Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Probably one of the best hostels. The hostel is centrally located, easy to get from airport, near a Lidl, Jewish Quarters, train station, etc. The staff was amazing and the lobby area was beautiful. The hostel has fun activities for guest to participate while staying such as wine night, Bingo, etc. The rooms were cleaned regularly which was nice. The only downside is you may end up with the wrong hostel guest in your room. Unfortunately, our room had a person who came back late every night and got upset when others were getting ready at 7-9am.

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.

Shared bathroom booking was good in terms of being cheaper, and it was cleaned by the staff daily, but of course if other guests leave it in a poor state that makes it less pleasant to use, which unfortunately was the case. Hotel staff were very helpful and pleasant.

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.

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
