MP Hostel Budapest in Budapest

Ok location very all the basic thing that you need. Spacious twin room. Hostel vibe. Sonething maybe old but spacious still consider comfort stay.

I stayed at Marco Polo Hostel for one week after reading many positive reviews. Here’s my honest take:

📍 Location (10/10):
The location is perfect—right in the city center. It’s just a 5–8 minute walk from both Metro 2 (where the hostel is) and Metro 3 / Deak Ferenc Ter (for the 100E airport bus). Couldn’t ask for better.

👋 First Impression & Check-in:
I arrived early at 9 AM on Christmas Day (Dec 25), well before the 2 PM check-in. A friendly staff member (chubby, helpful) allowed me to leave my luggage in the storage room—a very kind gesture that started my stay on a positive note. When I returned to check in, there was a small confusion about my booking (I accidentally booked for 2 people in a 12-bed dorm instead of 1), but the staff handled it calmly and professionally. They also helped sort out a postal code issue for my Hong Kong details—thank you!

🛏 Room & Sleep:
I was assigned beds 3 & 4 in a 2nd-floor dorm. The bunk beds are subdivided, offering decent privacy. Noise was minimal—maybe 10–15 minutes of understandable movement here and there, but nothing disruptive. Most guests were European ( students, southeast Asians and Europeans) staying short-term. Male and female dorms are separate.

🚿 Bathrooms & Facilities:
All showers worked perfectly—good hot/cold water. Remember to bring your own towel and toiletries. As a backpacker, I was prepared, but it’s worth noting.

🍞 Breakfast:
Available for 3200 HUF. Simple but satisfying—fresh, hand-made bread was delicious. I’ve never eaten so much bread in my life, and I mean that in a good way!

💧 Water & Extras:
Bottled water is available for 500 HUF. The friendly slim staff even gave me a discount when I bought five bottles. Tap water in Hungary is drinkable, so you can refill if you prefer. I also appreciated the staff’s fluency in English—communication was never an issue.

🔑 Small Issues Handled Well:
Once I locked myself out of my room, and they promptly lent me a spare key. My key card occasionally failed, but they fixed it in under a minute. The team is flexible and quick to help.

❤ Nice Touch:
During check-in, the staff introduced a charity donation for kids in Hungary. I donated for the first time here—felt good to contribute.

📌 Final Tips:
Read the house rules posted near the counter. Bring your own toiletries and towel. The hostel is well-run, clean, and staffed by helpful, English-speaking professionals.

✅ Overall:
Great value for money, excellent location, and genuinely helpful staff. I’d happily stay again and recommend it to fellow travelers. I will definitely come back here for my solo travel!

Loved the stay- the location was easy to find with clear instructions - Staff was nice- its only minutes away from main train stations and to all the attractions as well!!!

Rooms were great and location is fantastic. Unfortunately I had to cut my trip short due to a family emergency. I had hoped to be reimbursed for the 6 nights I had already paid for, but no luck. I feel cheated because of that. I'm sure my bed was rebooked as it's a popular hostel. I would have been satisfied with even half of what I'd paid. It will make me rethink of staying here again.

I wasn't expecting such high quality at such an affordable price, I'm still very surprised... The rooms are very clean, customer satisfaction is a priority... I am especially grateful to Gréta and Barnabas (I hope that's correct)🫣 for their attention... Both are very attentive and solution-oriented, but always prioritize customer satisfaction. I think they deserve a high salary .🙏. Thank you for everything. This will be my only choice from now on 🥰

I would come back here. It is nice and clean, and super central. Walking distance for most tourist attractions, coffe shops, restaurants and stores. I even had my room all to myself, even though i bought a 4 person room. The only reason i am giving 4/5 atarts is because of the kitchen, it does not have a stove or oven, only microwave and waterboiler.

I stayed at MP Hostel Budapest with my girlfriend and we had a great experience. The price-performance ratio was excellent, and the hostel is located in a very central area, which made it easy to explore the city. Overall, it was a very convenient and budget-friendly choice. Highly recommended!

Really worth staying here! The location is super convenient, close to the tram for tourist spots, just a 4-minute walk to the bus stop, and near the metro too. The building is old, but they keep it really clean, and you can tell they put effort into maintaining it. The staff are amazing and always try to help with whatever I need. Keep up the good work!
