Pros: towel included, beautiful building, and in a fantastic location Cons: Unfortunately the hostel was not very clean. We found a dirty mug behind the curtain and the dorms clearly weren’t thoroughly cleaned. The bathroom was unsanitary, loud, and stunk. It was in desperate need of a deep clean and people were leaving out used floss which was disgusting and meant things weren’t cleaned. Air conditioning was not very effective, when we asked the staff if we could turn on the fans they said no.

Amazing stay! The location is just perfect. The room had a direct view of the Parisi Hotel. The most spacious hostel room I have ever seen, there was a whole seating area and a makeup desk. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the staff was extremely helpful. Also, there is a grocery store right underneath!

Hostelworld says

Maverick Hostel and Ensuites is located in a beautiful historic building in central Budapest, within walking distance of the city?s most popular sights and best bars. They offer free coffee and Wi-Fi and often host free tastings of Hungarian wine and p?linka. Hostelworld visitors have said they?d definitely recommend this hostel to friends because the experience is ?like staying in your own apartment?. We like that there?s an elevator and a kitchen on each floor.
