The hostel was located in one of the main streets of Budapest. It was ok, but the showers were not the best. They also offered complimentary breakfast and free wifi. They should buy a dryer because the wet clothes were hang up in the bathroom and make the floor soaked and muddy. The rooms were fine but some mattresses were... More

The hostel itself may not have been the cleanist and the rooms were quite average and one toilet and shower for the girls and one for the boys. There were some repairs in the hostel that needed doing so might not have been the best value but it was run by great people and you were never short of information... More

We booked our beds (in an 8 bed dorm) 3 months in advance and payed the standard 10% fee. When we arrived after 5 hours of traveling with our backpacks, they simply told us that there were no beds available.

They are helpful in telling you where to go in the city, where to party, where to eat, etc, and if you don't go out at night, you'll have nice conversations, games and fun with... More

After seeing an appealing leaflet advertising Hostel California - "great location" "cheap prices" "helpful and friendly staff" I personally don't believe in false advertising. The only true part about the leaflet was the cheap price, other than that I have nothing but negative comments. The place was more of a squat that a hostel, buried in what looked like a... More

I stayed in California for two nights and enjoed my experience here. The staff was very nice and helpful and let me use their computer as I forgot charger for my laptop. They serve small breakfast every morning: bread & jam, fruits and tea. Any other things were very good. I also very like small ferret who lives in the... More
