We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Das nest Budapest Hostel, and I must say it was a delightful experience. The hostel had a charming, old-world atmosphere that was both cozy and inviting. The rooms were well-maintained and exuded a nostalgic charm, with vintage decor and furnishings that added character to the space. The cleanliness of the hostel was impeccable, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. What truly set this hostel apart was the attention to detail in preserving its vintage aesthetic while providing a comfortable and pleasant stay. I would highly recommend the Hostel to anyone looking for a unique and cozy accommodation experience in a prime location. If we have a chance to visit Budapest for sure we will definitely stay there again.

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.
