We stayed a few nights during January 2026. This is such a cute place! We loved the spacious living area. It was nice to have a kitchen and a refrigerator too. Very safe place to stay. There are several places to eat and nice grocery stores near by.

The staff was lovely and welcoming of me and my dog. The location was central to all activities and very close to the Christmas market. Walking to the Buda Castle was also fun across the bridge. I loved the art on the walls!

Great! Very good price and very good location. It's a basic studio apartment. Easy self-check-in. Only suggestions would be to have separate listings for the two locations, and to accept credit cards rather than cash only.

We stayed at their offsite apartments. The building is dated and not wholly owned by lavander and at first it put my partner off upon entry, but when we got to our apartment, we were both so impressed by it, absolutely incredible and definitely worth every penny. We even had a piano in our room lol. Right around the corner from one of the harry potter bars, the forsale pub and the best shooting range I've been to. I cannot express how happy I am with the accommodation and location. 10/10

Pleasant Staff, Cash Only, Two Locations

Staff was very friendly, good value for accomodations. Wish I had known: (1) there are at least two different addresses pretty far apart, and they might divide your group between locations. They were nice about letting me cancel one of my rooms (booked another more expensive hotel closer to main location, so I could stay near my teenagers). (2) the website said I could pay by Visa, but then I found out after arrival, that they wanted full payment in CASH instead. My bank wont let me withdraw enough cash from an ATM to cover an extended stay, nor did I want my two teenage girls wandering around town carrying that much cash. I cannot understate what a hassle it was trying to work with bank transfers to their preferred parties (many hours on internet and phone). Eventually they agreed to accept Western Union, which was fast and easy. For me, the juice was not worth the squeeze. But the girls had a fantastic time, felt safe and welcome.

Poor condition and not complying with the agreed

Furniture conditions are poor, very different from the photos provided. The floor It is not mentioned anywhere in the description that you should climb 3 floors by stairs, in a smelly and poorly maintained building. The floor trembles when walking in the room and common areas, and also when tram passes in front of the hostel. There was no headshower available for the room with shared bathroom. A guy from staff was lost and didn't know exactly what to do. I left for the day out and he called me in the afternoon telling me they would move me for a room with proper shower. I refused to return to the hotel as I was far making tourism and he informed the keys would be there when I returned at evening. When that happened, a girl from staff said I'd have to pay to move rooms (opposite of what was informed earlier). Finally, after leaving the hotel, I received a message requesting the payment, which I had already did one day before leaving - but for some reason the staff forgot to input into the system. I would have many more things to say, however I don't to annoy myself anymore with this kind of people and place.

Lovely quirky accommodation in Central Budapest

Great quirky hostel in the heart of Budapest. Easy to find with great transport links, whilst walking distance to many of the sites. The decor was amazing and made it a unique place to stay. Not an issue for us, but there are quite a lot of steps with no lift so be prepared! Also it's on the main street so quite a bit of traffic noise - but location and quality of accommodation completely offset this.

Good stay in Budapest

The hostel was Ok in general, location was great and theres usually someone in the reception. The room was slightly hot for a summer stay (although fans provided) and the property was relatively quiet for undisturbed sleep. If you have large or number of suitcases, this is not for you as the property is on the top floor and no elevators. However for usual backpackers this should be fine. There is an organised storage box system for each room in the fridge which is nice. The hostel is walkable from Astoria or Kalvin Ter metro stop so you can reach any main sights easily. This is a very characterful hostel which feels cosy. The showers are hot enough and toilets are clean in general. The room I had requires climbing up stairs to the bed as it is placed on the mezzanine floor. It is a nice place with lots of character but if you have lots of luggage or struggle to walk up stairs may be you should consider somewhere else.
