Good place to stay while in Budapest. Perfect location for night life as it sits on the edge of the bar and club district. The hostel itself has an onsite bar that shuts down at 2-3am, so bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. Amazing city though for wandering with a couple cans of beer.

Retox was an awesome Hostel to stay at. The pub crawl was awesome and the staff knew a ton about the city which made things so much easier for us first time visitors to Hungary. I would definitely recommend the Hostel to anyone wanting to party it up in Budapest.

One of the more weird hostels I've stayed at in terms of decor, but it was definitely worth the 3 nights. The staff are awesome right off the bat. Having events organized for you at night comes clutch and the staff let you know about cool things to do in the city. Don't come to this hostel is you're not willing to socialize a little, just a heads up. You'll enjoy this hostel if you're a drinker.

Great hostel, nice rooms and such friendly staff. Had an amazing couple of nights here, which we stayed longer!

Let travelers do what they want. It's advertised as a crazy part hostel, and it seemed like anyone who didn't want to party every night was judged. Not by all the staff. The one Australian female staff member was a joy

Retox has probably been the best hostel I've ever stayed at. It's in a great location in the center of town, the staff is awesome (especially Aussie Dave and his pickup lines), and the parties go hard every single night. Very highly recommended.

This is probably the best hostel I have ever stayed at. The staff were out of this world, and always up for a good time. Styles, Jesus, and Dave we miss you already!! I am for sure coming back in the summer months. Make sure you do the Booze Cruise along the Danube, its a night not to be missed! Retox Budapest withdrawal...

Do you suspect that you are a party animal? Are you down to get down? Does costumed karaoke or partying on a boat sound like fun? Do you think you can keep up with the most friendly and outrageous group of maniacs on the hostel circuit? If so you should not hesitate to book a bunk at Retox for at least 3 nights. Don't worry about which three, every night is a big one. You'll end up staying longer so don't plan anything after that you can't afford to cancel. Enjoy!

God awful, by far the worst hostel ive ever stayed in. Bet i inhaled more paint thinner than a 1960s hippie while i slept in a newly painted room. But hey, if your a 15 year old on a binge its probably as good as anything else. Stay away.

Legends... TOWIE Dave, Suisse Jon, Smike, Munch, Willy, Suz, Bullseye and Tits. I think that´s everyone. Keep it up lads! Jesus was just a bogan from Newcastle who still couldn´t remember my name after 5 days.

Great party hostel, loosest time ever. The booze cruise on the Friday night down the Danube was definitely one for the ages. Great staff, everyone is very friendly - this is obviously a party hostel so if you're looking for a good night of sleep then this isn't for you. Super social, definitely recommend!

This is by far the best place in Europe to stay. The staff are out of this world, the parties are endless.... You can't help but get swept away in the Retox madness. Awesome common room for morning after de briefs and a sweet all year round bar for crazy antics. Love it!

By far the best hostel I have ever stayed in. Don't know if you're allowed to swear on these things but all the staff know i think there awesome c***ts. Munch, Jesus, Sunshine and Brooks are the best guys you'll ever meet along with everyone else. Can't explain how much I love this place and if I wasn't going to Prague, we never would've left

I've been travelling for three months and Retox is the best hostel I have stayed at. Munich, Smike, Bullseye, Jesus, Sunshine and the rest of the crew are amazing, another family who take you under there arms and show you the best of Budapest. With activities every night you soon become part of the Retox family and you make so many friends. I'm excited to come back in the summer and see Retox in the sun.

So when I die, and if I go to Heaven, I'm pretty sure it'll be Retox. Never have I experienced such organized chaos. The staff is made up of some of the coolest people I've met (Munch, Bullseye, Jesus) and everyone was on the same page about the amount of epic fun the weekend would bring. Genuinely caring about their guests having a great time - they offer advice for what to do in Budapest and hold awesome events every night. A weekend wasn't nearly long enough. Definitely going back.
