Fantastic Hostel, truly one of the best i have stayed at. The staff (particularly Andrea) are so helpful and friendly and really help to ensure that you get the best out of Budapest whatever your interests. Great Location, easy access for the town and the airport. Rooms are so cosy and unique, great atmosphere.

Couldn't complain even if I wanted to... The staff was very kind and helpful, pointed us to the right places that we should visit, and even made a traditional Hungarian dish that was simple, but amazingly delicious. The price and the location of the hostel is optimal... so even if at the price of only 10 euros a night, for the experience we had, we would've had to pay between 25-35 euros elsewhere in W. Europe... And I highly recommend trying the schnapps.

When I first arrived there i thought i had made a bad choice, the entrance is a bit creepy and so are the stairs to the floors. But when I got inside the hostel, WOW, it is amazing. The reception has an amazing atmosphere and when i saw the bedroom, i was amused, lovely place. I would recommend for a couple to go there, it is such a good atmosphere. It is also well located in front of the national museum of Hungary. A bit hard to find the entrance, so keep the number in mind! Enjoy it!

Absolutely wonderful stay! We rented the apartment, which was huge and really comfortable. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff were! From great food recommendations to giving us a good overview of the city and highlights, they were simply amazing! I would not consider staying any where else in Budapest.

The best hostel ever! Not exaggerating at all. The staff was very welcoming and made our stay a good one. They told us what we needed to know about Budapest and all the cheap and good food places to dine in. I am very impressed. Besides that, the private bedroom was very cosy. Only downside is that the lights were dimmed. Wifi is good too.

I stayed two nights there. It's an old building and the floor makes a bit noise when people walk. Location is good, you can reach to tram/metro easily and to Vaci street and some other important places by walk. Security is good, you have your own set of keys. Laptop and internet in the lobby, a lot of info, some pots/ free tee- coffeee. Best thing was the staff, ANDREA is such a wonderful guy. He explains you what to do/where to go, gives insider tips, and very friendly.

We were staying in one of the appartments. They were very nice, very cosy but the double bed was not comfortable at all. Please change the bed because it kept us from sleeping well at night and we woke up with backaches.

The staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful (They even reserved tickets at the cinema for us). The location is great; everything is within walking distance or can be reached by subway easily. Two of four cooking plates were broken, but everything else worked perfectly fine. Thanks a lot for the great time!
