We reached there at midnight and we were attended very nicely and given a wonderful room. It was very clean, specially the toilet and the shower. The location was also 5 mins walk from the bus terminal and other metros. I will highly recommend others to stay in this hostel.

Staff was nice but nothing more. What was the worst, we couldn't get our money back for the last night when we had to come back earlier. They said the manager is on holidays and they can't bother him and without him we couldn't get money... kind of funny, but not nice for us. We get neither english guide nor polish one, altough they were supposed to be there. But the hostel is very clean and nice.

Very comfortable and clean! it is also cheap.!! location is out of the center but very near to bus station. for us,we have to catch a bus early in the morning and arrive at Budapest quite late. So, it is very convenient. However, the hotel is just 5 minutes walk to the metro. It's ok and not that far ! They don't have WIFI and kitchen without stove. So, you cannot cook. Overall, very nice place if you have to catch an early or late bus to other cities at Nepliget bus station.

Very far from anything except the international bus terminal, hence why we booked. Bed was comfortable but the shower completed flooded the whole bathroom. Staff member couldn't speak English and the ones that could offered no tourist info on Budapest. But the hostel is cheap and the beds are clean.

I would highly recommend this hostel!It is good clean and cheap. And the metro is not far and you can easily get to the city center!It has the big breakfast room where you can have tea or coffee. The only problem is the Internet!They have wifi but you can have it only in loby.And only 1 computer (which didn't work when I was there) to get the Internet if you don't have smth like ipad or netbook. Other than that it is great!

Stay for a night here is reallr wirthful for this money. The location is a bit far away from the toursit spots. but there is a tram station just 5 min walk away and there are options to exchange our money also. The security of the parking place is also good

It was a nice and clean hostel, with comfortable beds. I stayed in a room with 8 beds and there was plenty of room for all of us. It was nice having our own bathroom for the room as well. My only complaint was that it took a while to get to the main square- 5 to 8 minute walk to the metro and then 10-12 minutes on the metro. It was also hard to get back to the hostel at night because the metro closes very early.

Hostel was a bit out of the center but had close public transport lines which made it easy, even at night. Staff was friendly but not overly helpful. I would recommend this hostel for people who are looking for a quiet, clean, and decently priced place to stay.

It is what it is, late bus, metro closed, just a walk from Nepliget, big park across the road very quiet. Staff excellent, polite, friendly and helpful. Clean enough, mattresses ok but to replace go for foam, better than springs for multiple people. Shared bathrooms are strange, enforce keys to be left on the inside, people need to lock themselves in. no multiple storys like every other place in the city, it was fine.

Hostel is located close to the bus station so it is perfect for someone arriving late to Budapest or leaving early. I booked 10 people room and got a clean 4 people one for myself so really enjoyed my few hours stay there.

I arrived pretty late at 11pm in Budapest so I booked this place which is 8min walk from the bus station. The reception lady was nice and there's an ATM 1min walk from the hostel. I booked a 6 bed dorm but was sent to a 4 bed one and had no roomie... But I was very tired and had a very good sleep! The bathroom was nice but it is shared by two rooms, located on both sides. So it's a bit wired when I was brushing my teeth and the other door open and there entered a mid-aged man...
