Metropolis Hostel

Budapest

Excellent hostel, really clean and spacious. Guy running it was super nice and helpful. Very well located and has good bathroom facilities. Has good WiFi and a nice kitchen area. Went with friends and would recommend

1 week stay

As my first hostel experience I didn’t know what to expect, and this place was a pleasant surprise. After finding the entrance (which wasn’t the easiest) we were welcomed by a friendly staff member. The place is small, cozy, has a roomy locker and quite a bit of space to store other things in. There appears to be only one bathroom and one toilet, this was never a problem since we always used them late at night or early in the morning and the structure didn’t host many people. Very close to the center, I suggest going to Szimpla Pub if arriving late, it’s close and very nice and typical. Overall a perfect experience, would recommend to anyone. Yeah 

Perfect

Just finished a 3 night stay at Metropolis and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Our flight to Budapest was late evening & then delayed, but simply paid a €5 fee for late check in. Despite arriving around 1am, our host was extremely helpful in showing us around & also provided us with a map of the city, marking off the nearest underground station (a few minutes walk away) & other points of interest for us - this was great for us as first time visitors to the city! The location of the hostel is very accessible and there are shops, fast food places & bars in easy walking distance. 

In terms of the hostel itself, it was very clean & there is a lovely modern shower, there is a small fee of €2 each for towels. Beds are big and comfortable & the curtains across the pods give you a good sense of privacy. We didnt use it much but the kitchen was handy, each sleeping section has allocated fridge space and labels are provided to mark off your food. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back!

Everything you need from a hostel!

Had a brilliant first time experience in this hostel which is located in such a good spot, 5 mins from the underground, 15 mins from the ruins bars, facing an Aldi. The hostel owner was incredibly friendly and helpful with the map, he also came to work early for my early check in. They are very responsive to messages. The Hostel isn’t suitable for people with accessibility problems, it’s up 3 flights of stairs and some of the beds are up more stairs too. The hostel is small but has everything you need and is cleaned regularly plus that means that it’s quiet for you to sleep in. The hostel has really fast WiFi and a phone you can use too. 

Negatives:

The sheets are polyester and not cotton
The sign is very small for the hostel so it’s hard to locate especially for taxi/transfers
There could’ve been easier access to windows as it felt a bit stuffy at times
No fire exits shown

Perfect central hostel, basic but fantastic for the price.

Comfortable beds, good pressure from the showers, very clean and tidy. Coffee, tea, napkins, and equipped kitchen. They offer towels. If you're thinking of socialising, it's not the best. If you're thinking of relaxing and having a good time. The receptionist is very kind, explains everything, solves your problems. Many bars are nearby. You probably have the bathrooms next to the staff and the entrance. The door of one of them should be fixed. Something far from the center but by metro you handle well! The surroundings are not very nice. The smell of a piss at the entrance to the building, once inside is very clean!

Everything is excellent, except for the retreats!

The hostel is quiet, clean, warm and pleasant.The owner is very quiet and gives explanations of leftovers for whatever you want.We recommend it 100%.The price ratio is very good.Slightly away from the centronos 10-15min walking distance, but metro and bus are 150m from the hostel.

Perfect for spending a few days.

I stayed in the double room, very large, equipped with a closet and several electrical outlets. I took a look at the dormitory room and it seemed appropriate, with huge beds and buses to ensure privacy. The kitchen where to prepare breakfast or meals is very small and clean. There is a convenient luggage storage facility available if you want to leave your suitcase with the last day. The person at the reception is in the reception area and has been given a good night's sleep in the vicinity of the city centre.

A comfortable, well-kept and clean place

It's a perfect place to stay. Located in the city center of Budapest it has everything: a nice kitchen you can cook basic meals, clean toilets and bathrooms, crispy white bedsheets and carpeted floors (they ask you to leave your shoes in boxes at the entrance, so bring slippers if you don't like to walk in your socks). The place is very civil, no parties, so we had no problem sleeping. The WIFI is also excellent, not secure, but the signal is very strong.

Very clean and convenient, polite staff, quiet

I've been to many hostels in Budapest, all of which were cheap. Some are dirty, some are noisy, some are both. Metropolis is the fantastic exception to the rule.
Every space is cozy and home-like: nice lights, very clean, silent and always warm. The toilets are always clean and, although there are only two showers, there are four sinks you can use. We did not only like the fact that all is clean and not noisy, but also how clever all is: the room had a double bed (with two individual duvets and pillows), a small table next to it and also two double pegs on the walls and two different types of lights. In short, space is really well-organised. Because rooms don't face each-other nobody can see you at night, even if someone goes out of their rooms. The other spaces in the hostel (fridge and cupboards) are equally clever, as they are clearly marked with the colour of your room, so there's no problem in finding anybody's belongings in your space. All looks new and tidy and the common spaces (living-room and kitchen) have more facilities than regular hostels: carpets, flat-screen TV, puffs, oven... Plus, there's free sugar, tea and coffee in the kitchen and it's not far from the city centre. We loved it and I'll totally go back there when visiting Budapest again. :)

Best Hostel in Budapest

Really clean and nice place to stay for one or more days with your friends, family or in couple.
Very nice staff present for all information.
Perfect quality/price ratio and not far from the center. 
10/10 !
