I liked everything about the hostel. The staff is amazing, very helpful and friendly people at the reception and the bar, the room was spacious and the bed was amazing.

Everything very clean and new. Slept very well, there was AC on, comfortable beds and intimate, despite being in a 4 women dorm. I liked the toilet & shower area is outside the room, gives you more privacy. The staff was lovely, super helpful and chill!

I don't understand the question about the price matching my expectations, which were very high. I liked everything, including the hostel's Himalayan look, having spent several years in that region.

The room was great and clean, there were 5 bathrooms on our floor, so you never had to wait in line for them. We only used the kitchen once or twice but it was well equipped. The location is very good, there is a Lidl 1 minute away and the metro station is really close as well. We explored most of the Budapest on foot, so this was a great starting point. We had no trouble with checking in/out and unlocking our room, sometimes the app glitched but after trying again it opened the door fine. Overall a great accomodation for its price.

All hostels in Budapest

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location of the hostel, you can reach it by walking from the train station as well. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the air condition was decent - it was cool enough in the room but not too cold for me to get sick. I really appreaciated the sockets were located above each bed. The bathroom in the room was also really appreciated. In general, I think this is one of the best hostels I have ever visited, especially for such decent price! I would definitely love to come back one day!

We stayed here for a stag do for two nights. What a great place to stay, its very cheap! There was a bar below our rooms that stayed open till 6am with music and food. So after our night out we would come back here to finish the night. It's in a great location bang in the middle for all bars, food and drink. The rooms were fab, the showers were really good for a hostel, powerful. You get a locker in your room too so its very safe. The staff were really helpful.
