Jazzy Vibes Parliament Hostel & Ensuites — Hotel in Budapest

Evrything thats worth it about this place is the location. There is a super market almost next to it. You go a bit further up and on the left and you will find the parliament and a metro stop. Its clean and simple. BUT we had many complains. Because we would be there at 11:30 at night we were afraid we wouldnt have find it so we emailed them and the made it so a taxi driver would come and pick us up (for 24€). It was a life saver!!!!! We would have never EVER find it. There is a huge iron door that only opened with a password (something i had never seen before) and the hotel sign was TINY! Smaller than a laptop screen! It was dark and the hotel was on the second floor.if the taxi driver hadnt been with us i have no idea how we would have been able to find what to do even if we have found it. We go up and there is no one there. The kitchen was lit and only one door was open. The key we had fit so we figured that was our room. We slept well. Next morning there wqs noone again. We had to email the guy and we finally saw him on the next day after, when we finally paid him. He eccepted euros and had change. Then we never saw him again. But he did allow us to leave our bags on the room even after check out so we wont have to carry them around on our last day. If we knew all these it would have been a great place to stay. But it was too much on us. I would stay again though now...

Origo is a basic accommodation for the budget-conscious traveler. The owner is friendly and makes a genuine effort to make guests feel welcome. ||Location is very central, within a few minutes' walk of a Metro station linking you directly to Keleti, major sights, Parliament and at least three tasty budget eateries (2 traditional, 1 hummus bar).||Some pet peeves:|- specific 2-hour check-in timeframe is an annoyance, especially for an international traveler who may not have voice roaming to inform the hostel of a delay. |- the building is your quintessential soviet-style tenement whose communal areas probably haven't had any TLC since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Without light (switches are available on landings), the stairwell and atrium look positively scary.|- ensuite windowless restroom and shower in the private room is obviously prone to smelling damp|- because the restroom is clearly an addition, the plumbing is probably not suited for that use. Therefore, the toilet talks back to you through what I can only call a poo-burator that, likely, blends whatever's coming down to ensure no blockages occur. ||The cleanliness, friendliness and owner's effort to make Origo guests comfortable more than make up for these minuses....

It is extremely well placed to be exceptionally handy for central Budapest. There's a metro station just outside and to the right which will take you to most places in the city. An excellent Yugoslavian restaurant to the left and if you don't mind rude and grumpy staff a supermarket between the accommodation and the metro. The rooms are clean and comfortable and there's regular fresh towels. Try and opt for a room away from the street as it can get quite noisy, either that or take earplugs. There is a kettle, microwave, some utensils and a couple of fridges that can be used by guests, but be wary about leaving anything in fridge for too long as there were some light fingered guests when we were there. The staff are friendly and helpful. The sign outside is tiny and we missed it a couple of times trying to find the place. I liked the stairs, felt like being in some Cold War spy movie. We were there for two weeks, which possibly was some kind of record and were quite comfortable there and it only cost us £237 which was...
