I have really enjoyed my stay in Mandarin Hostel. It was very nice, Staff was helpfull and beds were really comfortable, as for this kind of money. I really recommend this hostel for people who really value quality for money. I think I could not find anything better for this price.

A good hostel, good cost benefit. It's cheap and close to the subway. I just thought the small bathrooms and landing dirty. In more organized, no luxury, but enough for the price I paid. Would recommend.

Reception not open 24h. We had a problem about the bedclothes, our roomates took ours thinking there were from them because cleaning lady took them off and we couldn't find new ones because it was midnight and reception was closed, and we had to sleep without bedclothes, and the room was very dirty, even with some towels from previous hosts...

Internet does not work, receptionist doesn't care about his clients. He is an old man who owns the place and when I ask him about how to log onto the internet, he told me its not his problem. Bed sheets are not clean!!!!! There were also roaches in our pillows!!!

the rooms are really small and not comfortable beds. if we opend the window it smells really poor because they smoked in front of our window and in the patio!! we wait really long time til them let us in the hostel...

The value for the money was really good. It's a place only for sleeping and that´s it, although it has a fun ping pong table. There are really few toilets per floor and the doors doesn't lock properly and what's even worse, there is no toilet paper.

The hostel was fine. Not the best, but it was really cheap so finally it was much better than expected. We specially enjoyed the common room.

Cheap and cheerful, good showers, comfy beds, nice common room. Staff were a bit grumpy, but helpful enough. Only big problem was the location, really bad part of town, but close to subway station! Also, make sure you check the small print about taxes/fees as we had to pay extra for our beds compared to the Hostelworld price!

Normal hostel after paying only 7€/night. It's not the Hilton, but if you want to expend a cheap holiday on Budapest i's quiet nice.

Unfortunately we had fleas in our room and also in the other room we had to move. One guy was seriously bitten by them. The staff reacted quickly but it seemed thy are used to have fleas there but i am not sure about that so it is my personal assumption.
