Maxim Hostel

Very friendly welcoming staff. Went out of their way to create sure I was comfortable. Extremely clean and tidy. The beds were single and separate unlike uncomfortable bunk beds like other hostels. It is a 7 minute walk from the metro but still an superb location with pretty little eateries lined across both sides of the street. Fantastic value for money!

Absolutely remarkable spot to stay. The owners are warm and friendly and willing to help (they spent ages sorting out all our buses for us on the Hungarian websites), and are really accommodating, making you feel like a house-guest! The shared room is really nice, the beds are single rather than bunk beds which was a welcome break, along with the artwork on the wall was incredible! The bathroom is a family bathroom, with an actual bath! Location-wise the hostel is great! We came from the bus station (Nepliget) and bought a single ticket to Kalvin Ter. From there it is a 5 minute walk, not too much with a backpack! The hostel is on Raday Street where all the greatest (and cheapest! ) eating places are, so during the night you never end up too far away. Budapest was a great city to go to and this hostel made it incredible!

Absolutely outstanding location to stay. The owners are friendly and willing to help (they spent ages sorting out all our busses for us on the Hungarian websites), and are really accommodating, making you really feel like a house-guest! The shared room is really nice, the beds are single instead of bunk beds which was a welcome break, and the artwork on the wall was incredible! The bathroom is a household bathroom, with an actual bath! Location-wise the hostel is great! We came from the bus station (Nepliget) and bought a single ticket to Kalvin Ter.

As soon as we got there we were welcomed by Elizabeth, who freshly made up our beds, and did everything she could to be helpful! The hostel was really homely, and had a peaceful environment :) Would definitely recommend!

Location is great. Nice street with all kinds of restaurants and bars with local people and little tourists. Supermarket and ATM directly on the corner.

Quirky location but maybe that is Budapest. I only stayed one night but would have stayed more if I could. Felt you were meeting locals, and that is what it is rooms in somebodys large flat. Very nice area with a street of "terraced" various eating places just outside just take your pick. You have a word with the guy who I thought was the owner and he gives you a code for the entry system. Metro and trams just up the road - bit further than 5 mins I think. Babies and cats running around good in case you like babies and cats which happily I do.

Everything, the bathroom/bedroom facilities were ace and comfortable, and the location of the hostel was on one of the most bustling streets in Budapest, full of budget food places and character. Couldn't fault it.
