"In general a very good experience. The staff was very quick to reply and solve an issue with my booking. The hostel isn't the most modern but kept tidy and has some of the most convenient beds I've seen in a hostel- a privacy curtain, sturdy ladder in the middle, convenient shelf both sides of the mattrace to prevent personal belongings from falling off or getting stuck between the frame and the bed. The locker in the room was generous, although the screws on the lock were a bit wobbly and used...

"I don't usually stay in hostels - I was in Budapest for the Champions League final and hotels were crazy prices, so I gave a hostel a shot. It was much more comfortable than I'd imagined, and also extremely cool and quirky in its layout. The communal areas area ample and the bed was comfy. It is well located next to the city park and a nearby metro station. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful too."

Top Budapest Hotel Reviews

IntercityHotel Budapest

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, clean and good breakfast and close to the main railway station"

Mövenpick Hotel Budapest Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spotless and I appreciated being able to check in early — a smooth, stress‑free start to the stay. Hotel great location. The staff were consistently friendly, helpful and professional, creating a warm atmosphere throughout. Breakfast was varied, well stocked and replenished frequently, which made mornings easy and enjoyable. The bar was great and relaxed vibe. The only disappointment was lunch: the burger was greasy, overcooked egg and tasted a bit old, which didn’t match the quality of the rest of the experience. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service, though the lunch/ dinner could use some improvement."

Danubius Hotel Astoria City Center

8/10 Good

"The Hotel cleaning staff, and Guest services were very helpful, and responsive. The pillows were not very fluffy; they could use better quality pillows. Also, the carpet in the room could use a good carpet cleaning. The street view from our room was beautiful. Location was great, close to all City attractions and amenities."
