This hostel has a unique charm and an excellent location for exploring Budapest. The apartment we stayed in was very spacious, and the reception staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. While the building is a bit older and the shower was quite small, the overall experience was great considering the price and unbeatable location. I would definitely recommend it to travellers looking for affordable accommodation in the city.

We stayed a few nights during January 2026. This is such a cute place! We loved the spacious living area. It was nice to have a kitchen and a refrigerator too. Very safe place to stay. There are several places to eat and nice grocery stores near by.

Great! Very good price and very good location. It's a basic studio apartment. Easy self-check-in. Only suggestions would be to have separate listings for the two locations, and to accept credit cards rather than cash only.

Lovely quirky accommodation in Central Budapest

Great quirky hostel in the heart of Budapest. Easy to find with great transport links, whilst walking distance to many of the sites. The decor was amazing and made it a unique place to stay. Not an issue for us, but there are quite a lot of steps with no lift so be prepared! Also it's on the main street so quite a bit of traffic noise - but location and quality of accommodation completely offset this.

The one thing that should be stated is that there is not lift and at least 3 flights of very long stairs to climb up.
