Hostels in Pest, Hungary

Very chaotic and confusing check-in process. Arrived before check-in and got registered, just needed to get my key at check-in time. So far so good. At check-in time I am directed to an iPad terminal to register with with my name and my booking number from the accommodation, not then one on the booking portal, which I've no clue which it is. After me struggling to look-up this number out of countless CRM-emails I received from the Hostel the friendly staff member, looked up my name in the guest list, went back to the receptionist desk to check my check-in amd got my key card to my room. Arrived in the room it didn't matched with the category and pictures I booked. Went back down to the reception, who fixed it. All this took a lot of time and not to mention all the Welcoming and Info-e-mails you receive from Maverick's at any occasion of the ”customer journey” process. To the management and marketing folks there: Keep your check-in process simple. Your visitors are offered to pre-check-in online or at an iPad terminal in the lobby, just to end up queuing again at the reception to identify yourself again, pay the tourist tax or get their key card. It's nonsense. Have a vending machine spitting out the keycard for those cases. Just keep the regular check-in process as anywhere else directly at the reception with showing your passport etc... Stop these insane amount of email at every step of the customer journey, no-one needs this ot also makes it difficult to find one's relevant booking information. Let's come to the positive part. Staff is friendly and helpful. My room was very nice, clean and comfortable, it was a good deal to. Good internet. The kitchen is great, well equipped and a nice place to connect with people. Free coffee and tea, also a water dispenser in the lobby - great! There are many free activities organized by the hostel, we had a wine tasting for free and it was nice to talk to other guest there. Location is central, where you'll find all you need, even mini marts open 24/7. Free locker before and after check-in.

The rooms and common areas were really clean! The staff were also very kind! The area around the hotel isn't too dark at night, so it feels safe enough to walk around alone if you're careful, and tourist spots are within walking distance, which is super convenient! There aren't curtains on the beds, but it didn't bother me much. The lockers are secured with your room key!

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 beds are comfortable and offer good privacy, so you won't be disturbed even when sharing a room with others. The front desk service is attentive and thoughtful, available 24/7 to answer questions, and they also offer free luggage storage and city maps. The common areas include a shared kitchen and a bar, perfect for meeting backpackers from all over the world in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I especially want to highlight its excellent value for money; you get the convenience and comfort of a city center location at a low price, which is perfect for budget travelers. Whether you're exploring Budapest's historical sites or experiencing its nightlife, this is an ideal base. Highly recommended for all backpackers! The Budapest Opera House is also highly recommended, and I hope you have a wonderful trip! I wish the hostel great success!

I had a great stay. The staff is very friendly and check-in is quick. Rooms & bathrooms are very clean. Housekeeping is doing a good job. The internet speed is very satisfying. I enjoy the kitchen, which offers plenty of space, well equipped and it even has an oven. I stayed there several times and like it very much. Location is also great, very central and you have all you need just nearby (supermarket, restaurants, snacks/fast-food...) There could be some more activities initiated by the hostel to get people connected. Like cooking, boardgame night, etc...There is a WhatsApp Group, but at the moment I joined the group there were no activities/ chats in the 5 days I've been there.

Located in the hippest neighborhood of Pest. Just be aware that you need to pay a 10 euro deposit for the dormitory room.

I stayed at Avenue for a month. Overall a value for money option with smart design, ready-to-assist employees at a very nice central location where you can get the Budapest vibes in an affordable economically - and more sociable - way. It is very convenient also that it has box locks inside the bed cabin. It is particular useful for professionals with devices n paperwork so as not to stress over the security of your personal items. A very functional n esthetically pleasant design. Vasiliki-Nefeli Lagoudaki, architect engineer NTUA, MsC

It went really well. We arrived in the afternoon and checked in. They were very kind on our last day, holding our luggage for free until we left. The room was nice and clean, and the bathroom had everything (even soap). Perhaps the only downside was that there was only one towel per person, which was a bit inconvenient for washing your hair.

The location of the hotel is very good, with bus and subway stations just outside, and a fast food supermarket downstairs. The service at the front desk was very good, thanks to Adam and Khalil, who were very friendly and tried their best to meet my needs. Especially Adam, when I couldn't find the entrance, he left the front desk to find me and take me into the hotel; I didn't bring a lock, so I put my luggage in the luggage room, and I went to get my belongings many times to ask him to help open the door, and he was not impatient at all.

Terrace is awesome, staff friendly. Vacak the cat is awesome too. This hostel is a great option to spend some time on the island, had a good night sleep and it was clean. Often though staff can be missing from the reception during the stated reception hours, and nearby is more of a party scene with few quality dining options. The 400ft Costa coffee capsules aren't exactly good either, so there is some space for improvement compared to some of the newer hostels in town.

I recently stayed here and was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience. This hostel strikes a perfect balance between functionality, cleanliness, and location. Location & Accessibility The location is a major highlight. It is exceptionally well-connected to the city’s transport network, with trams, metro lines, and buses all within easy reach. Getting around the city was seamless. Additionally, the surrounding area is vibrant and packed with dining options, especially if you are a fan of brunch spots. Facilities & Room Features The hostel is incredibly well-organized. One of the best features is the storage Big Lockers:There is more than enough space to securely store large suitcases, which is often a rarity in hostels. Cleanliness:The shared bathrooms were consistently clean. Amenities: I appreciated the inclusion of shower gel and the availability of hair dryers, making the stay much more comfortable They also provide ear plugs at the corridor to ensure a good sleep. . Food & Social Atmosphere There is an on-site bar that serves as a great social hub. They provide a solid breakfast to start your day and offer a good selection of beer in the evenings. It’s a convenient spot to relax without having to head back out after a long day of sightseeing. This hostel is definitely value for money.. If you're looking for an organized, clean, and perfectly situated base for your travels, I highly recommend it.
