        One of the coziest and friendliest hostels I’ve stayed in. Pretty much perfect!”

        This isn’t a “party hostel”—much more personal, but it can quickly turn into one when somebody (usually staff) organizes a group to hit the bars. When not partying, it’s such a great place to chill, and the staff were amazing. When I’m back in Budapest I won’t even consider staying elsewhere.

        Everything was perfect. I'm pretty sure that I have quite many hostel experiences and here was best. Every single staff was so friendly and they were always ready to help everything. The room was spacious and cozy. They do clean every single space. Also common space was cozy just like I'm at home. They have best bathrooms compared to other Hostels. Every facilities are well-maintained. I would definitely choose this hostel again.

        They have their hostel at two locations within walking distance of each other. I was accommodated at one of them. The staff here are very friendly and helpful esp. Robbie who I met on the first day. The rooms are big and have comfortable beds. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. Location is superb and you can walk to the old town and the ruin pubs.

        작은 호스텔입니다. 전 대형호스텔을 좋아해서 취향탓에 굉장히 좋지는 않았는데 소규모 호스텔을 좋아하신다면 적극주천드립니다. (사실 그렇게 소규모도 아닙니다) 도미토리는 매우 커서 캐리어 펼치기에 좋고 엘리베이터 있습니다. 짐보관 가능하고 수건도 큰거 한장 줍니다!

        일단 위치는 트램역과 가깝지만 큰길에 바가 몰려있는 길이라 밤에는 꽤나 시끄럽고, 호스텔표시가 워낙 작아서 근처에서 한 20분 헤맴. 하지만 직원들이 엄청 친절하고 주방이 있어 끓이거나 굽는 요리도 가능하고, 방자체가 엄청 넓고 높아서 2층 침대에선 메아리가 들릴지경ㅋㅋ 호스텔 내에서 판매하는 음식이나 음료가 없으나 바로 근방에 마트, 은행, 안전한 환전소 다있음. 호불호가 갈릴수 있으나 개인적으로는 개호.

        안락하고 편안해요.”

        여성 도미토리에 묵었는데, 괜찮았어요. 일층침대만 있었고, 침대옆에 테이블겸 락커가 있어서 짐 정리하기가 편했습니다. 수건 무료 제공이고, 부엌도 자유롭게 이용하기 편해요. 한달 여행중에 가장 만족했던 호스텔입니다.

        不错的青旅”

        所有青旅该有的这里都一应俱全，员工非常热情。地理位置也不错，周围也有很多餐馆和超市。内院非常有感觉，这家青旅的装修比他图片陈设的要有feel多了。推荐！
