Tina was extremely helpful on how to get around and suggestions along with being extremely clean and comfortable atmosphere. Only thing negative was the 6 stair cases up to the boarding house with luggage :)

Very nice place. 10 min walk to museums, so good location. Our room was very large, pretty and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Our room had been double booked for one night but we were only told on arrival (were put in another hostel close by) so watch out for this.

Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Small family run business in a good, central location and right near an Underground station. Rooms large and airy.

Great accomodation for the ones looking for a quite place to live in, but with easy access to any place in the city. Wonderful location, very close to subway station, and right on Mariahilfe strasse. Very clean rooms& bathrooms.

We had the room to the yard with private bath. Everything was in good condition, room looks fresh renovated. The mattress could be better, but for three nights it was ok. Room and bath was veeeery clean, every day room service. Room is spacious (see photos), but bath is small (shower cabin approx. 80x80 cm). Shower water gets hot quick, good pressure. Towels are thick, but small. Modern sound-proof windows keep the noise out, but it was quiet anyway because of the yard. (The room to the street could be more noisy.) Only noise comes from other guests, if walking/talking on the floor or using their bathroom. If the staff dont use their PC in the floor, you can use it for free internet connection. Our main reason for booking this room: We found it has the best relation between price and distance to the city center. The Boardinghouse is at a shopping street, only 3 minutes walk to the subway station "Neubaugasse". Drive three stations and you are in the city center! All hotels with the same price as the boardinghouse are located farther away. pro: good locaition, clean, spacoius room, free internet con: small bath, average mattressclose

Tina from K&T was very helpful and friendly. My sister and I were both sick while in Vienna and she gave us the name of a nearby doctor, which was great. Notes: No access to kitchen! Pharmacy nearby. Internet connection is fast. Close to underground. Far from train station.

Only a few but large rooms, no kitchen and in an excellent location, in the middle of the main shopping drag of Vienna. And because it is on the 3rd floor, there were no noise problems. However, the time that we were staying we only saw the proprietor twice. They did leave a phone number where they could be reached, but it does make it a little less personal. Otherwise this is an excellent hostel.close

This was an excellent place to stay! We were there for 4 nights nd it was in a perfect location - near lots of restaurants, cheaper shopping, metro and a short walk to all the main sights in the city center. I would definately stay there again!

This is a wonderful place to stay. Cozy and peaceful, yet at the same time right on the bustling street--Mariahilfer Strasse. The room is really nice and clean. It offered far more than I expected. If I have a chance to visit Vienna again, I will certainly choose here to stay.
