Flow Hostel

Superb, can't fault it. Very clean and well appointed Close to Airport Shuttle stop and Metro so a great base to explore Budapest

The pictures are completely different the bedding sheets were dirty with stains no air conditioning working just to make you aware charge of towel is overpriced of 5 euros there is no free toiletries or shower gel in bathroom it’s not private shower it’s shared they hostel have given false information about what they offer

All of the reception staff I encountered were gentle, helpful people. The overall vibe was very calm and relaxed which I really appreciated. I also liked the small extras in the sleep space; a curtain, a light, a shelf, outlets and a cupboard. There is a quiet area which is a nice touch. The pillows could do with replacing. Sadly the cleaning staff did not have the same approach to the guests as the reception staff. The woman cleaning the kitchen in the morning talked on her cell phone or with another cleaner while she barely paid attention to the cleaning. She banged plates so loudly that my entire room was woken up at 8am even though our room was not close to the kitchen. Also, our private bathroom had mold on the tiles as there is not proper ventilation. It might be a good idea to cut a hole over the bathroom door to help air flow and to employ a more conscientious cleaner. Lastly, there are 61 steps leading up to the hostel. I have a bad knee and the amount of steps did not affect my knee at all as there is a railing and the steps are not steep. However, my suitcase has been badly scratched as I had to painstakingly drag it up step by step. It is not the end of the world but something to keep in mind if you have heavy and/or expensive luggage. Despite my criticisms I would stay again due to the reception staff and the overall calm atmosphere.

Nice set up in dorms with privacy curtain and plug socket and light by bed. Lots of big common areas which gives nice feel to hostel and really good kitchen. Location is great for public transport links and can walk to some central locations. Would stay here again next time in Budapest.

The room was good, a slight complaint in that the pictures clearly show towels provided but you have to pay for these. The rest of the hostel is good and the staff were helpful however we didn't get any sleep. From 1am until 4am people were banging about, having loud conversations and arguing around the building.
