Hostels in Pest, Hungary

STAY HERE! Made a mistake on my booking by getting the mixed dorm however I wanted a female room, they changed it at reception without hassle and no extra charge (€27 for 3 nights) the room is very clean, the beds are comfy and you get a privacy curtain, light, plug and hangers in your little pod. There’s a few showers, hairdryer and toilets next to the room and a place to get ready in the morning (very clean) there is a bar downstairs with tvs and also serving good food, there’s chill places to sit outside the room and a rooftop. - 1 min walk to a shop - In the centre, short walks to landmarks - A bus to the airport 10 minute walk away - Bolt, buses and trams to get everywhere Would definitely stay here again!

I was supposed to stay for three nights at the MP Hostel in Budapest; but left a couple of hours after I checked in. I arrived in the hostel before the check-in time; thus requested to leave my suitcase while awaiting check-in. Receptionist David just told me, ”You can put it in the storage room.” He did not even show me where the storage room is. I had to find the room myself. Mind you, David was not busy at that time. He was just chatting with a friend in the reception area. When I finally checked in the hostel late afternoon and went to my room, I noticed that the room was very cold. I opened the heater knob; and waited for more than an hour. No changes; it was still very cold. I then went to the reception; and informed receptionist David about this. He was in the reception, indeed, just talking to another hostel staff Daniel who is apparently the hostel F&B manager. He casually told me, ”Open the heater valve.” To which I replied, ”I did that more than an hour ago; but it's still very cold. Perhaps you can accompany me to the room; and we can both check the heater.” David answered, ”It's not my job. I'm the receptionist; not the technician... and the technician is not here. Wait for your room to get warm.” I said, ”It's been more than an hour since I opened the heater; but the room never got warm at all. If it's not your job to address the heater problem, then who can help me fix this? Can you at least transfer me to another room with a working heating system?” After David called up someone and checked the available rooms, he finally agreed to move me to another room. While I was at the reception waiting for my new room to be ready, I was talking to a friend on the phone to express my disappointment. When David said that my room was ready, I hung my phone up right away; and was surprised when he said, ”I”M A F*CKING RECEPTIONIST. THE HOSTEL MANAGEMENT PLACED ME HERE BECAUSE I SPEAK ENGLISH. CHECKING THE ROOM OR THE HEATER IS NOT MY JOB.” I replied, ” Where did the 'F*CKING RECEPTIONIST' words come from? To be clear, I never addressed you a 'F*CKING RECEPTIONIST.' ” I said these sentences at least twice, to reiterate my point. Without knowing the context of the conversation because he (Daniel) was playing a video game on his phone, F&B manager Daniel suddenly charged at me, kept on pointing his right index finger at me, and raised his voice, ”Don't you dare disrespect my friend and call him 'F*CKING RECEPTIONIST' OR ELSE...” I then said, ”I didn't even call David a 'F*CKING RECEPTIONIST.' Go ask him.” When David agreed that I did not call him that, I then went inside my new room which was still very cold. Heater in the new room was not working. Again. After all the negative experience at MP Hostel Budapest, I decided to leave right away; and found another private room in a hostel nearby. Zero customer service. Aggressive. Threatening. I hope the hostel will improve on its customer service, and value its guests.

I stayed 1 night in a 4 bed with private bathroom room. I really liked it, the bed was very comfortable and I could have private space thanks to its curtain. The bathroom was also clean, though I found it a little bit too small. The location is also perfect, so I can only recommend. What I didn't like was that the towel is not included - you can rent it for extra cost. This should be removed from the description of the room amenities and also the pictures are misleading.

The airport shuttle bus 100E drops only a few minutes walk away from the hostel. (30mins travel) Very useful. There is a socket and reading light next to each bed and I had a change of bedding on my second day. I feel that this is due to there being no bed bookings and you choose your own, so they don't know which bed is still in use. There's a danger you may lose your bed if you don't leave things on it. There was a shared bathroom with a toilet in it and a locker provided in the room too. I brought my own towel as this was not provided. There is shower gel provided in the shower. A really central hostel, though they're is a hub of bars directly opposite, so they're is a lot of noise until very late which means I had disrupted sleep both nights. Plenty of takeaway places close for quick bites to eat and lots of café spots close too. This hostel is also very close to get to the main sights and starts of walking tours also if you'd be doing this too.

Large room, large shower but the water had probably a lot of limestone and other irritants so much that my girlfriend and I became blond at the end of the holiday, and I suggest to male available some eye drops because the eyes after the shower immediately became very reddened and swollen, as an Italian I really appreciated the presence of the bidet, lack of privacy because we had two windows that didn't even close completely and we had only one transparent white curtain available, and that was a passage area and everyone could see us inside. We thank the honesty of those who welcomed us and warned about the possibility of receiving unexpected visits: ”thieves and clochards” and for safety they also wrote it inside the room, just right on the wall indicating the exact point from which they would enter. Good luck!

The hotel is in a good location, about 2 km from the attractions of Buda and Pest. However, the room is too old. The room booked by Ctrip is arranged in the attic attic, with a single window and poor sound insulation. Outside bar music talked until 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, unable to rest. The elevator was added on the patio, and the two doors needed to be pushed by hand, too old.

Mixed stay. I really didn't sleep well. It's not the hostels fault that people come home late and make noise, but I didn't sleep well because of it. Fantastic fulky stocked kitchen. Really easy to cook for yourself. Nice lobby area which is really comfortable. Shower wasn't so clean, tons of bugs in the sink. Only 2 toilets for the men on the whole floor? Kinda odd. 5 showers which is enough. Room is ok. Big cupboard (bring a padlock) bed is comfortable. Pillow is absolutely abysmally uncomfortable. 2 sockets next to the bed. Fantastic air conditioning. Check in is a hard 3pm. That is not flexible at all so plan your time. The hostel organizes social events via its whatsapp group and seems to have a lot going on. Location is pretty good. Limited bar/club noise and it's walkable to many spots. It's in the Jewish quarter around 5 minute walk to Astoria. Staff seem amiable enough. But truthfully I had limited interactions with them. 6 bed mixed dorm room.

Everything is OK. Rail transit is accessible. Quiet.

At 59 this was my first stay at a hostel and I have to say it was fantastic. This one was situated in a perfect location next to the Basilica and easy to get anywhere either by walking, bus or the metro. I was staying close to a dental clinic that I was having treatment at which was less than a 5 minute walk. The hostel itself is a beautiful building and was kept exceptionally clean. I shared a room of 10 and saw many come and go as many were only there for a night. Although sleep wasn’t great due to the number of young people it was something I resigned myself to and not let it bother me. I’m nosy as hell so couldn’t wait to find out names, countries of origin and where they’d travelled. I understand there are many standards of hostel and I’m happy to say that this was great. It had a fully fitted kitchen, washing facilities and thankfully air conditioning as it was high 30 to 40 degrees. The staff were very kind and helpful and run a very organized ship. Thanks all for a great first time experience and rest assured I will be back ❤️❤️❤️

+ free car parking + extreme friendly and patient multilingual staff + very honest room cleaning staff (they informed us that we forgot 2 mobile devices and a purse in the room) + elevator + excellent restaurant with good selection of food in the menu + very big bathroom + we had room with nice view to the lake - bathroom could not be heated (it was quite cold in the morning) - mold in the shower cubicle - small room with old, worn out furnitures - woke up very early by loud noise in the corridor, caused by other guests and staff (as the door were not soundproofed)
