Excellent location and just a few steps away from Astoria subway station (the bus to and from the aiport passes right by it). Judi is an outstanding manager and she will give you great tips on places to see and things to do in this great city.

I could stay here so comfortable.The hotel owner and her partner were very very helpful and kindness. They taught me Budapest sightseeing even though I send rude emails and I couldn’t speak English very well. It’s my first time to stay the hotel which like airb. The wall of these rooms was thin.I could hear noises from next room and also I made noises too. That is the only point of concern.

Very nice location in the centre of Budapest, near all the main attraction and 1min away from the station Astoria. The host of the hotel Judit and her collegue are very nice and helpful. They are literally one call away if you need something! The hotel is an old building but don't judge it from the outside! We had a wonderful and spacious room with a big window that makes the room very luminous. Highly recommended, we will be back here if we happen to come back to Budapest!

perfect location and great place to stay
I had a great stay at Gaia hostel, lovely big clean room and easy access to the bathrooms. Judit is a fantastic host, really friendly with great suggestions about where to visit. The hostel itself is in a fantastic location, right by Astoria so easy to get on transport and easy to walk around the Pest area.

Great location
Great location in the inner city. The upscale tourist places are toward the river, while the entertainment district is inland. The staff are very helpful and the rooms are comfortable, although not soundproof.

It was hot but still enjoyed it overall.
Wonderful staff. The hostel is small and it's on the 4th floor of an old building but there is an elevator. Despite the fact that it's small we didn't really run into the other guests and never had to wait for showers or toilets which was good. The only thing our double room was small and didn't have air con and it was around 36 degrees when we went so sometimes had trouble sleeping because it was too hot. There was a small fan thing that didn't work so we left the windows open which made it loud and still didn't really help cause no breeze blew in and the bathrooms got really hot. Though it's really close to the metro and to shops and supermarkets. The bus from the airport drops you off just around the corner so it's handy. And they let us check out late which was awesome.

The manager/owner did everything she could to make my stay comfortable and memorable. It is clear that many people return here again and again. Of course, there is no AC, so people using it in summer are taking a chance that it is not too hot. It was fine while I was there, 85 F in the day 65 F at night.
