Full Moon Budapest in Budapest

The room itself was okay and the location seemed fine at first. However, we were given a room facing a nightclub, something that was never mentioned in advance.

There is extremely loud music every night from 9:00 PM until 5:00 AM. Sleeping was completely impossible. We were traveling as a family, and the constant noise made our stay unbearable.

We complained to the reception, hoping for a solution, but the staff were not helpful. The only response we received was “sorry” and to accept the situation.

This was our first time in Budapest, and unfortunately this hotel ruined the experience. I strongly do not recommend this place to families or anyone who values sleep.

My experience at Full Moon Budapest was extremely disappointing, and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

First, the hotel is very bad, and what made it even worse is that there is a nightclub located in the same building. This was not mentioned anywhere on the booking platform, which prevented us from making an informed decision before choosing the hotel. The noise from the nightclub was unbearable every night from around 8 PM until after dawn.

Second, the reception service was poor. When I received the room key, I was shocked to find that the room was extremely small and not the room type I had originally booked. When I went back to the reception to ask about the issue, the staff took us to several rooms to choose from, and only then we were given the correct room type.

Third, housekeeping starts at 8 AM, and they are extremely noisy with no consideration for guests who are still sleeping. So at night we suffered from the nightclub noise, and in the morning we suffered from the housekeeping noise.

Fourth, the elevator on the first floor is shut down from 8 PM due to the nightclub. When we checked out, the elevator was not working, and we had to carry our luggage down from the fourth floor using the stairs.

Overall, the stay was very uncomfortable due to the constant noise, poor service, and lack of transparency in the hotel description. I strongly advise against booking this hotel.

The staff was nice but it’s located in the same building as a night club, so very noisy, my room was on the street side and I could hear people outside talking loud until are night. I don’t understand who had the wonderful idea to put a night club AND an hotel in the same building? That makes no sens. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Impossible to sleep until 6 AM! There's a massive nightclub right on the first floor! I want my money back!!!!

We stayed at Full Moon Hostel for 9 days — my younger sister, my cousin, and I. What started off as a promising experience turned into a nightmare of poor hygiene and health issues.

✅ The good (because there was some):
• The location is unbeatable. Super central, well connected, and ideal for getting around Budapest.
• We genuinely liked the room at first — functional, comfortable, and well laid out.
• Breakfast was decent, with good variety.
• A big plus: the free access to Morrison’s 2 nightclub, located just downstairs. If you’re young and into nightlife, that part is definitely a win.

❌ What ruined everything:

Unfortunately, the entire stay was overshadowed by a severe cleanliness and hygiene problem.
• Bedbugs. Yes, actual bedbugs.
My cousin and sister were literally eaten alive throughout the stay, covered in bites all over their bodies. This wasn’t just uncomfortable — it was a health hazard. It turned our trip into a constant itch-filled struggle, and it’s completely unacceptable.
• Chaotic and careless cleaning.
On the first day, we had regular bed sheets. After “cleaning” came in, they took the sheets away and never brought new ones, leaving us to sleep with only mattress and pillow covers. Combine that with the bedbugs, and it was one of the worst sleeping situations we’ve ever experienced.
• Cleaning staff entered without knocking, even while we were sleeping. They didn’t actually clean — just made the beds (without sheets), changed towels, and left. The floor stayed dirty the entire time. We often saw them smoking during work hours, reinforcing the feeling that they simply didn’t care.
• Uncomfortable breakfast environment.
The staff would eat in the guest dining area during breakfast time, and their attitude made guests feel unwelcome. It’s one thing for staff to take breaks — it’s another to eat among guests while giving off cold, unfriendly vibes.
• No laundry facilities, which was a huge drawback for a 9-day stay. We really missed having that option.

⚖️ Final thoughts:

This hostel has potential: great location, nightlife access, and a decent room layout.
But none of that matters when you leave with your body covered in bites and the sinking feeling that you slept in a trap disguised as a hostel.

I do not recommend this place for long stays, or for anyone who values basic hygiene and respect for guests.
If you’re just staying one night and going out to party, you might get by. But unless they urgently fix the bedbug issue and completely revamp their cleaning standards, this place is nothing more than a pretty facade hiding a hygiene disaster.
