Hostels in Pest, Hungary

The location was good and the staff was very friendly. You can drop off your luggage before checking in, and after checking out you can leave it stored while you explore the city. 😃😃😃 If you stay in the bottom bunk, there's no problem. In my case, I stayed in the top bunk, and the only thing I didn't like was that at night, when someone turned on the light, there was no way to ignore it because there wasn't a curtain to help block it out completely.

Although I initially had a bit of an unpleasant experience, I later found a solution myself. The hostel itself has excellent facilities; the location is great, and the surrounding area is nice. The corridor walls are very unique, painted stark white, very clean, and almost cave-like.

This hotel excels in cost performance, location, and service. Pros: ・Room and Bed: Very clean and air-conditioned. I was able to sleep soundly. ・Bathroom: The toilet, sink, and shower room were clean. The shower pressure was also appropriate. ・Staff & Service: The front desk staff were kind and courteous. The free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out was very convenient. ・Lobby Environment: The area around the front desk was clean, and I was able to wait comfortably until my departure time even after checking out. ・Location: About a 10-minute walk from the station. There are many delicious restaurants and hawker centers nearby, making it an excellent location. Cons: ・I was a bit concerned about a slight odor from the bathroom drain. If that could be improved, it would be a perfect score. Overall, it offers excellent value for money and is a highly recommended hotel as a base for sightseeing.

One thing really upset me! The blinds in my room were broken. I reported it that same day, and the Macedonian guy told me the maintenance worker wouldn't be in until Monday. So, on Monday, I told the front desk again. The Hungarian guy there promised it would be fixed that day, but it never was. Later, when I spoke to the Macedonian guy about it, he immediately snapped back, saying he had told maintenance that they finished work at 4 PM. I thought to myself, 'Does he really need to be that angry?' Maybe his colleague didn't inform him, but it's certainly not my fault. Afterward, when I asked to change rooms, the Macedonian guy had a very impatient attitude! I think that Macedonian guy's customer service skills need some training! And one of the elevators is always out of order…

It’s location is close to the tram line and some shops and restaurants. Also, staff in the hotel is super welcoming. Highly recommended. One last thing I like about is the locker they provide for each guest in the room - very spacious- two suit cases could fit in and there are drawers to store more things so you don’t need to keep opening your suitcase.

They were very attentive. I arrived early in the morning and dropped off my luggage. They kindly offered me a complimentary breakfast, which was great. The room was a bit small, but it wasn't an issue at all. They even helped me out after check-out. Thank you, Avenue!

## Ambiance: The hotel boasts a lovely inner courtyard and a nice backyard. The lobby is also quite spacious, offering plenty of common areas and pleasant background music. ## Room: 1. I opted for a double bed room, which felt a bit cramped. It was roughly 15 square meters, not very comfortable, poorly ventilated, and lacking in natural light. However, it was a good price for a solo traveler. 2. The room window couldn't open fully, only a small slit, and it was a tall, narrow window. There was air conditioning in the room. 3. The bathroom did have some noise, as the exhaust fan seemed to be constantly on, but it was acceptable. It had a wet/dry separation, and the bathroom itself was spacious, though the shower stall felt a bit tight when closing the door. There was a hairdryer, and typical of European bathrooms, the trash cans were quite small. 4. I recall the room desk being small. The bed appeared to be two 2-meter by 0.9-meter beds pushed together. ## Service: The hotel staff were quite enthusiastic. ## Location: Hostels are typically in city centers, and this one has a decent location. There were even scooters outside the entrance, and nearby, there were snack shops open late at night, attracting many young people.

The location is very good and convenient. There are many restaurants, fast food and Lidl is just round the corner. Metro and bus stops are in front of the hostel. On the contrary to the good things, the hostel doesn't provide any toiletries. Not even a small piece of soap. The most inconvenient is that the bathroom is outside the room, and there's only one toilet! When checkout, the visitor has to clear the bedsheet and bring it down to the reception. With all the pros and cons, it really depends on what one needs. If it's just to have a place for a short stay, it's not bad at all.

Cons: 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.

Pros: - Clean hostel with comfortable mattresses. - Great location near many bars, cafés, and restaurants. I especially enjoyed Gettó Gulyás nearby. - Only an eight-minute walk from Astoria M, where the airport bus stops. - I was able to check in early for just €5, which was very helpful after almost 24 hours without sleep. Cons: - The metal beds are a little squeaky. - The air conditioning was too cold, and there was no remote control in the room. You have to ask for it at reception. - The reception staff did not seem very friendly, although I arrived early in the morning, so they may have been tired. Overall, it is a good hostel, and I was happy with my stay. I would recommend it. It will be satisfying
