Short walk away from Westbahnhof, tram stop nearby, safe neighborhood. The place looks like a literary salon: parquet flooring, antique furniture, high ceilings. Very pleasant to be in and so so quiet. Shared spaces are cozy, plenty of books available in many languages. Beds are very sturdy, so neighbors don't bother you at all when coming up and down. Classy striped satin bedsheets, comfortable beds, I had the perfect sleep. Rooms and bathrooms spotlessly clean. Will visit again with pleasure.

This place is as good as a hostel can be. I can't imagine a more comfortable hostel for this price, and at this location. The air ventilation is good, I was afraid that I'm going to get claustrophobic but that wasn't the case at all. The toilets and showers were also clean and good.

We loved everything! The breakfast was amazing, we could choose lots of things that we like. The room and the bathroom was very clean, it wasn’t cold, as I saw in other reviews, just a normal room temperature. Everything just looked really nice. There is a stop in a few minutes from the hotel from which you can go to the centre of the city. I will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends who will go to Vienna, and will choose it next time I’ll be there:)

Well, the hostel itself it really good for its money. In rooms they provide bedsheets, cover, pillow, liquid soap and toilet paper. They have lockers with key inside. Beds are small, but comfy. My room was pretty small, but it was enough. Unexpected thing was that they have shower like in USA or Brazil - it is not movable, but it was easy to adapt to it. Rooms are quiet, there is no noise from outside. Staff are helpful and welcoming, even after check-out you can still use their services such as luggage room (btw, it is just a room like storage - so you better not leave here anything valuable - no lockers with locks). However, you can ask reception to store your laptop. In the hostel there is a small kitchen, but with everything you may need. There is a toilet, free wifi, places to seet - even after check-out you can sit for couple of hours waiting for a plane/train/bus and charge your devices. Towels are available for free - just ask the reception. Location is also very good - practically in the city center, you don't even have to use transportation. Shops are nearby, mcdonalds is in 700 m - you can buy smth to eat. But there are no 24/7 shops nearby, so if you are arriving late you either go to open restaurants (like mcDonalds) or go more far away to buy smth. There is bar working, cafe - so you order smth from there.

All hostels in Vienna

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel was easy to get to from the metro station, there are also trams nearby. Locality seems quite safe, and active even after hours of the day. The hostel is well kept, even the common area, you may even plug in and work peacefully if your on a working holiday, for the digital nomads 😀. The breakfast was a big spread with many options and quality. Overall, I highly recommend if you are looking for a good yet budget friendly accommodation.

    Best hostel I've stayed at yet. Comfortable spacious rooms (with chairs!) and the nightly pay-what-you-can dinner made it super easy to meet other travellers. Met a lot of cool people to explore the city with, and was able to fall asleep at 10pm no problem if I wanted to. If you stay anywhere else in Vienna you're a fool. And cheap beer!

    One of the best hostels I've ever been to but also one of the cheapest as well so it's a fantastic value for money! The staff was very kind and helpful. The rooms are clean, big and have a separate bathroom and toilet which makes things so much easier! The hostel also has a bar that works during the night, where you can also play pool, beer-pong etc. so it's a great place to meet new people as well.
