About Grandio Party Hostel

You can sleep when you’re dead so DON’T expect to get any here.

Grandio, one of the only true party places on this earth that welcomes alcoholics, lost souls and arty people with talent but no direction and audiences, the living breathing creature that is constantly evolving, the place with a crazy cult following.

Upcoming Events:

- 31st December: New Years Eve. Celebrate the coming of a new year by going to the city centre of Budapest and listening to live music and setting off your own fireworks.

On site bar, or beer sold by our staff, or strawpedoes for breakfast..... or the get f*cked bucket... these are all ways in which we fuel our thirsty and party hard guests (and staff).

When the bar is shut, we move to the late room, the den of noise and naughtiness, with a sex bed depending on how adventurous you are.

Every night our staff take you out on different activities in the city. These range from Backpackers fancy dress parties, to pub crawls, to live music nights, to karaoke nights, which take you to our personal favourite (plus some of the cheapest) bars in the city. If you feel like doing something a little different, never fear, as our staff have their finger on the pulse of the city's nightlife and are able to recommend differently nightly activities depending on your tastes.

We have a live music venue in the basement, which has different acts on every night providing for all different tastes in music. Every Sunday they let us use it to showcase the talent we play host to with our own open-mic night in which we use our own instruments which include a plethora of guitars, drum kit, piano, violin, piano accordions, plus more as well as our very own sound technician!

The staff have all been hand picked, which might seem a bit wild when they are walking around dressed up in dressing gowns with a beer in one hand, but this is the Grandio uniform, wear whatever makes you feel comfortable, or we got from the euro store that day.

If you think you can challenege us, we'll probably rise to it, if not, we'll respect you for trying! Check out the jager train videos....

The place itself is as wild as our staff and guests, decorated by street artists from around the world it houses a games room with table football and ping pong, the bar, a secret restaurant, which we could tell you about, but we'd have to kill you, a mix of rooms, some en suite, with varying numbers of beds, and if you're lucky, a loo with a view.

If your not too hungover during the day we can organise daytime activites for you. We can organise historical and cultural tours as well as fun activities such as paintballing, beer biking, quad biking and many more.

So the arty amongst you, might appreciate the fact that all of our rooms, the outside and insides of everything are decorated by the best street artists of Budapest, and have been added to by global artists who liked what they saw and wanted to add to it. We have a band, called The Grandio Journals, which changes members every week when we practice in the open mic night, and we welcome all talent to perform here.

As well as that, we are in a great location, especially if you like drinking as we are in the heart of the bar district, the only rules we have are about respect to our guests and neighbours, and other than that we want you to have a wild time, because we will be first!

Please note, like the name says, this IS a party hostel, we go out every night, some people drink in the day time, there is a bar, sometimes sex, and a lot of fun. If you don't like these things, please try a calmer hostel, like Carpe Noctem Vitae.

Regrettably, due to previous experience, we can no longer accept bookings for people over 40. If you have booked and are outside this age, please contact us and we will help find you alternative accommodation.

Traveller's reviews and ratings

Le prix de la nuit peut paraître cher par rapport aux services offerts ! En effet il ne faut pas être très regardant sur l'état général. Cependant ce n'est pas si cher que cela quand on voit la moyenne des prix à Buda.

L'arrivée est un peu rock&roll;, il faut déjà trouver le réception, qui est à l'étage et pour cela il faut trouver une âme charitable qui vous ouvre la porte.

Bref, un fois ces petits désagréments passés, l'endroit est génial car on y trouve des gens de tout horizons (la moyenne d'âge tourne autour de 22-23ans). Tout le monde est très ouvert à la discussion.

L'endroit est vraiment très agréable surtout dans la chaleur estivale de Buda, vous pouvez boire votre bière dans la "jungle" en toute quiétude.

Attention séjourner la bas uniquement si vous prévoyez de faire la fête et peu dormir, cependant un petit détail intéressant : les lits sont très confortables !
