Wonderful

A four night break at an apartment here and it was an ideal location for us. A warm welcome from the team after a late flight and close to the centre of the city. Highly reccomend and we'll hopefully be back
The hostel is decorated imaginatively, the staff is extremely helpful, providing anything you request if it is available. Only 2 downsides:
1. It is a very old building with no elevator. If you can't walk 4 flights of stairs, this isn’t the place for you.
2. They do NOT take credit cards, even though all the booking websites say they do.They only accept cash or wire transfer and they only let you know this on the day of check-in. They also list the price in euros instead of the local currency. That being said, they are very relaxed about the payment, giving us ample time to get to a bank and withdrawing the money. All things considered I would stay there again.
One last thing: the building entrance can be hard to find. Just look for the Museum of Failure; it's just to the left.
Very cute and comfy. The staff was sweet and helpful.
The front entry is marked with a small sign that's easy to miss on first glance and there are lots of stairs to climb.

I love this hostel. I ended up having the room by myself. I like the way how they designed the hostel. The receptionist that helped me check in is Anita. Very nice lady
Close to everything.
Fabulous Hostel in a great location. The decor is very unique and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. Being an older couple newish to hostels, it's always a little worrying what you arrive to..... But Lavender Circus 🎪❤️ you were fantastic in every way. Absolutely adored our stay here. Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic stay with a great and friendly staff! The location for the price can't be beaten, I would absolutely stay again for my next trip to Budapest! Such wonderful charm.

This hotel is decorated in such a fun and interesting way. The room was very comfortable and spacious. The only downside is there is no lift, and quite a lot of stairs.
This is a nice no frills hostel, the desk people are nice and friendly. The decor is cool. Others have noted that it’s a third floor walk up and the walk up isn’t lit, I didn’t think that was too bad at all, you have some light from the street so it’s not pitch dark by any means. Good location and close to all transportation. Not shabby by any means but definitely no frills, I would say if it’s a deal for you at the time of booking then do it. Only thing is that the private rooms don’t have an option for a private bathroom, only the larger apartments have that option.
It was a nice clean place in a good location. However, staff were nowhere to be found. The hostel is top floor as well so there are many steps so be prepared for that. The window in our room was covered by a curtain way too small so people could easily look in.
Overall, the place is ok. Probably wouldn't stay again.
