Hostelworld says

Vitae hostel awarded the most popular hostel in Budapest 2019 with the Hoscars. This sociable, party-oriented hostel offers a welcoming atmosphere with staff who are?super helpful and friendly and are on hand to include you in the activities, according to users of Hostelworld. They host various different nightly events and dinners and one traveller told us that guests looking for a quiet night can ?hang back at the hostel and play PlayStation, use the Wi-Fi or relax on the balcony?.

Property Description

Vitae Hostel offers the perfect balance between providing a wide range of amenities and facilities a large hostel offers, but making you feel relaxed in a sociable, fun and family-esque atmosphere. Whether you are traveling alone, or as a part of a group, you'll immediately feel welcomed and want to stay with us longer!
We like to offer a party option every night of the week, but Vitae represents a more relaxed, less intense atmosphere inside the hostel. Clean, spacious, non-smoking and secure dorm rooms are always ready for travelers in need of rest; drunk and sober alike. Our staff, comprised entirely of experienced travelers, have all of the best recommendations and tips to make your stay in the beautiful city of Budapest the unforgettable highlight of your travels.

And why travel, if not to make new friends along the way? Over 60% of Vitae's floor space are dedicated common areas for you to meet & mingle with other guests over a game of cards, drinks, or the cheap family-dinners the staff put on for only the cost of the meal's ingredients. Our modern kitchen is always accessible and if you'd rather eat your meals over a good film or video game session, there's a projector room and a snug to lounge in during all hours of the day. We have entertainment central with a darts board, table football, guitar hero, Playstation 4 and Netfilx with a projector screen and even chess to stop you from getting bored.

Sight seeing and partying don't always have to go hand in hand, but Vitae's all staff always try and present a healthy blend of the two together every day with their knowledge of all things Budapest, historic and contemporary. Whether you're after a romantic evening dinner cruise on the Danube river or a 6am trip to a 24hr bar in the city after a night out, the staff have been in your shoes and will happily point you in the right direction.

It won't take long to notice the ATM, currency exchange, tram stop, bus stop, convenience store, tobacco shop, and 24/7 eateries, and the cheapest bars are all on the same city block as Vitae.

A week with us will include party boats, ruin bar crawls, spa parties, open mic nights, backpacker parties and much more. Of course we are flexible and open to suggestions, so you let us know what you like and we'll see if we can get the group along - and we also know all sorts of cool stuff to do during the day

Please note:

Please check your arrival time carefully, for the sake of our other guests and our neighbors we only accept check ins from 8am until 11pm and we reserve the right to cancel any arrival more than 3 hours late. If there is any problem or delay please email, Instagram, or call, and we'll make sure someone is waiting for you!

Stepping into Vitae is stepping into a community. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. Night activities are just as insane as they are fun. Vibes are hard to match - highly recommend for the social/adventurer traveller who can step out of their comfort zone from time to time lol!! Thanks especially to a lot of the workers for becoming true friends, especially Zoe!! If you're looking for a fun time in Budapest and debating which hostel to choose, there is no reason to hesitate, go to Vitae!!!!

Vitae Hostel says

I'd say that Carpe Noctem Vitae is definitely for travellers who like to go out at night but who also enjoy seeing the city and being a tourist during the day. It's a sociable place and we've got a whole range of night-time programs, inclyding free pub crawls, backpackers' parties and party boats. I really think people like us for our community and the welcoming nature of the hostel. Every night the staff at the hostel cook dinner for their guests and get everyone involved before heading out at night. Since we're a party hostel we cater to travellers aged 18 to 36, solo travellers as well as bigger groups who enjoy a sociable and fun hostel.
