Pretty good location near metro stations, bus lines, rail lines, and the airport bus. You can get anywhere in the city from here without much hassle.
I arrived after the 9pm or 10pm check-in time and at first I was told sorry, you will have to find other accommodations and no, you will not be refunded. They did finally relent and send someone over to at least get me to a bed, though I did have to complete the check in the next morning. I'm actually grateful for that since for some reason that night was particularly busy in Budapest and lodgings were scarce everywhere I looked. Though it did take some convincing. One thing though is that the reception was about a 5 minute walk from the building I actually stayed in which is a long haul for an older guy with luggage...and the bathroom seemed inadequate for the number of guests in the 3 dorm section I stayed in.

The staff is for sure the best thing in this hostel, super available, kind and very welcoming (Ana helped us a lot). Price is affordable. Great position, literally in the center of Budapest.
We can only describe our first impression as we didn't spent the night in the hostel in the end: in our opinion the photos showed in the app weren't matching the reality, the building wasn't very clean, fornitures quite ruined (i.e. a broken shelf inside our room, rubbish inside one locker). We decided after 1h there to change place were to stay, for the same price we found an apartment.
