Hostelworld says

We like the very central location of Wombats City Hostel Budapest, just a block from Andrássy utca and five minutes from a metro station serving three lines going to Buda, the airport stop and the three main train stations. This friendly, clean hostel opened in 2012 in a former hotel. It features spacious ensuite rooms with free air conditioning, free welcome drinks for guests and a budget-friendly all-you-can-eat breakfast with yoghurt, fruit and good bread.

Property Description

Our Wombat's City Hostel is a former four-star hotel that we have transformed into Budapest's favourite hostel, thanks to our signature style.
What remains is ample space for 26 private rooms and 86 dormitories, as well as generous common areas. You will find yourself in the largest hostel in the city and the one with the best location.

Wombat's City Hostel Budapest is located in the centre on Kiraly Street next to the old Jewish quarter, with the bustling streets, ruin pubs and fancy restaurants, this area is one of the most famous in the whole city.

The State Opera House, the Synagogue, Heroes' Square, the Academy of Music, the Chain Bridge, Liszt-Ferenc Square (with its elegant cafés and restaurants) as well as access to the most important shopping streets are easily accessible on foot. The picturesque Old Town and Andrassy Boulevard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and affectionately known as the Champs Elysées of Budapest, are also just around the corner.

At night, our neighbourhood becomes a hive of partying. The ruin pub on Kazinscy Utca offers curious travellers a taste of these unique and artistic drinking establishments.
Just a five-minute walk away is the Deák Ferenc tér metro station, which connects three metro lines and several bus and tram lines.
From here you can also easily reach the major train stations Keleti and Nyugati, the Nepliget bus terminal and the airport.

Included in the price:
- Bed linen.
- WiFi.
- Our own Wombat's city maps.
- The womBAR for endless parties and WomDollar discount on your drinks (currently limited operations).
- A guest kitchen open to all who want to satisfy their own culinary needs.
- 24/7 reception.
- Maximum security locker as access is via smart cards for the front door as well as for the rooms and lockers.
- Rental items (umbrellas, hairdryers, adaptors: everything an enthusiastic traveller might need).
- Coin-operated laundry facilities (washing and drying), so you can revitalise your clothes!

Our famous Tasty Brekkie buffet guarantees you enough energy for your exciting day in Budapest. You can buy breakfast for an affordable price at the reception.

i stayed in the 8 person mixed dorm, there was only one bathroom which made it kind of annoying if you need it when someone is in there forever. the beds were comfortable-the air conditioning wasn't strong and the room got hot at night. also outside the hostel is very lively which is good until you need to fall asleep. the room was big and had big lockers you could open with your door key card. the common space was really big and nice.

Great hostel. Location is great and staff super friendly and helpful. The only problems were: - the AC, which didn‘t seem to work. Even though we put it on it‘s coldest setting in the room, it was incredibly warm. - the laundry machine and especially the dryer: The timer on dryer always went down to 2 minutes and then reset to 15 minutes. After watching it doing that for around 2 hours we decided to just take our laundry, which at this point was not much more dry than before we put it in. - The atmosphere

Wombat's City Hostel Budapest says

Creo que lo que realmente nos hace únicos es que nuestro edificio era un importante hotel de la ciudad antes de pasar a formar parte de la cadena Wombats, por lo que viene con algunas características que no se suelen encontrar en un albergue, como las habitaciones grandes, aire acondicionado, baños privados (incluso con secadores de pelo) y amplísimas zonas comunes. Es el albergue más grande de la ciudad, lo que garantiza que nunca te aburrirás. Además, está a cargo de un equipo muy muy animado. Nos encontramos a sólo una calle de la Avenida Andrassy (la versión de Budapest de los Campos Elíseos), la catedral principal de Budapest está a la vuelta de la esquina y el centro histórico está a diez minutos andando. También caminando, pero en la otra dirección, se llega a la zona de marcha nocturna. Personalmente recomiendo ir al Corvintetö, un club con una magnífica terraza en la azotea no muy lejos del albergue. La tienda Langos, justo al lado de la entrada, es ridículamente buena (y barata también). La mayoría de nuestros huéspedes son veinteañeros. Budapest ofrece una excelente vida nocturna y es una ciudad muy barata, lo que suele atraer a mucha gente que busca pasarlo bien.
