Hostelworld says:

Grandio Party Hostel is located in central Budapest near the metro and is ideal for those looking to meet their fellow travellers. The friendly staff of this lively hostel are happy to share their knowledge of the city and host nightly parties, pub crawls, boat cruises and more. We've noticed that many of our guests stay here more than once. We like their spacious beer garden and the pop-art murals done by local artists.

Property Information:

You can sleep when you're dead so DON'T expect to get any here.

Grandio is one of the only true party places on this earth that welcomes alcoholics, lost souls and arty people with talent but no direction and audiences. It’s a living, breathing creature that is constantly evolving – the place with a crazy cult following.

Head for our onsite bar, or get beer sold by our staff, or drink strawpedoes for breakfast..... or the ‘get f*cked bucket’... these are all ways in which we fuel our thirsty and party-hardy guests (and staff).

When the bar is shut, we move to the late room, the den of noise and naughtiness, with a sex bed depending on how adventurous you are.

Every night our staff take you out on different activities in the city. These range from backpackers’ fancy dress parties to pub crawls to live music nights to karaoke nights, which take you to our personal favourite (plus some of the cheapest) bars in the city. If you feel like doing something a little different, never fear, as our staff have their finger on the pulse of the city's nightlife and are able to recommend differently nightly activities depending on your tastes.

We have a live music venue in the basement which has different acts on every night, providing for all different tastes in music. We have a band called The Grandio Journals, which changes members every week when we practice in the open mic night, and we welcome all talent to perform here.
Every Sunday we showcase the talent we play host to with our own open-mic night in which we use our own instruments, including a plethora of guitars, a drum kit, piano, violin, piano accordions, plus more as well as our very own sound technician!

The staff have all been handpicked, which might seem a bit wild when they are walking around dressed up in dressing gowns with a beer in one hand, but this is the Grandio uniform – wear whatever makes you feel comfortable, or that we got from the euro store that day.

If you think you can challenge us, we'll probably rise to it, if not, we'll respect you for trying!

The place itself is as wild as our staff and guests and has been decorated by street artists from around the world. So the arty amongst you might appreciate the fact that all of our rooms, the outside and insides of everything, are decorated by the best street artists of Budapest, and have been added to by global artists who liked what they saw and wanted to add to it.

Our hostel houses a games room with table football and ping pong, the bar, a secret restaurant (which we could tell you about, but we'd have to kill you) and a mix of rooms (some ensuite, with varying numbers of beds, and if you're lucky, a loo with a view).

If you’re not too hungover during the day, we can organise daytime activities for you. We can organise historical and cultural tours as well as fun activities such as paintballing, beer biking, quad biking and many more.

As well as that, we are in a great location, especially if you like drinking, as we are in the heart of the bar district. The only rules we have are about respecting our guests and neighbours, and other than that we want you to have a wild time, because we will be first!

Please note, like the name says, this IS a party hostel, we go out every night, some people drink in the daytime, there is a bar, sometimes sex, and a lot of fun. If you don't like these things, please try a calmer hostel, like Carpe Noctem Vitae.

Please note: Regrettably, due to previous experience, we can no longer accept bookings for people over 36. If you have booked and are outside this age, please contact us and we will help find you alternative accommodation.

  • Grandio Party Hostel says

    In my opinion, Hostelworld guests come to Grandio for the party. We offer a wild community for party animals from across the globe to come and experience a party animal's playground. The hostel is in a 170-year-old, heritage-listed building with one of the city's most popular garden bars located in the courtyard. There is a late-night room, a sex bed, a jungle in the courtyard and an underground music venue in the basement as well as a friendly group of staff who take you out every night to party with you.
    We're located in the seventh district of Pest, which is the central bar district and all the city's most famous bars and clubs are only a short walk away. If guests want to see the sights during the day the knowledgeable staff who live in the city can also recommend a vast array of tours/activities for guest to do during the day.
    If you want to get a good night's sleep then our hostel is not for you but if you want to go out every night and see what the city has to offer then come and stay! There is also an age limit at Grandio - you must be between 18 and 36 years to stay at the hostel.

    This is by far the craziest hostel I have been to! The staff was crazy on partying and made sure we would get wasted as well! So worth it, great way to experience Budapest's nightlife.
