    You can hear everything that happens on the street. The sound isolation is not good. You can clearly hear people talking on the street

    Good location. Spacy rooms with comfortable beds. The staff was very fast in resolving all of our problems

    Room size should be bigger, and bed should have enough space to atleast sit for some while.

    Location is the best.

    The cleanliness was ok, but it can be improved a lot. The bed wasn't that comfortable, but for one night it did its work.

    The position was perfect, 10 minutes walk from one of the most famous ruin pub in Budapest. They upgraded our twin room with a small apartment located in another street, 5 minutes form the reception so we had no problem with that.

    I would not choose to stay again due to better experience in other hostels, similar price.

    Few things: 1) Shower, messiness and not cleaning after people who previously used it: old towels, clothes, shampoo. Weird as sometimes there is place to leave your own stuff. 2) Dealing with more serious issues and I will keep it private due to resolution we finally made with management. It was very challenging experience. Good thing they stood up like a hosts and kept integrity with solution. 3) Sheets changing time if you stay longer, make sure to remind reception.

    Staff approach. Kindness, being helpful and for people. They are really committed team. Towel are given for Free. Owner was open and shared his story, also provided Iron when asked. Generally good feeling. Shower ,usually only one person occupy space even there is many people in the hostel.

    The three things I didn't like was not having A/C, mixed dormitory, and hitting my head on the upper bunk.

    First of all, the people who run this place are amazing and genuinely nice people. Second, I love the location of this place and across the street is a great pastry place and the coke is 50 forint less than at the hostel. Third, I really enjoyed the coffee they make for you. Sometimes you pay for it and sometimes they offer it to you for free. I slept very well and the mattresses are actually comfortable. It is clean.

    10/10 location for discovering downtown Budapest, even if you are on a budget and/or visiting pubs. Easy access with public transport and small shops for food within walking distance. The value for money is great

    There is a decent-sized window in the room but you can open it just a little, so there wasn't enough oxygen in the room

    I picked this hostel because it was one of the cheapest options, but it was quite good almost in every sense

    A hostel for working people.

    Although it didn’t affect me, this hostel felt that it was exclusively for local people looking for work in the area, with some Ukrainians and Syrians. I was the only tourist. This would not be for a young backpacker looking to meet like minded people, and make friends. The kitchen only had a kettle, microwave and fridge. There was no hobs or oven for cooking.

    The location was perfect for me, quite near the main train station. The walk to the centre of Budapest was short and pleasant.

    The stairs to the apartment were very slippery and I slipped down the stairs when coming down. Please put up a sign to warn guests or rubber strips on the stairs to make them less slippery. There's a lift that one can use but since the apartment is on the first floor we thought it would be quicker to use the stairs.

    When we arrived we were told that we were going to get a free upgrade to Melisa Apartments. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with a little kitchenette, great AC. It was a perfect little place.

    The hostel nears city center and metro so it is easy to go to city sightseeing. Room is very clean. Towels are free to use 😊

    Please someone lubricate the fan. The bedsheets were not clean tbh. But the room was clean. And I would recommend this place for solo travellers and someone who is looking for 1 night or 2-night stay in Budapest with a reasonable price. Otherwise, i would suggest a different place.

    Well the good thing was the reception and 24/7 working hours. The location is superb as well. Good wifi, big enough locker to restore the baggage. Price was good, i think it's literally the best one in this price range in Budapest. I will visit again for sure one day.
