Avenue Hostel
Budapest's most-reviewed hostel at Oktogon with live music and 16,500+ reviews
Massive hostel at Oktogon on Andrassy Avenue with 16,500+ reviews, bar crawls, live music, themed dinners, shared kitchens, bicycle rental, snack bar, and airport shuttle. Family rooms available.
Avenue Hostel sits directly at Oktogon, the major intersection where Andrassy Avenue crosses the Grand Boulevard. The M1 metro (the oldest on the European continent) stops right outside. Trams 4 and 6, which run 24/7 on the ring road, are at the doorstep. It's arguably the single best-connected location for a hostel in Budapest.
The sheer volume of reviews (16,500+) tells you this is a high-throughput operation. Avenue handles it well: the shared kitchens are fully equipped with toasters, ovens, microwaves, and refrigerators. The snack bar offers breakfast at fair prices. Bar crawls and walking tours run regularly, and live music nights add variety to the social calendar.
The building is a classic Pest apartment block near the Opera House. Rooms range from large dorms to family rooms, all with access to an elevator. The hostel rents bicycles, which is a great way to explore Andrassy Avenue all the way to Heroes' Square and City Park.
District VI is slightly less chaotic than District VII's ruin bar zone, but everything is walkable. Szimpla Kert is 10 minutes on foot. The Opera House is 5 minutes. The Basilica is 10 minutes. Andrassy Avenue itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site lined with cafes and boutiques.
