  • thomascoady2179 from Ireland, has 1 reviewsthomascoady2179 says:

    Ideally located, very clean and very suitable for our needs, i.e. fit for purpose (two-night stay to visit our son who is studying in Vienna University). The only criticism we had was that the mattress was of foam material which resulted in making sleeping uncomfortable and clammy. Apart from... more

    What a wonderful place. Yes, there are many steps to climb, but that is stated by this hostel. It is small and intimate. Our room with indoor bathroom was large, well-lit, comfortable and big. I think, we were maybe the only guest, since there was absolutely no noise from outside or inside. The... more

    Our stay at Tina's was great, we loved the place and it's hosts! We received a warm welcome and also Tina helped us with very useful information during our stay. I recommend this boarding bouse for everyone who appreciates cosy and calm atmosphere in the very centre of Vienna.

    The quilts were very dirty. There was no bath towels and the existing hand towels were old and dirty. This hostel is overrated.

    Excellent locations and lovely hostel. Nice and quiet. Perfect for a couple staying a few days. Only downfall is you have to climb a few flights of stairs to get up there which can be difficult with luggage. Very nice and helpful staff and very good facilities made it an excellant stay.

    Very good location and very good rooms. However, this is not for people looking for fun. This is for people looking for a NICE place to rest and an EXCELENT bed to sleep. Very nice location and friendly staff. Totally recommend.

    When I arrived at Westbanhoff, and found my way to Mariahilfenstrasse, I thought there could be no way K&T would be so conveniently located. I was wrong.

    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.

    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.

Description of K&T Boardinghouse

This is a family managed small private guesthouse with a friendly atmosphere. If you wish to experience Vienna as a traveller, in a very authentic and local atmosphere then this is the place you should choose to stay. We are located in the heart of the main shopping street, Mariahilfer Strasse, in one of Vienna's liveliest areas. There are many places to eat, including coffee houses (from Starbucks to the traditional Viennese), bars, bakeries, restaurants, deli's and family style establishments in the area and we have found for this reason that our guests prefer to go out for breakfast. Therefore we do not serve breakfast. We provide a kettle and mugs in your room with coffee and tee bags for your first morning. There are no kitchen facilities available in the house. The Naschmarket is only a 10min. walk away and it is open 6 days a week. You will find fresh fruit and vegetable stands, international deli's and food stalls offering inexpensive meals. On Saturday's there is also a popular "Flee market". The Spittelberg area, noted for its student bars and artistic shops, is about a 5 min walk away. When you check in, we offer a detailed outline as to what to do in Vienna, along with a city map, to help make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. We are also happy to offer advice on eating out, museums, using the public transportation, events.....etc. Please note: We are located on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator therefore travelers with very heavy luggage or health problems will need to consider this when booking with us. Free Internet access is available 24 hours/7days at the reception area. Fax and telephone services can be used at regular charges. We can take care of your laundry for a minimal extra fee. An iron, ironing board and hairdryer are available any time for free. We offer free luggage storage after check out, where you perhaps have a late departure from Vienna or if you arrive early and the room is not yet ready. There are 3 spacious rooms, each with full private facilities, Cable TV (CNN) and can accommodate up to 5 people in a room. Each room has an air conditioner with remote controll, on requirement 10€/day extra charge. Each room has traditional high ceilings, parquetry floors and decorated in a simple soft classic style. All rooms are very clean, light and bright, with one room facing an inner courtyard and the other two onto one of Vienna's most popular streets. The rooms are striktly non-smoking and are equipped with towels middlesized and not bathtowels!, soap, shampoo&duschgel, shuecleaner, W.C. rolls regular and wet, refreshener tissues and clenex. Our prices include all taxes and a daily cleaning service. Prices can vary based on the season (Christmas and Easter) and if you book a room via a reservation system or travel agent. Reservations should be secured by Visa or Master card, but we will ask you to pay us here in cash. It is Very Important that you inform us of your arrival time. We are managing a family style establishment, so we need to know when to expect you, as we are not always at home. Thank you.
