Best hostel I've stayed at in Europe! Amazing staff, every night they made sure we had a blast, and great for solo travellers. If you don't stay at this hostel, you're missing out on the best Budapest experience you could possibly have! Great hostel, great people, great memories. And free tea to help those hangovers! Cheers!

Best hostel I've probably ever stayed at. The staff is great, and it's a really social atmosphere. I almost extended my stay, didn't, and I'm kicking myself. Party boat and party bus were awesome, but it's also a place that you could sleep all day/ night if you wanted to (but why would you you're in Budapest!). If you have a chance to stay here, definitely do.

Could not have been more fun, clean, centrally located, or perfect. Super friendly and helpful staff, very very clean hostel. Not your typical hostel (it's more like a great apartment), but it was a fantastic introduction to Budapest. Great value, the staff plan fun events, and will even make you dinner for a few bucks. Will definitely be back.

By far the best hostel I've stayed at - truly did not want to leave. It was like staying at a friend's house. My only suggestion would be fixing the creaky floors in some spots if possible for light sleepers.

Super cozy and there will never be a dull night as they always have something great planned. And not just going to places that pay for promotion, but instead to the genuine and awesome places. All the people that work there, also live there and are super accommodating. Hospitality is second to none. Joel deserves special recognition from my experience. I got a 24hr virus and he really took care of everything I needed. So much that I think he got sick after I left. Sorry man! See you next time!

Atmosphere is great and staff is very friendly. You get some good tips on what to do in the town and there's always people willing to go out, explore and party. The place itself is very interesting, inside a residential building and it seems like it's just one apartment in the last floor - which makes it feel even more like home. Location is ok, near a station and walkable distance from the city center.

Absolutely best hostel in Europe!!! So friendly and easy to socialise, perfect for both solo or group travellers. Have stayed in hostels around Europe and this was definitely our favourite - very homely with a common room everyone hangs in and organised events both during the day and at night. The Australian guys even let me eat their vegemite which was great because I was starting to have withdrawals after weeks without the stuff. Highly recommended, will definitely be returning.

This is the absolute best hostel I have ever stayed at. It is surely a party hostel, which made our trip extra fun, but it was the staff at the hostel which really made us feel at home and have a great time. We even extended our stay an extra two nights, and the staff were more than happy to rearrange beds for us to stay, and help us with our laundry so we had clean clothes. I will be visiting again soon, and bringing my friends back to stay here!!

After traveling around Europe for a few months, I can easily say that this is one of the best hostels I have had the pleasure of staying at, and has made me want to return to Budapest just to be with these people again.

Definitely one of the best hostels I have stayed in (maybe the best!). It is set up in a way that it is impossible not to meet people. The small comfy common area and nightly events ensure that you will always have friends. The staff simply hang out with you and are there to help you when needed. I left a couple of days ago but I miss the stories, guitar playing and singing! Take care guys and hopefully I will see you in the Summer sometime to tell more stories (tap tap chin!!) Irish Dave :)
