Totally recommend! Staff was wonderful and very helpful. The location is the best, There are metro, bus and trolley stations in a walking distance. There are many electric scooters and bicycles. Also, many restaurants and shops. You'll be in five minutes in Szimpla Kert and Street Food Karavan. Also, St. Stephen's Basilica. The hostel itself was easy to access. it was clean. There were amenities. There's a storage room where you can leave your stuff before check-in and after check-out. It was safe, haven't lost a thing. Common space is pretty large, with desks, sofas and games.

Everything was great. The host Adam was such a nice lad. The hospitality was great. You get to have free coffee and the water that detox water that he makes is amazing. The best thing is the place is near to the main center. You can just walk to anywhere. Even the street it self is awesome. One thing that i found great there was, there was a halal food shop right next after a few buildings. Thanks mustache team.

The space is mesmerizing, I really wished I were staying for a few weeks and not just for a weekend. The amount of dedication, care and creativity invested is sensible everywhere you step. A very zen place that creates calm in your mind too 😊 It was very clean and tidy, the staff was very friendly and welcoming and sent great tips in advance. An absolute 10, looking forward to coming back!

The whole property was very clean and location was great. We stayed in one of the upstairs room but if you have a problem to climbing the stairs I believe you should contact the property and the room we were staying in was short we are quite tall and it was a challenge. But after all it was worth of my money.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location of the hostel, you can reach it by walking from the train station as well. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the air condition was decent - it was cool enough in the room but not too cold for me to get sick. I really appreaciated the sockets were located above each bed. The bathroom in the room was also really appreciated. In general, I think this is one of the best hostels I have ever visited, especially for such decent price! I would definitely love to come back one day!

    We stayed here for a stag do for two nights. What a great place to stay, its very cheap! There was a bar below our rooms that stayed open till 6am with music and food. So after our night out we would come back here to finish the night. It's in a great location bang in the middle for all bars, food and drink. The rooms were fab, the showers were really good for a hostel, powerful. You get a locker in your room too so its very safe. The staff were really helpful.
