I definitely made the right decision to book my stay with The Loft for my first ever trip to Budapest. It was a very homely and cozy hostel with just 2 dorms which had 7 beds each. The hostel is located in the top floor of a residential building which you need to enter an access code to enter the building, and another code to enter the hostel itself.
The staff were warm and friendly and gave wonderful tips and suggestions. There was a fully stocked kitchen and all the necessary condiments. There was also a fridge, toaster and microwave. They also had laundry facilities.
The place was very clean and well kept. Each bed had a power point, reading light and a locker (which you need your own lock).
The only downside would be that the floorboards and bunk beds were super squeaky, but nothing that earplugs couldn't help. I'd also be nice if they organized some activities for the guests to get to know each other.
I definitely enjoyed my stay with The Loft Hostel and can't wait to return!

Absolutely loved my stay here - the location was perfect and the hostel was clean and had everything I needed.
The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they gave me so many amazing personalized recommendations depending on my interests; I ended up extending my stay in Budapest, and I think a big reason why was because I discovered so many cool places to go to and events to attend because of the staff here. Overall, the hostel has a cozy, more intimate vibe. I think it's a great option for solo travelers, whether you're looking to do things on your own, or would like some company from time to time. Highly recommend this place and huge shoutout to the staff here!

Nice and homey hostel. The staff is mostly volunteers and they are very welcoming. The big plus is that you can borrow flipflops and towels in the hostel so you don't need to buy them at the spas. The location of the hostel is very convenient, close to the city centre. And they provide you with tips where to eat and drink! Another plus is the fully equipped kitchen and the big common room with comfortable sofas! Would recommend to anyone who wants to have a chilled visit to Budapest.

Great space for travellers looking for a clean, calm, social, and friendly vibe, without the chaos of a party hostel or mechanical, soulless vibe of a corporate chain.
The Loft is very comfortable place to stay and either relax, socialize, or explore Budapest from. It’s very well priced and the staff are very helpful

Chill place that's social but not a party space.
Super welcoming with good tips on what to do in the city. The volunteer staff is great and caring.
Free toiletries, option to do laundry, fully equipped kitchen, free to use and borrow flip flops and towels.

The best Hostel I have ever been to. The volunteers, the kitchen and lots of condiments for free as well as nice facilities and finally the cleaning. I don't want, I need to return back.

Super cute hostel with retro vibes. The location was good (near metro and tram stops) and the facilities were clean. Its in a fairly quiet neighborhood while only being a ~15 minute walk from many popular bars. The staff were also very friendly and gave us great recommendations for restaurants and sites to see.

This is not a party hostel. The vibe is super welcoming and warm. The volunteers and owners are incredibly helpful and kind. The location is well-connected, and the facilities, like the kitchen and common areas, are always clean.
