Zrinyi Guesthouse

Nice area to stay. Close to many attractions. Walking distance to the river, Széchenyi Chain Bridge or Hungarian Parliament Building. St. Stephen's Basilica is just at the end of the road. Locations wins! Nice hostel for the price. Nice staff, explain everything you ask for. Even warn you of the noise coming down from the club at the weekend. Good think is you got free entrance to that club.

The only good thing about this hostel is the location. Right next to Chain Bridge, Danube River and St Stephen's Cathedral. Having said that, everything else was awful. Almost impossible to find, no signage, I found it by trying every building on the street. Staff were a bit unfriendly when I arrived. My room was poor, cobwebs and spiders in it, no sheets on the bed just a duvet and a towel. Shared bathroom was passable, there was at least hot water for a shower. The WORST thing was the noise. There is a club on the ground floor, and the noise is absolutely unbearable, the music and base vibrates so loud it shakes the room. Website said this was only Thursday to Saturday but it was on Wednesday as well when I was staying, absolutely horrible. Not only could I not sleep but my ears were in absolute AGONY. Completely horrible place to stay. Although the price was low, I expected better than that. I've stayed at many places far cheaper and even they were a million times better. DO NOT STAY HERE.

We were 3 guys looking for a cheap hotel in the centre on Budapest. We ended up paying €14/night each and got a very spacious 4 bed-room. The large room included 3/5 working plug sockets, two large windows, a fan, a cupboard, a bin, and ceiling lights. It was clean when we arrived but was not cleaned on a daily basis. We slept fairly well, due to the alcohol, however, I can understand why people wouldn’t sleep with the extreme heat and noise. On Thursdays-Saturdays the club downstairs would open until 4/6am. As a result of this, we were given free VIP wristbands. There were 3 toilets and 4 showers for men in the hotel. We never had a problem with waiting for them. One toilet had no seat cover unfortunately. Overall a good holiday and we would stay here again if the price stayed low.
