Great but hard to find.
This is more an apartment/loft instead of a hostel, which is great for a group of people traveling. As you have the space to yourself. The place is clean and fairly comfortable. The hosts give you a lot a of great advice about the city and are very helpful if you need to book a car to the airport or train station. However it's very hard to find as there is no sign. We found it by looking at the address names on the side of the doorways. So I would suggest the owners invest in some sort of sign.

Perfectly adequate, but area seemed a bit sketchy, told we had to triple lock to be safe. Spiral staircase was wobbly, so quite dangerous. Although an apartment for ourselves was nice and they pointed out where to go, we didn't need as a member of our group had gone before. Also not that cheap compared to other places we stayed. When checking in we were made to wait by someone who didn't speak English in the open courtyard

Hodnocení pro Happy hostel Budapešť.
S ubytováním jsme byli spokojeni, perfektně zařízená kuchyň - 2x koupelna s WC, čisto, hodně blízko ke Kateřinskému mostu. - Výborná poloha. Nedá se parkovat, musí se přejet na parkoviště.

In fact, the hostel is good and nice with the fairy cheap room rate. However, there are bars and pub nearby, big noise make us feel uncomfortable. Besides that, there is no reception downstairs, all we can do is to dial or send emails to reception if any problem. The big advantage is the location, the hostel is close to metro and shopping area.

Apartamento céntrico con muy buen trato
Lo mejor es que está muy bien situado y que te dan mucha información útil y práctica. Tuvimos un problema con el agua caliente y lo solucionaron rápidamente. Si buscáis un apartamento con todo lo necesario, bien situado y a buen precio, este es el sitio.

geweldige plek in centrum en bezienswaardigheden.
de plek was geweldig, dicht bij winkelstraat en heel veel bezienswaardigheden. mooi groot appartement met bijna alles wat je nodig hebt, al was het niet het appartement dat we op de foto's hadden gezien. er was 1 klein minpuntje, nl de verwarming deed het niet echt goed. ze waren alleen maar een beetje lauw. dat was jammer want de temperaturen waren onder het vriespunt toen wij er waren.

Nice apartment located in the heart of Budapest
This was the perfect apartment for our group of 5 traveling to Budapest to celebrate New Year's Eve. The location was perfect with walking distance to many places and also great connections like metro and tram just around the corner. In the beginning the apartment was very cold, so we came from freezing outside to a freezing inside. Luckily the heaters slowly heated the whole apartment up, so in some days we had a nice temperature inside. A minus was the weak shower beam and the weak wifi that could disappear from time to time. We also had to remind them to give us some soap to the bathroom and more toilet paper (we had only 1 roll for 5 days). The kitchen was quite poorly equipped with no scissors and only two food knifes, so for the price we payed we were expecting sligthly more. Despite all that, we are really satisfied with our pick of hostel and would probably stay there again next time!

五顆星
交通很便利,地鐵站出來大約三分鐘就到,對於拖行李的旅人很適合,而且附近的公車電車也很多,離景點很近,瓦芡街和中央市場用走的就會到,而且靠地鐵站的換匯點(在十字路口交叉口,旁邊大一間很大的鞋店)匯率是在布達佩斯繞一圈最高的 住宿的房間很棒,整理得乾淨整齊,而且廚房的設備很齊全,床舖雖然是上下層的,但是卻是我旅行歐洲一個月睡最舒服的,一開始交付房間鑰匙時,老闆也很貼心的準備地圖,幫我整個介紹佩達佩斯的景點/交通/超市等,也送我們免費的啤酒兌換券和商店折扣券,這裡的服務這麼好,房價又是超便宜,所以給他五顆星!

abbondante...
Il proprietario ci ha dato una camera da 6, nonostante fossimo solo in 2, perchè aveva la disponibilità, sensa chiederci nulla in più. Inoltre ci ha aspettato che parcheggiassimo l'auto e portassimo i bagagli per darci tante di quelle informazioni che la metà sono andate perse.
