It was a hostel that made Budapest unforgettable for me. I would like to thank Mauro for his hospitality. If I had the chance to postpone my flight, I would have liked to spend more time there. Everyone who travels to Budapest should choose this place. It is a perfect hostel in every way. I loved it

The place was clean, comfortable, and had a laid-back, friendly vibe. The beds were surprisingly comfy, with good privacy curtains, and the bathrooms were spotless. What made this place stand out was the atmosphere and the staff, super helpful and kind. It was kind of a last minute trip for me but the staff helped me plan everything and it turned out so much better than I expected! The common area was a great place to meet other travelers - I ended up making two friends from Germany and Brazil, and we even went on a pub crawl together after a wine tasting at the hostel. If you’re looking for a social, welcoming hostel with amazing staff, I 100% recommend this place. I will come back for sure!!

All hostels in Budapest

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location of the hostel, you can reach it by walking from the train station as well. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the air condition was decent - it was cool enough in the room but not too cold for me to get sick. I really appreaciated the sockets were located above each bed. The bathroom in the room was also really appreciated. In general, I think this is one of the best hostels I have ever visited, especially for such decent price! I would definitely love to come back one day!

    We stayed here for a stag do for two nights. What a great place to stay, its very cheap! There was a bar below our rooms that stayed open till 6am with music and food. So after our night out we would come back here to finish the night. It's in a great location bang in the middle for all bars, food and drink. The rooms were fab, the showers were really good for a hostel, powerful. You get a locker in your room too so its very safe. The staff were really helpful.
