Great location, clean rooms, stuff speak English and were helpful. Girl at reception have us maps and told us what to see and where we should go. Close to everything important in Budapest. Recommendations from my friends and me.
I recommend to everybody this cute, clean, cheap hostel where you can find everything what you need nice recepcionist incluying! Everything is very close to this hostel just to open the door and you are in the centre of everything with not too much walking. Room was very big i sleep very well!!So dont hasitate anyone!
My stay at Anomation is was excellent!! From booking until i check out, everythings was taking care of! Staff are really friendly and helpful, thanks to Noemi! Room is clean and nice design and is huge space, the most important thangs is very central located, all the attraction by walking distance! Also the room rate are really worth for every penny that you paid for, will come back in the future.
The female staff member was really nice. The others were distant but quick to help if you needed anything. The location was fantastic! The room was spacious and nice!
I really liked the location and the easy access to the hostel. I got a mail from the hostel before the stay with good information and information about the reception opening hours that have been criticized on this page. Moreover, once you have checked in, you get a key code and get inside of the house with it. I think 2 bathrooms in total are not much if the hostel is fully booked. However, during the low season there was no queue and all the common facilities were very neat and clean.
Booked into this place with a group of 12 as part of a Stag Do. The receptionist was about the majority of the time and was very helpful. We ahd the whole place to ourselves being such a big group, but every room had it's own key as well as a locked front door and a code to access the building, so it felt secure. It was great for the price and the central location, but a few minor things stopped it from being perfect; the electricity in the kitchen would cut out if you tried to use more than one thing at a time e.g. the kettle and the cooker. And the 'common' area with a table and a table football was part of a bedroom, so if you weren't staying in that bedroom, you wouldn't necessarily have access to it. Other than that, I would recommend.
Liked: Great stay and incredible location. I stayed in a private room for two and this was in a private two bedroom apartment one floor below the main hostel area. The apartment was spacious and well equipped, with a large kitchen and TV area. There were two secure bedrooms within the apartment, one of which was mine. The bedroom window had a view out to Vaci street (the main pedestrian shopping strip).
Disliked: No complaints, the place was great! I was there when it was 35+ degrees, so it would have been nice to have had a fan in the room.
When I booked this I wasn't expecting much for the price I paid. What we got was brilliant, I have stayed in other hostels in Budapest and this was excellent and will definatley be staying here again. You couldn't get a better location! We was able to do our washing for free and the Wi-Fi is good. There was 4 lads who went on this trip and we was a little noisy but the staff were very accommodating and polite and put up with quite a bit before they had to ask us to calm down a little which was fair enough (beer is really cheap in Budapest and with 4 lads.....), the staff speak better English than most English people! They will help you out and arranged our transfers for us to and from the airport and they was waiting with a name card upon arrival. The rooms are really clean and hot drinks are provided. You can have full use of the kitchen but we ate out and drank out all the time so didn't use. Book directly with the hotel if you can, they confirmed everything via email and are quick to respond. There is a lift available for those who struggle with the stairs. You have the option to pay in HUF or euros here and many shops etc also offer this. Budapest is an amazing city to make some great memories with friends and family and is now somewhere I will visit again and again, Everyone is so helpful and I didn't meet anyone who didn't speak excellent English. Thanks for putting up with is during our stay, we throughly enjoyed ourselves and we will be back next year!
Loved it here! We booked a private room for two and basically had our own flat seperate from the main hostel with a kitchen and a great bathroom! Felt like a luxury break away from the normal style of hostels. Located just off one of the main pedestrian streets on Pest side, it is a 10 min walk to the Jewish Quarter, where everything happens at night. It is also only a few minutes to the bridges to get across to Buda. There are trams nearby too so perfect location.
Animation hostel were very accomodating to all our needs. We only stayed for one night and requested to leave our bags there for the week, and although there was not much space they were happy to help. Only problems are that only 2 bathrooms becomes a bit problematic, however the lack of space makes it understandable. Air con would be good too but other than that it was a lovely hostel :)
