"In general a very good experience. The staff was very quick to reply and solve an issue with my booking. The hostel isn't the most modern but kept tidy and has some of the most convenient beds I've seen in a hostel- a privacy curtain, sturdy ladder in the middle, convenient shelf both sides of the mattrace to prevent personal belongings from falling off or getting stuck between the frame and the bed. The locker in the room was generous, although the screws on the lock were a bit wobbly and used...

"I don't usually stay in hostels - I was in Budapest for the Champions League final and hotels were crazy prices, so I gave a hostel a shot. It was much more comfortable than I'd imagined, and also extremely cool and quirky in its layout. The communal areas area ample and the bed was comfy. It is well located next to the city park and a nearby metro station. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful too."
