The common areas: the sitting room

In the sitting room you can find a big and cozy sofa and a TV. There is a computer too for our guests to use, and some books, maps and other brochures about the city are also available.

"Is there a safe deposit box in the hostel for my valuables?"

Yes, there is. But keeping your stuff in the room is also safe: there are no dormitories, only private rooms here - if you book here you book the whole room, so no one else can have access to it. The card controlled doors, the cameras in the public areas and the live in staff serve your security too.

"Are there towels and bedsheets in the room?"

Yes. You get fully made beds.
You can also find an extra pillow and blanket in the wardrobe, in case you need them.

The hostel from outside

7x24 Central Hostel can be found in Király utca (Király street), on the fifth floor of a residential building.

Széchenyi thermal bath

Széchenyi, which is one of the biggest bathing complexes in Europe, with 21 pools in- and outside, can be found in the beautiful city park, close to Hősök tere (Heroes Square).

"Do you serve breakfast in the hostel?"

No, sorry. But there are lots of grocery stores in this area, and the hostel has a well equipped kitchen, so you can buy your own food, keep it in the fridge, and prepare and eat it in the kitchen anytime you feel like it. Or you can grab your breakfast and coffee in one of the bakeries or coffee shops. There are many of them around here.

What does 7x24 refer to?

It was meant to suggest that you can choose any time of the day to check-in, from 00:00 to 24:00 - you just need to let us know when you expect to arrive.

Staying at 7x24 Central Hostel, you will most likely wish to take the metro at Deák Ferenc tér first.

"Where can I get cheap lunch during my stay?"

If you plan eating out, try a restaurant that offers so called ‘napi menü’ or 'napi ajánlat'. If you see these words among their offers, that means they serve a 2 or maybe 3 course lunch for about 900-1200 Forints (~3-4 Euros).

Remember that there are grocery stores around here on every corner, and there is a fully equipped kitchen in the hostel, so you can also prepare your own meals during your stay.

What makes this little hostel stand out?

There are lots of hotels, hostels and private apartments to consider when booking accommodation in Budapest, and their number is constantly growing. However, there are a few characteristics that still make this place stand out. 

"Is there a hairdrier available for guests?"

Yes, there is one, you can find it in the living room, on the shelf under the stairs. (Please don’t forget to put it back there when you finished using it.)

"I need some help with Budapest public transport. What kind of tickets and passes can I buy, and where?"

Please note that because of its central location, if you booked a room with 7x24 Central Hostel, you may not need any other tickets than those you buy at the airport to get to the hostel. Here's some help in case you need tickets or passes anyway.

"How do I get to the hostel from the airport?"

As the hostel has a very central location, and it is next to the central interchange of the Pest side, it’s easy to get here with public transport - in 2 steps:

"Are there grocery stores nearby?"

The common areas: the kitchen

7x24 Central has a fully equipped kitchen. There are pots, all kinds of tableware, and an oven, a microwave, a refridgerator, 2 toasters, a water kettle and a coffee machine available here, so you can prepare your own food in the hostel - just like at home.

"Where can I park my car?"

You can leave your car on the streets, in a parking lot/garage or in a P+R car park.

"Do I have to leave the hostel until 10am on my checkout day?"

Check out time ends at 10:00. This is the latest time when we need you to leave the room and hand back the keys so we have enough time to prepare the room for the next guest. But that doesn't mean you have to leave the hostel too - you can still hang around in the common area, or you can leave your bags there and go out.
