Reviews of Oleander Hostel

02 June 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Well, I think it can be stated like this:If I wanted to stay in a place where my sheets were folded everynight, I met normal, everyday people and I wanted to fall into every touristic circle, I would stay at a hotel.But I choose to stay at a hostel, and this hostel was everything that it should be: it was located so close to the local market, and the beautiful river but far enough away (2 min) from the quacking tourists. I was able to meet loads of interesting people, some crazy, some fun and some quiet and able to successfully plan solo journeys and outings together. The place was cleaned over and over again (I felt bad for standing on the floor sometimes) and one of the local neighbours stopped by to say that he would like to get some sleep that night. It's cheap like Hungary and the perfect size, not an institution but bigger than mom's place. It is with great pleasure that I say that is exactly what a hostel should be.Thank you!

11 May 2009 Jamie would recommend this property

Liked: This is a great hostel. It is in an excellent location, and keeper of the hostel, Alex, is really good at his job. He was able to tell us everything we needed to know, from what bars are good, to what sights are worth seeing, to helpful tips on how to get around. My one suggestion is that the Hostel could use another shower. Currently only one shower shared between 16 beds (two 8 bed dorms), which causes long line-ups.

10 May 2009

Liked: Very small and cosy place to be in with a pretty good location but if you are concerned about the availability of hot water, you should probably pick somewhere else. There was only one toilet with shower so we had to wait pretty long. Even with the small number of people staying at the hostel, the hot water ran out easily and you had to either bathe in cold water or not.

Liked: Lovely, familiar hostel at the center of budapest. Monuments, interesting building and bars to go out are in walking distance! Staff is realy kind, explaining you (also in english or spanish) where to go, how much to pay... There is a big kitchen in the entrance room where you get free coffee and tea, a tv with dvd-player, free-internet. Around the corner is a 24h-opened-shop and a metrostation.

Liked: The location and price are unbeatable. Sooo cheap and good! Beds were new and enough comfortable to rest your body after a long day sightseeing. Receptionist's advices about what to do and what not to do were very useful. Free tea and coffee was good quality and the 24 hours supermarket around the corner has everything you need for the chipest price.Highly recommended!!
