Searching for an affordable hostel in budget-friendly Budapest is not a difficult feat, but a centrally located option with a friendly staff and even friendlier fellow travelers isn´t always as easy.
Central Backpack King simplifies the search with the characteristics mentioned above, plus heaps more. The social nature of this hostel makes the thought of leaving the building to wander through the Hungarian capital slightly questionable, but located just a short walk from St. Stephen´s Basilica, Parliament and the Danube River, the hostel´s home in Pest could not be more central and begs to be explored.
With only a handful of beds available in a few rooms that surround a common space, the intimate and welcoming spirit is felt immediately upon arrival. During check-in, a brief orientation provides you with information about the sights that surround the hostel, as well as information about the hostel-sponsored bar crawl led by a Budapest local. Secure your belongings in a storage locker and enjoy free WiFi throughout the single-level hostel space.
Rates can drop as low as €10 euros per night, depending on the dates, leaving you plenty of cash to spend on Hungarian goulash and beer. A communal kitchen means you can prepare your own meals and donate your food money to the world-renowned baths for which Budapest is famous.
