Hostels are generally known to be one of the cheapest forms of accommodation on the market. That doesn’t just go for Budapest, but pretty much every place in the world.

However, that’s not the only good reason for staying at a hostel. The unique vibe and social aspect are what make Budapest hostels TRULY special. Head down to the common room, make new friends, share travel stories and tips, head out on a pub crawl of Budapest’s famous ruin bars, or just have a great time with like-minded travellers from all over the world – you won’t get that opportunity in any other accommodation. 

Budapest’s hostel scene is something I absolutely LOVE. There’s hardly any other city in Europe that offers so many accommodation options. The quality and standard of hostels in Budapest are insanely high. You’ll find plenty of places with the highest possible reviews and once you arrive, you’ll definitely know why.

Super cheap prices, modern and stylish amenities, and some really cool deals even make the hostel scene in Budapest a backpacker’s dream come true. If you’re looking for a party atmosphere, and the city has some of the best party hostels in Europe.

But let’s talk more about money and rooms. Budapest’s hostels normally have three options: dorms, pods, and private rooms (although pods are rare). Some hostels even offer large private rooms for a group of friends and even apartments. The general rule here is the more beds in a room, the cheaper the price.

Obviously, you won’t have to pay as much for an 8-bed dorm as you would for a single bed private bedroom. To give you a rough overview of Budapest’s prices, I’ve listed the average numbers below:

• Dorm room (mixed or female-only): $9-12 USD/night
• Private room: $37-45 USD/night

When looking for hostels, you’ll find the best options on HOSTELWORLD. This platform offers you a super safe and efficient booking process. All hostels are displayed with a rating and previous guest reviews. You can also filter your personal travel needs easily and find the perfect place for you.

Since the city is split between the two sides, Buda and Pest, you’ll have to decide where you want to stay in Budapest. While both sides of the river are perfectly connected and offer great hostel options, it does pay off to base yourself closer to the attractions that you want to visit. I’ve listed my favorite neighborhoods and districts in Budapest below, to make the decision a little bit easier for you:

• Várkerület – District I Várkerület, or the Castle District, is one of the most iconic neighbourhoods in Budapest. Located on the Buda side of the River Danube, this district offers quaint cobblestone streets, grand medieval architecture and picturesque views. If you’re looking for a quiet hostel and cheap accommodation near Buda Castle, you’ll more likely find it here. It’s also super safe, perfect for female solo travellers.
• Terézváros – District VI, Terézváros, is one of the smallest yet most densely populated neighbourhoods in Budapest. Located on the Pest side of the Danube, this lively district is a hub of excitement and activity. It’s located near the Parliament building, so if you’re looking to stay in the city centre but want somewhere quiet at night, here is the place.
• Belváros – Located on the eastern edge of the River Danube, Belváros in Pest is the downtown and heart of the city centre. This is where you’ll find a variety of historic and cultural attractions, including the Parliament Building, the Chain Bridge, and the Central Market Hall. It’s also where some of the best lively hostels are located.

Now that you know what to expect from hostels in Budapest, let’s have a look at the best options…

Backpacking Budapest is now a very popular summer pursuit. From party hostels to quiet ones. From unique to boutique. My run-through of the best accommodation in Budapest has something for everybody, from solo travelers to groups on a stag do.

So without further ado, here are my top 5 hostels.

1. Overall Best Hostel in Budapest – Hostel One

The overall top pick of Budapest hostels is Hostel One. Appropriately named for the best hostel in Budapest in 2021, it’s number one through and through. Rightly claiming not to be in the business of beds the Hostel One team are all about the hostel vibes, and they’re party vibes at that!

The hostel is big with spacious dorms and they also provide security lockers for each guest. All who stay here are invited to have a communal dinner each night and then let good times roll at the bar.

Drinking competitions that are not for the faint-hearted or poor livered. Hostel One is a one-stop shop for solo travelers looking for a great Budapest backpackers hostel to make some friends at.

Why you’ll love this hostel:

• Incredible rating
• Amazing and welcoming vibes
• 24-hour reception

The hostel may have a party atmosphere, but they also want you to have a comfortable stay in the mixed dorms – which come complete with free linen by the way. A little privacy goes a long way, they offer specially designed POD beds to help you sleep soundly. There’s also luggage storage if you’re arriving early or leaving late, and there’s a locker for each bunk, too.

Now, if you’re not massively into partying but rather want to explore the city, you’ve chosen the right place! Join one of the free walking tours around Budapest, learn more about the city’s history thanks to your local guide and meet some like-minded travellers on the way. A little local knowledge always goes a long way, so you’ll even get to experience parts and sides of the city that the average backpacker won’t see.

If you’re still unsure about Hostel One, simply have a look at the reviews and ratings. With an incredible ranking and over 3000 reviews, you can be 100% sure that your stay will be more than epic!

2. Runner-up Best Hostel in Budapest – The Loft

It must be said that the standard of youth hostels in Budapest is next level. There are so many incredible, highly recommended hostels in Budapest that you’re legit spoiled for choice. On that note, be sure to check out The Loft.

Only slightly edged out as the best hostel, this is the place to stay in Budapest if you do plan on sleeping, even for an hour or two, during your stay in the city. With their own guest kitchen, The Loft makes it super easy for you to stick to your budget, especially when it comes to food.

The Loft is super homely and incredibly relaxed and the team is down for a good time; it’s hard not to fall in love with their on-point hostel vibe, making it an easy pick for one of the best hostels in Budapest. Even with such high standards across the city, this is one of the coolest youth hostels that Budapest has to offer.

Why you’ll love this hostel:

• Small but homely
• Very kind and helpful staff
• Unique style

One thing I have to mention straight away is the PERFECT review score. Hardly any hostel manages to hold a 10/10 ranking, especially with more than 2200 reviews from previous travellers. This really shows how incredible Loft Hostel really is. If you’re skeptical, check out the reviews yourself!

The Loft might not be the most modern hostel in Budapest, but it surely offers a unique style and some really homely vibes. The staff goes above and beyond to make their guests feel like they’re staying at a home far away from home.

On top of that, the location couldn’t be better. This is one hostel Budapest couldn’t do without, being right around the corner from famous restaurants, bars, and attractions, but also perfectly connected to public transport stations. It’s a great base to simply chill or explore every inch of the city. The Loft Hostel is a place for REAL travelers – not flashpackers…

3. Best Hostel for Solo Travellers in Budapest – Budapest Bubble

The best hostel for solo travellers in Budapest is Budapest Bubble. Having won countless awards for their kick-ass hostel vibe, awesome hospitality, and great location, Bubble is perfect for solo travellers. Small enough not to be overwhelming but big enough for a sociable and buzzing atmosphere and everyone who comes to Bubble is greeted with a warm smile. It’s definitely one of those places where you just extend your stay once…then twice…then maybe even a third!

Be flexible in your schedule if coming to Budapest Bubble (if you can); it’s one of the best hostels in Budapest and it’ll capture your heart!

Why you’ll love this hostel:

By now you can probably guess what’s coming… that’s right, review and rating time! Budapest Bubble is another hostel with incredible ratings. With a high ranking and over 2500 reviews, you’re in for a great time if you decide to stay here. The epic location of the hostel definitely plays a big part in that. It is easy to reach from every train station, the bus station, and the airport. Located between the two main underground lines; M2 Astoria and M3 Kálvin Tér, getting around the city will be a breeze.

Enough about ratings, let’s talk details! Budapest Bubble offers amazing amenities at a high standard for only a little bit of money. If you want to get the most bang out of your buck, this hostel is the right choice. Free tea and coffee, free internet and wifi, free linen, 24-hour hot water, clean facilities, and a kitchen are just the tips of the iceberg.

If you want to head out to explore the city, stop by at the reception and ask the staff for their recommendations. They know the city by heart and have some amazing hidden gems up their sleeve! A bit of local knowledge always goes a long way…

4. Best Cheap Hostel in Budapest – 11th Hour Cinema Hostel & Apartments

Looking for cheap hostels in Budapest? Then budget travelers should look no further. The best cheap hostel in Budapest is the 11th Hour Cinema Hostel Budapest!

If are you’re heading to Budapest with your crew or find yourself gathering a crew at Sziget Festival, be sure to book an apartment at 11th Hour. The apartments are super smart and an awesome way to split the accommodation costs between you and your buddies.

Even if you’re a solo traveller 11th Hour is bang on; the dorms are great and there’s a real sociable feel to the place. As one of the best budget hostels in Budapest, 11th Hour has dirt cheap rooms throughout the year and offers free pub crawls. Need I say more?

Why you’ll love this hostel:

• Huge common area
• Free coffee
• Ideal location

It’s literally the perfect hostel for travelers looking for fun in a place not too big, not too small, with quiet rooms on the upper floors and a friendly common area in the basement and courtyard. There’s plenty of space to hang out, but also plenty of space to pull back a little bit and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Note that the age limit is between 18 and 34 years and they’re pretty strict on that. Also, the rooms aren’t equipped with aircon, which has hardly been a problem according to other travellers though.

Keen on exploring the best sights in Budapest? The super friendly staff offers the best insider tips and can even help you with booking guided tours.

If you’d rather head out by yourself, no issue! You’re ideally located within walking distance to all the major sights and nightlife areas in Budapest. Strategically squeezed between the two major metro lines, you can get to any part of the city within minutes.

5. Best Party Hostel in Budapest – Grandio Party Hostel

Budapest is one of the best party cities in Europe – so you’ll find plenty of party-focused hostels. If you’re looking for THE BEST hostel for a party in Budapest, you’ve gotta get yourself to Grandio Party Hostel Budapest. There are so many party hostels in Budapest and everyone you talk to will recommend somewhere different but Grandio will be mentioned frequently during your chats. From dusk ’til dawn and from dawn ’til dusk this place is pumping!

I wouldn’t mention it if it wasn’t a reason to book this hostel. If so many previous travelers have loved their stay, chances are that you’ll like it just as much!

Located in the seventh district of Pest, you’ll reach the city’s most famous bars and clubs within a ten-minute walk. Budapest is a really walkable city so you can reach most of the sights, including the castle and the spas, in under half an hour on foot (there are public transport options around as well).

Another Hostel for Solo Travellers in Budapest – Carpe Noctem Vitae

AKA Vitae Hostel, Carpe Noctem Vitae is the best hostel in Budapest for solo travellers who want a relaxed party vibe and the opportunity to chat and get to know their hostel buddies before they get totally smashed with them!

Carpe Noctem Vitae is a really friendly and welcoming hostel: whenever anyone leaves they get clapped out by the whole crew! Seriously! It’s so cool! With countless decks of cards, a foosball table, and Jenga, there is so much good old-fashioned fun to be had at Carpe Noctem Vitae.

One of a family of five party hostels run by Budapest Party Hostels, Carpe Noctem Vitae is the most chilled out of them. Of all the Budapest hostels, I think this one has the most backpacker board games.

Another of Budapest’s fantastic cheap hostels, Maverick Hostel & Ensuites offers great value for money and a memorable stay in an old palace located in the heart of the city! The staff are super welcoming and are incredibly helpful. As well as this, they also organise social events four times a week, including wine tasting, quiz nights and pub crawls.

Romantic Hostel for Couples in Budapest – Lavender Circus

Lavender Circus is a truly wonderful youth hostel in Budapest. Well, to be fair, in terms of decor, a high standard of service, and the general vibe, it’s more of a boutique hotel.

Ideal for digital nomads who are keen on staying in a sociable hostel where they can still focus and be productive, Avenue Hostel is a real gem. There is a real family feel to Avenue Hostel and it’s a wonderful place to hang out in.

If you’re more of a culture vulture than a party panda, then Avenue is for you. It’s the kinda place to stay in Budapest where you can share a few beers and head out into town, but for those who wanna hit the sack, there’s a 10 pm quiet curfew in place.

One of the Most Unique Budapest Hostels – Baroque Hostel

The Baroque Hostel is another fine budget option for backpackers looking to stay near the famous Hero Square. The building was previously owned by a wealthy Baron’s family and has been preserved in the original baroque-bohemian style with a fresh, modern, minimalist design.

Baroque’s great location puts you in the middle of the action. The hostel is located near the city park (Vrosliget), and most of the famous sights: the Museum of Fine Arts, the Art Hall, the Szechenyi Thermal Baths, and the Skating Rink.

Private rooms start at around €32, which is more or less in line with many other budget hostels in Budapest. I appreciate that the Baroque hostel offers low-capacity dorm rooms (many 4-person dorms) so that you never feel like you’re sleeping in an overcrowded flophouse. Good job Baroque Hostel!

A Hostel for the Socialable Backpackers in Budapest – Maverick Urban Lodge

Few hostels in Budapest can match the epic social atmosphere found at Maverick Urban Lodge. They really do go all out, by providing free organised social events including wine tasting nights and pub crawls (though you do need to pay for the pub crawl). If you’re looking for a social hostel stay, the Maverick Urban Lodge fits the bill to a T.

The location of Maverick Urban Lodge is top-notch as well. The building is located one minute away from the most central tram and subway lines and just a few steps from the Great Market Hall. All the top sights of the city are within walking distance; you don’t even need a public transportation ticket.

Maverick Urban Lodge is also great because they also have plenty of common areas to hang out in, including a roof terrace. If you book a private room, you will have your own private ensuite bathroom. But the dorm rooms are pretty cool too, featuring dual outlets, curtains, and reading lamps to provide privacy and comfort. There is a fully-equipped kitchen for guests to use as well as super fast wi-fi. Sweet deal.

Best Hostel with a Private Room in Budapest – AVAIL Hostel Budapest

AVAIL Hostel is a super highly-recommended hostel in Budapest perfect for groups of travellers or couples. Being more of a guesthouse and apartment rental than a backpacker’s hostel, AVAIL doesn’t have normal open dorms. Rather you and your crew can book into a 3-bed or 4-bed private apartment.

Located in the old Jewish district, AVAIL places you right in the heart of Budapest’s cultural and historical hub. Luckily enough, the ruin bars are only a 5-minute walk away. Maybe more like 10-minutes when you’re on your way back!

One of the Best-Located Hostels – 7×24 Central Hostel Budapest

7×24 Central is another Budapest backpackers hostel that caters to groups. They have a cracking selection of private dorms and apartments, sleeping up to 4-people a piece. 7×24 Central is the best budget hostel in Budapest for groups of travellers and they offer great value for money.
