Hostels di Pest, Hungary

Nice small room perfect for sleeping after exploring the city the whole day. The neighbours don't make too much noise, the hotel is in the city centre so it's close to every major attractions in Budapest. It's also close to the subway. The rooms and bathrooms are clean. I recommend it for someone who wants to spend a weekend or longer in Budapest

Very satisfied with my stay in this hostel. Has everything I expected cleanliness, location, ease of transportation to all places of interest, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets everywhere. It is in a party district with the accompanied noise into the middle of the night but it did not affect my sleep at least for me without the need for ear plugs which the hostel provides if you need them. And staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

I stayed at Marco Polo Hostel for one week after reading many positive reviews. Here’s my honest take: 📍 Location (10/10): The location is perfect—right in the city center. It’s just a 5–8 minute walk from both Metro 2 (where the hostel is) and Metro 3 / Deak Ferenc Ter (for the 100E airport bus). Couldn’t ask for better. 👋 First Impression & Check-in: I arrived early at 9 AM on Christmas Day (Dec 25), well before the 2 PM check-in. A friendly staff member (chubby, helpful) allowed me to leave my luggage in the storage room—a very kind gesture that started my stay on a positive note. When I returned to check in, there was a small confusion about my booking (I accidentally booked for 2 people in a 12-bed dorm instead of 1), but the staff handled it calmly and professionally. They also helped sort out a postal code issue for my Hong Kong details—thank you! 🛏 Room & Sleep: I was assigned beds 3 & 4 in a 2nd-floor dorm. The bunk beds are subdivided, offering decent privacy. Noise was minimal—maybe 10–15 minutes of understandable movement here and there, but nothing disruptive. Most guests were European ( students, southeast Asians and Europeans) staying short-term. Male and female dorms are separate. 🚿 Bathrooms & Facilities: All showers worked perfectly—good hot/cold water. Remember to bring your own towel and toiletries. As a backpacker, I was prepared, but it’s worth noting. 🍞 Breakfast: Available for 3200 HUF. Simple but satisfying—fresh, hand-made bread was delicious. I’ve never eaten so much bread in my life, and I mean that in a good way! 💧 Water & Extras: Bottled water is available for 500 HUF. The friendly slim staff even gave me a discount when I bought five bottles. Tap water in Hungary is drinkable, so you can refill if you prefer. I also appreciated the staff’s fluency in English—communication was never an issue. 🔑 Small Issues Handled Well: Once I locked myself out of my room, and they promptly lent me a spare key. My key card occasionally failed, but they fixed it in under a minute. The team is flexible and quick to help. ❤ Nice Touch: During check-in, the staff introduced a charity donation for kids in Hungary. I donated for the first time here—felt good to contribute. 📌 Final Tips: Read the house rules posted near the counter. Bring your own toiletries and towel. The hostel is well-run, clean, and staffed by helpful, English-speaking professionals. ✅ Overall: Great value for money, excellent location, and genuinely helpful staff. I’d happily stay again and recommend it to fellow travelers. I will definitely come back here for my solo travel!

I had a great stay. The staff is very friendly and check-in is quick. Rooms & bathrooms are very clean. Housekeeping is doing a good job. The internet speed is very satisfying. I enjoy the kitchen, which offers plenty of space, well equipped and it even has an oven. I stayed there several times and like it very much. Location is also great, very central and you have all you need just nearby (supermarket, restaurants, snacks/fast-food...) There could be some more activities initiated by the hostel to get people connected. Like cooking, boardgame night, etc...There is a WhatsApp Group, but at the moment I joined the group there were no activities/ chats in the 5 days I've been there.

This hostel wins according to its strategic location. For solo travellers and young people, this place seems to suit better especially when you only need a place to lay down and rest. Other than that, nothing special. I was waiting for more than an hour for my room to be ready after checking in. If I did not ask, I would’ve waited longer. Also, for Dorm option, I have to pay the deposit 10€ (cash or card is fine, which I paid cash), and it is returned upon the check out.

Excellent location, walkable to many places in downtown. Restaurants, exchangers and groceries nearby. Metro station Oktogon is right nextdoor. The hostel provides free breakfast, if you spend over 4 euros at the bar at dinner time you also get free dinner. There's a kitchen area in each room unit free to use as well.

I had a pleasant stay at A&O Hostel Budapest. The service was good and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Luggage storage facilities are available, which was very convenient. Overall, a comfortable and hassle-free experience.

The location is very central and beside underground station. The building is really old, the entrance scares a bit, smalls a bit bad but when you get the reception it will be better. The accommodation was ok, clean bed, including towel and they put in your bed a small welcome chocolate which is really kind :) In the kitchen there is tea, sugar, and you can prepare your on coffee because there is a stuff for that. There is a hair dryer in the toilet.

Terrace is awesome, staff friendly. Vacak the cat is awesome too. This hostel is a great option to spend some time on the island, had a good night sleep and it was clean. Often though staff can be missing from the reception during the stated reception hours, and nearby is more of a party scene with few quality dining options. The 400ft Costa coffee capsules aren't exactly good either, so there is some space for improvement compared to some of the newer hostels in town.

Lovely place. Highly recommend! If you’re looking for a proper warm place to stay in budapest, this is definitely your best choice! The room, lobby and kitchen are super clean and tidy. The hotel staffs are welcoming. The location is perfect, where you can find a supermarket within 2 min walk and the tram station within 5 min walk! Also the breakfast are delicious and well-priced! What a great deal!
