"The property was about what I normally expect from a hostel. It was clean but a little run down. And the room with private bathroom was not actually a private bathroom. And the couple in the adjacent room who shared the semi-private bathroom were terribly messy. They should be more specific that it is not actually a private bathroom. Overall it was a decent stay. The location is great, near everything. With plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. And it is perfect for the airport bus. The...

Park Plaza Budapest

Park Plaza Budapest

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent stay! Great location & fantastic balcony view. Everyone was very nice, did not eat, but the bar was great. The gentleman at reception pulled a slick one though upon checkout: He offered to call me a car and said it was better than a taxi because traffic can be bad at that hour ( it was about 5:45am) & it's a flat rate. Traffic was fine. It was about 10 euros more than the Bolt price, Check Bolt first."
