Solid place. My friends and I were close to the metro, shopping and good sightseeing. The staff was very helpful and the room very clean. I would definitely recommend it.

Each time we returned back to the hostel the stairwell leading to our room was pitch black we couldn't find any light switches. Had to use my cell phone as a flashlight. Wi-Fi was not accessible in the room, as advertised, because the signal was too weak. We found it to be a bit creepy, wouldn't stay again.close

The location is not bad but there are not much good bars or pubs near where you can drink something at night. The rooms are more less clean but the furnitures seem have been taken from the street.

My room was inside a small flat with kitchen and bathroom, there was a Tv with english channels and the room was very clean. The bathroom and showers were really clean and the hostel provides towels. There is free internet access in the reception area with 2 computers and the lady at the reception was friendly and gave me a map of the city. If I'll go back to Vienna I'll stay there for sure!close

We had the double room with shared bathroom and it was absolutely brilliant, massive and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked and had utensils that were actually usable. Location was great with only a 20mins to the city centre and just 50mins from Westbanhof. On top of that, the staff all spoke perfect english and were more than happy to help. Thanks to the staff there, we will defenitaly go back!close

We stayed there for 6 days and everything was perfect, we were 4 girls and we stayed in a very big room with kitchen and bathroom. The room was clean, and the hostel isn't at the center but it's near a comercial street and near an underground station. We spend a very good time!

We found it very comfortable and absolutely well-priced for the amount of space. And the location was great...at least for a mature couple in love who want to sleep like old folks on a quiet street! We would certainly recommend it to other budget travelers.close

Muito bom. Banheiro pequeno, mas muito limpo e bom. Tranquilo dividir banheiro, pois a quantidade de quartos por banheiro e pequena. Pessoal muito atencioso. Localizacao boa, sendo possivel ir a ring e ao castelo de "schonbrun" caminhando (30 min). Perto da westbanhoof.

Good location 5 min from Wstbahnhof. Nice apartment, furnished with all you need for a short stay. The walls are humid even on the first floor. Probably they have problems with the drainage as the water is filling the floor when using the shower.

It was quite damp place. I think that main reason is that they dry laundry inside and that the ventilaiton is not ok. Maybe also condition of bathrooms should be better. But overall it was a good place to be at that prize.

Had a twin room that was very secure and clean. Location is handy to the buses and metro - but not central Vienna if that is what you are after. Very friendly staff though and would recommend - unless you want everything right at your door.
