Highly recommended for anyone looking for a social, fun, and welcoming hostel stay!

The place is only 3 months old, so everything is clean and modern. Nice espresso machine available anytime, good for early risers like me 😄. Staff were always friendly and polite. I only stayed one night but definitely will return to stay for longer. Great location

Shantee House offers dormitory rooms, free WiFi and a garden in a quiet area in the 11th district of Budapest, a 5-minute walk away from tram and bus stops.

A common room with satellite TV, a safety deposit box, a 24-hour front desk service, laundry facilities and a fully equipped kitchen are available in the house. Guests also have access to the garden with hammock and can rent bicycles and skateboards on site. I really enjoyed my stay! It’s a bit outside the city center, but it’s very comfortable, clean, and has a nice common area. To be honest, it didn’t even feel like staying in a hostel, it felt more like a “home” vibe.

Conveniently located in Budapest, Carpe Noctem Hostel offers air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge and free WiFi. The property is around 1.5 km from Hungarian Parliament Building, 1.9 km from Heroes' Square and 1.9 km from Dohany Street Synagogue. The accommodation features karaoke and a shared kitchen.

The rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area, a flat-screen TV and a safety deposit box. All guest rooms at Carpe Noctem Hostel come with a shared bathroom and bed linen. Carpe has been more than just a hostel, it's an experience of a lifetime. The hostel is set up just like a massive apartment of a friend's, so everyone is more or less pushed towards getting to know each other and making fast friends in a couple of hours is a given. There is a perfect balance of feeling right at home and being so lively and social that no two nights ever feel the same. The staff during my stay have not only been super friendly but you can tell they're genuinely invested in making sure everyone feels included and has an unforgettable time. They have family dinners and drinking games every night before the staff takes everyone out for different activities like pub crawl, boat or a bus party, bowling, etc. So there is plenty to do even for a week that I kept extending my stay. Special shoutout to Gemma who was so helpful in getting me settled in and lifted my mood after a long and tiresome trip getting into the city: she made the check-in process very entertaining by singing Hungarian folk songs, gave me great recommendations for things to do in the city as well as hostel reccs for the next cities of my trip. If you want to meet incredible, like-minded people who always want to have a good time and experience Budapest in the most life-changing way possible, this hostel is the way to go.
