Cancelling the family dinner on nights when guests pay over 80 euros per night is a bit unnecessary.

Great place to stay. The staff and the other guests were a pleasure to hang out with.

The entrance and the staircase leading up to the hostel need to be much cleaner, but inside the hostel it's great.

Great place to meet people and to explore Budapest nightlife. Truly a home away from home. See you soon!

This is a really great hostel to stay at. It’s only small so it has a great atmosphere and vibe. The staff and volunteers were all really lovely and were happy to help with whatever. It was really clean and in a great location, a close walk to restaurants and the public transport. I would definitely stay here again. :)

The shower broke at some point but it was not the hostel's fault (iykyk hahaha)

Easily the highlight of my Europe tour, I booked 3 nights but ended up staying for 7 nights. The staff was friendly and always ready to help. I felt so much at home. Thanks a lot to Fantabulous Fables, Reza, Gabor, Liisa and Gemma. I will definitely be back again soon

Some items looked used and it was a bit a bit rancid

We loved our whole stay, especially the Carpe-Staff❤️ We’re three 18 year old girls and the staff did everything to make us feel comfortable, safe and welcome. The atmosphere was very familiar, the staff and other guests were like a family to us. We would definitely recommend to go partying with the hostel since they offer a variety of activities. There was really a laid-back vibe and cute furnishing. And if you get to meet Rza you’re definitely up for a great time!

Carpe Noctem is the place you go to make friends and have a good time in Budapest. Right off the bat, I was welcomed into the hostel with a smile. People are always out in the common areas talking to each other and anyone's welcome to join in on the fun. There are events hosted every night of the week with pub trivia, boat parties, and bowling nights to name just a few. The staff here are also incredible. Shoutout to Fables for being so welcoming and always being around for a good chat. This is the kind of place where staff actively want to hang out and talk with you above and beyond their other duties. If you're looking for a chill place to meet new folks and then go wild at night, this is the place for you.

The staff are absolutely incredible

Had an absolutely awesome time! Carpe Noctem has an amazing community of staff and guests that make you feel at home from the moment you walk in. The staff really care that you have a great time in Budapest and go above and beyond to make sure you feel at home. Loved the small size of the hostel, you really get to know everyone that's staying here very well, and the hostel attracts the right kind of guests; everyone wanted to have fun, see Budapest, and was very relaxed, genuine and open. The hostel has a comfortable lounge area and convenient facilities that are always kept clean. The location is very central and convenient. Really appreciated the modern air conditioning through the few fairly warm days/nights I stayed here over. Loved Budapest and Carpe Noctem. Many guests come back to this place time and time again and I can really understand why! I'll definitely be staying at Carpe Noctem again.

Best social hostel to stay at in Budapest. Being on the smaller side and not part of chain, while also running nightly dinners and events after that makes it easy to meet some great people and head out to see the nightlife. Volunteers & staff are great which keeps up the great atmosphere and vibe. Beds are comfortable, rooms have A/C, and the facilities are nice & clean. Perfect spot to see the city from!

Don't go if you want a quiet place to sleep every night

The best community oriented/party hostel you'll find in Budapest! There are organized events every night, and everyone is tight-knit with each other
