    The hostel is conveniently located near public transportation, with tram and metro lines right at the doorstep. It is also in close proximity to the central market, making it an ideal location for exploring all the attractions in the city center. the rooms are cozy and well-equipped, with lockers and comfortable beds. the bathrooms are clean and there is no need to wait for a shower. the hostel also offers a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious living room for socializing.

    The shower rooms may be a bit dated, but this minor inconvenience is overshadowed by the overall positive experience at the hostel.

    The staff was friendly and helpful during my new year stay. They provided excellent customer service and were always available to answer any questions or resolve any issues. the location of the hotel was also great, with easy access to public transportation and plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. I enjoyed the comfortable beds which ensured a good night's sleep.

    The shower facilities were inadequate for the number of guests. There was only one shower available, which caused long wait times and inconvenience.

    the hostel was spotlessly clean and the location was excellent, with easy access to the Central Market Hall, supermarket, and subway stations. The bed was comfortable and the privacy curtains were a nice touch. The kitchen had everything you needed and there were plenty of bathrooms available. The staff was helpful and provided valuable advice for sightseeing.

    Mosquitoes in the room at night.

    The location of this hostel is fantastic - it is close to tourist spots and just a short walk from the metro stop. There is also a supermarket nearby, making it convenient for those who want to cook their own meals. the rooms are clean and spacious, with comfortable beds. the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel like a friend. the hostel also has a beautiful common area with comfy couches and good natural light.

    There is only one mirror in one of the bathrooms, which can be inconvenient when multiple people need to get ready at the same time.

    The hostel had spacious bathrooms with clean showers and some were particularly big. the beds were private with curtains, night tables, and storage space. Each bed had its own plugs and night lights. the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, providing information about the city. the hostel had good common areas and two fridges for guests to store food. It was conveniently located next to the Central Market, making it easy to explore the city using public transport.

    Felt like home, no complaints.

    I stayed at Zen Hostel for a few nights during my trip to Budapest and it exceeded all my expectations. The location was perfect, right next to the central market hall and close to the metro station. The hostel was incredibly clean, with well-equipped kitchen facilities and a cozy living room. The dorm room was warm and comfortable. The staff were friendly and even offered me a discount when I extended my stay. I can't recommend this hostel enough!

    Staying at Zen Hostel By Central Market. The staff created such a cute and friendly atmosphere that I can't wait to stay there again. The location was perfect, with convenient transportation links, great restaurants and bars, and even a traditional market and supermarket nearby. The hostel was always kept clean, made the stay more fun.

    In terms of the shower rooms, some were not as good as others. since there was access to all of them, it wasn't a major issue.
