a budget choice
There is no air conditioning in the room and the pillow makes me a bit hot. Everytime you go out, you need to leave the key at the reception desk. For the rest service, it is super good.

Great value, close to amenities:)
Great value for money, just round the corner from trendy shops, vintage cafes and happy hour bars. Plenty of things to do around and only a 10 minute walk to the ‘centre’ streets of Budapest. Rooms are standard hostels bunkbeds but the curtains over each side give a little more privacy, good for blocking out noise, if any, too :)

Disappointed
There were 12 beds and one person was only able to shower at a time?? When I first checked in nobody stuck to their bunks and had to move someone’s belongings off the bed I was assigned and reception didn’t do much about it. Additionally the bed creaked ever tiny movement. I was on the ground floor so you could smell smoke constantly and loud music. There was no aircon and the room was so hot it was unbearable. Would not come back. Only positive was the size of the lockers and that each bed had a socket and light.

I loved this hostel, I’ve always heard about how hostels are gross and messy, but not this, the staff are amazing and attentive, the room is pleasant and tidy, I had my own lock to put my things, the bathroom is clean, and everything is close, I could do my activities on foot, the only thing is that is really hot during the day, but I didn’t care because I was going out haha

Highly Recommended
This hostel/hotel is fantastic, and I am happy to recommend it to others visiting Budapest. I booked a private room, although dormitory accommodation is also available. My room was also ensuite. Breakfast is also available at 4 Euros (1200 HUF) per day. The place is clean, but not surgically clean like in a much pricier hotel, making for a more everyday/homely experience. The staff speak excellent English and nothing is too much trouble for them. They allowed me to check in 15-20 minutes early and gave me advice about a walking tour (which I can also highly recommend early on in your stay). Reception is open 24 hours and there you are free to come and go at any time of the day or night. The area is within walking distance of many of the tourist attractions (if you are a keen walker like me), or the metro station is about 10 minutes walk. Bus 100E to/from the Airport stops at the Deak Plaza, approximately 15-20 minutes walk away. The street itself was quiet during the week, but within very easy walking distance of ruin bars and clubs.

Nice hotel/hostel, all staff were friendly and helpful, convenient location, within a short 10mins walking distance to main shopping/bar area. Transport links are very close aswell. My only issue/downside - very minor - on the hostel is that the pillows are quiet flat it feels like a need another one and they could give a towel to put down on the bathroom floor as it can get a bit wet from the shower
