Penthouse Privates Hostel

This hostel was such a great find, I was heading to Budapest with a friend and we’re just a little older than the party hostel life, so this had the private rooms but still cheap and cheerful, I was pleasantly surprised. Be warned, there’s 133 steps (I counted) to the apartment, but it’s worth it, on the first level there’s a living room, kitchen, and two or three bedrooms with bathrooms, either side of the living room there’s a set of steps which lead to another couple of bedrooms and bathroom either side, we stayed in a twin room with two single beds, wardrobe and balcony, our room was clean, the bedding was clean and once we figured out the radiator, it was super toasty. There’s some food in the fridge, bread, jam, butter for you to help yourself to, as well as tea and coffee. The staff are really helpful, we basically sat down and asked for help to plan our weekend, which was exactly what we needed, they had great tips and suggestions, they are also part of a bigger group of accommodation, just down the road there’s a party hostel, which came in super handy when we managed to lock ourselves out at 1am, a couple of hours and drunken attempts later, we got the correct code! The location of this place is fantastic, plenty of shops and bars nearby, a short walk to the baths and the city centre, I wouldn’t hesitate to book up here again if I find myself back in beautiful Budapest.
