                “Great location, basic hostel ”

                Pros: - Location, location, location ! Stunning views of the Parliament, riverside and located on a beautiful island, near to public transport and many attractions - Great staff who are very helpful and give you plenty of relevant information Thank you Edith and Timmy for all your suggestions. - Very clean hostel - My room opened onto a huge terrace/patio and it was very beautiful Cons: - Catcus plants greet you as you enter the hostel, so it feels very hostile, very much unlike the staff though - There are absolutely no hooks in the bathroom to keep your clother - There is only 1 toilet and 1 bathroom for 10 people (I am guessing there are only 1 toilet and bath in each room), so there were frequently too much wait - There are no privacy curtains and the bed frames are thin, when the person above moves, there's creaking sound Overall, because of the location, cleanliness and helpful staff, it's a good hostel. If these small things can be fixed, I think it will be the best hostel!

                “Very nice hostel”

                Enjoyed my stay in this small hostel. Fantastic location overlooking the Danube River. Very friendly and honest staff, I left my reading glasses on my bed and it was returned to me. Also staff helped me break open a lock as my keys were locked in my suitcase. Nice clean bathroom as well. Only negatives about the hostel and I still gave it 5 star rating for all categories. Hostel is above a bar and is noisy and constant slamming doors to the rooms. The door frames need foam to stop the banging. Other than that, great hostel.

                I visited at the end of January. If you're prepared to walk a bit during your backpacking trip, you'll be more than satisfied! It's hard to find a hostel in the city center that has such a clean and nice environment... My roommates were fellow travelers of the same age and were friendly, so we had a great time together! It might be even better if you come in the summer when there are more activities, hehe.
