I've been to many hostels in Budapest, all of which were cheap. Some are dirty, some are noisy, some are both. Metropolis is the fantastic exception to the rule.Every space is cozy and home-like: nice lights, very clean, silent and always warm. The toilets are always clean and, although there are only two showers, there are four sinks you can use. We did not only like the fact that all is clean and not noisy, but also how clever all is: the room had a double bed (with two individual duvets and pillows), a small table next to it and also two double pegs on the walls and two different types of lights. In short, space is really well-organised. Because rooms don't face each-other nobody can see you at night, even if someone goes out of their rooms. The other spaces in the hostel (fridge and cupboards) are equally clever, as they are clearly marked with the colour of your room, so there's no problem in finding anybody's belongings in your space. All looks new and tidy and the common spaces (living-room and kitchen) have more facilities than regular hostels: carpets, flat-screen TV, puffs, oven... Plus, there's free sugar, tea and coffee in the kitchen and it's not far from the city centre. We loved it and I'll totally go back there when visiting Budapest again. :)
Really clean and nice place to stay for one or more days with your friends, family or in couple.
Very nice staff present for all information.
Perfect quality/price ratio and not far from the center.
10/10 !
We just returned from our trip to the Metropolis Hostel. We really loved it. If you are after a quiet hostel in a good location with good facilities and comfortable beds, book this hostel.Its by no means a party hostel. There is not much socialising going on and people just do their thing. We recommend to use google maps to find the hostel as it is not that easy to find depending on which direction you arrive from (the sign is facing only one way).The public transport options around the hostel were great and you can get into the city really quickly by bus or metro.
We used the kitchen on both nights we stayed at the hostel. It was clean and we could cook basic meals. There is a big ALDI supermarket just across the street which made life a lot easier.Only fault I could find is that you get charged if you arrive after 10pm which sometimes you cannot help if your transport is running late. There is no 24 hour reception but the owner was really friendly and gave us all the information we needed for our stay.This is a safe, well-located hostel with great facilities. So if you are looking for a good night sleep in a quiet hostel. I can´t recommend this hostel more.
Spent there three night in October (27.10-30.10) with my friendRooms, kitchen, rest rooms, EVERYTHING were very clean, owner was really friendly, he answered all our questions about the city and gave us some advise. Neighbors were calm, no one smoked or got drunk in the hostelThanks for hospitality! If we visit Budapest again, we’ll stay in this hostel! :)
This place is run precisely how a hostel should be run. It's very organised with great attention to detail and from the moment you check in you can see that everything has been done with care and quality. I'll warn party people to stay away, it is a calm and tranquil place that is aimed at couples and sightseers that want to use their days to the fullest and get a good night's sleep (which is easy on these huge comfortable beds!) Great facilities, quirky building, helpful staff that give you a lot of information and one of the best value hostels I've ever been to in my life. Actually, just one of the best hostels overall I've ever been to. Really top marks!
Most friendly and helpful receptionist great first impression of hotel. Couldn't have been more helpful, Fortunately everything about the hostel was great and I don't give praise lightly. It was clean, stylish, spacious room with shower and hairdryer Room itself was well equipped and comfortable. Nice kitchen area & two bathrooms. Would definitely stay here again when visiting the area, and would recommend to others.
