Offering a 24-hour front desk, Maverick Central Market is located in Budapest. Free WiFi access is available.

Each room at Maverick Central Market will provide you with air conditioning. Some rooms feature a private bathroom with a shower. You can enjoy city view from the room.

Many shops and restaurants are reachable within a short walk from the hostel. It's been a long time since I visited such a homely and nice hostel as this one. Even though my stay was short, I can't say anything more than that this stay was significantly valuable to me. The room was not only large but also beautiful, but it was also very clean and fresh. And best of all must have been the staff who were by far nice and provided good service, which is something I as a customer value a lot when I'm traveling. Then the best of all must have been the service I received from Natalia. She guided me about what Budapest has to offer and answered all my questions without any hesitation. She, if anyone, knows how to take care of her customers, after the treatment I received from her. I'm so glad that I made the right choice and chose to stay at Maverick <3

We were impressed by the rooms, they are very clean and designed for humans (decoration, bathroom and comfortable beds). When we return to Budapest we’ll definitely stay here again and again.

Conveniently located in Budapest, Carpe Noctem Hostel offers air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge and free WiFi. The property is around 1.5 km from Hungarian Parliament Building, 1.9 km from Heroes' Square and 1.9 km from Dohany Street Synagogue. The accommodation features karaoke and a shared kitchen.

The rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area, a flat-screen TV and a safety deposit box. All guest rooms at Carpe Noctem Hostel come with a shared bathroom and bed linen. Carpe has been more than just a hostel, it's an experience of a lifetime. The hostel is set up just like a massive apartment of a friend's, so everyone is more or less pushed towards getting to know each other and making fast friends in a couple of hours is a given. There is a perfect balance of feeling right at home and being so lively and social that no two nights ever feel the same. The staff during my stay have not only been super friendly but you can tell they're genuinely invested in making sure everyone feels included and has an unforgettable time. They have family dinners and drinking games every night before the staff takes everyone out for different activities like pub crawl, boat or a bus party, bowling, etc. So there is plenty to do even for a week that I kept extending my stay. Special shoutout to Gemma who was so helpful in getting me settled in and lifted my mood after a long and tiresome trip getting into the city: she made the check-in process very entertaining by singing Hungarian folk songs, gave me great recommendations for things to do in the city as well as hostel reccs for the next cities of my trip. If you want to meet incredible, like-minded people who always want to have a good time and experience Budapest in the most life-changing way possible, this hostel is the way to go.
