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 room and especially the toilet were very clean. It was a very comfortable stay and I felt safe as a female traveller thanks to the availability of a female-only room. The owners of the hostel were very nice as well.

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!

the property is youth hostel, so you can expect some noise, which is ok, but everything in the hotel is really “cheap”, old, the facalities were not really clean.

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.
