Good stay in Budapest

The hostel was Ok in general, location was great and theres usually someone in the reception. The room was slightly hot for a summer stay (although fans provided) and the property was relatively quiet for undisturbed sleep. If you have large or number of suitcases, this is not for you as the property is on the top floor and no elevators. However for usual backpackers this should be fine. There is an organised storage box system for each room in the fridge which is nice. The hostel is walkable from Astoria or Kalvin Ter metro stop so you can reach any main sights easily. This is a very characterful hostel which feels cosy. The showers are hot enough and toilets are clean in general. The room I had requires climbing up stairs to the bed as it is placed on the mezzanine floor. It is a nice place with lots of character but if you have lots of luggage or struggle to walk up stairs may be you should consider somewhere else.

Great if you don’t mind the climb up the stairs

Although a great place, it doesn’t offer any facility to get up 3 long flight of stairs. With luggage, it was no fun. Also makes it difficult to keep going out on demand because of the climb up the stairs. But location is fantastic and staff is really good. Note that there is no staff onsite or reception at this location.

A four night break at an apartment here and it was an ideal location for us. A warm welcome from the team after a late flight and close to the centre of the city. Highly reccomend and we'll hopefully be back

The hostel is decorated imaginatively, the staff is extremely helpful, providing anything you request if it is available. Only 2 downsides: 1. It is a very old building with no elevator. If you can't walk 4 flights of stairs, this isn’t the place for you. 2. They do NOT take credit cards, even though all the booking websites say they do.They only accept cash or wire transfer and they only let you know this on the day of check-in. They also list the price in euros instead of the local currency. That being said, they are very relaxed about the payment, giving us ample time to get to a bank and withdrawing the money. All things considered I would stay there again. One last thing: the building entrance can be hard to find. Just look for the Museum of Failure; it's just to the left.
