Great place

Great place. Never thought of considering a hostel as a place for the 2 of us but this place had private rooms with private bathroom with all the facilities and for what we needed it was great. It classes itself as both a hotel and hostel so is a bit unique in that sense. We booked this hotel whilst we were in Budapest as the place we had booked before we came was awful and we only managed 1 night there. We then stayed here for the remaining 3 nights and it definitely saved the holiday. Really good hotel, good facilities, good location and good price. We would definitely stay here again or at another if they open more across Europe.

Great location and cosy room.

The room is cosy and warm with elevator is the best part! The only problem might be have a loving slamming door neighbor(s) Bathroom is the best place, the heat able to keep the showroom dry so you wont feel nasty. Front desk is 24h and very helpful. The public kitchen utility quite complete although we only use the refrigerator and water machine. Highly recommended! Will choose if come back.

Perfect for a solo budget trip!!

This place is a perfect place if you are looking for something convenient, clean, safe, and extremely affordable. The front staff is friendly and professional. The lobby is super clean and has lots of sun from the roof window. I was here in late November, and there was no one using the bathroom/shower in the early morning. This place is located on top of a subway line; one stop from the major airport shuttle bus stop. There is a supermarket right next door. I stayed for three nights under 50 euros. You can’t find anything better than this at this price.

Super recomendo! Ficamos num quarto com banheiro privativo, tudo estava excelente. A localização é incrível, fizemos tudo a pé, do ladinho do New York cafe, market hall e do jewsh quarter. Tem um Mercadinho do lado. Café da manhã muito bom. A vibe do lugar é ótima.

Probably one of the best hostels. The hostel is centrally located, easy to get from airport, near a Lidl, Jewish Quarters, train station, etc. The staff was amazing and the lobby area was beautiful. The hostel has fun activities for guest to participate while staying such as wine night, Bingo, etc. The rooms were cleaned regularly which was nice. The only downside is you may end up with the wrong hostel guest in your room. Unfortunately, our room had a person who came back late every night and got upset when others were getting ready at 7-9am.

Excellent value, especially as breakfast was included. Really nice room (private bathroom for us, window onto central “courtyard”, quiet [might be due to January occupancy]) and good facilities (kitchen, bar, cafe) on the ground floor. Staff were friendly and helpful.
