Volunteers stay at the Hotel Fáma, a charming tourist-class Hungarian hotel. The rooms are double occupancy, although single rooms are available for an additional fee. The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance of a pharmacy, bank, grocery store, internet cafe, and most of our partner schools.

The hotel has a laundry service.

The current in Hungary is 220V. You should bring a converter (to 220V) and an adapter (the large round double-pronged version used throughout Europe) for your electrical appliances unless they are dual voltage.

Hungarians are well known for their delicious soups and Hungarian goulash. In addition, fish, beef and veal dishes, vegetables, and deserts are also wonderful. A typical main meal will have bread, a salad, soup, an entrée, dessert or fruit.

Avoiding meat is not a major problem. However, strict vegetarians or vegans may be difficult to accommodate. Volunteers with such strict requirements will eat mostly bread, and vegetables. Consider bringing familiar foods to supplement your diet if you have especially restrictive needs.

We do not recommend drinking the tap water. Bottled water is provided for all team members.
