„Tell Me and I Will Forget; Show Me and I May Remember; Involve Me and I Will Understand.” – Confucius
We started our 52-bed hostel according to the thoughts above. FACTORY HOSTEL BUDAPEST is both the place of calmness and inspiration as there is room for international and Hungarian performers of different sorts of arts to influence each other and to have rest together during their learning periods, study camps, rehearsals, workshops, group exhibitions, etc. They can easily tune up to their professional tasks and have a more intensive, personal, long-lasting experience, while their knowledge deepens better as well thanks to the circumstances of the hostel.
Bakelit M.A.C. gives the opportunity to students of international art schools and art institutions from any parts of the world to stay, create, rehears and perform at us. Contemporary dance, theatre, applied arts, fine arts, music, film, photography and digital media can effect each other at FHB as we believe that staying together and living together gives artists unique opportunities to develop each other. They can compose music for a forming theatre scene, or can make paintings, sculptures, photos, films on a dance performance coming to life. All locations of Bakelit M.A.C. are equipped according to professional international standards ready to rehears and perform in.
Moreover anybody else is welcomed who are likely to discover Budapest from such an artistic environment and is interested in alternative routes and highlights of the capital. You can hop on one of our Charity Bikes from “Bike Kitchen” and the donations are transferred to those who are in need. You can ride across Budapest’s safe bicycle routes downtown or you can enjoy the natural calmness of the river bank.
Rooms are located in a special architectural environment (Hazai Fésűsfonó és Szövőgyár – former spinner factory) and are equipped with cosy beds, newly built bathrooms, lockers, air conditioning and heating. A fully arranged shared kitchen is available for all guests; furthermore there is a dorm with en-suit studio kitchen. Free wifi, 24 hour reception, security, travel support, and specialized holiday planning help our guests to feel comfortable during their stay, while they can choose from a great amount of cultural programmes on the spot between September and July all year.
We offer the best pieces of Hungarian and international cuisine three times a day, as well as office services (print, copy, fax, laminating) and laundrette.
In the Movie Room our guests can choose from more than 120 concert films and 100 movies; moreover private videos are also allowed to be shared. As a result professional development can be followed day by day regarding theatre-, dance-, and other artistic performances. It is useful for workshops and team building activities that all shootings and recordings can be watched and analyzed together afterwards. Those who just want to have a big laugh after a day around Budapest have the possibility of a private show.
Palackpult and Kucko/Bar give room for loose, informal conversations with our existing and new friends by a cup of coffee, tea or a glass of finest Hungarian wine.
Bakelit Multi Art Center gives the opportunity to chill, fill-up and build new professional contacts and long-lasting friendships. Not only as performers and audience but as the guests of FACTORY HOSTEL BUDAPEST as well.
Because if we would like to understand our lives we have to be involved. Together.
