Everything was perfect and clean. The location is also good, near the city center and in just 2 minuts was from the subway. 100% safe! The staff really helpful and kind. The only "problem" was that we couldn't have wifi in the room, but just in the area around the reception. Anyway I really recommend this hostel!

A nice enough, comfy hostel, with great staff, ideally located for getting to different sights in budapest. It's not luxurious, but you do not expect that from a hostel. It's clean, everyone is very helpful, and the price is great. It was kind of an emergency, since we could not find anything, and this was one of the rare things... More

The beds were comfortable and clean but the constantly passing by of... More

You have your own locker in the room free of charge and the provide you with a padlock. The situation is perfect. It's in a very quiet street... More

Although it seemed kind of sketchy when I arrived at night in the rain (its located off a main road), I found this place to be really nice and comfortable. Its small, which is nice because its not overrun with people. The airport shuttle will bring you right to the door, but its very easy to get to the airport... More

So welcoming and so helpful. Great location and the rooms are very spacious. I now love Budapest, partly because of this hostel and its staff.

I'm a regular visitor to Budapest and this is a lovely place - staff are super-friendly and helpful, young and knowledgeable. They directed my to some of the best places I've ever found in Budapest. Rooms are comfortable and spacious, even those meant for couples.

Selected this hostel due to location & price, and were pleased. Double room was essentially a dorm room for our exclusive use which gave us lots of space. Owner on the desk was incredibly helpful and would proactively check everyone was OK & had everything they needed. We were allowed to hang about in the communal area in the afternoon... More

My husband and I stayed for five nights at the Ginkgo Hostel and had a great experience. We opted to have our own room, which turned out to be large with a comfortable bed. The owner of Ginkgo and everyone who worked there was very friendly and helpful. The hostel is on a side street (just off of a main... More
