"As a Budapest resident, I can only suggest NOT TO SLEEP at any of Budapest Railway Stations. They are unsecure, extremely dirty and often packed with homeless. Consider any other option: find a 0-24 cafe, talk to youngs on the street (maybe they live in a dormitory and invite you there.)
If you are freezing, sit on a night bus (no. from 900), and travel there'n'back. They never check your ticket, maybe the driver will wake you up at the last stop, but jump on the bus before leaving to the way back. 906 runs every 10 minutes during the whole night!
Budapest Airport terminals (1 and 2A-B ) are clean and safe, but have no experience."
