HOSTEL
LOFT HOSTEL
14,000Ft; ; 5, 7, M3/4 Kálvin tér)
This hostel may well succeed in its loft-y aspirations to be the hottest backpacker magnet in
town. Travellers end up lingering longer than expected, seduced by the wonderful atmo-
sphere; it feels like staying at a friend's house. Private apartment also available.
HOSTEL
CARPE NOCTEM
5400Ft; ; M3 Nyugati pályaudvar, 4, 6)
Part of the Budapest Party Hostels chain, this relaxed place offers a smaller, more laidback
option than its sister establishments. With just three rooms of six- to eight-bed dorms, it has
an intimate, easygoing atmosphere. It's right at the top of an apartment block - so expect
quite a hike with your bags.
HOSTEL
UNITY HOSTEL
€30-40; ; M1 Oktogon, 4 or 6)
This hostel's location in the heart of party town would be draw enough, but add to that a
roof terrace with breathtaking views of the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy and the amiable,
relaxed atmosphere and you have a winner. It sleeps 54 people over two levels and offers
both air-con and fans.
HOSTEL
BLUE DANUBE HOSTEL
25/36; ; M2 Astoria, 47, 49)
This place gets top marks for the sheer effort the super-knowledgeable host, Sándor, puts in-
to making guests feel welcome, equipping them with maps and advice and even picking
them up at ungodly hours. The hostel consists of several rooms in a self-contained apart-
ment - shared bathroom and en suites available.
