The hostel is very clean and calm. The rooms are quite big and have great lockers for free. I stayed at a 6 bed dorm with ensuite bathroom, and the good thing about it was that there was a door separating the bathroom from the rest of the room, so you don't get disturbed when someone is using the bathroom...

Great location in between schönbrunn and city center, and close to metro/train station, great garden, but most of all great staff... Only minus, if any, the street can be a bit noisy at night when all party animals are coming back...

lovely place! I'm still here at the moment, and me and a friend are sharing a private double. We have 3 beds in here, so it's enough room, and having an extra bed is convenient. Shared bathrooms and toilets are always really clean. The kitchen is good ! and they have washer/dryer and a bar and piano, and the atmosphere... More

I stayed 4 nights here. Located very close to the westbahnhoff main train station and metro stations which was very convenient. About 40 mins walk to old town if you're game (it was easier and much quicker to catch the metro). I was in a 4 bed female dorm (even though i had booked a 8 bed dorm). The rooms... More

My friend and I had a beautiful apartment with our own private garden for a very reasonable price. There were people of all ages and from many countries meeting one another at breakfast, in the lounge or bar and in the computer room. The atmosphere was quiet, friendly and gracious. Location was extremely convenient to public transportation or an easy... More

Three of us stayed in the ensuite private apartment and it was fantastic! Hardwood floors throughout, small kitchen, private balcony, and very bright! This far exceeded our expectations, especially for the very reasonable price of 24 euros each. Apart from that, the staff are very friendly and the whole hostel has a bright, tidy atmosphere. I can't comment on the... More

Four years ago it was my first hostel I have ever stayed in. After that time I came back to see what changed because my first stay here was terrible... I paid a high price for a small room and I could hear all drunk people outside yelling. This time it was way better but f.e. the staff didn't want... More
