The only feedback would be to remove the hand dryer from the bathroom as it’s super loud and wakes up everyone in the rooms close by. People use it at ridiculous...

"Good: Felt very safe at the accommodation and it was very clean and comfortable. Would stay and recommend to others. Very walkable to everything you need (shops) and to walk around Budapest.

"The hostel has switched to fully code-based entry. This was awesome since I arrived when there was no staff onsite and could easily enter the building, the hostel and my room without interacting with anyone.
