"I don't usually stay in hostels - I was in Budapest for the Champions League final and hotels were crazy prices, so I gave a hostel a shot. It was much more comfortable than I'd imagined, and also extremely cool and quirky in its layout. The communal areas area ample and the bed was comfy. It is well located next to the city park and a nearby metro station. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful too."

H2 Hotel Budapest

10/10 Excellent
"Good stay - nice location with plenty around and close to all the main tourist attractions. The room was a decent size. The breakfast was ok - nothing too special but plenty to eat for everyone. For the price I’d absolutely look to stay here again."
