Località | • Centrally located, with good transportation, easily accessible within 15 minutes from every train stations and only 5 minutes walk from the city center. The hostel is located at #46 (which is the next building behind the grey apartment house), 1 floor up, door #2. The entry phone number is #23.
• If you are coming by train there are three main train stations called Keleti, Nyugati and Déli. When you get off from your train, you will see lots of people offering taxi or accomodation. Usually these private taxies are terribly expensive, if you really need a taxi, call a registered cab from any of the phoneboxes. From Keleti trainstation it is about 15 minutes walk. Get off your train and turn towards the end of the platforms. Go straight ahead, walk downstairs as far as the square. Search for the passage on the right side of the metro entrance, then walk along on it; at the end turn to the left and exit on the stairs to the right. Now you should be on the left side of Rákóczi Street, on the other side there should be Grand Hotel Hungária. Walk towards until the next main street, where the tramlines are, and a square called "Blaha Lujza tér". Turn to the left (to the József krt.) and go straight ahead and you'll see a McDonalds. Across the street on the crosswalk, continue your way along with the tramlines. Keep walking two more blocks and turn to the right in the street called "Kölcsey". As a checkpoint you will find a pub at this corner. Pass through Kölcsey street, up to Gutenberg square, and straight to the street ahead. There is Bródy Sándor street.
• From Nyugati it is about 10 minutes by tram. Please keep in mind that you have to use a ticket or pass to use public transportation. Tickets are available at yellow ticket-machines, newspaper-stores and metro offices. One single-ride ticket costs 120HUF (€0.50). Those who don't use tickets can be fined by 1600HUF (€6.20). At the exit of the train station you'll find a tram stop, choose that direction which is opposite to the overpass. On the sign you can see "Móricz Zsigmond körtér felé". Available trams are #4 or #6. You can use both to get to the hostel. Take the first tram from this stop, and make sure you punch your ticket. Get off at the 5th stop, which is called "Rákóczi tér". Across the crosswalk you will see the Kölcsey street. Walk along, as far as Gutenberg square, and straight to the street ahead. There is Bródy Sándor street.
• From Déli trainstation it is about 10 minutes by metro & a little walk. At the train station you'll find the metro entrance one level below. Buy a single ride ticket from the cashier and validate it before the escalator and take a metro. This is the terminal, so there is only one direction. Get off at Astoria (5 stops), then turn to the left when you reach the underground, then upstairs straight ahead exit. Now you should be on Múzeum krt., opposite of you there is a Burger King. Keep walking forward until the first corner to the left, where there is the green fence of the National Museum. Now you should be on Bródy street, search for #46, which is in the 4th block on the left.
• If you are coming by car: When you drive a car, please keep in mind you should pay for the parking almost everywhere in Budapest, on weekdays between 8am & 6pm, on Saturdays between 8am to 12am. The parking fee is different in every district, in the 8th district it's about 140 HUF/hour, but expires every two hours. If you want to come by car, the hostel has a garage, but you should reserve it at least one week before. Very important: Those who don't have valid parking ticket can be fined very quickly, or in worst case you can get a wheel-shackle. On main roads the bus lanes shouldn't be used, it is reserved for buses and taxies only, and controlled by the authorities with cameras.
• If you are coming by bus: From the International Coach Terminal "Népliget" you can get into our hostel within 20 minutes by metro and an easy walk. From the bus terminal you can get to the metro through the underpass. Choose the one in direction to "Újpest-Központ". Get off at "Kálvin tér" which is the 4th stop, then turn left right after the escalator. Walk straight ahead, then choose the left exit to upstairs (Múzeum krt.). Keep walking ahead, then turn to the right after the National Museum's garden (2nd corner to right). There is Bródy Sándor street.
• If you are coming by plane: I'd recommend you three options to get to the hostel from the airport, which is taxi, the airport-minibus service or public transportation. Present days the cost of airport-minibus is 1800HUF(7EUR)/person, which is worth if you have lots of luggages and travel alone. Otherwise an official taxi can be cheaper, as they have fixed fares from the airport, and the taxi goes to one address, while the minibus delivers several passengers. If I convinced you about the comforts of use a taxi, please read the advices below about taxies. From the airport it is about an hour using the airport-bus and metro. Between the terminal 2 and 2A, there is a bus stop for the Airport-Bus, which is a service of the Budapest Transport Company known as BKV. It is a public vehicle, so you should punch a ticket for using this transportation. Tickets are available at newspaper-stores, metro stations, the yellow ticket-machines from the street and from the bus-driver. If you buy a ticket from the driver, please check if it wasn't validated before. After getting on the bus please ensure you've punched your ticket, so you won't be fined. Ride on the bus until it lasts, then you'll be on "Kőbánya-Kispest". Validate a new ticket again, then take a metro until "Kálvin tér" (8th stop), then turn left right after the escalator. Walk straight ahead, then choose the left exit to upstairs (Múzeum krt.). Keep walking ahead, then turn to the right after the National Museum's garden (2nd corner to right). Now you should be on Bródy street.
