Home Plus Hostel in Budapest

zuletzt aktualisiert am 05.01.2010

‘Home Plus Hostel’ is located in the heart of Budapest, near the Danube river, between the Parliament and Margaret Bridge, on the West side of the river. Margaret Island is just a five minute walk away where you can enjoy the outdoors and a lot more!   Our goal is to make you feel at home. We are good English speakers and are on hand to give you sightseeing tips, keep the place clean, offer you a variety of PCs, audio and video services and make sure that the noise level is acceptable.   Since we are located near the Margaret Bridge, you can choose between discovering the city center and walking over the bridge to a more residential area where the Royal Castle is located.   Please be aware that we don't accept credit cards. Only cash: Hungarian Forint or Euros.
