Introduction

Welcome to a hostel, a vibrant spot in the heart of this charming city. You’ll find a mix of private and shared rooms, drop-in co-working spaces and a well-equipped kitchen, so you can whip up something delicious for dinner. Those who prefer their own space can opt for a room with a private en suite, and there are rooms for groups available if you’re on a getaway with the whole gang. Like getting out and about? Budapest’s finest features are right on your doorstep, so exploring by foot couldn’t be easier. The hostel’s close to public transport too, if you fancy venturing further afield. ... More

The Lowdown on Hostels

What is a Hostel?

Looking for a social stay where you can meet new, like-minded people? Say hello to our hostel collection!

 

These budget-friendly bases are perfect for solo travellers, couples and groups, and usually offer dormitory-style rooms with bunk beds, where multiple guests sleep in the same room with a shared bathroom. Prefer your own space? Many hostels offer private rooms too, along with private bathrooms.

 

Common areas and shared kitchen facilities generally come as standard, so hostels are ideal if you’re after that community feel. Some even offer organised activities and tours, for those who love getting out and about.

 

Although hostels may offer padlocks, towels and toiletries to buy or loan, we recommend bringing these items with you just in case they are not available.

 

Bunking up in a shared dorm!

 

If you are wanting to book multiple beds in a shared dorm, you will need to search for individual rooms for each adult. For example, to book two beds in a shared dorm, please search for two adults in two rooms.

        Discover Budapest

        A little culture here, a little nightlife there – elegant Budapest ticks all the boxes. Split by the Danube River, it's a tale of two cities. On the UNESCO-stamped west side, amble through the tree-lined boulevards and cobbled streets of Buda and baroque buildings spring into view. Fisherman's Bastion, Matthias Church and Buda Castle will make you swoon. But that's just one part of this cosmopolitan city. After dark, over in the east, edgy Pest is the place to be. What are you in the mood for? Take your pick from quirky ruin pubs and underground clubs to rooftop terraces and cool cocktail bars. Hangovers can be cured at the grand, centuries-old bathhouses peppered throughout the Hungarian capital – there are lots to choose from!
