Marco Polo is a well organized, friendly hostel. The front desk staff were really nice to my student group (and they in turn were very well behaved!), and one of the ladies at the desk helped recommended a nearby restaurant for our group and helped me make a reservation. We ate the first night at the restaurant/night club/breakfast room next... More

Great place for a cheap and cheerful stop in Budapest. Don't expect a spa, fitness centre or pool. Room was clean and bed comfortable. We had a three bed room with private facilities. Bigger rooms for groups are available. Probably best to go for a room on a higher floor as there's a basement night club. We weren't disturbed at... More

I recently stayed at this hostel as part of an organized tour. A couple in our group were staying in a twin room, so only took one key with them. They went out for a few hours one night and came home to find that someone had gone in their room, through their stuff and stole their cameras and iPods.... More

Location is not far from the main station (Keleti pályaudvar‎), close to a metro stop (Blaha Lujza tér‎) and also a bus stop (Uránia‎). So well connected. Lots of bars, restaurants, clubs nearby. The reception recommended a place nearby for dinner (Bajor Sarok, a couple of blocks away) and I really enjoyed the food there. And nice Czech Pilsner beer... More

One of the best hostels I stayed in on my recent trip around Europe. The largest dorm I stayed in, at 12 beds, but having it separated into 2 bed areas means it didn't feel that large, you got plenty of privacy but had plenty of people to meet and socialise with if you liked! Bathroom had two showers, toilets... More

You can get ther walking from the train station; it's close to a metro station and you can walk from there to the river. That means its is really well located! The room was pretty good (we had a double ensuite) as we had 3 very good nights durong our stay. Cheap breakfast downstairs but don't expect too much --... More

Stayed here and had a great time. So close to the metro system, nightclub underneath , breakfast, really allowed me to enjoy my stay in Budapest. No curfew, staff can be a little annoyed when you arrive back late but generally very friendly More

I stayed here because a friend who I was traveling with is on a tighter budget than me...but I didn't mind at all. I loved staying in hostels when I was younger. Three of us shared a private quad. The bathroom got dirty and needed cleaning. The beds were fine. Plenty of light and electrical outlets. Some of the reception... More

Read in hostel book that they pick you up for free at train station, called, woman said this was not the case, gave us the wrong directions to hostel. Internet was broken at hostel, breakfast was very poor (stale cereal, watered down coffee/tea). Beds were comfortable but it was very warm in the rooms, also not enough outlets. More

We were a large group staying for a couple of days in Budapest in 2008 and 2009. Both years we stayed at Marco Polo and were very pleased. We stayed in two 12 bed dorms and a double. All were very clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful. They booked transportation to the airport for us and helped us... More
