The one thing that should be stated is that there is not lift and at least 3 flights of very long stairs to climb up.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Although a great place, it doesn’t offer any facility to get up 3 long flight of stairs. With luggage, it was no fun. Also makes it difficult to keep going out on demand because of the climb up the stairs. But location is fantastic and staff is really good. Note that there is no staff onsite or reception at this location.

A four night break at an apartment here and it was an ideal location for us. A warm welcome from the team after a late flight and close to the centre of the city. Highly reccomend and we'll hopefully be back

The hostel is decorated imaginatively, the staff is extremely helpful, providing anything you request if it is available. Only 2 downsides: 1. It is a very old building with no elevator. If you can't walk 4 flights of stairs, this isn’t the place for you. 2. They do NOT take credit cards, even though all the booking websites say they do.They only accept cash or wire transfer and they only let you know this on the day of check-in. They also list the price in euros instead of the local currency. That being said, they are very relaxed about the payment, giving us ample time to get to a bank and withdrawing the money. All things considered I would stay there again. One last thing: the building entrance can be hard to find. Just look for the Museum of Failure; it's just to the left.

Very cute and comfy. The staff was sweet and helpful. The front entry is marked with a small sign that's easy to miss on first glance and there are lots of stairs to climb.

Fabulous Hostel in a great location. The decor is very unique and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. Being an older couple newish to hostels, it's always a little worrying what you arrive to..... But Lavender Circus 🎪❤️ you were fantastic in every way. Absolutely adored our stay here. Thank you!
