If you're planning a trip to Budapest and feeling overwhelmed with choosing a hostel, I'm here to help!
I stayed at eight different hostels in Budapest, including Adagio 2.0 Basilica Hostel.
This article presents my review of Adagio 2.0 Basilica Budapest, which I ranked as the eight-best hostel on my best hostels list based on my personal experience.
Summary — Adagio 2.0 Basilica Review
Who is this hostel for?
- Adagio is a good option for those who prefer a clean and minimalist environment and value a comfortable bed with minimal socializing.
What was the best part of staying here?
- Although the decor of the common areas was pleasing, I did not have an exceptional experience overall.
- This place lacks unique characteristics that would make it stand out as the best in any particular category.
