Pal's Hostel And Apartments

At Pal’s you will be literally in the heart of the action, just steps away from the St. Stephen’s Cathedral and a short walk away from Deak Ferenc ter which is a transport hub right in the centre of Budapest. You can’t ask for a more central location, yet it was peaceful and quiet, day and night. It was cleaner than most 3-4 star hotels I stayed at. We were given an apartment with a 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 the 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: To 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 elevator.

Cool place, cool people!

Easy check in. Knowledgeable staff. Single bed. Good WiFi. Free towel use. Good size kitchen & fridge. Awesome central location. Balcony beside the kitchen has a fabulous view of St. Stephen's Basilica. Elevator for all floors.

Reception opens at 8am. I would recommend 7am for early check out. The rooms and bathroom are a bit retro. Could do with somewhere to hang up clothes.
