Offering a 24-hour front desk, Maverick Central Market is located in Budapest. Free WiFi access is available.

Each room at Maverick Central Market will provide you with air conditioning. Some rooms feature a private bathroom with a shower. You can enjoy city view from the room.

Many shops and restaurants are reachable within a short walk from the hostel. Honestly everything was amazing, my bed had a curtain and even in the daytime it could stay dark if i wanted to. When you check in you can choose to join the whatsapp group and they organise these amazing activities, i was here on my solo travel and met so many amazing people. The city was also so much more than i expected. Definitely coming back!

Ideally situated in Budapest, JO&JOE Budapest features air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a terrace. The property has a bar, as well as a restaurant serving international cuisine. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

The hostel offers a buffet or continental breakfast. Everything was fine, it’s a nice new hostel. There is also a curtain both sides of the bunk bed, so you have some privacy. It was comfortable too. I recommend it!

Shantee House offers dormitory rooms, free WiFi and a garden in a quiet area in the 11th district of Budapest, a 5-minute walk away from tram and bus stops.

A common room with satellite TV, a safety deposit box, a 24-hour front desk service, laundry facilities and a fully equipped kitchen are available in the house. Guests also have access to the garden with hammock and can rent bicycles and skateboards on site. I don't understand the question about the price matching my expectations, which were very high. I liked everything, including the hostel's Himalayan look, having spent several years in that region.
