MP Hostel Budapest, hotel in Budapest

MP Hostel Budapest is centrally located in Budapest, 350 metres from Blaha Lujza tér metro station. It offers rooms with private and shared facilities and a terrace.

My other hotel cancelled it last minute, this was the only one free and not 200 euro for 1 night or 8km far from center city... Its my first time in a hostel, never liked the idea of it but i had no choice, the reviews were good so i had to give this one a try. They gave me the bed upstairs, i asked to changed it because i was afraid of heights, i couldn't get up or down from it... they said everything was full... After 10 minutes i figured it out how to climb it, but coming off was very scary for me and took a long time, But now i understand how to climb and go off from it which is a good thing from the hotel 😁 I liked they had a rail on the bed so you can't fall. Little bit of privacy with curtains, 2 bed in 1 cube. A locker for all you stuff Only women

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location of the hostel, you can reach it by walking from the train station as well. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the air condition was decent - it was cool enough in the room but not too cold for me to get sick. I really appreaciated the sockets were located above each bed. The bathroom in the room was also really appreciated. In general, I think this is one of the best hostels I have ever visited, especially for such decent price! I would definitely love to come back one day!

    We stayed here for a stag do for two nights. What a great place to stay, its very cheap! There was a bar below our rooms that stayed open till 6am with music and food. So after our night out we would come back here to finish the night. It's in a great location bang in the middle for all bars, food and drink. The rooms were fab, the showers were really good for a hostel, powerful. You get a locker in your room too so its very safe. The staff were really helpful.

    One of the best hostel I have ever been in. Extremely cheap for its facilities and very good location. I felt safe, comfortable and very well treated.
