Liked: The location was excellent- walking distance to most places and really close to metro Very quiet, not a party hostel.

Disliked: No common room to relax and meet people The kitchen wsa locked until at least 8am so it was not possible to make any breakfast before seting off early Only one shower for ladies and that was a push button shower with a regulated temperature so it was impossible to take a cold shower when it was 40degrees for 2 days in a row.

Liked: Very clean, good facilities (bed, lockers etc were very good) - especially for price.

Disliked: Couldn't access kitchen after 10pm - annoying as I had to wake up at 4am and would like a coffee! Also, couldn't access Wi-Fi from the bedroom.

Liked: Very kind staff,very good location, few minutes walk from the main streets of Pest. Different clean WC for male and female, one common clean bathroom next to kitchen where you can have a shower. Free use of the kitchen (coffee and tea included).

Disliked: We were a group of 4 friends (2M and 2F),we booked a room described as "4-bed room", but there was one more bed in our room,and we slept with another guest in our room for one night. We politely complain with the staff, they seemed very sorry for this misunderstanding,but they couldn't do nothing to solve it. Not a terrible mistake, but they should more clear.

Liked: Location was really excellent. The dorm was also really big and spacious which helped with the very hot summer nights. Great that they provided the stickers for us to label our stuff in the refridgerator. Breakfast was suffiicient. Most of the staff were pretty friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Would've been nice if we could've had access to the kitchen 24 hours a day instead of only when the reception was open. I think maybe two showers for the females would've also been great, just like the guys. Nothing too serious but the locks on the bathroom doors need to be better than just those hooks because two of our dormmates had someone yank the door open while they were busy there.

Liked: They gave a basic breakfast which was good, nothing to exciting but enough to keep you going. I liked this place, the only problem was, it was hard to meet people, eveyone seemed to keep to themselves and the rooms were spread out.

Disliked: Vanessa left no negative feedback.
