In the heart of buzzing historic downtown we created a calm, cozy and intimate atmosphere where after a tiring day of traveling or sightseeing you can relax and really feel at home. We turned a beautifully renovated classic Budapest apartment into a small hostel so that you, the budget traveler, can enjoy quality accommodaton at bargain price, and get a glimpse of Budapest as only locals know it. Located within walking distance to most of the sights and surrounded by amazing old buildings, staying here you can not only see Budapest's history but you can live in it for a while! If you want to view more pictures about the property and its surroundings, go to: http://picasaweb.google.hu/downtownoasis.hostel/ We are less than 5 minutes walk away from the famous Vaci street -- Fashion street all-pedestrian shopping area, and the nightlife/entertainment quarter packed with trendy pubs, clubs, cafes, fancy restaurants as well as cheap eateries. Only 3 minutes walk away from blue, yellow and red metro line stops, night buses, and trams to the Buda side - providing an ideal base for exploring Budapest's rich past as well as its vibrant multicultural present. Our friendly staff will be happy to assist you with anything you need, we recommend you the best places to go out and help you to plan the most efficient ways to do your sightseeing. We have only a few rooms and a limited number of guests so if you want a quiet place, personal attention, and good accommodation at a reasonable price, we might be the right choice for you! PLEASE NOTE: as we don't have a 24 hour reception, please inform us about your arrival time. You'll have your own keys so you can come and go as you please all day round. Check-in: 1pm-12 midnight Check out: 11am Of course you can leave your luggage in the hostel until you are ready to leave. Early check-in is possible if your room is free earlier than 1pm - contact us by email. For late check-out, please get advice from the receptionist.

One of the best places we've stayed, felt like home, small place - only three rooms and more like an apartment. Free internet was a bonus, and staff very helpful. Definitely would recommend to all!

this is a GREAT hostel to stay at. Fairly new, everything is superclean and the staff is so eager to help with whatever questions/concerns you may have. A couple minute walk from the cental metro station where all the lines meet. We hope to be back.

The atmosphere is ideal for relaxing in the heart of the city. Staff is super friendly, helpful and fluent in English. Rooms are spotlessly clean. Double room has comfortable bed, shared bathroom, also very clean. Great kitchen for cooking & making tea/coffee. Comfy common room for chilling, using free internet, browsing one of many English books on the city, or watching dvds. We had a wonderful time here, highly recommendable.close

The property is superb and amazingly clean. I felt like as if I was staying with a rich uncle in Europe! The common room is HUGE...high ceilings and amazing kitchen that is up to date. The staff was kind, helpful and professional at the same time. I for sure recommend this place to anyone looking for a great stay!close

The best budget place I've stayed at so far. We had the street front room which was a bit noisy at night but the huge windows and awesome view made up for it. There's an unbelievable abundance of entertainment spots around and you can just walk home at night.
