I had a much better time than expected. Very nice traditional house and the decoration was inspiring. The staff were super helpful and I only wish I had more time to stay in this hostel. I also met some great travellers and, generally, it was so much fun. In fact, this is the best hostel I ever stayed during my long travelling life!!!

The people that ran this hostel are really nice. I met a bunch of really cool people and had so much fun with so many travellers who were coming and going I ended up staying here much longer than I had expected. When I told the staff I would be staying longer they were very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again if I am ever back in Budapest.

Was my second stay here and will come back when I'm again in the city. It's a great spot to stay. Very laid back, good for chilling.

This place is simply the best youth hostel I've ever staid in! A lovely appartement with a nice and well equiped kitchen, big rooms where you can have some privacy due to the arrangement of the place, even in the one for 8 persons. The location is perfect, the most important things to see are in a walking distance and places to go out too. The owners are adorable and really helpfull, whatever you need they will take time to give you tips and help you. The atmosphere is great, it feels a bit like home and the ambiance makes it easy to meet the others guests and eventually go out with them. There's nothing wrong to say, everything was just perfect and I'm looking forward to come back!

the new owners were lovely. very helpful and had a lot of knowledge about the area and Budapest in general. they made you feel welcome and even invited us out to a friend of theirs' concert. i do feel they need to be more professional though. breakfast is included and when i got up to go to the toilet at 6am it was already laid out, the bread going stale, the cheese getting warm. they'd gone out to a bar where a friend of theirs was playing and obviously but the food out when they got home so they didnt have to get up early with a hangover and do it in the morning i wanted my washing done at 9am to have it dry by the next day when i was leaving but the guy wanted to wait until his girlfriend woke up so the machine didnt wake her (after yet another late night out) and when i got back in the afternoon at 4pm it was wet in the machine as it hadn't been hung out (which he said he would do) so when i left the next day there were still a few things that were wet

At first it was very nice, staff who name is worsy(?) is very friendly and so helpful. But, the staffs was changed after I had a day sleep. I was very tired because of night train. Changed staffs are very kind but they dont know anything, so it was very hard to get help from them. I felt so many things are very changed. It is so bad.

Absolutely the best accomodation I had out of 10 I stayed in ,in the last month. I stayed in the Vintage room with the couple next door, it is absolutely amazing and beautiful and they are lovely people, cant do enough for you, even tho they speak little English, communication is no problem, the staff at the main hostel just next door ,have good English,were very friendly and helpful. Location is fantastic everything is handy, walkable or close to metro and other transport. Very special stay, have recommended to friends already, dont consider anywhere else, great value for $$.

The atmosphere of the hostel is great! The rooms are great, you don't even feel you are sharing the same room with 8 people, I think it's the best room I've ever seen in a hostel. The staff is really nice, you feel like you are at home!
