This is more an apartment/loft instead of a hostel, which is great for a group of people traveling. As you have the space to yourself. The place is clean and fairly comfortable. The hosts give you a lot a of great advice about the city and are very helpful if you need to book a car to the airport or train station. However it's very hard to find as there is no sign. We found it by looking at the address names on the side of the doorways. So I would suggest the owners invest in some sort of sign.
Perfectly adequate, but area seemed a bit sketchy, told we had to triple lock to be safe.
Spiral staircase was wobbly, so quite dangerous.
Although an apartment for ourselves was nice and they pointed out where to go, we didn't need as a member of our group had gone before.
Also not that cheap compared to other places we stayed.
When checking in we were made to wait by someone who didn't speak English in the open courtyard
Very Good position in the city center, but Cconditions of the room not good:
Not well clean
Broken steps to go on the bed room (we had to pay much attention)
Faulty plug-in for current
Water leakage from shower and wc.
S ubytováním jsme byli spokojeni, perfektně zařízená kuchyň - 2x koupelna s WC, čisto, hodně blízko ke Kateřinskému mostu. - Výborná poloha. Nedá se parkovat, musí se přejet na parkoviště.
In fact, the hostel is good and nice with the fairy cheap room rate. However, there are bars and pub nearby, big noise make us feel uncomfortable. Besides that, there is no reception downstairs, all we can do is to dial or send emails to reception if any problem. The big advantage is the location, the hostel is close to metro and shopping area.
Lo mejor es que está muy bien situado y que te dan mucha información útil y práctica. Tuvimos un problema con el agua caliente y lo solucionaron rápidamente. Si buscáis un apartamento con todo lo necesario, bien situado y a buen precio, este es el sitio.

geweldige plek in centrum en bezienswaardigheden.
de plek was geweldig, dicht bij winkelstraat en heel veel bezienswaardigheden. mooi groot appartement met bijna alles wat je nodig hebt, al was het niet het appartement dat we op de foto's hadden gezien. er was 1 klein minpuntje, nl de verwarming deed het niet echt goed. ze waren alleen maar een beetje lauw. dat was jammer want de temperaturen waren onder het vriespunt toen wij er waren.
Séjour à très bon rapport prix/qualité à Budapest.
Appartement très bien situé, et très calme ; services (airport shuttle, accueil, formalités de départ) très ponctuels et efficaces.

Nice apartment located in the heart of Budapest
This was the perfect apartment for our group of 5 traveling to Budapest to celebrate New Year's Eve. The location was perfect with walking distance to many places and also great connections like metro and tram just around the corner. In the beginning the apartment was very cold, so we came from freezing outside to a freezing inside. Luckily the heaters slowly heated the whole apartment up, so in some days we had a nice temperature inside. A minus was the weak shower beam and the weak wifi that could disappear from time to time. We also had to remind them to give us some soap to the bathroom and more toilet paper (we had only 1 roll for 5 days). The kitchen was quite poorly equipped with no scissors and only two food knifes, so for the price we payed we were expecting sligthly more. Despite all that, we are really satisfied with our pick of hostel and would probably stay there again next time!
Il proprietario ci ha dato una camera da 6, nonostante fossimo solo in 2, perchè aveva la disponibilità, sensa chiederci nulla in più. Inoltre ci ha aspettato che parcheggiassimo l'auto e portassimo i bagagli per darci tante di quelle informazioni che la metà sono andate perse.
