Comments: A good hostel,very helpful staff. The place had nice big rooms but I had to walk through one dorm to get to mine and I felt like i was invading another room. Overall good but def not a party place, could have been the timing or group, but no one socialising or drinking together, which is something i look for. I was more of a quiet relaxing atmosphere with no music or noise. Also, no kitchen to cook your own food but breakfast was good and local food could be found fairly cheaply.

Comments: I stayed for only 1 night, the staff were trying to tell me all the nice stuffs in Budapest, they were so helpful. if u stay in 6-person dorm, u need to pass through the 8-person dorm, but everything is fine!

Comments: The pillows could do with an update, very uncomfortable indeed. No other real problems though, staff very helpful, even chased up a problem we had with a restaurant they recommended. Very big bedroom, and although shared, bathrooms were great.

Comments: One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Very friendly and helpful staff who genuinely want to see you have agood time. Location is awesome. Good to chill out and/or good to meet people to go out for a rage. Don't stay anywhere else. They even let us try their Hungarian wine while we hung out chatting. Oh, and book on their website so Trav.com doesn't steal a chunk of their takings. Hooray for awesome hostels.

Comments: Great Hostel. Great location. Fantastic security. Loverly old building (not too hot in summer) in a quite side-street. Chila and her staff are fantastic, going out of their way to help their guests. This is a hostel truely interested in helping their guests get the most of of their stay, and not ripping them off. Highly Recommend.

Comments: A very clean and warm hostel. Very close to the subway and easy to find. The owner was a bit curt the first time when I arrived, but she was great the forthcoming days. I recommand this hostel, where everything is in walkable distance.

Comments: Great hostel! The staff are absolutely awesome, will help you out with anything you need. The location is really good too, placed close to the main train station and within walking distance of all the main sites. The free breakfast is great. I will definitely stay here again if I come back to Budapest.

Comments: Although a little hard to find at first this hostel is one of my favorites out of the whole trip. A good location near the center and a metro station, comfortable beds, free internet & breakfast and best of all very accommodating and friendly staff who are flexible and extremely helpful with suggesting day and night activities :D
