What guests think

Across many reviews, a&o Budapest City earns praise for its central, transit-friendly location and generally friendly staff, but feedback is mixed on room comfort and noise, reflecting a budget, hostel-style stay that won’t suit light sleepers.

Rooms are small and simple, with several reports of malfunctioning air conditioning and occasional maintenance issues. Cleanliness is often rated highly, but a few reviews noted poor housekeeping and one reported bedbugs. Breakfast gets mixed feedback on variety, and the laundry facility was unavailable or broken for some stays. Overall, expect a budget-friendly base with a lively atmosphere and trade-offs in comfort.

Ostello bello ma nella media peccato non ci sia la colazione inclusa, perché alla fine non conviene farla in ostello a quel prezzo. Sul sito dice che c'è la lavanderia e il deposito bagagli ma non sono disponibili. Pulizia nelle stanze mai fatta da parte del personale

They should activate all the bunk bed charging sockets. It’s burdensome to have to move to another corner to be able to charge one’s electronics. Other than that , it is an excellent place. I highly recommend it.

Room was good (we ordered a private twin, but got a 4-bed to ourselves, so bonus). Cooking facilities quite limited. The laundry was broken but staff were helpful in finding a local laundrette.

Väldigt dåligt städat. Acn var trasig på hela vårat våningsplan. Ointresserad personal. Enligt tidigare recensioner så har Acn varit trasig länge. Enligt personalen har det precis hänt och säger att reparatören kommer flera dagar senare efter att vi har checkat ut. Inga andra lediga rum och ingen kompensation. Det positiva är läget.

I stayed a few nights here. When I first checked in, I was given a very dirty all female room. The trashcans were completely filled, the bathroom floors were dirty, the hand towel hanger was broken, and it smelled bad. I went downstairs to complain and asked how often were the rooms cleaned. I kept asking when it would be clean because it would be a health hazard for the women staying there. The receptionist was kind enough to move me to a mixed room that was significantly cleaner.

Quarto bom e limpo. Ambiente barulhento e cortinas não fecham completamente (um pouco difícil pra dormir). Muitos mercados e restaurantes perto. Um dos recepcionistas um pouco confuso, mas muito simpático e prestativo. A porta lateral era possível de abrir, mas quando abre toca um alarme ensurdecedor e outro recepcionista foi super rude por eu ter feito isso (sendo que a porta estava lá sem nenhum sinal de que eu não poderia usar). No geral, se procura um lugar barato pra dormir e tomar banho, super recomendo. Eles tem restaurante também (não estava funcionando quando eu fui, mas tem!). Mas se quer um lugar pra descansar, talvez não seja a melhor opção.

Pros - Hotel was in a really handy location close to lots of bars and restaurants. Staff were friendly and we were able to add late checkout to the room for free. The room was clean, however the holder for the shower head was broken so you had to hold the shower head while showering which wasn’t ideal - I assume staff were aware of this issue if the bathroom is cleaned so unsure why this wouldn’t have been fixed. The rooms are very badly soundproofed so you’re woken up all through the night and morning by people getting home and letting doors slam, and the windows to the room face out to the outside walkway so you can hear people loudly talking as well. The aircon also didn’t work so the room was unbearably hot and you couldn’t have the windows open due to the noise. Overall, not a place I would recommend to stay if you are a light sleeper as you won’t get any sleep at all sadly!

Staff were very helpful from Reception to Repair team. Hotel was in good location near shops and transport. The room was a small double with en-suite. Bathroom was great . Large and modern. There was little space around the beds which probably accounted for all the marks on the walls.The room was showing signs of wear and tear with patches on paint, holes where hooks and hangers were missing so needed a refresh. The rooms down the corridor were being refurbished so maybe this room is on the list. Would stay again but ask for a twin rather than double.

A szoba a várthoz képest kellemes csalódás volt. Kicsi ugyan, de sok fontos dolog megtalálható benne ahhoz, hogy kényelmessé tegye. A családi szobában kevés hely volt a ruháknak, bőröndnek. A tisztasággal, fertőtlenítéssel minden rendben volt. A kultúrálatlan vendégektől a hostel nem tehet, de az ajtók hangos záródása viszont zavaró, főleg éjjel. Sok szoba miatt nagy a mozgás folyamatosan. Összességében kulturált szoba, tökéletes elhelyezkedésű szállás.

Towels were provided and a hairdryer. Body wash and hand soap is provided. The location was perfect, it was about a 30 min walk away from the famous spa, 10 min walk away from good bars and about 20 min walk away from st Stephens Basillica which from there is a walking distance to the famous bridges, parliament and other land marks. It was not noisy at night. Overall, the the price was amazing i would definitely stay here again and recommend this to others!
