Great location for a nice price. It is located on paralel street with ruin bars and 5 minute walk from metro and bus stop. I stayed at mix room with 8 or 10 beds. It was quite clean and spacious room. Reception is very friendly.

The room was private for each bunk bed with a curtain for privacy. The showers and bathrooms were clean. There were outlets next to the bed which was helpful. You do not have to return or put your own sheets on the bed so that was a little worrisome. The lockers were very large and spacious which was nice for storing your stuff. The lockers came with provided keys with your room key. I would recommend bringing earplugs because of loud snorers along with some noise coming from outside. Wifi did not work well in the room (aka Instagram took a while to load if you know what I mean) and the doors were overall pretty squeaky. The people at the reception were very kind and remembered faces. The hostel also provided many options of things to see around Budapest and setting up vouchers for different activities. I felt safe and they provide an airport shuttle if you pay for it. The location was nice. If I come back to Budapest, I would stay here. People of many different ages stayed here as well.

I booked a bed in a mixed dorm. The bed I got was the lower berth in a 2-bed bunk with separations from the nearby bunks. So basically it's like having your own shared room, not the usual 20 people in a room you often see. Loved that. The location is very good with easy access to metros and buses. The neighbourhood is littered with a lot of good food options as well. Or if you choose beer/wine, there are a number of bars quite close-by (3 -4 min walking) as well. The place is also quite close to Keleti, the main railway station. The place has a lift and is quite clean, especially the bathroom. The WiFi works just fine in the rooms. The reception is open 24 hours so that's also a plus. Overall a great option if you're in Budapest.

Good value for the price. Nice staff and breakfast. Rooms are basic but clean .

I don't like hostels but if you arrive late to the city and just need a bed then I think it's a good place and well worth the cheap price. They got free lockers next to the beds so it's more secure than other type of hostels.
