This is hands down the best hostel I've stayed at in Europe. I have stayed there multiple times and every experience is just as wonderful as the last. The staff are friendly and wonderful and a great time is had by all. I recommend it to everyone I know who is going through Budapest.

I had the best time staying at Vitae. The staff are all super friendly and organise amazing events every night. Originally I had only booked for five nights and ended up extending my stay... Not once but twice! This hostel is great for solo travellers who want to meet others, go out at night to experience the best of Budapest's... More

My time here has been amazing. Couldn't ask for more from such helpful, friendly and laid-back staff. The fact I extended my trip and didn't show up for my flight to Barcelona says it all! As a walk in, I didn't know what to expect, but even as a party hostel, they offer plenty to do so you can make... More

Latin lesson: Seize the Night Life. This is the one party hostel to be at in Budapest. The staff is super friendly and laid back. There's definitely more of a community feel here. They have a communal dinner every night home-made by one of the staff. Everyone is super informative about all the sites but they are ready to party... More

But the place does have a contiki tour vibe and if you dont drink then you wont... More

Really, really good hostel! I had an absolutely wild time, there are parties happening every night with awesome people (and all of the places are within walking distance), but you can also chill out during the day if you want. The staff were a lot of fun, and really helpful, fun people. It actually didn't even seem like they were... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
If you are just looking for a bed and nothing else...easy, there are thousands elsewhere in the city.If you want something more from a hostel, from the people who work and live there, if you want a community, an experience, and an atmosphere bursting with creativity, excitement and fun... welcome to Vitae, welcome to real hostel life.At the bottom of this page you can get a taste of some upcoming events in the city. We deal in all realms of nightlife here in Budapest so get ready to get involved because there's always a lot happening.As part of the Budapest Party Hostels Brand we are the least wild of the three, we still go out every night drinking, but also offer you a range of different options, and have a great environment with chill areas if you want to stay in too. We offer clean,. bright spacious rooms, with hard to beat security and the real difference, attentive and caring staff who actually take an interest in all parts of your stay in Budapest.60% of our total floor space is sociable space so that there is a ton of room for you to chill, or play games, meet people or watch dvds. We have a large modern kitchen, for you to cook for yourself or for us to cook for you, as we have in house cook-ups almost every night for just the cost of the ingredients.We know that Budapest is not just about tours, castles and churches which is why we organise something every night with a group program, but we also can suggest other cultural or party ideas for you as we like to keep ourselves with the finger on the pulse of what is going on in the city. ... more   less
