I've been traveling all over Europe and this is one of the best places I've stayed. It seriously felt like home, I could have stayed there for a few more days and just hung out with the cool staff and guests and enjoyed the amazing Budapest culture. But seriously, this place is great

This hostel has a really homely feel about it. It has a TV with a huge selection of DVDs to pick from which was great to chill out with a few of the other travellers. It is in a very good location and the staff are very friendly. Only downside was pressure from the pub crawl organisers who hang out... More

Besides being very well located, the hostel is extremely cozy! They even have a playstation 3! The staff was very friendly (specially the girl at the reception)! The rooms are big, you can control the intensity of the light, the beds are good and the bathrooms are very clean! Really easy to spend time inside the hostel!

We booked four beds in an 8-bed room, with a shared bath, and it was an overall positive and pleasant experience. Everything was very clean and the other people there were very nice and exceptionally social. The hostel itself is quite small, which is nice. The possibility to borrow a lock and a towel at no charge was very convenient.... More

This hostel is great! It was very clean, the price was right, and the bathroom, kitchen and lounge room were big and clean and felt like the one you might have at home. The hostel is well located too, with a metro station close by and the tram stopping right out the front. I recommend going on the pub tour... More

Great central hostel, stayed in a 10 bed dorm for a good price. Hostel was clean staff were really friendly and helpful. The hostel run pub crawl is one pub crawl I would recommend went to some really interesting bars and clubs instead or the standard stuff. Hostel has free kitchen and computers which are always helpful. Long story short... More
