MP Hostel

I really liked it here. The shared rooms have a really interesting layout. You feel so private. Someone moved in the room, and only then, did i remember that someone else is even, in the room, last night. The set up is that private. For a large location, you feel like there are only a few people around. The area is the best I have been in, in Budapest... so peaceful. it felt protected. There is a creative cafe, around the corner and I loved it there. Thank you.

I was at this hostel for 2 nights.

I spontaneously booked a travel to budapest and let me tell you for the price and the sudden booking it was totally worth.

The staff are very honest and nice people and help you with your questions.
The Boy at the reception charged me 30 euros too much when I was checking in, which, I at, first thought was also sketchy.

But then Daniel came to my room and apologised and gave me my money back!

Solid choice if you’re looking for a clean, quiet, and chill place to stay. The cleanliness stands out immediately everything from the rooms to the shared spaces is well-maintained, which makes for a comfortable experience. It’s a great spot to recharge after a day of exploring the city, especially if you prefer a more laid-back atmosphere over the party hostel scene.

The vibes here are peaceful, and it’s easy to strike a balance between socializing and enjoying your own space. The hostel seems to attract like-minded travelers who appreciate the calm environment. However, there are a couple of drawbacks. The kitchen amenities are quite basic, which can be a bit frustrating if you’re planning to prepare your own meals. A few more utensils or better cooking facilities would make a world of difference.

Another downside is the breakfast vending machine it’s often empty, which can be disappointing when you’re relying on it for a quick morning bite.

That said, the friendly staff and excellent location make Marco Polo Hostel a great base for exploring Budapest. If you don’t mind a couple of minor inconveniences, it’s a pleasant and relaxing place to stay.

The location is good enough. It is conveniently near public transportation, and most central parts are walkable. I stayed in the women's dorm. Although it was quite crowded, with 12 people, the separation panels btw the beds were a good idea, providing a bit of privacy.
The shared bathroom in the room was poorly ventilated. The biggest problem was the heating system, which wasn't working properly, and I felt cold while sleeping. The property advertised breakfast included, but it was just sandwich and drink from vending machines. In general, hostels in Budapest should improve their breakfast offerings with pastries, cereals, hot drinks... similar to other hostels in Europe.
Overall, the hostel was fair, and the receptionist, especially Abel, was very helpful and kind.

Clean and in a great location. Walking distance to so many things to do, see, and eat. I highly recommend ear plugs if you stay in the dorms, people can't help snoring very loudly. You have to tell them you want breakfast. We didn't know so we ended up eating at London Cafe right around the corner.

The twin room is pretty decent for the price. There are 2 beds, a big wardrobe with hangers, working desk with lamp and 1 chair, private bathroom with shower. The room was very warm, sleeping (pillow and duvet) was comfortable, there was warm water in the shower. They even had a luggage room for free on reception where we left our backpacks after check out. There is an elevator to get to the upper floors. The location is very convenient to walk to almost all places. Only downside is the shower (showerhead was partially broken so the pressure was low, and it took some time for the water to drain so while showering, your ankes might be in water), and I felt a bit itchy when laying in the bed.

With minor improvements it would be 5/5 but I’d recommend it if you’re aiming to explore the city through the day and come back for sleeping only.

Great service and experience provided by this hostel. The rooms are quite nice and clean. Elevator works fast. Staff is friendly and helpful. The only downside is checkout is too early at 10 am. Even so is a great price-quality offer.
