  : Nice hostel with a very nice garden and amazing nice staff. Very cozy and home feeling. Not crowded and enough space. The garden has camping facilities, there is a huge kitchen, enough space to relax and even to wash and dry your clothes or just chill out. Really nice other travellers. Staff seem to be multilingual and good English is spoken anyway! Beds are okay, enough space also for luggage. Hostel is in a quiet area in Budapest, still by public transport you reach the center quick. Trainstation and metro station Budapest Kelenfold is in walking distance, or busstop Neszmelyi Utca (bus 153 or 154 from Kelenfold) is even closer. Shops and cafe is in walking distance. You can prepare your own food and coffee in the kitchen.
  : Maybe one more toiletfacility or showerfacility would be nice, so you do not have to wait in the morning.

Disappointing

  : Close-ish to the bus station. Seems to have an ok kitchen if you want to cook Volunteer staff are quite friendly...even if the owner is rude and untrustworthy.
  : I asked to rest in the kitchen or garden for a few hours after checkout, as I am injured, need a walking stick to move about, and needed to wait out the worst of the heat before I walked to the bus, and the owner said no. "checkout is 11am, and you must be off the property by 12. He was really rude about it, and even didn't seem to want to allow me to leave my bag while I went to find some food nearby. He claimed that I couldn't stay because he had a "full house", which was a total lie. I came back at 3pm for my bag and the place was empty. I asked his volunteer staff if they were booked out, and they said they still had 4 beds available in the 6 bed dorm I was in....and the rest of the place was half booked. The place has a serious fly and mosquito problem. Probably because the "pool" was half dismantled and left in the yard to collect water pools for mosquitos to breed. As there is no air conditioning or even a fan, the windows must remain open, which would be fine if not for the flies and mosquitos and the fact that smokers sit just outside the window and blow smoke into the dorm.
