Beautiful historical building. The spacious lobby includes areas for work, socializing, relaxation, and more. I stayed in the female-only section, which is completely private. The storage cabinets are spacious and come with clean curtains for privacy. Each cabinet also includes a light and a power outlet for charging your phone. I appreciated that staff do not enter the rooms, and that the housekeeper was a woman. this made the stay feel safer, more comfortable, and more private, especially as a female traveler. The staff are very friendly and available 24/7 at the reception desk. Their level of service and availability is similar to what you would expect from a hotel, which is a great bonus. ‏

Maverick is a great place it is more like a hotel , very safe and nice location near the Danube where you can have nice walk . Every bed has curtain so you have your privacy ..there is also a small reading lamp and a socket for charging your phone. Bathrooms are great like in a hotel.Other hostels should learn from them.People working there are very friendly and professional.There is a cafe and restaurant as well and the prices are normal and coffee is very good I can say one of the best latte that I had in Budapest. It is great for short and longer stays Every floor has his own key and own kitchen and every room has own bathroom so you can easily shower without waiting for your turn. I felt very comfortable there. I highly recommend this hostel you would not be disappointed.It is very easy to find from the airport you just take E 100 to Kalvin ter and just walk trough Lonay street and you are at the hostel and tram stops are 2 mins from Maverick when you want to go further to Parliament or the center. I am highly recommending this place .

Das Nest felt like a home away from home. The location is great, and the cozy, bohemian interior—especially the loft overlooking the rooftops—makes it easy to relax. The small size of the hostel added to its charm, creating a more intimate and welcoming vibe. Everything was clean, laid-back, and the staff were super friendly. I’d definitely stay again!

All hostels in Budapest

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location of the hostel, you can reach it by walking from the train station as well. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the air condition was decent - it was cool enough in the room but not too cold for me to get sick. I really appreaciated the sockets were located above each bed. The bathroom in the room was also really appreciated. In general, I think this is one of the best hostels I have ever visited, especially for such decent price! I would definitely love to come back one day!

We stayed here for a stag do for two nights. What a great place to stay, its very cheap! There was a bar below our rooms that stayed open till 6am with music and food. So after our night out we would come back here to finish the night. It's in a great location bang in the middle for all bars, food and drink. The rooms were fab, the showers were really good for a hostel, powerful. You get a locker in your room too so its very safe. The staff were really helpful.
