good news if you come to budapest in june: colors budapest hostel has better prices than ever: only 12 euros with breakfast. i think this is the best price what you can find in the city in such a good location. see our post below about the details. you can reserve even for a big group, as it has 30 beds.
we prefer to use the couchsurfing or the hospitalityclub project to find accommodation, but still there are many people, who prefer a hostel, especially if they travel in a bigger group.
for this case the best place what i can recommend is colors budapest hostel. the price is 14 eur/person/night, but breakfast, linen and towel are included, and it has the best location ever. Right in the very center of the city (Veres Pálné utca 14.; map), with perfect public transport even at night, two minutes walk from the danube or from the váci street, which is the only one real shopping street here.
there are 4x8 beds (2x8 until july i think). free internet, clean bathrooms and toilets, nice staff, who usually can help you to find a good place to go out - where the real budapest natives go.
