The hostel was really good. We stayed in a private room so my experience is also due to the fact that I didn’t had to share my space with anyone. The staff were super friendly (which these days is rare in a hostel). The beds are really clean and they really had a proper system to avoid bed bugs and stuff that you usually question from a hostel.
The one remark was that there is no space to put our bags in the room other than the lockers, so as a private room there should be more spaces to either sit and/or leave stuff
Excellent location - metro, bus and tram stops right outside the hotel entrance, and Keleti train station is also a 10-minute walk away. The pillow in the room was very thin, but the receptionist gave me a second, better one. The automatic air conditioning system makes some noise at night, but by the second day I got used to it and it wasn't a problem. The only toiletries available were liquid soap. I asked for a bar of regular soap at reception, but there wasn't any. The toilet seat was a little loose and the shower wall bracket was broken.
Having stayed here in November 2022, I got disappointed this time: smell in the boat ( fortunately not in the room so much), old and with the sense of abandonment, no separate shower cabinet in the bathroom (we were trying to find a way to dry the floor in order to step to the toilet), typical to poor breakfast buffet
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.
Feel like 2.5 stars accept the breakfast
Cleaning is minimal
Under the bad was a lot of mess
Also hotel service not the best
Looking good in the picture but wont compare
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 😌.

Regarding 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.

Hhehe1216Excellent stay! The hotel front desk staff were very welcoming, and all the employees were enthusiastic. The room was comfortable and spacious, and the hotel itself is beautiful. Breakfast was delicious and à la carte options were available. Everything was great. I would definitely choose to stay here again next time.
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!

@@travel_with_the_sunI had a great stay. The staff is very friendly and check-in is quick. Rooms & bathrooms are very clean. Housekeeping is doing a good job. The internet speed is very satisfying. I enjoy the kitchen, which offers plenty of space, well equipped and it even has an oven. I stayed there several times and like it very much. Location is also great, very central and you have all you need just nearby (supermarket, restaurants, snacks/fast-food...)
There could be some more activities initiated by the hostel to get people connected. Like cooking, boardgame night, etc...There is a WhatsApp Group, but at the moment I joined the group there were no activities/ chats in the 5 days I've been there.

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.
ZZhouchunxueThe facilities are complete, hygiene is good, the environment is beautiful, and the service is thoughtful. The surrounding amenities are convenient, and you can walk to the food street. Transportation is also convenient. I will book again next time.
GGuest UserThe guesthouse is on a lower stay standard than the hotel itself, however, for a single night the difference is not hugely important. I found the lack of soundproofing and creaky floors to be bothersome, next time I will stay in the hotel part of the establishment. However, for cost-conscious travellers, the guesthouse is still a great option, especially if you are in transit only.
