Liked: The Mandala Hostel is a great place to stay in Budapest! It is so cosy and you feel homely from the first moment. From the hostel you can reach all main sight-seeing-points of the city by walk.The staff is very friendly and helps you with every problem!! They showed me on a map an impressive trip with the most beatiful places in town. Next time I am in Budapest, I will definitvely stay again in Mandala Hostel!!!

Liked: relaxed place with only a few rules, andd yet very everyone behaved within reason and with care and consideration for his or her fellow travelers.The staff has great commitment towards engaging in conversation with the visitors, and they are very friendly and helpful when it commes to guiding you on your travels arround the city.

Disliked: The hostel only has two receptionists, and as they are a couple, you can at sometimes find the hostel completely without management to consult in case of a quiry or doubt concerning the stay.

Liked: That was avesome! The staff was pretty cool and helpful! The whole hostel was more than homie, and has a cool interior design. The city was beautiful too. The hostel was clean and it's really in the center. Cool people are stayed there, I met a lot of interesting people all around the world. We was at a concert invited by the hostel owners and they gave me a map and showed all the interesting and beautiful things at the city. I just tell everybody: this is one of the best hostel I have ever stayed.

Liked: Its a very nice place although i did feel the staff were a little unwilling to help at times. Plus there are 3 people basically living there and one is very unfriendly. He plays poker on his laptop all day and night which is rather disturbing when trying to sleep.

Liked: Awesome awesome place. Down to earth staff that was very helpful in getting us oriented with the layout and sights to see in Budapest. It felt very much like a home with hip decorations, a take-a-book-leave-a-book cupboard, free internet access and wonderful bathroom facilities. I've been to more than 30 hostels in my life and this was my favorite.

Liked: Absolutely fantastic hostel.I spent 3 weeks travelling around europe, using only hostels, and this one was easily my favourite. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, the hostel had a great relaxing and friendly atmosphere, our beds were really comfortable. There was a guitar lying around the the common area, and free board games. That with free internet, a kitchen, a great shower, and amazing value for money made this the best hostel I've been to!

Liked: Very, very, very laid back and easy going hostel. It almost feels as if you are staying at a friend's house. However, I found that the owners were either always asleep, or not there at all. This didn't bother me, but if it doesn't sound like something you'd like, then I suggest you pick another hostel. But, if you are a self-described hippie - then this is the place for you.
