perfect location and great place to stay
I had a great stay at Gaia hostel, lovely big clean room and easy access to the bathrooms. Judit is a fantastic host, really friendly with great suggestions about where to visit. The hostel itself is in a fantastic location, right by Astoria so easy to get on transport and easy to walk around the Pest area.

Great location
Great location in the inner city. The upscale tourist places are toward the river, while the entertainment district is inland. The staff are very helpful and the rooms are comfortable, although not soundproof.

It was hot but still enjoyed it overall.
Wonderful staff. The hostel is small and it's on the 4th floor of an old building but there is an elevator. Despite the fact that it's small we didn't really run into the other guests and never had to wait for showers or toilets which was good. The only thing our double room was small and didn't have air con and it was around 36 degrees when we went so sometimes had trouble sleeping because it was too hot. There was a small fan thing that didn't work so we left the windows open which made it loud and still didn't really help cause no breeze blew in and the bathrooms got really hot. Though it's really close to the metro and to shops and supermarkets. The bus from the airport drops you off just around the corner so it's handy. And they let us check out late which was awesome.

The manager/owner did everything she could to make my stay comfortable and memorable. It is clear that many people return here again and again. Of course, there is no AC, so people using it in summer are taking a chance that it is not too hot. It was fine while I was there, 85 F in the day 65 F at night.

The hostel is very unique and a lot of thought has gone into it. Free stuff in the bathroom and kitchen. The room was very cosy. The shutters were broken during our stay and staff came to fix. It is in a good location. I think the only problem is getting in, the lift is a little different but overall it was a great stay
