Es ist halt ein Hostel mit einem sehr niedrigen Preis, sodass man natürlich nicht zu viel erwarten sollte. Die Küche ist wirklich sehr klein und hat die nötigste Ausstattung. Die Bäder sind auch sehr eng. Hier und da sind auch der Toilettensitz oder der Duschkopfhalter kaputt. Sowas sollte trotz Budgethostel repariert werden. Weil es so günstig ist, sind hier ein paar Gäste wohl schon länger dort, was dann etwas den Hostelvibe verliert oder eben belebt. In meinem Fall wurde mir leider das...

Grand hall au rez-de-chaussée permettant de garer plusieurs vélos. Emplacement très proche du marché et du Danube. Accueil sympathique. Les matelas sont confortables mais les lits à étages bougent un peu trop. Il fait particulièrement chaud la nuit. Toilettes trop proches de la cuisine. Thé et café en libre service. Cuisine bien équipée. Pas beaucoup d'espace. Rapport qualité-prix correct. Paiement par carte avec 5% de frais supplémentaires ou en espèces avec arrondi (6500 au lieu ...

Great hostel, I really felt at home. People and the atmosphere were so nice ! Great beds. The place was clean overall except the two small toilets/showers near the kitchen. I was in the 4 beds dorm only separated to one of this small toilet/shower by a simple door (which is closed all the time)…so I could hear and smell everything and that was really unpleasant. But overall everything was really good !

Filled with foreign workers who don't know what they're doing 90% of the time and create an environment of absolute stupidity. The place is also a dump

The staff was nice. The accommodation is centrally located. The rooms were clean. The Wifi in the room is weak. There is no lamp next to the bed. The beds are moderately comfortable. The kitchen is small but cozy. The bathroom and toilet are together, but there are 3 different rooms for this. There is also a laundry facility.

Zen is a wonderful Hostel. The staff, volunteers, and other guests are friendly and welcoming. The staff team is responsive and helpful when asked about good places to eat and the bus schedule. The beds are comfortable and the interior temperature is cozy (a literal warm welcome, as I was here in the middle of winter). The location is good as it provides easy access to both sides of the river. Zen was a place I genuinely looked forward to returning to at the end of a long day exploring the city!

Je ne m’attendais pas à quoi que ce soit quand j’y suis allé et finalement, je m’y suis bien plu. Endroit sécurisé, hôte convivial et arrangeant. Vous pouvez avoir confiance en eux.

The hostel is really cozy, like being in a little home. If your looking for a more relaxed atmosphere it is perfect. The staff were really accommodating. There a 2 major public transport lines right outside so it is easy to get everywhere, and honestly if you like walking you can also walk to most places.

Location is bad, not close to anything. Tramp passes right outside and there's lots noise. I slept at a female dormitory and there was another dormitory which was accessible only from our dormitory, which means lots of people were passing through our room often. I spent 2 night and they were the worst nights of my trip, many girls wake up at 6 am even on weekends which is very sus. No one in the dorms speak to each other. There're far better hostels in Budapest for far less money+better location

So glad I booked this hostel! Sisi is and absolute gem. She very kindly carried a bag for me while we walked to the second location from the reception and gave great recommendations based on my interests. I was booked into the library location which had a good vibe. Quiet but easy to be social if you want. Location is convenient to the tram and metro to all the main attractions and many food options nearby. The bed was comfortable and the room was a great size. Would 100% return. Thank you!
