Maverick Athenaeum

The localisation was excellent! Bus stop is literally in front of the entrance, metro entrance and tram stop are 300m away. Next to the hostel is Lidl. Hostel was so clean, breakfast was nice, personel was very helpful and friendly. I loved lockers (they were big) and the bed with drapes so you have little privacy. The internet connection was excellent everywhere! I also loved the design and interior decor. The price was very adequate to the standard. I would love to go back there and recommend it to anyone.

The highest standard of management and everything is organised very well. I appreciate the politeness of the staff and the good sleeping room. In my 10 person room nobody was snoring! Sincerely I consider that we need to have separate rooms for a person snoring and for that's not. They have a luggage store and you can have a good breakfast.

I've spent 10 nights at Netizen this year (4 nights this visit and 6 nights last visit). The best thing about this hostel is the location. No, it doesn't have a scenic view, and no, it's not in the 5th district. But Netizen is at Blaha Lujza tér. You literally just exit the hostel, go past two stores under the portico, and you've arrived at the metro station. So easy -- it's not like you even went outside. Then all of Budapest is at your fingertips. The bus stop is literally in front of the hostel's door too. Trams are accessible from the other metro exit. If you are planning on taking the Metro (especially line M2) often in Budapest, I would stay here based on this fact alone. Overall, the hostel has a good price-quality ratio. The rooms are simple, but clean, spacious, and air-conditioned in the summer. There is a cozy quiet area upstairs. I look forward to staying here next time in Budapest.

The room size and space were excellent, and the facilities were well-equipped. The staff was courteous and helpful during check in . The ID Cafe next door offered great coffee and breakfast options. The location was superb, just 900 meters from the central station, with a LIDL store a few steps away. The hostel itself is large and well-equipped, and the standard double room I booked was spacious.

Beautiful historical building. The spacious lobby includes areas for work, socializing, relaxation, and more. I stayed in the female-only section, which is completely private. The storage cabinets are spacious and come with clean curtains for privacy. Each cabinet also includes a light and a power outlet for charging your phone. I appreciated that staff do not enter the rooms, and that the housekeeper was a woman. this made the stay feel safer, more comfortable, and more private, especially as a female traveler. The staff are very friendly and available 24/7 at the reception desk. Their level of service and availability is similar to what you would expect from a hotel, which is a great bonus. ‏
