Lovely place, great location!! Note the lack of an elevator. Staff were extremely kind, but sometimes not present in the lobby. I had to leave keys on the desk to check out and messaged them, and all was well. Recommended!

This hostel has a unique charm and an excellent location for exploring Budapest. The apartment we stayed in was very spacious, and the reception staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. While the building is a bit older and the shower was quite small, the overall experience was great considering the price and unbeatable location. I would definitely recommend it to travellers looking for affordable accommodation in the city.

Lavender Circus Hostel was a wonderful place to stay during our visit to Budapest. It has a unique, quaint charm and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We booked a private room for two with its own bathroom, which gave us the perfect balance of hostel character and privacy. The location is excellent—centrally situated and within easy walking distance of many of Budapest's top attractions, restaurants, cafés, and the Jewish Quarter. It made exploring the city on foot incredibly convenient. The staff was consistently courteous, friendly, and welcoming, always happy to answer questions and offer assistance. If you're looking for an affordable, comfortable, and character-filled place to stay in Budapest, Lavender Circus Hostel is an excellent choice. We'd gladly stay here again on a future visit.

Great! Very good price and very good location. It's a basic studio apartment. Easy self-check-in. Only suggestions would be to have separate listings for the two locations, and to accept credit cards rather than cash only.

This was the second time I stayed at the hostel. Last time, I had a flat but there was not any available this time, so I booked a private room. The room was cozy, nicely decorated and I was close to the kitchen. The only thing was that my window was situated towards the outside entry way so I could not have the windows open much and had to have the curtains pulled which made the room quite dark. The staff was really nice and I like that you are able to store your luggage until you have to leave the city. The room was clean. It was 36 degrees while I was in Budapest and they gave me two fans. The room was of course still very hot, but I managed fine. The location is great, right next to the National Museum, public transport and close to the airport bus (maximum 10 minute walk) and it takes maybe 15 minutes to walk to the Jewish Quarter and 20 minutes to the city centre. I will definitely stay here again. Budapest is a city a travel to every year, and I think this will be my place of choice to stay in the future :)

Lovely quirky accommodation in Central Budapest

Great quirky hostel in the heart of Budapest. Easy to find with great transport links, whilst walking distance to many of the sites. The decor was amazing and made it a unique place to stay. Not an issue for us, but there are quite a lot of steps with no lift so be prepared! Also it's on the main street so quite a bit of traffic noise - but location and quality of accommodation completely offset this.
