We understand backpackers' gripes with hostels and traveling so with 4 itchy-footed staff members who have 22 years experience between them and have all fallen in love with Budapest and want to pass their passion on to others, we have decided upon several things that are important for us:
Orthopaedic mattresses (no more springs or sleepless nights).
Beds made for you when you arrive.
Air Conditioning.
24 hour check in.
Free breakfast included.
Laundry service available.
Native English speaking, well traveled staff.
But the thing we do best, and the reason our guests tend to extend their stay with us, is because more than anything we want you to have the best time in Budapest as possible. We have a fully operating tours desk, which doesn't mean a soulless face behind a desk, it means finding out what you wanna do, and getting it sorted for you; from cheap opera tickets, caving tours, walking tours, pub crawls (with 2 in house pub tour guidesÂ…we have done the research for you), day trips to places in Hungary, trips to the thermal bathsÂ… you name it, and we will organise it for you, if not come along too.
We want you to feel as involved as possible so we organise weekly events such as
Monday night roast dinners
Pub crawls several times a week
Trips as a hostel to the baths, markets, walking tours, wherever the group wants us to take them
If you want to have a mad stay, we can arrange it for you, but we also understand that people need a good night's sleep, so we make sure the party has left the building by late o' clock so you can get your well deserved rest too.
We also know what it is like traveling on a backpacker's budget which is why we have sought out all the places you can eat drink, and visit on the cheap.. anywhere we recommend will be places we can afford to go to as well and we will try and save you money wherever possible, we have even negotiated free drinks and offers at local places for our guests!
The hostel itself is newly renovated apartment in an 100 year old house and has all the character and personal touches you could want from a hostel, loads of communal space with bean bags and a bespoke made corner sofa to chill out on, murals painted on our walls by up and coming UK artists, a huge painting of Budapest with all our favourite places marked on.
As well as all of this, we are perfectly located, no, really! We are tucked away on a quiet well-lit cobbled street just a few steps from the nearest pubs, bars, restaurants, clubs, shops, shopping malls. Public transport couldn't be easier (although you should be walking everywhere), we are located between the blue and orange metro lines, we have a trolley-bus route on our doorstep and the world's busiest tram route is at the bottom of the road! We have a direct link from the airport, as we are just 2 streets from Nyugati station and metro stop and from Keleti station (the international train station) so getting to us should be a lot easier than leaving us!
Within 10 minutes walk you can see the sights such as:
The Danube
Margit Island
Parliament
St Stephen's Basilica
House of Terror
Oktogon
Everything else is easily reachable on public transport, we will advise of the easiest, most efficient and cheapest routes.
We want everyone to understand why we love it here so much, so if you feel you want to meet people and actually FEEL Budapest rather than tick boxes on a sight seeing chart, then come and stay with us!
P.s. Our staff are from England, Ireland and Australia who occasionally miss certain things form home. If you can think of anything to bring out which would put a smile on our faces (or potentially knock a Euro or two off your stay) please email us!
conditions: Our rooms are all slightly different in size, character and type of beds. We have named them after our favourite local bars which all have something a bit different that we love about Budapest bar culture.
