Really a great place to stay

Rendezett háló és hangulatos belső udvar..a recepción pedig kedvesek és segítőkészek voltak.

Elfogadható

Superbe endroit, dommage que des rénovations on du me faire quitter, mais cest surment pour le mieux

We had a great experience staying at this hostel. It was very rare to be greeted by a friendly face in Budapest, but the young lady at this hostel's reception truly made us feel welcome. Thank you so much for welcoming us, taking an interest in our country and for sharing insights about your country. I liked that the dorms had curtains and there were 2 toilets and two showers inside the door. The lockers had ample space. The garden area was big and so was the kitchen and dining area. Note that the kitchen doesn't have a stove though. Thank you to the receptionist and the maintenance attendant who were kind enough to organize a laptop charger for me when I couldn't find an adapter since the stores were closed for the holidays. It was a very kind gesture and I'm truly grateful. Thank you for making provision for a clothes drying rack as well. I will definitely stay here again when in Budapest, the hospitality was truly amazing and heartwarming. Thank you.

Pros:
+ Very good location!!! A lot of nice restaurants and street food stalls are nearby
+ Very spacious even in 12-bed room, with a big locker
+ with hot water in shower rooms
+ the cleaner is very nice. She noticed me put a lot of clothes on top of my blanket when she cleaned the room in the morning. She gave a one more blanket.
+ one charger plug by bedside

Cons:
- I felt itchy when I slept. I felt the blanket was not that clean and too thin
- no hook in shower room
- no stove in kitchen. Only 2 microwaves.
- boiling kettles are not clean. Dare not to use

Nice staff

They cancel my reservation

Ho soggiornato un paio di notti in una camera privata, per quanto spartana era pulitissima e non mancava nulla! Anche nel resto della struttura ho notato una pulizia impeccabile! Sono stato molto molto soddisfatto dei ragazzi alla reception che hanno risposto a tutte le mie domande e risolto tutti i miei problemi con gentilezza e professionalità, molti complimenti allo staff!

Muito acolhedor

Had great experience at this hostel. Overwall was almost the cheapest in the town (or at least that central area). Everyone was friendly and we enjoyed the paintings

Esta vez me alojé en habitación cuádruple, cómoda al igual que las dobles. Tiene locker privado y las camas son confortables. El desayuno cuesta 8 euros y es abundante. El baño es amplio, shampoo, jabón y toallas incluidas al menos en este tipo de habitación.

1、没有被套和枕头套，被子和枕头都是多次使用过的，很不卫生。2、 厨房无法做饭，只有微波炉。3、 12个床的房间太吵了！其中两个人深夜聊天！4、长头发的前台男生太粗鲁了！

There are bedbugs!

Esta ubicado cerca de las atracciones. Se puede ir a todos lados caminando. Tiene restaurantes y bares alrededor. Es limpio y cómodo.

Nope.

Don't stay there unless you want to punish yourself on something that you've done. There are plenty of other options around, seriously. Just skip this one.

Great hostel for such a low price in the city center ????????
I liked everything.

I stayed for two weeks for the first time in the summer of 2022. It was very clean and the location was great. I visited again this fall and stayed for four nights. The private room was even proactively cleaned every day! Thank you so much ????

This is a simple hostel that is basic with a good location. The service from staff ranges to ok to fairly good (the guy with the longer black hair was the best and most helpful staff I interacted with). The breakfast buffet does leave something to be desired. Would be improved if staff could keep flies off the food (use a plastic cover?). I appreciated access to the kitchen and eating utensils. The hostel could use a bit of an upgrade at least in terms of color scheme. Just a coat of fresh paint in more contemporary colors (ditch the sea green), some wall art and modern (even if second hand) furniture could refresh the look.

My main gripe is unfortunately I have to report that the place does have bed bugs. On my second night/third morning, I woke up with several bites on my ankle, thigh and arm. I started reacting very strongly to the bites that continued to develop into major rashes and itching that left my skin extremely tender. There was a sign in the elevator that mentioned that "maintenance spraying" would take place in a few days, so I don't think this is the hostels first encounter with this issue.

My recommendation would be to remove the old, ugly "headboards" for each bed that are secured to the wall. Because they are so old, there are thin gaps between the boards and the wall, but because they are permanently adhered to the wall, spraying and checking for pests can't be done. The bugs are probably hiding back there because I didn't see evidence of them on the mattress (which was covered with a mattress protector). FYI, mattress protectors do not prevent bed bugs, they prevent infestation of the mattress by bed bugs, which will just hide elsewhere.

Housekeeping needs to also vacuum every room at every turnover EVERY TIME to get any eggs. Finally, get rid of the old soft, upholstered furniture and get some hard plastic furniture, even it it's cheap. No doubt bugs were hiding in the cracks of those cushions. The chair in my room was ragged, dusty and at least 10 years old. It looked like free furniture you find on a street curb.
Hope the hostel resolves this issue. It was otherwise ok for the price.

Overall good only Required a major improvement on the soundproofing..

Very friendly and courteous staff. All clean and nice. Only setback is the room's poor sound proofing where You can literally hear next room's shower/flushing sound
