About Thumbs Up Hostel

This isn't your average hostel !

We can show you the real Budapest, with the authentic bars/clubs where the locals go.

In fact, the 3 famous spots (Szimpla, Fogash, Morrison's) are just a few minute walk from us. Also, the best

supermarket's and 24 hour mini marts are even closer for the preparty meal or late night snack.

If you want to explore Buda, the tram line is just one corner away and will take you there in few minutes. The famous Budapest baths are easy to access by the metro line.

We want you to feel just like home, where you can chill in the lounge with free hookah, free computers, kitchen to cook something in the, or relax in your dorm and stay in touch with friends thanks to wi-fi access.

I'm Mike, the owner, and will be there if you need any tips to fully enjoy your visit from sights to where to get the best Hungarian wine.

We are located in the very center of Pest with easy access to bars, nightclubs, public transportation, walking tours, caving, hop on/hop off tours, festivals and bath houses. Our hostel provides a great atmosphere. Free coffee and internet, best overall convenience. This is your home away from home where you can cook, chill and get the right info on how to make the best out of your visit.

First of all I would like to thank all of those who choose us or recommended us to others. Don't forget, the hostel is nothing by itself, the people make it what it is!!!

I wish you all a very safe journey!

I totally agree this review !!! (totalement d'cacord avec cette critique) I lived the same thing ! Mike is really a good adviser.

"I read the other average reviews but still chose this hostel because of the perfect location.

It turned out to be a totally different experience. The staff are actually here to have fun with you, not just to give directions. They even walked me to Szimpla bar to have a beer. I had to leave in the middle of next day but they let me checkout later without problem. I understand that some people may feel theres "too much freedom" here, but thats what i liked : i felt like part of a family."
