We stayed at Full Moon Hostel for 9 days — my younger sister, my cousin, and I. What started off as a promising experience turned into a nightmare of poor hygiene and health issues.
✅ The good (because there was some):
• The location is unbeatable. Super central, well connected, and ideal for getting around Budapest.
• We genuinely liked the room at first — functional, comfortable, and well laid out.
• Breakfast was decent, with good variety.
• A big plus: the free access to Morrison’s 2 nightclub, located just downstairs. If you’re young and into nightlife, that part is definitely a win.
❌ What ruined everything:
Unfortunately, the entire stay was overshadowed by a severe cleanliness and hygiene problem.
• Bedbugs. Yes, actual bedbugs.
My cousin and sister were literally eaten alive throughout the stay, covered in bites all over their bodies. This wasn’t just uncomfortable — it was a health hazard. It turned our trip into a constant itch-filled struggle, and it’s completely unacceptable.
• Chaotic and careless cleaning.
On the first day, we had regular bed sheets. After “cleaning” came in, they took the sheets away and never brought new ones, leaving us to sleep with only mattress and pillow covers. Combine that with the bedbugs, and it was one of the worst sleeping situations we’ve ever experienced.
• Cleaning staff entered without knocking, even while we were sleeping. They didn’t actually clean — just made the beds (without sheets), changed towels, and left. The floor stayed dirty the entire time. We often saw them smoking during work hours, reinforcing the feeling that they simply didn’t care.
• Uncomfortable breakfast environment.
The staff would eat in the guest dining area during breakfast time, and their attitude made guests feel unwelcome. It’s one thing for staff to take breaks — it’s another to eat among guests while giving off cold, unfriendly vibes.
• No laundry facilities, which was a huge drawback for a 9-day stay. We really missed having that option.
⚖️ Final thoughts:
This hostel has potential: great location, nightlife access, and a decent room layout.
But none of that matters when you leave with your body covered in bites and the sinking feeling that you slept in a trap disguised as a hostel.
I do not recommend this place for long stays, or for anyone who values basic hygiene and respect for guests.
If you’re just staying one night and going out to party, you might get by. But unless they urgently fix the bedbug issue and completely revamp their cleaning standards, this place is nothing more than a pretty facade hiding a hygiene disaster.
