Location and Value for Money”

Entrance door is a big closed dark brown wooden door between two chinese stores. I was surprised when entering the door as it was a dark and spooky space. I got to walk the stairs to 2nd floor where the hostel is located, then it was a whole different look than the entrance. The hostel was clean. I engaged with several staffs there, but Paula was the best. She eagerly responded to all my questions and curiosity about the city.

Note that some private rooms are at a different location to the main hostel, so you lose a bit of the hostel ambiance. However the private rooms are right next to the airport express bus (100E) which runs 24h. Private room was huge, high ceilings, comfortable bed.

Fuimos a ver el piso, habitación compartída aunque nos dijeron era privada, la cama de matrimonio enana y tan solo le dijimos al que nos la enseño que no era lo que esperábamos, nos empezó a hablar mal y nos echo de ahí cerrando la puerta en nuestra cara... Posteriormente nos envíos unos wasaps muy desagradables. No recomiendo ese hostal ( pisos compartidos)

There was a man in the female room”

こちらの女性専用の部屋に2泊しました。部屋は綺麗で、オシャレでホストの女性はとても親切でした。キッチンにも調理器具が揃っていました。場所はとても良かったです。 ただ一つの大きな問題は2泊目の朝に気づいたのですが、同じ部屋に男性が寝ていました。気づいたのが朝だったので大変びっくりしました。女性部屋を選んで(Mixドミトリーよりちょっと高い)こちらに泊まったのに、これは起こってはいけないんじゃないかと思いました。それ以外は良かったです。 I stayed this place for 2night at female's room. The room was very clean and the owner was nice. The location was very good. But there was one problem, the second night I stayed, a man was sleeping in the female room. I realized it in the morning next day.I payed a bit extra to stay female room then It shouldn't happen.

늘 깨끗하게 관리 되며 과하지 않게 친절합니다. 다양한 대중교통 및 도보로 주요 위치들에 가기에도 좋았어요. 흠이라면 엘리베이터가 없다는 점인데 도움이 필요한 순간에 늘 친절히 도와주셨습니다. 그리고 건들면 부서질까 겁나는 것들이 많은데, 부다페스트의 건물들이 전반적으로 낙후 되었다 보니 뭐,, 근데 전 다음에 너무 덥지 않은 때 또 온다면 여기에 묵을 것 같아요! 만족스러웠습니다:)

A wc- n keresztül lehetett bejutnunk a szobába!!vagy egy másik vendég szóbán keresztül. Itt mindenki mindenkin átjár, szoba ajtót nem lehet zárni ha elhagyom az épületet mondván úgysem visz el senki semmit. Este amikor vissza értem a szállásra épp zuhanyzott valaki a szobánkhoz tartozó fürdőben. Zajos a környék éjszaka hajnalba dübörög a busz, villamos... Nem sokat aludtunk.
