Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Location is outside the city centre — The hostel is around 5 km from Váci Street, so you'll need to use public transport – which is close by – to reach central attractions.
  • Mixed ratings on room comfort — Rooms score 7.2, below the overall hostel rating, and some guests have noted basic conditions in the dorms.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:00, which may be inconvenient if you arrive late.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.

“Handy for Kelenföld station, with good facilities and a relaxing garden. A great place to meet other travellers and swap stories. Staff were friendly and supportive, the rooms clean and roomy. They even hosted traditional Hungarian dinners – I'd happily return.”

7.2Verified guest

“I had a great time – the staff were friendly, the atmosphere welcoming. The kitchen and bathroom were big, my room was clean and nice. The garden was my favourite spot to chill and meet people. Convenient for public transport and the city centre, and free parking was a bonus, especially with a motorbike. Sockets next to each bed were a nice touch. No complaints at all.”
