Hostel is located in the center of the city in a beautiful building. The facilities are extermely clean and the staff is very helpful, they even have monthly offers. Also, I've been impressed with security, you get two keychains, each of them serves as a key to the main gate, as well as hostel gate. You also get a room key and a locker key. There is a Tesco just a minute away from the hostel which is useful to buy cheap groceries if you are planning to use the awesome kitchen.

There is no doubt these rooms are in a great location, only a short walk from the town centre and also ammenities such as tesco. However, maybe because of the time of year we were visiting alot seemed go be broken e.g bedroom lock, tap and oven. As you can imagine the bedroom lock was the most I convenient, as we were in a private room with no locks for our lockers we were very concerned for the safety of our belongings.

Toplocation right at the meeting point of the free walking tours, great new room with computer and big cosmetic mirrors. There was a common clubtour organised by the hostel when i arrived. There was also a nonstop supermarket in the building of the hostel with fresh cheap bread..The room was with shower and sink inside which was comforable. The toilettes were outside the room but only a few steps away which was not a problem. With the price and the toplocation you will receive a great value.r

It's in the nice location. But most the facilities on the introduction doesnt exist ( board game, wii, game room). And for shower facility it's difficult for me to get used to it-- you cant adjust the temperature, and every 30 seconds have to push the button again.. the blanket quality is same as the price here, which in winter you have to consider bring your own sleep bag, i got sick here due to this reason. Sometimes the stuff insist bringing you to some "nice" local shop, kind of annoying

Dear our guest. Thank you for your comment. The tempreture of the hot water can be adjusted by you to hotter if you wish. I guess the guest before you wanted not so hot water. The blankets are all new and great for sleeping. The problem was not the blanket but the heating. The heating system of the whole buildingcomplex was repaired for 4 hours when you were here and for a few hours it was really colder that is why you might get cold. thank you hostelmanager

About "premium" hostel it schould be a joke. It's not really an ensuite, because the toilets are outside the rooms. And there is just one toilet for men, and one toilet for women. If you want to make tee or coffee, so you have to bring your own. There is also no suger. Location is good and easy to find. Breakfast in recommended Cafe Bali is also good.

Dear our guest. Thank you for your comment. After your comment we have made our roomdescription much more transparent and we have cleared the situation concernig toilettes. Our rooms have all a mini private bathroom "private shower and washsink with mirror" inside but the toilettes are not in the room. You have to take a few steps. There are much more toilettes than it is needed so you do not have to wait and of course they are all well mainted by the everyday cleaning. With this design we have reached that the rooms are comfortable and at the same not smelly as the toilettes are outside. We do think that it is better.so . Concerning the sugar and the tea we provide both for free unfortunately when you were here for a day they were run out. it happens On the following day we loaded up but you were no here anymore:)Thank you hostelmanagement

Hello Luis. Thank you for your comment. We have two big kitchens outside in the common area and a minikitchen in our biggest private room. This mini kitchen can make the trip much more confortable if someone just would like to drink a coffe or do not want to walk in pajamas in the commonareas. It is only for the superior 6beds private room. Thank you . Hostelmanagement

Everything was above the standards of a good UK hotel...way above and nothing was too hard for the staff. I shared a room with 3 young Italian guys and they were such a good laugh....really funny chilled and top top guys....The main male receptionist whose name I have forgot was one of the best receptionists ever....the lockers were huge.

Great staff, nice people and willing to help you with anything. The hostel is located in a calm but centric street with bars, cafés, pubs and whatnot nearby. Astoria station is just around the corner, so it's also very well communicated. Rooms with wi-fi, shower, lockers and even a computer! Really affordable, too. If I ever go back to Budapest, I'm staying there. No doubt. :)

The hostel is absolutely great. The people there treated us excellently. I think it is one of the best hostels I have ever been. They have all of these great tours. The place is clean and accesible, non expensive, just in the middle of the city. The staff is fantastic, incredibly helpful.
