This hostel is pretty and clean but that is about it. the dorms are supposedly 10 bed separated into cubicles of 2 bunks, but there are actually 12 beds and 1 cubicle has 4 and we got that one, so had to share which we weren't expecting. Also it is loud, the staff apparently haven't heard of the supposed 'free minibus shuttle to and from Keleti station', and they basically just think its funny if wanker guests disturb everyone else. Plus is is extremely expensive. And the free breakfast is shit. Go elsewhere I say!

This place is very nice but then so are shopping malls and MacDonalds, we was heading elsewhere when we were given the hard sell by a guy at the train station and like the suckers we are we fell for it. After spending double what we would have somewhere else , we left after the first night. The place is clean and in a good location and the receptionists are friendly, just have your own opinion and dont beleive all you hear at the train station.

This is a hotel rather than a hostel - highly recommended. The staff are very friendly and speak good English (which is unusual in Hungary!), and they're willing to assist with all sorts of problems (they made phonecalls for us to places that didn't speak English - we only paid for the call charges). The rooms are birght, airy, impeccably clean and have ensuite facilities, there are lockers and luggage storage and even a safe. Expenssive it may be, but it's well worth it - especially if you are arriving late or departing early.... they will book airport transport for you, too.

This was more like a regular hotel! Our double room was impeccably clean and new. They even had a free shuttle from the train station.
