This was my first ever hostel, because I was always quite sceptical of going to one, but the low price of just €10/night plus the brilliant location convinced me. We stayed in one of the smaller dorms with 4 bunk beds and lockers. The bathroom was clean and modern, this hostel has been renovated quite a bit. The kitchen area... More

Go if you want to be the last person to sleep, the place is impossibly loud until 6am at least each night as the communal area is connected to each room. Despite having paid a deposit online no booking was registered and when leaving for some reason they wouldn't accept the same credit card. Rude staff, awful hostel, the minimum... More

We spent 2 nights in this hostel and managed to sleep less than 3 hours a night due to the constant partying, yelling, screaming that is allowed to take place all night in the outside communal area that is connected directly to the dorms. The only access to this area is via the dorms, so loud drunken people were trapsing... More

Island Hostel is brilliantly located on Margitsziget. Close to the important the tramlines 4/6. Real friendly staff. Linen and towels is free and given to you at your check-in. It can be loud at night. But this is simply compensated by all this abovr. Definitely a comeback next year!

I have to emphasize this is a hostel with mixed dorms so you cannot expect nothing more. But it has a great location - on the island near the city and it was the cheapest accommodation I found. The owner is very nice and ready to advice you on where to go. Dorms were clean, with lockers. Bathrooms were not... More
