Great location. Located in the city and many shops around. You can get anywhere walking 20-30 minutes. Nice for exploring. The private rooms are nice. Room space is good for single travelers or even two people. Clean room. Front desk are also nice and helpful. Worth the money.
Very satisfied with my stay in this hostel. Has everything I expected cleanliness, location, ease of transportation to all places of interest, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets everywhere. It is in a party district with the accompanied noise into the middle of the night but it did not affect my sleep at least for me without the need for ear plugs which the hostel provides if you need them. And staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
Terrace is awesome, staff friendly. Vacak the cat is awesome too. This hostel is a great option to spend some time on the island, had a good night sleep and it was clean. Often though staff can be missing from the reception during the stated reception hours, and nearby is more of a party scene with few quality dining options. The 400ft Costa coffee capsules aren't exactly good either, so there is some space for improvement compared to some of the newer hostels in town.

Did not sleep well here at all. There is no privacy in the room, it's not expensive or difficult to put up some sheets or curtains. Very poor effort. It's like sharing a room with your siblings all over again. Very thin walls too so the next door group kept us awake
It's supposed to be quiet after 10pm but they all late check in, as a result I was woken by 2am check ins. The socket next to my bed didn't work, neither did the lamp. The pillow is dreadful. The bed is ok. Window didn't close fully and no curtains so sunrise woke me up.
Excellent kitchen, comfortable lounge areas, 3 showers & 1 bathroom. All cleaned reasonably well. Check in was easy enough, she is very friendly.
The building is absolutely beautiful. The entrance is next to PIZZA ME and a money exchange/kebab store. Supermarkets nearby. Metro & tram nearby. It is in an excellent location.
It was cheap and actually good value, I just didn't sleep well
If you like privacy and quiet then maybe give this one a swerve
Good experience staying here. Comfortable bed and room. Gratefully, each bed in the dorm has a cover and a large locker, so you’ll have both privacy and security. The shower room is nice with stable hot water. The only downside is that there’s no AC in the room, so the window needs to be kept open. Since the room is next to the public area where people smoke and chat until midnight, the smell goes into the room (even though it’s a non-smoking room) and the noise can disturb your sleep.
The kitchen has a few refrigerators and two ovens. The only drawback is that there’s no stove, so you can only use the oven to warm up your food. There is an elevator that allows you to access each floor, so you don’t need to carry your luggage up the stairs
Overall, a good stay at an affordable price.
I can say this is the best hostel during my entire solo travel experience! The room was clean,the bathroom was spacious and clean as well,the bed was comfortable and (again) clean. Don't know it's because I stay in the female dorm or I was lucky enough to have clean ladies in my dorm,but my worrying mind about hostel was swept away by this hostel cleanliness provision. The bunk is more on box-like and it has curtains (it's clean too!). The front desk were hospitable enough and the interior was also nice. There were plenty of restaurants and supermarket nearby,so you have lots of choice to eat. Yet,you need to walk around 7-10 minutes to reach the nearest tram/bus/metro.And better you bring your own toiletries,though there was a micellar water free to use in the bathroom area. Will definitely go back to this hostel whenn I have a trip to Budapest, 1 night was not just enough.
Een mooi hotel in het centrum van Boedapest. Zeer toegankelijk voor tramlijnen 4 & 6 en dicht bij de metrostations. Kamer en gemeenschappelijke ruimte was schoon en het personeel was vriendelijk. Ik zou dit opnieuw reserveren op mijn volgende bezoek aan Boedapest.
one of the best hostels i've ever stayed in despite being so cheap! dry-wet separated bathroom equipped with shower cream and blow dryer, bed has curtains and an extra compartment for storage. the best part being free dinner at the hotel bar after spending €4 at the bar, as well as free breakfast. really friendly for a broke student traveller like me!
I stayed at three wombats on this trip (Munich and Vienna ) and this one is the best!!! There is air conditioning inside the room!! Can’t complain!!! I visited in summer time and it’s grateful to have A/C. Besides there is a little fan every bed just like in wombat Vienna. The bath room is great, lots of space to put your stuffs, with hair dryer as well. Room is big, full size mirror is a plus. Guest kitchen is big too and three big fridges with enough space to store food. Great location easy to get to metro/ airport bus. Most importantly affordable price!! Love my stay thank you ☺️
Het is begrijpelijk dat je niet vroeg kunt inchecken als je te vroeg gaat. Je moet om 15:00 uur inchecken, maar dat is niet mogelijk, zelfs niet als er meer dan 10 minuten voor de inchecktijd zijn. Maar de mensen die later kwamen, konden direct inchecken, maar ze konden niet op dat tijdstip inchecken. Ze vroegen me na meer dan een half uur nog steeds te wachten, en ze moesten boos worden voordat ze konden inchecken. Ik heb 's ochtends mijn bagage in het hotel opgeslagen en na het inchecken nam ik mijn bagage mee naar de kamer en ontdekte dat het wachtwoordslot niet open kon. Ik controleerde of ik niet het verkeerde wachtwoord had ingevoerd, en na een nadere blik bleek het wachtwoordslot kapot te zijn. Gelukkig was de andere koffer niet kapot, dus bracht ik de kapotte koffer naar de receptie. De receptionist antwoordde dat hij het niet wist en vroeg om de bewaking te controleren en kreeg te horen dat hij contact moest opnemen met de manager. De receptioniste bij de receptie heeft de relevante informatie op een stukje papier geschreven en tot op de dag van vandaag heeft niemand contact met mij opgenomen om mij te informeren over de afloop van de zaak.

Very Good
Yying NewtonI stayed at Marco Polo Hostel for one week after reading many positive reviews. Here’s my honest take:
📍 Location (10/10):
The location is perfect—right in the city center. It’s just a 5–8 minute walk from both Metro 2 (where the hostel is) and Metro 3 / Deak Ferenc Ter (for the 100E airport bus). Couldn’t ask for better.
👋 First Impression & Check-in:
I arrived early at 9 AM on Christmas Day (Dec 25), well before the 2 PM check-in. A friendly staff member (chubby, helpful) allowed me to leave my luggage in the storage room—a very kind gesture that started my stay on a positive note. When I returned to check in, there was a small confusion about my booking (I accidentally booked for 2 people in a 12-bed dorm instead of 1), but the staff handled it calmly and professionally. They also helped sort out a postal code issue for my Hong Kong details—thank you!
🛏 Room & Sleep:
I was assigned beds 3 & 4 in a 2nd-floor dorm. The bunk beds are subdivided, offering decent privacy. Noise was minimal—maybe 10–15 minutes of understandable movement here and there, but nothing disruptive. Most guests were European ( students, southeast Asians and Europeans) staying short-term. Male and female dorms are separate.
🚿 Bathrooms & Facilities:
All showers worked perfectly—good hot/cold water. Remember to bring your own towel and toiletries. As a backpacker, I was prepared, but it’s worth noting.
🍞 Breakfast:
Available for 3200 HUF. Simple but satisfying—fresh, hand-made bread was delicious. I’ve never eaten so much bread in my life, and I mean that in a good way!
💧 Water & Extras:
Bottled water is available for 500 HUF. The friendly slim staff even gave me a discount when I bought five bottles. Tap water in Hungary is drinkable, so you can refill if you prefer. I also appreciated the staff’s fluency in English—communication was never an issue.
🔑 Small Issues Handled Well:
Once I locked myself out of my room, and they promptly lent me a spare key. My key card occasionally failed, but they fixed it in under a minute. The team is flexible and quick to help.
❤ Nice Touch:
During check-in, the staff introduced a charity donation for kids in Hungary. I donated for the first time here—felt good to contribute.
📌 Final Tips:
Read the house rules posted near the counter. Bring your own toiletries and towel. The hostel is well-run, clean, and staffed by helpful, English-speaking professionals.
✅ Overall:
Great value for money, excellent location, and genuinely helpful staff. I’d happily stay again and recommend it to fellow travelers. I will definitely come back here for my solo travel!
@@travel_with_the_sunI had a great stay. The staff is very friendly and check-in is quick. Rooms & bathrooms are very clean. Housekeeping is doing a good job. The internet speed is very satisfying. I enjoy the kitchen, which offers plenty of space, well equipped and it even has an oven. I stayed there several times and like it very much. Location is also great, very central and you have all you need just nearby (supermarket, restaurants, snacks/fast-food...)
There could be some more activities initiated by the hostel to get people connected. Like cooking, boardgame night, etc...There is a WhatsApp Group, but at the moment I joined the group there were no activities/ chats in the 5 days I've been there.
@@travel_with_the_sunVery chaotic and confusing check-in process. Arrived before check-in and got registered, just needed to get my key at check-in time. So far so good. At check-in time I am directed to an iPad terminal to register with with my name and my booking number from the accommodation, not then one on the booking portal, which I've no clue which it is. After me struggling to look-up this number out of countless CRM-emails I received from the Hostel the friendly staff member, looked up my name in the guest list, went back to the receptionist desk to check my check-in amd got my key card to my room.
Arrived in the room it didn't matched with the category and pictures I booked. Went back down to the reception, who fixed it. All this took a lot of time and not to mention all the Welcoming and Info-e-mails you receive from Maverick's at any occasion of the ”customer journey” process.
To the management and marketing folks there: Keep your check-in process simple. Your visitors are offered to pre-check-in online or at an iPad terminal in the lobby, just to end up queuing again at the reception to identify yourself again, pay the tourist tax or get their key card. It's nonsense. Have a vending machine spitting out the keycard for those cases. Just keep the regular check-in process as anywhere else directly at the reception with showing your passport etc... Stop these insane amount of email at every step of the customer journey, no-one needs this ot also makes it difficult to find one's relevant booking information.
Let's come to the positive part.
Staff is friendly and helpful.
My room was very nice, clean and comfortable, it was a good deal to. Good internet. The kitchen is great, well equipped and a nice place to connect with people. Free coffee and tea, also a water dispenser in the lobby - great!
There are many free activities organized by the hostel, we had a wine tasting for free and it was nice to talk to other guest there. Location is central, where you'll find all you need, even mini marts open 24/7. Free locker before and after check-in.
AAnonymous UserI had a very pleasant stay at this hostel. The location is excellent, with easy access to public transportation, restaurants, shops, and major attractions, making it very convenient for travelers.
The hostel was exceptionally clean and well-maintained throughout my stay. The rooms and common areas were spotless, which made the environment comfortable and welcoming.
The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or requests. The atmosphere was relaxed and suitable for both solo travelers and groups.
Overall, this hostel offers great value for money with its outstanding location, high standards of cleanliness, and excellent service. I would definitely recommend it and would happily stay here again.
CCabbiehkI recently stayed here and was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience. This hostel strikes a perfect balance between functionality, cleanliness, and location.
Location & Accessibility
The location is a major highlight. It is exceptionally well-connected to the city’s transport network, with trams, metro lines, and buses all within easy reach. Getting around the city was seamless. Additionally, the surrounding area is vibrant and packed with dining options, especially if you are a fan of brunch spots.
Facilities & Room Features
The hostel is incredibly well-organized. One of the best features is the storage
Big Lockers:There is more than enough space to securely store large suitcases, which is often a rarity in hostels.
Cleanliness:The shared bathrooms were consistently clean.
Amenities: I appreciated the inclusion of shower gel and the availability of hair dryers, making the stay much more comfortable They also provide ear plugs at the corridor to ensure a good sleep. .
Food & Social Atmosphere
There is an on-site bar that serves as a great social hub. They provide a solid breakfast to start your day and offer a good selection of beer in the evenings. It’s a convenient spot to relax without having to head back out after a long day of sightseeing.
This hostel is definitely value for money.. If you're looking for an organized, clean, and perfectly situated base for your travels, I highly recommend it.
VVasiliki Nefeli LagoudakiI stayed at Avenue for a month. Overall a value for money option with smart design, ready-to-assist employees at a very nice central location where you can get the Budapest vibes in an affordable economically - and more sociable - way. It is very convenient also that it has box locks inside the bed cabin. It is particular useful for professionals with devices n paperwork so as not to stress over the security of your personal items. A very functional n esthetically pleasant design. Vasiliki-Nefeli Lagoudaki, architect engineer NTUA, MsC
XXindawutaidadashuThis is a chain hotel with a consistent style, suitable for all ages. We were allowed to check in before 2 PM, which was a nice touch. Our room was on the top floor and the window could be adjusted for ventilation. There's a restaurant, and I saw a buffet in the evening. The front desk staff were very welcoming.
JJoe0412Did not sleep well here at all. There is no privacy in the room, it's not expensive or difficult to put up some sheets or curtains. Very poor effort. It's like sharing a room with your siblings all over again. Very thin walls too so the next door group kept us awake

GGuest UserCons: Not so great initially - strong smell on the room, noise on the street but sorted out quickly. Thanks to prompt action by the management. In most of my stay, floor on the shared bathroom is always wet and no proper ventilation. Lockers are outside the bedrooms so it’s worth having a spare bag for some essential items that you need to keep next to you. Duvet slightly short for tall person. My roommate’s bed was creaking loudly even with simple movement.
Pros: Near bus stop and metro station. Near to the popular thermal bath - Széchenyi, and tourist spots Heroes’ Square. Accommodating reception.
Things to improve: Proper ventilation and floor rug in the bathroom. Long duvet, cleaner bedsheets and duvet cover and pillow.
Overall: If you stay most of the time outside and it’s okay. Main gate always open, occupants got a key for main door but most of time it’s also open. I guess for the price, you get what you paid for.
JJoe0412Not a hostel to get any sleep in. But excellent for the airport bus.
Hostel is on a busy main road, lots of traffic noise. Privacy curtains aren't well attached and don't block enough light. The beds are incredibly noisy and the room was hot and stuffy. Sheets not cleaned
Service was excellent. The man was so so friendly and kind. Kitchen well equipped. Free tea & coffee. Shower very basic and toilet was good. Just 2 showers and toilets for many people. ...
100E bus is 2 mins away. Metro, tram and bus all nearby. Tone of food options. Wifi was ok
Towel is 3 euros to rent. Bring your own padlock
