    We had a great stay. The staff was helpful and friendly and the room was clean and spacious. We got our room upgraded to a suite so it was more like an apartment.

    Friendliest staff I have ever met. We just had 2 days in Vienna and they helped us Plan in very effiecient way.

    Nice hostel. It had everything you expect from a good hostel and there is no reason I wouldn't stay again if I was arriving in Vienna by train. It's not in the centre of town, but it is close to the major intercity train station so it's excellent for a quick stop in Vienna. For a longer stay,... more

    Hostel is about 3 minutes walk from Westbahnhof station which made it very easy and quick to get around town. Located on a quiet street with a few great restaruants if wanting to eat out. Staff helpfully and friendly. Would stay there again and would recommend to anyone.

    I don't like giving bad grades but this wasn't a good experience for me.

It was a pain trying to convince a staff member I had paid - she... more

    The hostel was clean, friendly staff, and really close to the Westbahnhof, so if you have an early departing train or late arriving train, the location is definitley convenient for that. Kind of far from the action though, and not too many backpackers so you might find yourself lonely if you are... more

    For the price this hostel really does offer a lot, so if you are on a budget then this is a good choice. The staff weren't overly friendly or helpful and it is quite an old building and hostel.
