Room: We stayed in a 10-bed room which was clean and didn't feel too cramped even with people's luggage lying around. There were 12 good-sized, individual lockers which you need your own padlock for. Bedding was on a par with what I'd expect from a hostel, just very basic and one flat pillow but it did the job. The one... More

This hostel is in a very centrally located area near the train station. Staff is very helpful and nice. The free breakfast is excellent, it is cleaned daily and very nice. The kitchen area is fully stocked with dishes, cutlery and microwave. I felt comfortable and safe as a young, small woman travelling with my other young, small woman companion!... More

Loved this hostel because of the location, close to the train station and very close to a metro stop which in 7 minutes would have you walking next to st. Stephan's cathedral. They do give you free breakfast, there is free wifi, and your own bathroom that you share with the others in your room.

The hostel is located in a safe neighbourhood just a few min. away from the main train station and the underground station. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Simple breakfast is provided every morning from 7:30-10:00am. The room and washroom are extremely clean. The only thing is that the doors and walls between rooms are very thin so you can... More

The hostel is located very close to Westbahnhof train station, a block away from the main shopping street Mariahilfer Strasse. You can get to the city center on foot within 25 minutes. The room (I stayed in an 8-bed dorm with a bathroom) was clean and big enough for 8 people. The only thing I did mind about the room... More

Really nice hostel, well located, near to the metro and walking distance from some attractions (as museumsquartier). Staff was always helpful and gave really nice tips of the city (also a good map). The rooms were ok, with one bathroom per room (10 p.), clean and with lockers. They provided clean linen for 3 days (I don't know if they... More

I stayed for three night in a five beds room with private bathroom. The room was clean and spacious. They serve a very good and cheap breakfast. Excellent position in Vienna. Staff can be very good or not so good as for giving information. The hostel is lacking a bar.
