Nice comfy room and bed. Clean. THIN WALLS! The staff was very friendly and helpfull. Close to everything and easy to get around by foot, bus, tram and metro. Very friendly and nice hotel/hostel with activities. The only problem was the thin walls so bring headphones or plugs. Would recommend for the price (Euro 30-40 / night Singel room) Best regards

My second time here and perfect stay again! Last time I stayed in a private room but this time none available so stayed in a dorm, also excellent! Spotlessly clean, good width and length of beds, linen looks brand new, comfortable, respectful room mates and lovely and quiet so easy to get good nights sleep! Great common shared spaces for socialising or working. Excellent strength wifi. I liked the area, right by the tram and metro making getting around easy. Delicious fresh and varied breakfast well worth it with cooked food (bacon, eggs, beans), pastries, fresh fruits and juice machine, the lady at breakfast Olga is very friendly and constantly ensures everything is topped up and clean and fresh. Highly recommend!

Hostel was just okay. When I arrived there was a rotten apple in my bed and the shower wasn't clean. I booked an airport shuttle at reception for my flight and once I came down for the shuttle, the receptionist told me they made a mistake and there was no booking. Therefore I needed to pay 3x the price for an Uber at 4am.. Although common areas were nice and was in a good location.

Probably one of the best hostels. The hostel is centrally located, easy to get from airport, near a Lidl, Jewish Quarters, train station, etc. The staff was amazing and the lobby area was beautiful. The hostel has fun activities for guest to participate while staying such as wine night, Bingo, etc. The rooms were cleaned regularly which was nice. The only downside is you may end up with the wrong hostel guest in your room. Unfortunately, our room had a person who came back late every night and got upset when others were getting ready at 7-9am.

Excellent value, especially as breakfast was included. Really nice room (private bathroom for us, window onto central “courtyard”, quiet [might be due to January occupancy]) and good facilities (kitchen, bar, cafe) on the ground floor. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I enjoyed my stay here at Maverick :) I think the double private rooms lack a bit of style and are on the lower end when it comes to amenities (no telephone in the room, no dnd signs, less of the typical hotel add ons) but it's really not a big deal especially for the price. We did have a room facing a blaring light that made nighttime seem like mid-afternoon so if you can only sleep in pitch dark that might be a concern. However, other than that it was pretty pleasant. The lobby area is great. It's lively and fun. There's also a shared kitchen which is a huge plus if you want to save some extra money since eating out in the city can get a bit expensive. The area isn't my favorite part of the city so that may be something to keep in mind. Overall, I would stay here again.

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel, it is very warm in winter, the temperature in the rooms can be adjusted. I appreciate the fact that everything was clean and well maintained. The lobby and coworking area are magnificent, I have never seen such luxury in a hostel at such low prices. I will recommend this hotel to anyone, I have stayed in 3 other hostels around Budapest and this is the best in my opinion. Breakfast at a very affordable price.

Great location and cosy room.

The room is cosy and warm with elevator is the best part! The only problem might be have a loving slamming door neighbor(s) Bathroom is the best place, the heat able to keep the showroom dry so you wont feel nasty. Front desk is 24h and very helpful. The public kitchen utility quite complete although we only use the refrigerator and water machine. Highly recommended! Will choose if come back.
