I've been to many hostels in Budapest, all of which were cheap. Some are dirty, some are noisy, some are both. Metropolis is the fantastic exception to the rule.||Every space is cozy and home-like: nice lights, very clean, silent and always warm. The toilets are always clean and, although there are only two showers, there are four sinks you can use. We did not only like the fact that all is clean and not noisy, but also how clever all is: the room had a double bed (with two individual duvets and pillows), a small table next to it and also two double pegs on the walls and two different types of lights. In short, space is really well-organised. Because rooms don't face each-other nobody can see you at night, even if someone goes out of their rooms. The other spaces in the hostel (fridge and cupboards) are equally clever, as they are clearly marked with the colour of your room, so there's no problem in finding anybody's belongings in your space. All looks new and tidy and the common spaces (living-room and kitchen) have more facilities than regular hostels: carpets, flat-screen TV, puffs, oven... Plus, there's free sugar, tea and coffee in the kitchen and it's not far from the city centre. We loved it and I'll totally go back there when visiting...
Read moreWe just returned from our trip to the Metropolis Hostel. We really loved it. ||If you are after a quiet hostel in a good location with good facilities and comfortable beds, book this hostel.||Its by no means a party hostel. There is not much socialising going on and people just do their thing. ||We recommend to use google maps to find the hostel as it is not that easy to find depending on which direction you arrive from (the sign is facing only one way).||The public transport options around the hostel were great and you can get into the city really quickly by bus or metro.||||We used the kitchen on both nights we stayed at the hostel. It was clean and we could cook basic meals. There is a big ALDI supermarket just across the street which made life a lot easier.||||Only fault I could find is that you get charged if you arrive after 10pm which sometimes you cannot help if your transport is running late. There is no 24 hour reception but the owner was really friendly and gave us all the information we needed for our stay.||||This is a safe, well-located hostel with great facilities. So if you are looking for a good night sleep in a quiet hostel. I can´t recommend this...
Read moreReally nice place to stay. Dorms offer a lot of privacy thanks to the colourful curtains. Kitchen has everything including coffee, tea, sugar, oil, salt. Well organized, extremely clean and well designed. Two toilets and two bathrooms with sink and shower/bathtub. The place is a bit small, but it's great to meet people. We found it so good the first day that we booked two extra nights. The owner is really sweet and available. When we arrived he showed us the hostel and the nearby services such as the metro station (5min by foot) or the shop. Moreover, he gave us useful tips about the city's main sights, the baths and everything we needed to know to get started visiting Budapest. The city centre is around 15min by foot, but we recommend to go around the streets nearby (District VII) to discover some cool spots: different cafès, the ruin bars (especially Szimpla Kert, the most famous one) and nice restaurants. For us, staying in Metropolis Hostel added to our trip in a special way! Thanks to Gabriel and to all the staff for making our...
