Beautiful old building with great transport links and walk ability! We also appreciated the fully equipped kitchen and friendly owner who was happy to answer all our questions.
The one thing to note is that the “budget double” room which we’d booked doesn’t feature in the photos on the listing and it’s quite a bit smaller than the others with a mezzanine bed that got very warm in the summer.

The property was in a great location and the all of the facilities were clean. Free amenities were provided in the kitchen and bathroom- both of which were handy and appreciated by my group and I. The owner, Judit, provided clear and helpful communication throughout. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick weekend get away!
We had a slight issue with the slacks under the bed falling through, but Judit sorted this out the next morning.

the room we got is with bathroom attached, complete facilities . although the room is kind old with old furnitures.nice host , freeindly and kind that goes all out to help .nice kitchen with stoves with some free coffee.excellent wifi
No TV , but i can understand if there isnt ,its not like they will have english channels anyways. its located just beside a club , with sometimes loud music , but we could tolerate. the elevator is like from the 70's and small. as we went up to the apartment, it was dark and looks like post world war z.lol the bathroom do not have a curtain and showerstand at the bath tub,

The artfully decorated apartment faces a quiet lane and has a full kitchen and two bedrooms, one with a separate bathroom and shower and one without. We stayed at the one without but we have access to the bath and toilet in the common area basically all to our own. The location is excellent, with many attractions in walking distance and many supermarkets and shops literally downstairs. The hosts were very helpful and friendly and provided excellent information on how to enjoy the city. Because of the insider knowledge, we got to follow the lead of the locals and hangout at the racetrack for the new year's eve. It was an amazing experience.
The dishwasher had some issues but it was not really a problem.

I had a very comfortable stay, not only because of the facilities, but also because of Judit's help in advising me at all times on how to enjoy Budapest's attractions. I am very grateful to her and I fully recommend her hostal.

Great location, amazing host. Hard to do better for the price
Bed was a bit short for me (190cm) but nothing major, it's really if I had to find one negative thing

The room was amazing!. It was very clean and spacious. The kitchen we had access to was well equipped. The location could not have been better. It was close to airport transportation, supermarkets, public transportation, nice bars & restaurants plus city's attractions. Judit and Bendi are wonderful hosts. Very friendly and helpful at all times. I highly recommend this place for a nice stay in Budapest.

There was a ton of room. It was so nice to stretch out after spending the week before in hostel dorms. Everything seemed clean and well-maintained in the room.
If you do self-check in, it feels a little like doing an escape room (but I had fun figuring it out). With fingernails, I had a hard time with the tub stopper (again, super minor thing).
