Really nice stay, perfect for what I needed
Laura, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent value, especially as breakfast was included. Really nice room (private bathroom for us, window onto central “courtyard”, quiet [might be due to January occupancy]) and good facilities (kitchen, bar, cafe) on the ground floor. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I ended up with a family room. Plenty of room for a family with a private bathroom. Place was clean and tidy. Right in the centre of Budapest and close to all sights. Supermarkets are close by too, would definitely stay here again.

12 in a room is hard, but these Russian owners decided to provide a wonderful hostel at scale. Music, bar, breakfast, amazing location

Fantastic Stay

Fantastic place! Great space for working/chilling out. Next to bus/tram/metro stops so incredibly easy to get around the city. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Would definitely reccommend!
David, 10-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved it! We stayed in a private room and private bathroom, the room was immaculate, the bed was comfortable and the A/C worked amazingly well! Staff was nice and helpful. The hotel is right next to the M2 subway line and a 15 minute walk from the train station.
Audrey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was clean with everything that I needed. Staff were friendly and professional. The location is great, close to metro, buses and and trams so you can easily get around the city.
Andrew Peter, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The inside was great and the rooms A/C was fantastic! However the Hostel isn’t located in an amazing area. Other than the area, everything else was great.
Alexander, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All good. Lidl around the corner. Metro station at the entrance. Bus, tram stops within 100 meters
Faina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel, it is very warm in winter, the temperature in the rooms can be adjusted. I appreciate the fact that everything was clean and well maintained. The lobby and coworking area are magnificent, I have never seen such luxury in a hostel at such low prices. I will recommend this hotel to anyone, I have stayed in 3 other hostels around Budapest and this is the best in my opinion. Breakfast at a very affordable price.
Mihai Alexandru, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was awesome. The only two things I would change are: 1. Clean more often and 2. Doors that don’t slam. The staff is so kind and helpful. I would likely stay here again.
Jesse, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice stay at this Hostel. The bartenders were unenthusiastic and both took a 30 minute smoke break together during happy hour. Felt safe and clean.
Jackie, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Beds Unlaundered

The beds in both the 1st and replacement room had human hairs on them.
Dermot, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay stay

Rooms are small but expected for the cheap price. The bathrooms however were very dirty - the drains in one of the shower was clogged so the water would take 5 mins to drain

Totally adore everything! I came at 2 am in cause I was on the border with Ukraine and they met be that time with no problem. Everything was perfect. Clean, stylish, cozy, huge, friendly. Thanks a lot!
Anastasiia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The kitchen area was poor. 2 microwaves, 1 kettle and a air fryer. Difficult to cook yourself a meal. Would be nice if there was a quiet area to watch tv. Beds super comfortable. Large lockers. Dorm areas verybquiet. Would be nice if beds had privacy curtains. Easy check in. Located close to public transport
