillows!

The hostel is located in the centre of Budapest near Oktogon, just a 5-minute walk from Nyugati and also Wesselényi utca, Király utca, etc so location is perfect :). The hostel has many-many rooms, even floors and large friendly common areas; making it a buzzing meltingpot of a hub for fellow travellers. The atmosphere is chill and friendly. The staff is always friendly and well-informed. A big plus for me is that they are striving to honor special requests (I have severe vision loss). The rooms are as-described; cozy, clean, well-equipped. What more could you ask for? :) Oh I forgot the included delish breakfast, but keep in mind that you can opt-in for the yummy dinner options (check the blackboard behind the reception).

The location is very centred at Oktogon, good transport connection, lots of sites nearby. Old building with spiral stairs and high ceilings. Spacious room.

Breakfast starts at 8, what seems a bit late. I just had a peek at the canteen, saw margarine, bread, eggs, orange juice and coffee station , but it was so busy and loud (apparently 3d grade schoolchildren parallel on excursion to Budapest) that I decided to opt in favour of numerous lovely cafes located nearby. Bed sheets are so tired that give a feeling of not fresh linen. The fact of having to pay a deposit for room keycard 2000huf/5eur in cash could be made more obvious until a tired traveller climbed the stairs)

Very special atmosphere thanks to the many south Americans working in the hostel. Without them this place wouldn't be the same

On the second floor, in the space outside the dorms, chairs should be removed because people sit there to chat or to phone loudly during the night.

Well managed

I switched from another hostel close to city centre to this hostel for free breakfast but Breakfast timing was after 8 am and early traveller like me couldn’t benefit of it.
