Stefan Barna thinks…

"For this money, there is no better hostel in Budapest. It's easy to find and it's situated in fairly peaceful neighborhood, which we very liked. Some will say it's far from the center of the city,…"

Liked: generally very good value for the money paid

Disliked: for me it was not a problem, but for those who like quiet, the tram line right next to the hostel might be a problem, pretty noisy when windows opened

Liked: As I was traveling by car I needed a hostel outside of the inner city, to have parking, and if possible free of charge. Grand Hostel offers it. There is plenty of space to park on their own parking. Hostel Bookers states that there are no 2-bed private rooms so I booked a 3-bed one. On site the staff was amazed that hostelbookers doesn't offer 2-bed privates and I got one, the price difference wasn't much (3bed vs 2bed) - I could have stayed in the 3-bed room for couple of eurobucks more.

Disliked: Kind of noisy because of the nearby tram rails. With closed windows it's better.

Liked: The staff were so friendly and always willing to help, either with their knowledge of the area or jumping online to find out information. Free towel hire was helpful. Drink on arrival was appreciated. Providing soap in the bathroom was a small commodity but made a big impact!

Disliked: Providing breakfast was great but for the price more/a range of other food would have been good.

Liked: I love the staff. They were incredibly helpful and always willing to share some advice. Without them I don't think I would have done as much as I did in Budapest.

Disliked: It was far from the city center. It took about a 20 minute tram and metro ride to get into the beginning of the city center.

Liked: The greeting from the staff when I arrived was warm and inviting! I felt right at home from then till I left. My room was nice, clean and cool so I slept wonderfully. Also the restroom was clean and convenient. I highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Budapest for a stay. It was quiet up in the rooms and there were many people hanging out in the meeting room and on the patio to visit with. They also had great instructions and directions on what to see and where to eat at during my stay. I enjoyed the place and the city as well! They will take good care of you at the Grand Hostel! Thanks I will be back there for sure!

Liked: This hostel was awesome! the staff (and the owner Peter!) were great fun and always willing to give suggestions or just chat for a while! The location is a bit out of the main area, but totally worth the trip for clean rooms, clean bathrooms, hot showers, free internet, and a patio with a bar! Occasional jam sessions and hanging out outside are some of the highlights! 24 hours reception with great night staff too! WOO!

Liked: The place would pass all tests with flying colours. Ideally located halfway between the city centre and the romantic forests of Buda -mountains, it takes only a short tram- journey (around 20 minutes) either to get in town or out of it. The staff are top notch, and the guests were great fun too. What I liked most? When I said to the owner (Peter, an absolutely top fela) that I was planning to cook a goulash in the garden, he asked me if I could do it for more than one or two persons, as luckily there was an end of season- party at the very same day. I said, ok, no problem. He payed for all the ingredients, I cooked the goulash of my life, the staff helped with the preparations and did the washing up, the Hostel didn't let me pay for my drinks for my remaining days there. Peter even helped me out with the taxi fare to the airport as I was short of currency :)You must try the place to know what I mean. Just look at the design on those pictures !
