Budapest<\/a> has become one of the premier backpacker destinations in Europe<\/a>. Over the last few years, Budapest has gone from popular to uber-popular spot with hundreds of accommodations popping up and ever increasing crowds. Almost 4 million people visited Hungary’s<\/a> capital city last year! <\/p>\n

For backpackers, the combination of a party scene, ruin bars<\/a> (which are awesome), lots of sights<\/a>, and cheap prices makes it irresistible to visit. <\/p>\n

I’ve been visiting Budapest for a decade and have stayed in dozens upon dozens of places. To help you plan your trip, here is my list of the hostels in Budapest that I like the most. <\/p>\n

(If you don\u2019t want to read the longer list below, the following hostels are the best in each category:)<\/p>\n

Want the specifics of each hostel? Here’s my comprehensive list of the best hostels in Budapest:<\/p>\n

1. Onefam Budapest<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Common
\n
Onefam<\/a> is a cool hostel with beautifully decorated walls, a fully equipped kitchen, nice common areas, and Netflix if you\u2019re in need of more tame activities. There are free weekly dinners and organized activities throughout the day. This is a very social (read party) hostel. Most people leave for the bars after the \u201cpre-game warm up\u201d (drinking games) since there’s a bar on-site here.<\/p>\n

Unlike most party hostels, the beds here are actually quite comfy and have thick privacy curtains, outlets, and lockers for storage. It’s my favorite hostel in the city and perfect for travelers who want to meet people.<\/p>\n
