I must say this is one of the best place to stay in Budapest. Ruin pubs, fashion street is at a walkable distance. Very well connected with public transports. I reached at around midnight and it didn't feel unsafe. Hostel staff is too good. I met Soroush at check-in and he is a wonderful guy. He was available even around 1am for the smooth check-in experience. I asked him about the nearby attractions and the public transport and he helped with everything he could. Hostel is very clean and i met very nice people in my dormitory. Kitchen was provided as well and it was clean, more than my home kitchen😃

Péssima estadia, decepcionante
Foi horrível. Roubaram meu MacBook Pro e de mais um guest no mesmo quarto, arrombou o armário e roubou o meu MacBook e do outro guest. Tirou o meu ganha pão e do colega. Não tem câmera dentro do quarto ou de frente para os armários, somente na entrada do quarto. O cara fez check in, roubou e saiu e não voltou mais.

Hello! We're really sorry for the events happened a couple of days ago. The police is already looking for the perpetrator whose document copies were handed over. As far as possible we'll try to compensate you once we have exact news where the case stands. We'll keep you posted on this and definitely improve the safety of the lockers. Yours sincerely, Máté

Room was very small but just enough to stay for a few days. Shower drain was bad and water flooded to outside the shower stall, wetting the entire bathroom floor. Front desk clerk came to check on it, promised that maintenance would fix it the next day, but it never happened because we still had the broken drain the remainder of our stay here. Common kitchen access was nice so that I could make my cup of tea.

Great place to stay!
* Pros: Central location, right next to a big supermarket, safe key entry system to rooms, friendly reception, tea selections at kitchen, close from aiport bus stop (you can take 100E bus at airport and cost only about 2GBP, 30-40mins ride) * Cons: You need to bring your own lock if you want to use private storage/locker, late check-in time (3pm) but provided communal luaggage storage

Great little hostel set inside a historic building. Lovely high ceilings. Could benefit from a fresh lick of paint to bring out the full beauty! Common areas to chill in. There was a nice social wine tasting event whilst I was there and the laundry service is helpful. Great location right in the city centre!

I arrive early at 11.00am and could not get in until I rang the call button. It was complicated as it was like a mansion. The signs lead lead me to the reception staircase to reach. It's convenient those with big bags to carry. Overall rooms are spacious for 4 mix dorm. Location at city and near metro and trams.

Excellent stay at Maverick hostel. Perfect location, right near the city centre but away from all the hustle and bustle, really cool old building although it's a little difficult to find at first! Staff were really friendly and helpful. There was a free wine tasting and free movie and pizza night during my four night stay! Nice and clean and comfy and would definitely recommend!

Clean hostel w/ basic amenities and friendly staff
Check-in and out was smooth, and I was able to store my luggage in a locked room for free as I explored the city while my bed was being prepared (I showed up a few hours before the check-in time). There were lots of common spaces outside the bedrooms to meet other guests which I appreciated as this left the rooms quiet for those who wanted to sleep a bit earlier or nap. The bathrooms were clean and there was a hair-dryer available. The hostel provided me with a towel and a lock for locking my luggage outside the bedroom, both free of charge. The staff are also very knowledgeable about events around the city, and were happy to help with finding out the costs of different activities. The hostel staff made sure I had a car hired to the airport - this service was great, they walked into the hostel to pick you up so you don't have to wait outside late at night, and overall was a very safe experience. The hostel itself is easy to locate as it is near a large bridge, but still felt safe, and was quiet at night even with the windows open.
