We arrived at this very charming place just by coincidence. Though the entrance doesnt appear very inviting, once you enter the hostel you will definitely like it. It is a very cosy place made with a lot of love to details and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Being made up just for double rooms, this hostels has a bit more of a privacy feeling than other hostels do, but that doesn't mean that it gets boring. There is a beautiful common room which serves as reception as well. RECOMMENDABLE!!

The hostel is hard to find as it is in an historical building with no sign outside. This is good for security, you can't tell the hostel is in that building and unless you know the access code you won't be able to enter. There is one apartment which is perfect for couples: big, comfortable, with an alcova-like bed and it was only about 12 euros each a night! The staff is lovely too, always smiling and willing to help and give advice.

Fantastic Hostel. Could not recomend it highly enough. Stayed for two nights in February and the staff were amazingly helpful, room massive, loved the fish in the toilet, and the very warm welcome. Its was toasty & warm inside even when outside was two degrees and because of the balconies I bet its wonderfully cool in summer. Would go back in a flash.

I can absolutely recommend this hostel. The staff is very welcoming and helpful so I felt immediately very comfortable. Also the hostel is very nicely decorated with a lot of art, it looks like a mixture between a museum and a home. This is one of the nicest places I ever stayed at!

This is by far one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. It has a lovely communal area and so much character. The staff are amazing and went out of their way to make us feel at home. We were cooked a tasty homemade Hungarian meal for free and welcome to as much wine as we wanted. The rooms are all fantastically decorated. I can't recommend this place enough! You won't regret staying here.
