Its strategic location, nearby Kalvin tér, which is an important square to take the tram, the urban bus and the subway. In addition, the recepcionists were always so kind to Elena and me, Fernando. For instance, I needed to do the laundry, and the staff did it very politely. Lastly, every zone of the hostel was incredibly clean, even the bathrooms. I wish the Mustache Hostel a lot of success, it goes the right way

I gave 10/10 for Flow! PERFECT LOCATION, next to the Central Market, very close to Kalvin Ter (bus stop for airport shuttle) and Fovam Ter (big hub for bus, tram, metro), next to the Chain Bridge!!! So you're also within walking distance to Gellert Hill & Gellert Thermal Baths. 24/7 super friendly staffs, multiple common rooms (they even have a quieter area for working people), functioning kitchen with a capsule coffee machine & dishwasher, private bathroom in your room + multiple public bathrooms that were always clean & with strong shower pressure & quite powerful hairdryers, and comfortable & large bunkbed boxes with curtain, light, power socket, and extra box storage inside. Definitely gonna stay here again if I visit Budapest again later. Good job to Flow!

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.
