One of the best hostels I've been to in years. It is the perfect size as it really allows you to get to know people, both other travellers and the staff. The staff also really seem to enjoy chatting with the guests and are always available to help plan your next adventures.. The hostel itself is just like home and I'm sure that's the reason that everyone stays so long. Thanks big fish!

In general, a very good hostel! Staff were helpful, especially a girl that stays during the day - forgot her name :( She's lovely and makes us feel very comfortable. Facilities were nice and clean, also very stylish! The only thing that would make me think twice about staying there again would be the location. The tube station is some blocks away and everything around the hostel is closed on Sundays. I struggled a lot to find a place to have lunch :P

It was an ok hostel... made friends which made it amazing but night events were VERY disorganized and the staff only somewhat helped... would go to a different hostel next time in budapest but only because we were looking for a party hostel, not just a place to sleep. If you're just looking for a cheap, clean bed then this is the place for you.

Like a home away from home. Fun staff, very clean, comfy beds, LOTS of cool character. Many planned activities (partying if you want, but you can just hang out if you don't want). No free breakfast, but the kitchen is great- just buy a couple things and make it. Nice location too- a tram right outside and the metro not too far away. Budapest is pretty walkable too. Really nice dorms with your own light, HUGE lockers. One of the best hostels I've ever been to! Book and don't regret!

Too many "excellent" might make you think it is a fake, but i swear it is a really good hostel. My friends and I shared a mixed dorm for 8 people and it was very clean and comfortable, the bathroom was always clean and the staff is superfiendly and easygoing! They also provide you with lots of information about the city, what to do and what to visit. Moreover, the hostel organizes different activities such as pub crawl and Hungarian dinner parties.

Simply the best hostel I've ever stayed at. Facilities are great: solid wood bunks (each bed has a shelf, reading light and PowerPoint), showers can be likened to that of home (be careful with the bathrooms behind reception, they have trouble keeping a constant temperature), the kitchen is amazingly equipped and the living room is great to chill. What makes the vibe is the awesome staff and the relaxed atmosphere. This place is like home, stop reading reviews and book now!
