Reviews of Oleander Hostel

24 July 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great location and helpful staff

Disliked: One shower for nearly 26 people is not really ideal, especially when the boiler stops working after 4 showers! That means there is tough competition for the it. Also, there were no activities organised for the guests, which is generally a help for those who are completely new to a city.

Liked: Good location the the staff were helpful but unavailable sometimes. There are lockers available for free that are large enough to fit packages and small backpacks.

Disliked: The hostel is quite small (3 rooms i think) with only 1 toilet and 1 shower to share between all 3 rooms. Luckily they were not busy when I stayed but I can see how this will be an annoyance if all rooms are fully booked and everyone must wait for the 1 shower. Also, there is no TV and one computer to share for everyone. There is an internet cafe right next door so that's not too bad. This is not a party hostel and you'll be lucky if you meet people but that just means you have to make a bit of effort and make friends during different city tours.

Liked: Extremely nice and friendly staff...really helped us decide what to do and where to go. A very family, cozy feel...and free coffee always helps :)

Disliked: Nothing! There were some shower restrictions due to hot water limitations but it was not a bother!

Liked: This hostel is one of the best I've ever stayed in, for a number of reasons. First, the staff went above and beyond to make me and all the other guests feel comfortable getting around, knowledgeable about Budapest, and aware of the coolest places to go. Second, it was always clean and warm. Last, just stay here. It's awesome.

Liked: Is cheap, clean and quiet.You have big lockers in the room and the beds are very good. The metro is a 2 minutes walking but you can go by foot in 5 min to the center. I will repeat again if I go to Budapest.

Liked: Good location, however quite poor in all other respects. The hostel is fine if you intend to spend no time there other than to sleep, but if you're looking for fun, sociable evenings this is not the place, as you can't drink from 9, must be quiet from 10 and the common room is closed from 11. Staff quite good, but not there most of the time

20 June 2010 Elizabeth would recommend this property

Liked: Great locatio, lovely staff. Felt llike a relaxed 'flat' atmosphere with communal kitchen and living area. Only bad is that th cooker didn't work, so didn't really have full kitchen facilities as advertised, just had one hob.

Disliked: Elizabeth left no negative feedback.

Liked: Very friendly and helpful staff. Good atmosphere and common room was cozy.Good location, directly in the center of city and it is easy to navigate around from here to everywhere.Hostellin henkilökunta on mukavaa ja auttavaista. Hyvä ilmapiiri ja yhteistila on mukava. Hyvällä paikalla keskustan tuntumassa ja helposti liikuttavissa kaikkialle kaupunkiin.

02 June 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This hostel was super clean and the staff exceptionally helpful. Great atmosphere, easy to enjoy the space. Not a party hostel either so nice if you don't want to have people partying into the wee hours when you have to get up early for a train or bus or just want to check out Budapest, but can still be a great place to meet people!
