Budapest Hostels

Pros: The hostel was beautiful with comfortable beds, nice staff, and superb location. However, the bathrooms needed some cleaning

Cons: the bathrooms. They were nasty

Pros: The location is amazing. Two minutes to get to the famous Szimpla and Karavan. Two metro stations and airport shuttle stop nearby. You can go out any time you want. There's a 24 hour shop next door, so if you're hungry in the middle of the night, you can buy yourself a drink or a snack. Loved the privacy curtain: you can do your thing without bothering neighbours.

Cons: The receptionist could have done better. She just showed me my bed and the door to the showers. How hard is it to do a simple short introduction to the guest? Like "the kitchen and the fridge are on the second floor, if you want to do your laundry, you need too book it beforehand, if you want a lock on your locker or a towel, you can buy it from us with cash". Was it too hard or too long? I had to approach the receptionist a few times for the simplest things like this, which was annoying and a waste of my time. I didn't know about needing to book a time to do laundry, and after receptionist said that all was booked for that day she didn't even offer me to book it for another. Also apparently you cannot use a card to pay for some things, like a lock or a towel. I don't use cash and I don't want to, because we're in the 21st century, and there's probably a commission for withdrawing the money from ATMs. So I just bought both in the shop nearby. The cleaning personnel drags their children everywhere with them, so maybe don't leave your stuff unsupervised. Also when they change the linens, they just throw it on the floor and kick it towards the entrance, which is not a very pleasant sight to see. Do you throw the thing, you put your face on, on the ground even if it's about to be washed? I most certainly don't. Please do something about drosophila in the kitchen and mold in the showers, it's really gross.

Pros: The reception staff were fantastic. Particularly enjoyed the social activities (Hungarian wine tasting and pancake night) the accommodation was modern and felt quite trendy.

Cons: The toilets were not clean, no toilet roll in them for the first 2 days.

Pros: Amazing location, great facilities, good helpful and friendly staff.

Pros: Had a great time at the hostel, excellent Tipps of what to do in the city by lovely Kisanna! The rooms are nice, the beds good. I loved the curtains for some privacy. Situated directly in the city‘s pulse!

Pros: Excellent location and helpful and friendly front desk staff

Cons: Bathroom in my private room had a bad smell :(

Pros: Great location. Near shops, restaurants, public transports. All major attractions are easily reachable. Friendly front desk. Air condition works great. Big toilet, washroom. Lift works and free always. Nice bed, pillows. Plenty of towels. Early check in with no extra cost if room is ready.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location was fantastic but it was way too noisy at night time. You can hear people screaming and shouting even when the window is closed

Pros: The beds were clean and private even in the dormitory. There was a kitchen. The internet was good.

Cons: There was a problem with the window and the towel in the bathroom and nobody fixed it or seemed to be working on it.

Pros: The warm welcome of the personal

Pros: I made a reservation for superior twin room but when we get the room it was not like photo and it is not two-storey. Also we waited 2 hour for just one towel because when we came there was no clean towel.

Pros: They are just the best

Pros: Beds were awesome bottom bunks are a double bed so stretch out and enjoy if you get a bottom one!! : ) Supermarket near by, you need to walk a few blocks to get to the party street. Staff was super nice and total vibe very chill.

Pros: Room has private toilet and shower. Common area has free coffee tea and kitchen equipment.

Cons: They didn’t accept card payment. Only cash.

Pros: The location of hostel is really good. Its close to metro and lot of stores and restaurants around. Very friendly and helpful receptionist girl :)

Pros: Friendly personal

Cons: Extremely loud construction in inner court starting from early morning. Checkout time is 10:00, so its too early

Pros: It's a nice and clean hostel with friendly staff. Moreover, it has good location.

Cons: You have to have own lock, or you can buy it in the hostel for 1000 HUF. But, frankly, staff offers to use their safe for most valuable things or money.

Pros: The location of the hostel is incredible. It's right on a metro line and a tram line, and it was really easy to get to all the things I wanted to see. The staff are great, super helpful and accommodating. I mentioned that my room was not what I expected based on the pictures online, and they upgraded me for the rest of the trip. It was super affordable, had a common kitchen, free wifi, and lockers to store your things. There was also a really cute metro theme to the place, with lines on the wall taking you to each room.

Cons: The staff told me that the hostel has recently undergone renovations, so the largest dorm did not look like what was in the pictures online because it hasn't been renovated yet. The only other thing that was weird was that the showers in the smaller, renovated rooms opened up right into the bedroom, so there was no place to change. For how affordable it was, how helpful and attentive the staff were, and how good the location was, though, I was more than willing to put up with that little quirk.

Pros: Hostel located near to the city center (10 mins on foot) and 2 mins from M1 (metro) station. In the room everythig needed - electricity next to the bed and curtain that makes your stay more private. Great and helpful staff :)

Pros: The hostel is very close to all tourist spot only walking distance. Nice area in center easy to get public transport such as tram and metro. Each bed has cover so you have your own privacy. Staffs are very friendly and helpful, arrived in octogon tram stop very late and could not find the hostel (my phone no internet connection)rang the hostel and the receptionist lady (forgot asked the name) run out to get me from the tram stop. Such a very lovely and helpful lady..appreciate that, tha k you very nice of you. The other staff 'Peter is far too kind as well, he helped me printed out my boarding pass , really appreciate that.."you are legend" !

Cons: The Bathroom needs bath mat to keep the floor dry

Pros: There was free coffee all around the clock and the personnel was very friendly and easygoing. That contributed to a nice atmosphere in the hostel alltogether.

Cons: Only a minor thing: The personal light of my bunk bed was a bit dim for reading in the night.

Pros: The place is not bad for it's value and organized.

Cons: I had an issue with a lady in the receptionist who was rude. Doesn't know how to deal with customer and her manager solved the issue smoothly. I asked to change a room in the first day so they asked me to check out the second day at 11 am and check in again at 2 pm!!

Pros: The people who works there are super helpful and nice. Everything is very Central and located in a great area.

Cons: The toilets and showers could have been a little bit more cleaner and fresher.

Pros: location was awesome they have dinner 3 special days per week and you can buy any drink at the bar and have dinner breakfast was cereal coffee juice and some jam sandwich but staff are super friendly which make the atmosphere to make good friends of other customers I recommend this place

Cons: location was awesome they have dinner 3 special days per week and you can buy any drink at the bar and have dinner breakfast was cereal coffee juice and some jam sandwich but staff are super friendly which make the atmosphere to make good friends of other customers I recommend this place

Pros: everything else

Cons: breakfast is not organic

Pros: good location. Good price. Good service

Cons: A little noisy. A lot of stairs. No AC

Pros: Good place and located in the center. Great to stay for few days!~Welcome staff

Cons: Brakfast included but too many people in so small room. No way to get even a coffee.

Pros: Great location and good quality/price ratio.

Cons: It's located on a main street which too loud

Pros: The people, location and price

Cons: Beds make noice

Pros: Such a unique and lovely hostel. The location was wonderful, the staff was friendly and helpful, and they serve free dinner 3 nights a week! I really enjoyed using the kitchen and that there was a common space for everyone to hang out, it was a good way to make friends and meet new people.

Cons: The free breakfast left more to be desired, but they do have a free coffee machine where you can make assorted drinks.

Pros: Very good breakfast

Cons: The soundproof and airconditioning

Pros: Little out of the main tourist area of Pest, but it's easy to walk into that area and very close to the metro so good way to get around the wide area. Good kitchen. Staff nice. Went out of there way to get us to the airport for our flight. Quiet at night- big plus!

Cons: Pretty basic hostel but has everything you need. Price was a little high when we were staying but this is probably because of Sziget being on at the same time.

Pros: Room was very clean and it is near underground, so you can get to the centre very quickly. Parking place available just near, but quite expensive considering the hostel price.

Pros: Small hostel close to the Train station. Very small but quite cosy. It was quiet even in the middle of the summer

Cons: No common room to share some time. Dinning room very small

Pros: The staff was cooperative. They allowed us to check in before time. Everything was good.

Pros: Cheap Prices. Receptionist was nice. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Big room

Cons: Walls are paper thin so we could hear whenever there was a flush or someone showering and I am guessing they could hear our conversations. Pillows were too soft and very uncomfortable.

Pros: Clean, friendly good communication.

Cons: Trying to get alot of people showered meant some areas of building had no water pressure at all.

Cons: The bed was broken and had to be repaired

Pros: The room was ok.

Cons: Not recommended if you would like a good night sleep. The walls are very thin, there doesn't seem to be a silent policy in this Hostel since people are shouting and talking loud at all hours at night and in the morning. Furthermore the showers on floor 1 did not have hot water while we were there, so everyone went to the second floor (where there was hot water), which resulted in a dirty shower and water flooding everywhere including in the restrooms. The beds were hard and the pillows very thin and uncomfortable.

Pros: Location was good. But only the overall location. The street itself wasn't quite nice. Example: the food distribution for the homeless is located on the beginning of the street.

Cons: The atmosphere is quite strange. The first thing you see, after entering the hostel is a sign which says that you have to pay 200€ if you're to loud. Not necessary in my opinion.

Pros: The staff very nice and helpful. Checked me in earlier than the normal hour.

Cons: Maybe the breakfast could have been a bit better, but for that money, what could you expect?

Pros: The reception guy,

Cons: Card payments not accepted.

Pros: The breakfast time

Pros: Nice location, comfy beds. Quite spacious. They offer breakfast, but only after 10 a.m. The view from the window is not bad, although some might not like the windows overlooking a busy road As an option for one night - tolerable

Cons: There was no bedside lamp, so if you return at night, you have to walk with a flashlight There’s nowhere to put things in the bathroom if you are going to take a shower Nowhere to hang a towel to dry No elevator, so you'd have to carry luggage to the third floor

Pros: Location and hospitality

Cons: A bit noisy, hard to sleep.

Pros: Spacious room

Pros: Location is very good and i met lot of friends in here, very friendly people

Cons: There's no elevator so i took my 22kg luggage to 4th floors own myself it was quite hard

Pros: Location

Cons: .

Pros: Catarina is the perfect accomodation for the travelers. The appartament is clean. The rooms are cosy and comfortable with the view on Italian garden. The stuff is polite and very helpful.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: All.mistress. Everything is very sad. Not even a bad place remained. Smell on the stairs. The hostess did not allow to pay by card, and apparently, still withdrew the payment, although they did not use the services. I don’t really want to go there, do not spoil your mood in such a beautiful city. Especially very inconveniently located

Pros: Location, access to the room, cheap

Cons: Cleanliness

Pros: All went fine for what we needed and stayed only 1 night

Cons: Nothing specific all good for price
