Absolutely great hostel - the location is perfect, right beside the Basilica in central Pest, and the rooms are clean, airy and comfortable. The price is great and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. It's also nice and quiet, despite being in a pretty busy area. Would definitely recommend!!

My friend and I got a private room for a fair price! Employees were extremely kind and helpful! Our room was very clean, spacious, and the bathroom was clean too. Location is right next to Deak-Ferenc ter (i hope i spelled that right!), the street with all the bars/clubs, and it's next to the biggest church in Budapest. Would definitely... More

We arrived in Budapest very late at night with a big delay of our flight, the boy at the reception waited for us and arranged very well our pick up at the airport ( 20 euros). The room we had is a very big and nice room, basic but with everything you need when you are on a short term... More

For the prize & location, you can't complain - both are perfect. However, the next door neighbour is a hotel that is being built right now, and well, the banging and drilling can get pretty loud. The builders also didn't turn off the super bright light on their crane, so it lit up half our room at night. Ask first... More

They are right. The construction can be very loud.:-( There will be a super-elegant five star hotel in the next building. And you know they are 'stronger'. They even destroyed the frontage of the building that is part of the National Heritage. They say will rebuild it as the original 19th century building. But it will be from concrete not... More

They are renting several flats directly in the city center. Some are suitable for couples, some are great for group of friends. Flats are in old historic buildings and there is not much renovation done over tha last decades, but I really loved old elevators, stairways and porches. You can even find good old vitrages or iron work in these... More
