Opera Hostel Budapest

An easy, laid-back place to stay, with restaurants, cafes, pubs, and supermarkets only a few minutes' walk away. It's inexpensive and very close to the city center. The staff were helpful and nice, and my room was clean and comfortable. My one small complaint is that the rooms could use locking lockers. There are safes, but they're at the front desk.

The location was good, it was very cheap, and the receptionist did try to help. But there was no security at all: no lockers, despite what the online listing said, and no room keys, so anyone could walk in. The room was hot and stuffy without AC, and the bedding and room didn't seem to get cleaned often.

I slept in a room without bunk beds, and the staff were really nice, but the hostel itself was average. Some people told me they'd had bedbugs, so check the bed before sleeping in it. The bathroom also needs renovating.

For the price, the two-night stay was quite good. The internet worked fine for browsing and videos, but water flooded the shower room. There were no lockers in the room, so anyone could come in, and no personal luggage lockers either. If you have valuables, you can ask to leave them in the luggage room or bring your own lock.
