  • Secure lockers in rooms and at reception — Guests consistently note that lockers are available in dorm rooms and at the front desk, adding a sense of security.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is limited — Reception is only open from 14:00 to 23:59, so arrivals outside these hours may need to make alternative arrangements.
  • Some areas may feel basic — While rooms are clean and themed, the amenities are described as basic, and the street outside can feel a little dark at night.
  • Deposit required — A 3000 forint deposit is requested, which guests noted but found reasonable given the security it provides.
  • Potential noise from the bar — The on-site bar and courtyard are popular, which could lead to noise in rooms facing the courtyard.

“The location couldn't be more convenient, with the Opera House and Basilica right nearby. We spent ages hanging out at the cafe-bars on Liszt Ferenc ter. The hostel has a cool energy, with cartoon characters playing American sports on the walls. A great spot for young travellers wanting fun and easy exploration of Budapest.”

“I had a fantastic few nights at Lol Boutique. The location was spot on, with public transport, shops, bars, and restaurants all close by. The hostel had everything I needed: a well-stocked kitchen, a snug common room, and a charming courtyard. The staff were welcoming, especially the bar team, who pointed us to great places to eat and drink. A wonderful stay overall.”

“The location is incredible — right in the centre, close to public transport, and super affordable. The bed was comfy, and the toilet and shower were well organised. I felt safe with lockers in the room and at reception. The 3000 forints deposit was a relief, letting me enjoy a decent meal and still make my flight without stress.”

7.8Verified guest

“Well located with friendly staff. Nice entrance and good Wi-Fi. Warm room with an open window. The shower was hot with good water pressure. Original decoration, and the private shower also had hot water and strong pressure. The street is a bit dark but close to the main roads. Couples will either love or hate the room with a strip pole. Clean rooms and an easy walk to Budapest's attractions.”

7.8Verified guest

“Great stay at Lol Boutique. The location is excellent, with endless restaurants and shops a short walk away. The Metro is just a 2-minute stroll, which made exploring easy. The rooms are creatively decorated and interesting, adding to the charm. Despite basic amenities, the beds were relatively comfy and the room clean.”
