It is a very decent quality hostel, very recently renovated, near the Gellert hill and close to the historic center. Very nice personel, very large facility but still comfortable. There are showers in rooms, but it has no toiletts, you have to use the once at the corridor. I guess it is OK for this type of hostel. Since the... More

We chose City Hostel Buda for the price and it certainly was cheap. Rooms were fine, as were shared bathrooms. Location is pretty average, 30 to 40 mins walk to the city. The reception set up is a bit chaotic for such a large hostel with big queues always waiting for keys, info etc. The guy that was on reception... More

When i was looking for a place in Budapest i was looking for a cheap and close to city place to sleep. the plus of the hostel was the price, clean, silent and the nice staff. the minus were this bloody hill (if you don' have a car, good luck with the "trekking" on the hill), the lack of toilet...

We stayed four nights at City Hostel Buda during a recent backpacking trip through Central Europe. The price was great. The room was simple, no kitchen or toilet in room but we had two twin beds, a sink and a shower. The toilet and kitchen were near our room in the hallway. This hostel is not in the 'happening' part... More

I stayed in the hostel for just one night. I quite liked it. It's not the fanciest place you can hang out, but if you just want to have a decent and clean place where to sleep, go for it! The place is actually a student dorm used in summer as a hostel. So yeah, you can imagine long corridors... More

This place felt like a hospital, really! The guy at reception didn't know his head from his thumb and was incapable of giving me proper directions. I packed my bags the next day and left! Budapest is a fun place and this hostel is far from being fun!

To begin with the place looks like an old hospital/mental institution . The rooms are extremely tiny and have really dirty walls and floors. When we awoke the morning after. our arrival we were astonished to find the place crawling with ants - hundreds of them. When we were eventually relocated our next room was the same size with blood... More

It's not because 'newly renovated' means that they're still in the progress of renovating and are actually situated next to a buildingsite. Or because the 'green part of Gellert-Hill' means it's quite a hike to any of the interesting parts of town. Or because the place has the atmosphere and characteristics of an empty hospital. Or that the little amount... More
