This place with the friendly name is certainly a cut above the rest.
Pal's Hostel is not a regular hostel but a chain of apartments around St Stephen’s Square. We offer dorm beds and private rooms as well as complete apartments. You can find our reception and lobby in the middle of them. There you can meet up with fellow travellers, store bags, use our guest computers or just adore the view on the Basilica from the Balcony :) All accommodations at Pal's Hostel have free WIFI and access to a fully equipped kitchen.
Location
This is as prime a location as you can find, right at the heart of the city.
If you are travelling as a group (of 10 or more people), check out our special rates for Group bookings.

Very spacious apartments with good kitchen and bathroom. And with a nice view over the Istavan Bazilika. Will for sure stay here again when back in Budapest the next time.read less

You can’t ask for more central location, yet it was peaceful and quiet, day and night.
It was cleaner that most 3-4 star hotels I stayed at. We were given an apartment with private bathroom for the price of a private room with a shared bathroom – a great off-season deal! The place was very spacious, enough to fit five people. It was impeccably clean, had all requisite amenities and stoked with plates and cutlery, enough to fix a simple meal.
There was a small problem with heating but after calling the reception they immediately sent a staff member to fix the thermostat, and the night passed warm and nice.
Relevant only for people with mobility limitations: Tto reach the apartment one has to first check-in at the reception (access through two automated doors, ascend 2nd floor with an elevator) and then walk around the corner and enter through another automated door and ascend 5th floor with an elevatorread less

The apartment was better than a 5 star room and my own house! It was amazing; big, comfy, very clean. The staff were great and very friendly. Great location in the heart of the city.

It was an incredibly located apartment. One air conditioner wasn’t working well in bedroom which made it tough sleeping and when we called it was the hostel type reaction. So we lived with it. The apartment was clean and like I said many (too many) times already the view of the apartment was amazing. Worth it for sure!read less

The rooms were lovely (and warm for winter!), with comfy beds, a warm shower and fully stocked kitchen. Pal's is located right next to the Basilica, with bars/restaurants just around the corner and the Danube down the street! You couldn't ask for a better location. Staff is very helpful too. One thing I want to note - I stayed my first night solo and was put in a separate building. I arrived at night, and did not see a single person in that building on any of the floors as I came in - the room was a large apartment with 4 separate rooms and a kitchen & bathroom. As a solo female traveller, I didn't feel 100% safe staying in this building alone, especially since I'd have to go down the street and up the stairs again to reception if I needed help. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend this place for solo travel as I feel safer knowing there are other people nearby. But overall, the benefits outweigh this minor blip and I would stay here again with friends! Thanks Pal for the great time!read less

Had an amazing experience here. Spacious room, nice fully equipped kitchen with a dining and the windows open to a beautiful view of the street. Except the beds everything was near perfect.
