When it comes to accommodating backpackers and other travellers on a budget, Budapest is leagues ahead of many of Europe's other hottest destinations. Weary wayfarers have been arriving at Keleti Train Station in their droves ever since the Iron Curtain cracked and Budapest is littered with hostels, pensiones, guest houses and other forms of budget digs eager for your custom. The downside is that some of them haven't seen a lick of paint since they first opened back in the 1990s so you may want to do your research and book through a reliable hostel provider rather than chance it by relying on an out-of-date guidebook. New options are springing up around town every year and often it's these sparkling new hostels that offer the most comfortable accommodation, even if you do have to fork out a few extra forints for the privilege. | | | |
