The location is a little bit far from the center and the transport is not so convenient,but the others are good. And thanks to send the postcards for us.(*^__^*)

Pretty decent price. Party hostel, not the best location. However the showers are decent, with good pressure and temperature. Must stay in a 4 bed room, in the other ones you might not be getting much sleep.

Great atmosphere and cosy hostel! Too bad the location on Buda side and a bit far from city centre is not perfect but is easily reachable by tram.

I have enjoyed staying at this hostel, Miriam and the rest of the staff are very nice and ready to offer their help if anything is needed. They have a little garden at the entrance to the house and the overall feeling is quiet and relaxed, a bit like being in the mountains even though one is quite close to the centre of town.They had a cute little dog who was very playful and a good guardian of the property! I would recommend this hostel very much.

The instructions on how to find the hostel were clear and accurate. We were greeted with a complimentary drink and we were lucky enough to be joined by the hostel owner, who was very welcoming. The hostel was clean and the night staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definately stay here again.

This is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at, and I have stayed in many of them! It has a very nice, homely environment. The staff is extremely friendly and kind and always ready to party with you. They have an awesome place to bbq. I would highly highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Budapest!

Just a little bit out of the city centre so nice and quiet at night, but excellent transport connections to get anywhere you want in Budapest. Really nice bar, serving some very good Hungarian wine and friendly, helpful staff. Bathroom. And room were spotless. Do not be put off by the fact that it is not right in the centre- Budapest is a large city but it is very quick and cheap to get around by tram and metro which is a great experience in itself.

Completely messed up the transfer. Don't relay on this service unless you are prepared to be standing outside the bus station at 11pm. Reception guy was unsympathetic and basically couldn't care less. It's miles away from anything. THERE ARE NO LOCKERS. Didn't stay longer than one night because it was so bad. Find somewhere else.

Owner Comment (Show)
We are sorry for your inconvenience, but it was not our fault that you did not find the transfer at bus station. We have guests arriving there every day, and it was only you who didn´t find the driver, who was waiting and looking for you for 90 minutes! The ´receptionist guy´ could not talk to you at all because you didn´t let him. We have lockers at the reception but you didn´t give us a chance to tell you. Nevertheless we apologize for any inconvenience you suffered.

We now classify our reviewers based on how well travelled they are.
