6-person female dorm is a spacious room with a huge bathroom. Mine was on the 3rd floor facing a side alley and at night it was quiet. Can be a bit messy depending on roommates, but nice after cleaning. Every bed has blackout curtains, a power outlet, a lamp, a mini air conditioner and a code-opening safe (with two additional power outlets inside). Everyone also has a personal locker that opens with the key card.
There is a large public area to hang out (with a pool table, bar and a coffee shop), laundry rooms and a shared kitchen, which is pretty well-equipped: three fridges, three induction stoves, microwave, kettle, toaster and plenty of kitchenware. Once again, it is great right after cleaning, but quickly gets really dirty. Also, a warning: because the kitchen is so easily accessible, every evening there was a homeless man raiding fridges and just casually having dinner! The final downside is the wi-fi, which does exist but factually doesn't work (even in public spaces). Location is superb: the airport shuttle bus goes straight here.
This was absolutely amazing experience. I’ve got a free room upgrade, it was incredible. The hotel room cleanliness was extraordinary, super clean and finally I had a great night sleep. The mattress is extra firm and super comfy, keep your spine nice and straight. I really enjoyed my stay here. Another great thing about the location is the location.
Hotel location was good but still renovation work going on so its bit frustrating in the morning or day time as there will be loud noise. Staff was really helpful and they changed our room once we complaint about temperature issues with heating. But funny to see that there was no bathroom door in the other room. Like how can someone provide room with no bathroom door and why the room was open to rent 🤷🏻♂️ the major issue we faced is my friend forget his samsung earbuds in the room when we left hotel, so we call next day and enquired about but staff person on call straight away replied they do not find any headphones in cleaning the room. But as we can track the headphones it is still in the hotel. So it is a really frustrating experience for us as staff personal lied without checking. The headphones were worth €120 so definitely we expect the staff to try finding it but they did not bother and till date they have not replied on mail or call. I believe this is the worst hospitality experience for us as we can not trust the hotel or staff with stuff if we are staying in the hotel.
Hotel was a very nice experience, very unique to be out on the water with the lights on the parliament. It was a great location to walk to many of the nearby sites. We were there on some of the hottest days of the year and the aircon was working great. The outside of the boat looks like it needs to be refreshed for a little bit.
The hotel is in an excellent location. From the airport, you can take bus E100 to the final stop, and it’s just a few minutes’ walk from there. Several of Budapest’s main attractions are within walking distance, which saves a lot of hassle with transportation.
The hotel staff were especially friendly. Due to our flight schedule, we arrived around noon, and they kindly arranged an early check-in for us. It was truly a pleasant experience.
Clean room, great breakfast buffet, nice pools. The only downside may be the distance to the center of Budapest but bus stations are close enough. So calculate around 25 minutes. Recommended.
Hotel very convenient for transport (bus, tram and metro are at most 5 minutes away), but also on foot the parliament can be reached in 10 minutes, not very clean also because of the disco on the ground floor, but equipped with everything, young and helpful guys at the reception, abundant breakfast but of only fair quality. We were on the third floor and the noise from the disco did not arrive. Recommended for quality / price
This hotel is right in the city center, just a 5-minute walk from New York Cafe. It's incredibly convenient for getting around, with easy access to both the subway and buses. Overall, it offers fantastic value for money. The room was clean, tidy, and had high ceilings, which made it feel spacious and not at all cramped. The only minor downside was the pillows, which weren't very comfortable.
Continental Comfort in Budapest 🏩
For €260 a night 💶, the “junior suite” delivers big on comfort — a bed you’ll melt into 🛏️, pillows with personality, and a breakfast omelette 🍳 that could win awards. The staff are genuinely lovely 😊, and the building itself has a historic glass dome that makes you stop and stare.
Not everything hit the mark — the “wellness centre” (a sauna that’s more lukewarm hug than steamy escape 🧖♂️) and toiletries that smell like disappointment. Luxury touches didn’t quite sparkle, yet the space was clean, practical, and restful 😌.

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!
EEmilylovesfoodEverything about the hotel was quite reasonable. Although the breakfast selection wasn't extensive, the ingredients were good quality and it tasted nice.
However, the service could be improved. We arrived around 7 AM to check-in and drop off our luggage. When we returned to the hotel at 2 PM, the front desk told us we'd have to wait until 3 PM. So, I told them we'd be sitting on the sofa nearby and to let us know when our room was ready. Between 2:30 PM and 3 PM, they continued to check in other guests. After 3 PM, since no one had informed me, I assumed the room wasn't ready. It wasn't until around 3:20 PM, when I went to the front desk to ask, that I discovered the room had been ready for a while, but they simply hadn't told me. The waiting area sofa was less than two meters directly in front of the front desk, and they had been aware of our presence the entire time but never notified us.
GGuest UserWhen I arrived at the hotel before 7 o'clock, I was nervous because the entrance door was closed, but when I looked around the intercom, there was a call code on it, so I just had to press it. I went inside just as the other guests were coming out. All the staff were kind and greeted me with a smile, making me feel at ease. A bottle of wine was included in the room and it was delicious!

TTlwy2727I stayed in an 8-bed mixed dorm. Overall everything was good, but it could be a bit noisy at times. People were frequently coming in and out, and when they were packing or taking their belongings it could get quite loud. Some guests also spoke quite loudly, which sometimes disturbed those who were resting. However, I understand that this is quite normal when sharing a mixed dorm with several people.
The hostel itself is easy to find, and the staff were very polite and friendly. The only downside was that the bathroom was a little dirty.
GGuest UserRegarding hygiene and facilities: The shower hose in the bathroom was leaking, and the water pressure was very low. After staying two nights, I decided it wasn't worth it.
Regarding noise: There were many students on the floor I was staying on. On the first night, they were banging on doors frantically and speaking an incomprehensible language. I reported it to the front desk due to safety concerns. Although there was still some knocking that night, and a strange siren went off on the third morning, I did see security on our floor on the second night, so safety wasn't a concern.
Future guests who prioritize safety can choose this hotel, but if you're a light sleeper, the noise truly makes it impossible to rest.
Ambiance: The environment is good, and the location is very convenient, but this also makes the hotel very noisy, and the windows were drafty.
GGuest UserThe Estilo Fashion Hotel has great service, a comfortable room and a good location. We arrived in Budapest much later than expected and were very thankful to the staff and their speedy check in process that allowed us to get to our river cruise reservation on time. The staff were friendly and helpful each time we interacted with them.
The location was perfect for us. We were steps away from the Fővám tér station which had metro and tram service to many of Budapest's major sites like the parliament, chain bridge, Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion and many more. We were also steps away from the large Central Market Hall and we were on the popular Vaci Street so there were plenty of souvenirs, restaurants, bars, cafes and other conveniences close by. We took the metro from the station by the hotel that gave us easy access to the Kelenfold Station (to get to/from Vienna or Bratislava),
The room was compact but there was enough space for all of our things. It was a bit narrow with the placement of the desk and chair at the foot of the bed but we shuffled around to get by. There was a large storage cabinet as well as hangers for our things to help get stuff out of the way. The room has a mini fridge and we got a kettle and tea from the front desk during our stay. The room was quiet and the bed was comfy. The room ran a bit hot but the large window helped bring in some cool and fresh air.
The bathroom was good with good shower pressure and plenty of hot water. They have an all in one body wash in the shower and some body lotion by the sink too. We did bring some of our products but the hotel's was decent too. They had a towel rack which made our towels nice and warm and helped dry off our swimming stuff after a nice visit to the Széchenyi Thermal Baths.
The breakfast was nice and plentiful. They had very good scrambled eggs, breads and a tray of cured meats and cheeses each day. They also had a good variety of spreads and healthy items to choose from. We liked having yoghurt with a variety of seeds in it. The juice and coffee selection was nice too to help start our day. Getting there early wasn't a big issue for us but we found as it got busier not everything was consistently available.

GGuest UserThe hostel has curtains for privacy, the bed is a good size with a convenient shelf next to it, and there's a locker available. I really appreciate that the bathroom isn't in the room. This is definitely one of the top hostels I've stayed at in Europe, and it's not expensive either. The location is excellent; it's about a ten-minute walk from the 100E airport express bus stop, and you can easily walk to the boat pier and the free market from here.
GGuest UserHotel Review: A Cozy Stay in Budapest
I recently had the opportunity to stay at a hotel in Budapest, and my experience was quite pleasant.
Overall Ambiance:
This hotel offers a more home-like environment rather than the traditional professional hotel experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, which made it easy to unwind during my stay.
Location:
While the hotel may appear to be slightly distant from the city center, I found that accessing the main attractions was not an issue. With a variety of convenient transportation options, including trams and the metro, reaching the heart of Budapest was straightforward and manageable. It’s an ideal location for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city while still being easily connected.
Service:
The receptionist staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. I appreciated their attentiveness; they would knock multiple times before entering the room, ensuring guest comfort and privacy. Additionally, the option to store my luggage at the hotel after check-out was a significant advantage, allowing me to explore the city without the burden of my bags.
Room Comfort and Amenities:
My room was spacious and equipped with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The bed was decent, providing a good night’s sleep. Despite my short one-night stay, I found the accommodations to be more than satisfactory.
Dining:
The breakfast section offered a variety of options, making it a pleasant way to start the day. I found the selection to be adequate and enjoyable, contributing to a positive overall experience.
Conclusion:
In summary, if you’re seeking a quiet retreat away from the city’s hectic pace, this hotel in Budapest is a commendable choice. With its cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and accessible location, it provides a comfortable base for both short and extended stays. My experience was quite satisfactory, and I would recommend it to others looking for a relaxed stay in Budapest.
GGuest UserThe hotel boasts an excellent location right by the Danube River in Buda. It's very close to major attractions like Fisherman's Bastion and Buda Castle, all within a 10-15 minute walk. In the evenings, strolling along the Danube is a must, as the scenery on both banks is absolutely beautiful. There's also a bus stop less than a 5-minute walk away, where you can buy single-use or multi-day travel passes, which is incredibly convenient for independent travelers.
The rooms, while not spacious, are clean and well-maintained. However, I wouldn't recommend booking a room with a balcony. The balconies are small, very close to neighboring ones, and lack any partitions, meaning zero privacy.
Breakfast was decent, and the Greek yogurt was particularly delicious. Plus, on the ground floor, fruit tea and hot water are available all day, which was a very convenient touch.
