Lonely Planet review

One of the very first independent hostels for travellers in Pest, Red Bus is a central and well-managed place, with four large and airy rooms with four to five beds, as well as five private rooms for up to three people. It’s quiet with a lot of rules – a full 16 are listed in reception – so don’t expect to party here. No lift.

Description

Okay guys you've read the competitions blurb, so why choose the Red Bus Hostel...? Our rating's not the highest, our staff's not the hippest On the plus side we are from12 Euros per night the cleanest, safest and one of the most established hostels in Budapest ( and in this business, in this City that's saying something!) The hostel is situated in the absolute heart of the City, in a beautiful typically Budapest courtyard building, within easy walking distance of all the main sights and the informative local Hungarian staff can fill you in on what's hot and what's not. Now, all though we wish for you to enjoy Budapest's nightlife, we also think that guests don't want to be awoken from their sleep by singing drunks, hence our policy of no partying in the hostel after midnight, and definitely no stag parties! Come on guys, there's a million places to party just please not in our hostel. And plus the neighbors give us hell. Rant over... as veteran backpackers ourselves we do genuinely hope to offer affordable accommodation for backpackers or budget travellers as you are known these days...The hostel has 4 bed dorms, singles, doubles and triples. There's free internet and a huge kitchen which is your's to use. The showers have hot water, the toilets are cleaned so regularly. Clean, fresh bed linen is provided. Like everywhere else there's internet,lockers, laundry, free baggage storage for once you've checked out, 24 hour access and bi lingual staff. Please let us know your arrival time, also important to inform us if it has changed! For bookworms there is the ever popular Red Bus Bookstore slap bang next door where you can trade you're well thumbed paperbacks. Cancel or change reservations 48 hours before your estimated arrival time. During Sziget Fesztival Season (3rd-14th AUG 2012) the cancellatios are accepted 7 days before.Thank you.Special Conditions for NYE ( Dec 28th to Jan 1st) cancellations are accepted 7 days before.
