    This place is ideal for those who are looking for a unique, exciting experience. By staying at this hostel, in the very centre of the east-european city of Budapest, you'll find yourself in a surprisingly tropical rainforest-like environment. My friend and I spent here 5 nights during our summer holidays and we could experience the typical tropical climate for ourselves, especially at night. If you are lucky enough, you'll also be able to encounter the native fauna in their natural environment. But don't be scared, all the cockroaches and spiders are very friendly and used to the human presence! In the bathroom you will be able to discover the swamps, due to the overflowing shower, and the incredibly realistic and uncomfortable sensation of the stifling humidity that this windowless area will create in order to faithfully reproduce the climate of this ecosystem. P.S. the most memorable part of our stay was the best receptionist ever, Marcello (we didn't get his Hungarian name so we italianized it), he has been very kind, friendly and helpful!

    The worst hostel I've ever been to. The temperature in the room was like a sauna, the fans that you could rent didn't help much, and there was only one small window to open. The bathroom was terribly dirty, with fungus in the shower as if no one had ever cleaned it. There was neither soap nor towels. The kitchen was there but without any equipment. At the reception it was only possible to borrow dirty dishes which you could not even wash, we had to heat water in a pan because there was not even any pot. The service is a joke, the man didn't know anything at all and didn't want to help. I advise against staying in this place.

    Good for this price but we were really avoiding to come back to our room due it was impossible to breath, there is no even a small fan therefore we were sleeping in sauna, all beyond it was ok

    We stayed in a 3-person room. It was a large room with bathroom, toilet, and a little kitchen. There weren't any soaps. It was pretty hot during our visit in Budapest and there was no AC in the room. You could rent a fan for €2 a day, which probably wouldn't help at all.

    Worst place to stay. You cannot stay in the room, sun commes in and temperature is so so hot. No air conditioning. Small ventilators can be rented for 3€ per night... But it doesnt change anything. Staff is not kind at all. Check out at 10am. Dont go, at least in summer.

    Rooms were incredibly hot and quite dirty. No cutlery or Pots and pans for the kitchen. Good water pressure for the shower though

  • 1/5 Madelon S. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff is direct but friendly, but the kitchen was useless as it had absolutely nothing to cook or eat with (which is very strange for a hostel where you expect to cook your own food but there are no plates/utensils/knives/cutting boards etc). We asked for plates and forks/knives but received dirty ones, which had to be washed with shampoo since there’s not even soap or a sponge in the kitchen. The room was incredibly hot and blood stains on the pillowcase. Also we woke up to water leaking from the ceiling in our room. The bathroom is covered in mould and not clean at all. Aside from the staff, terrible hostel (if you can call it this) and would not recommend. Disappointing :(

    It’s nice but very warm for no reason the fridges are the radiators of the room and the shower door fell almost off but it is a great vibe

  • 1/5 Daria G. 1 year ago on Google
    The room was spacious and pretty BUT the bathroom was absolutely g r o s s. Hair clogging the drain, mold, dust, residue and rust. All I can say is: disgusting.

  • 5/5 Luna 1 year ago on Google
    It's clean. THE staff is friendly. Room is big and nice. Toilet is clean and 🛁 is really big with 2 sinks. It's not very noisy.

  • 1/5 Aseel A. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst service ever!! Whatever happens to you, whatever you need they will reply in a rude way! The girl who answers the phone will say to you, what do you want? I have a lot of people standing in front of me, like she works in a hospitality place and she answers the phone like that!! So disappointed!! Hope to change the team or at least give them some trainings to how to work under pressure without disrespecting people!!! Plus, the rooms are supeeerrr hotttt that you can’t handle in summer.

    (Translated by Google) The only thing that was positive here was the price and the easy access to public transport. We were a long weekend in Budapest. We found our hostel in a dark side street. The reception looked very untidy and chaotic. The staff is nice ... but that doesn't help much with the overall impression. The rooms were not dirty but dusty. The hygiene area was a disaster. Toilet and bathroom very dirty and moldy. There was no window and smelled extremely musty of mold. You don't want to take a shower with shoes on either. The entrance area and bathroom / toilet are shared with the room neighbor. For me, that didn't quite come out of the description on the Internet. Not so pleasant if you don't know how to plan your morning hygiene early on. The wifi didn't work properly either. Unfortunately, this accommodation spoiled our stay in Budapest. We kept trying to take humor. (Original) Das einzige was hier positiv war, war der Preis und die gute Anbindung an die Öffentlichen. Wir waren ein langes WE in Budapest. In einer dunklen Nebengasse fanden wir dann unser Hostel. Der Empfang sah schon sehr unaufgeräumt und chaotisch aus. Das Personal zwar nett.. aber das hilft beim Gesamteindruck auch nicht viel. Die Zimmer waren nicht schmutzig aber verstaubt. Der Hygienebereich war eine Katastrophe. Toilette und Badezimmer sehr schmutzig und schimmelig. Es gab kein Fenster und roch extrem muffig nach Schimmel. Da möchte man auch nicht mit Schuhen duschen gehen.. Den Eingangsbereich und Bad/Toilette teilt man sich mit dem Zimmernachbar. Das kam für mich aus der Beschreibung im Internet nicht ganz hervor. Nicht so das angenehmste wenn man nicht weiß wie man sich frühs die Zeitplanung für die Morgenhygiene machen soll.. Das WLAN hat auch nicht vernünftig funktioniert. Diese Unterkunft hat unseren Aufenthalt in Budapest leider getrübt. Wir habens hält versucht mit Humor zu nehmen.

    (Translated by Google) Positive points: room in good condition, inexpensive, 10 minutes from the tram / metro. Cons: Extremely dirty, sheets had dried blood, hair and other grime when I arrived. The neighborhood is not that great, it sucks a bit late at night. No equipment (toilet paper, towel, soap ...), a kitchen but no equipment so useless Conclusion: to take if you have nothing else, the stay there is far from pleasant (Original) Points positifs : chambre en bon état, pas cher, à 10 mn du tram/metro. Points négatifs : extrêmement sale, les draps avaient du sang séché, des cheveux et autres saletés à mon arrivée. Le quartier est pas terrible, ça craint un peu tard le soir. Aucun materiel (papier toilette, serviette, savon...), une cuisine mais pas d'équipement donc inutile Conclusion : a prendre si vous n'avez rien d'autre, le séjour passé là bas est loin d'être agréable

    (Translated by Google) Good receptionists, clean rooms, good prices, precision. (Original) Jófej recepciósok, tiszta szobák, jó árak, precizitás.

  • 1/5 Fabien M. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Rooms well equipped but the cleanliness leaves much to be desired. The area is very doubtful but the positive point is the possibility of parking your vehicle in an underground car park and monitored at average 10 euros for 24 hours. Good for a "stopover" stay but no more. (Original) Chambres bien équipées mais la propreté laisse franchement à désirer. Le quartier est très douteux mais le point positif est la possibilité de stationner son véhicule dans un parking sous terrain et surveillé moyennement 10 euros pour 24 heures. Bien pour un séjour "etape" mais pas plus.

    Very bad Hostel, unfriendly staff and low standards. For two days they weren’t able to give me a towel for rent. When I asked for the third time if they have washed the towels so I could rent one, the front desk girl was rude and disrespectful. Do not waste your money with this terrible place.

  • 1/5 Eva N. 4 years ago on Google
    The bathroom was absolutely disgusting. I really wouldn't expect that in a room you pay 50EUR/night for! Our shower was clogged and didn't drain the water - absolutely disgusting. We told the receptionists 3 times. After 2 days it still didn't work so I was already a bit angry and went to the reception to get some hydroxide - the answer? There is no hydroxide in the building, we had another problem like this a couple days ago, looked for the hydroxide and didn't find any. Come on, you can buy this thing in a drugstore for like 2 EUR!

    Hotel's staff is a lie man. He lied to take more money from me. Everyone shouldn't come here.
