Hostels in center in Budapest

That was great for travelers. The place was great and their service like breakfast was amazing.

The free breakfast was very generous, and the hotel is right in the city center. The environment was decent too.

The experience in the hostel was amazing, the place is in a very good location of the city, nearby to the tram and the metro. The accommodation was very good, and the service very nice. The staffs were very kindly, want to thanks Julia, Joaquim, Arthur, Andrés, Caio, Murilo and Norbi that helped enjoying the stay.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Check-in was fast. Rooms are very clean but beds are not that big if you're a tall person. Location is superb and you can directly find anything you need immediately. They have group Whatsapp for activities but I didn't try it. Breakfast is fine and tasty.

My third time. I love the location the team and the breakfast. It is low budget to enjoy small luxury and meet good people.

Listen to me carefully, you petits sauvages (complaining in the comments. I have stayed in palaces from Versailles to Dubai, and yet, my heart belongs to Lavender Circus. Why? Because of Siobhan. That woman is a chef-d'œuvre! A masterpiece! She handled my vintage Hermès luggage as if it were made of holy relics. She has the poise of a ballerina and the efficiency of a Swiss watch. If you found her...

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.

The staff is great! We appreciated that there were a lot of kitchen inventory, it was really helpful. The room was clean and neat

The hotel has a very interesting and unusual interior design, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. However, there are several significant downsides. First, be prepared that there is no elevator, and you have to walk up to the 4th floor. The rooms are in desperate need of maintenance. The layout is not well thought out: there is nowhere to hang or store clothes, and there are no shelves in the...

Location was very central and convenient. The room wasn't as seen in the pictures but worked out. Staff was accommodating.

The building is old but we'll kept, there are plenty of stairs and the hostel is on the top floor, I love the wallpaper designs. Hot water goes out sometimes so shower quickly! The location is very central if you enjoy walking to see the city. I've added videos of our room and views from the window. My dog, Hokis, and I are enjoying our stay.

Not a good place to stay if you're a solo traveler. Lots of groups and pretty noisy area. But the staff and some parts are amazing as a it is a party hostel.

Great place friendly staff and very helpful nearby town and in the middle of everything

Amazing rooftop! Too bad there's no coffee machine.

It was very nice and clean good service customer are friendly as well thank you

Very good, my roommates were all friendly.

Amazing stay for solo traveller. Available at pre location. Everything is within walking distance or accessible via public transport nearby.

6-person female dorm is a spacious room with a huge bathroom. Mine was on the 3rd floor facing a side alley and at night it was quiet. Can be a bit messy depending on roommates, but nice after cleaning. Every bed has blackout curtains, a power outlet, a lamp, a mini air conditioner and a code-opening safe (with two additional power outlets inside). Everyone also has a personal locker that opens with...

Very convenient location. Near to the public transport and walkable distance to certain attractions. Room is clean and comfortable.

The hostel was really good. We stayed in a private room so my experience is also due to the fact that I didn’t had to share my space with anyone. The staff were super friendly (which these days is rare in a hostel). The beds are really clean and they really had a proper system to avoid bed bugs and stuff that you usually question from a hostel. The one remark was that there is no space to put our...

It’s a good place to stay. Everything was perfect.

The reception was so nice and the room was very clean.

The four-person room was very spacious and offered good privacy. The bathroom was also large, and the staff kept the place clean and well-maintained.

Room was spotless, staff was courteous . . . great experience. Room was very small (I had to put the luggage on the bed to close the door), but it was fine for sleeping. . . and there was a kitchen down the hall. Couldn't ask for a better location. Really great!

Not cleaned well, we saw hairs on the linens from the previous people. It looked washed, but not good enough. Otherwise, location and self check in is great.

the location is excellent. walking distance to the attractions.

Very good. I like this hostel.

The location is very good, different from the youth hostel I imagined, very quiet and clean. Everyone is of high quality

It was good. Showers and toilets are too small in my opinion. Not too clean showers. Besides this there is a relaxed zone, kitchen, I really like decision about long sofa in the room, it’s really comfortable. Overall I like everything, thank you:) Location is great!

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

MP Hostel Budapest was absolutely the most pleasant surprise of my Europe trip! The hostel boasts a prime downtown location, just a 6-minute walk from Blaha Lujza tér metro station. It's surrounded by trendy restaurants, ruin bars, and attractions, making both transportation and nightlife incredibly convenient. While it's a hostel, the rooms are clean and tidy, each with its own private bathroom. The...

Limited facility. Staff are very helpful. The location is not bad.

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...

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.

The location is amazing, the staff is also nice, and the people are cool; however, I had the feeling that the place is not clean enough. all the shared areas, toilets, and kitchen were okay, but I think it could have been more hygienic.

I stayed here for a few nights in January and I enjoyed it. It was cheap, and they let me pay in cash with euros (I think 57 euros for 4 nights & a lock for my locker). The location makes everything quite walkable. I did not use the common area; my photos show the building from the outside.

Everything is fine, everyone is very enthusiastic and the location is convenient.

It was difficult to find the hostel at first. I cam late and couldn't come in through the door by the street at first. Someone living there opened it, as he wanted to go inside. After that, the service was nice. The curtains of the bed are not covering enough, so I needed my own sleep mask to get it dark. Also the location is near to a loud street. It is nice for going to bars at night but not so sleeping

Nice room with very clean toilet and with the best location at very reasonable price

So let's stay at a great place. It was clean and the best value. Just stay for a long time if you need to. It's the best to work with, and there's good food around the area, so eat well.

This was my first time staying in a hostel so I was a bit apprehensive. However, after staying here all my previous worries were completely wiped away. The staff are so much fun and really helpful. The hostel itself has great social areas and is really clean. They have drinking games, site seeing tours, free tea and coffee and a great appliances. I would 100% recommend staying here if you’re young...

A really good hostel. Its clean, the vibe was good. There are volunteers that work there and they are all such amazing people. Erto and Lea were really nice, Lea guided us like a pro to all the parties and Erto gave us a nice tour of the city. 5/5 recommend My first solo trip was a success thanks to you guys.

Best experience at a hostel. If you are interested in budapest party life, this is where you will get the best experience when it comes to tips, companions, party driven travelers, short distances, cleanliness, room quality and staff. Mauro and Rodriguez were by far the most welcoming staff during my stay. I never hesitated to start a conversation with them or ask them for help. Thank you for your...

Best hostel I’ve stayed at. Very social, friendly staff that make it easy to meet everyone else. They organize daily tours during the day and drinking games and pub crawls at night so there is always something to do. I love onefam!

I honestly could not recommend this hostel more. Highlights: The insane energy brought by the one and only Aussie powerhouse due Angus and Ella. The homey vibes from Leah and Jenna that can somehow cure any hangover. The amazing photos taken by the local Romanian vampire Lola. The feel good vibes from the bar staff that will never let your glasses run empty. This hostel offers great drinking games...

If you’re traveling to Budapest and looking for a hostel to stay in, this is the place to be! Andy, Rob, and the the rest of the staff do an amazing job of making it and inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone. Whether you’re traveling with friends or traveling alone, you’ll leave here with more friends than you came with. Every single night was a memorable night. By the end of my trip I didn...

This accommodation operates without a reception, and in our case, our flight arrived early, so we had to find a separate place to store our luggage, which was a hassle. Furthermore, the hotel lacked soundproofing, so we could hear a lot of noise. Please note that the location is within walking distance of major tourist attractions. Additionally, be aware of the restaurants.

Room and shared bathroom & toilets were very clean. Kind and Helpful staff even though they don’t speak English. Excellent location. Thank you for the wonderful stay. 😀

The place is very convenient to the location of tourist spots and transportation. Just a little comment, there is no free slippers to the room itself. Maybe next time they should have 1. And the AC doesn’t work or we just dont know how to turn on, coz remote missing.

The room was great, the bathroom was so-so

Great choice for price This hostel was very nice and well equipped. The virtual key service was broken for most of our stay so they gave us a defaults key card, but when it worked again it was fine. Location is great but pretty loud on the weekends so this is something to note. Only negative aspect was the coffee machine would break randomly but as it was an added service, not the hugest deal. You...

No toothpaste no shampoo no bath liquid washing machine not given except the price is okay nothing the waiter is not on watsupp to guide a complete no service to speak of. Luggage Storage If you need to before check-in need to pull yourself to a nearby laundry 100 RMB no matter how many hours 10 am must check out Luggage is not allowed to be placed in the living room or even not reply to messages again...

The location of Pal Mini Hostel is great and very convenient. However, the room was not soundproof at all, so it was quite noisy. The showerhead in our bathroom was also broken, which was disappointing. The price felt a bit expensive for what we got, but it might be because we stayed during New Year’s.

I loved it there. The hostel was very quiet and peaceful. I came alone and rented a private room with shared bath. The hostel does not have staff there usually, but is very accommodating over text. I got in super later due to missing my bus, and then the next bus was stuck at the border for 5 hours. They sent me a whatsapp text with videos on how to get in and very good instructions. Another staff...

I stayed with two friends, and when we first arrived, there was no one at the reception. We received instructions over the phone from the owner for the check-in process. Overall, the accommodation was good; the room and bathrooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable. Since we went during the off-season, only two rooms were occupied, so we didn’t experience any noise issues. We were satisfied with...

Very nice hostel. Everything is clean, very few carpets, which means few parasites. All the laundry smells like fresh wash. A complete wet cleaning was done before us. High ceilings. Homely environment, decent shower, clean toilet, kitchen, everything you need. Great location with a beautiful view. I would be happy to come back here again.

Absolutely excellent little hostel situated in the heart of Budapest city centre. Easy walking distance to the Ruin Bars which are an absolute must when you visit the city and near to the Danube for cultural visit, especially the “Shoes”, very moving. Very reasonably priced and the reception man called Matias could not do enough for us. Showers were hot, towels and sheets provided and clean. A basic...

the place is good, but reception is not 24 hours(

Spacious twin room and access to a well-stocked kitchen. The apartment was very convenient, and it was easy to access public transport and see the sights. It was also very quiet at night, so we slept well. Judit was a great host. A great place to stay in Budapest, I would heartily recommend it.

Absolutely Wonderful Stay! We had a fantastic experience staying here! The location is perfect—right in the city centre and easily accessible, which made getting around so convenient. Judith, the owner, is such a lovely and welcoming host. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and full of useful information about the area, she even have us a map marking all the sightseeing places we wanted to see. You...

Everything was great here. Judit was a very hospitable host and the apartment was nicely prepared. The bed is comfortable and there is also a sofa, desk and full kitchen - all you need for a short stay. Everything was clean and the location was fantastic - next to the Astoria M2 metro station and close to Ferenciek Tér M3. Despite the city centre location the apartment was quiet and you can’t hear...

Amazing location. Affordable Clean, safe. It got hot and all there was was a fan, no AC but in colder times this would be perfect.

Excellent location and just a few steps away from Astoria subway station (the bus to and from the aiport passes right by it). Judi is an outstanding manager and she will give you great tips on places to see and things to do in this great city.

I could stay here so comfortable.The hotel owner and her partner were very very helpful and kindness. They taught me Budapest sightseeing even though I send rude emails and I couldn’t speak English very well. It’s my first time to stay the hotel which like airb. The wall of these rooms was thin.I could hear noises from next room and also I made noises too. That is the only point of concern.

I stayed at Maverick Apartments for three days, and honestly, I wish I could’ve stayed longer. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and the location was just perfect. Close enough to everything I needed, but still peaceful enough to truly relax. Every little detail, from the cozy bedding to the spotless kitchen, showed how much care goes into this place. It’s rare to find somewhere that feels...

Great location, very nice and comfortable apartment. The bathroom lacks a bit more updating and would also work on the linens.

Good experience for family , central location , nearby tourist attractions, nice and clean place , friendly and helpful staff.

Maverick Apartments were excellent value for money, very well equipped (fridge, kettle, microwave, cooker and equipment) and well located, we found that all the main attractions on both sides of the river were within easy walking distance. Staff were very friendly.

Great stay for when you just need a place to lay your head in the evening. Everything was super accessible, conditions clean, staff friendly. I’d stay again!

A good hotel room in the heart of Budapest A good hostel and hotel in the heart of Budapest. I has an elevator. Some of the rooms are for a hostel, and some are hotel rooms.

I stayed for 3 nights. The location was great and the bed was very comfortable with AC in the room (renovated rooms). The hotel had a lift, dining room, and laundry facilities, which I liked. However, the lockers in the rooms are tiny and are only suitable for keeping documents. You have to leave your backpack or luggage next to your bed.

Okay but I expected more for the price. no air conditioning in the rooms, so it can get really hot. The kitchen is very small and frankly not suitable for cooking. The big positive is that the location is great.

Great atmosphere, but if you want to go to bed early, this isnt good option for you. The disadvantage was that there was a terrible air in the room and the only option how to get fresh one was by opening window, which is situated to the inner block where was loud bar.

Great hostel, awesome bar on the main floor with multiple rooms, they have a DJ and dance floor and some rooms where you can grab a bite to eat! The main bar will sometimes play live music which gives the place even more life. Great for partying all night and sleeping all day in a good district of Pest! All the other club attractions are only a few blocks away as well as food available everywhere at...

Very nice looking hostel, with bar that's never empty on evening. Recommended only for people that are okay with that.

I visited my son and his friends who were staying there,seemed really friendly, great bar atmosphere for solo travelers or with friends ?

Very friendly service, especially the gentleman at reception. Thank you very much for your help and understanding. Good location, close to everything. One small comment – no five stars for cleanliness. Overall okay, but take a look under the bed next time :) I totally recommend it.

The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff was helpful, respectful and welcoming. The temperature of the room was very nice too.

Rooms are very clean The receptionist is very nice The rooms has has all you want fridge kettle iron hot water soaps shampoo and all It is Very Near the stations and near many attractions Almost city center

We had a private room with a shared bath. Other then the very loud sirens everything about the place was as expected. Receptionists were friendly and helpful. The kitchen had what we needed. The room was clean and bed comfortable.

Amazing location right next to the main areas of Budapest. 15 minutes walk from anywhere central you might want to be. This place is also right next to a metro station and 10 mins walk from the bus route from the airport. From the outside it's nothing special looking, but the rooms are clean and practical. I stayed in both a room with a shared bathroom and a room with my own bathroom and they were...

Very good hostel, especially for this price. Essentially it has all what you need and the location is very close to all sightseeings

This hostel is so nice and the location is convenient. The room was clean , the bed was comfortable and the staff was friendly. I really enjoyed my staying there. When I come to Budapest again, I will stay at this hostel :)

The hostel is neat and clean, located centrally near the metro station but the pillow and blanket provided were of poor quality. Breakfast was not so great and it gets over in a jiffy, but negligible since its free. The hostel staff were cool as well.

You get what you paid for. Location is great, you have privacy with the curtains in the bed and the staff is friendly. I forgot my charger and they lent me one for my stay. Beware the rooms are not particularly clean, specially the bathrooms and the showers, which bothered me. The breakfast is simple, but enough. Try to be early since food can get scarce by the end.

We’ve been in Budapest for 2 days and needed to find a place to stay, sleep. I’ve stayed at hostels for dozens of times but for me this is the best one so far. Thanks to Essential Hostel, I have great international friends! The staff, kitchen, rooms, location are pretty good. I highly recommend you to choose this hostel. You wouldn’t regret about it.

The stay was as expected and a value for money. The location served well as every facilities were easily accessible from the hostel very easily. The staffs were polite and helpful. Even if you do not have proper facilities for safekeeping of things they provide lock for a small deposit. The breakfast was very simple, yet good. Awesome for solo travelers.

The check-in process was smooth and fast. Thanks to the friendly and helpful staff. I booked the dorm attached shower, so I can enjoy it. The best part is I can have my own privacy within my bed with the curtain hanging on. I can even charged my handphone, camera, laptop and more. The locker is big which I can store my things. Metro is just outside the hostel. If I would be back to Budapest again,...
