72%Alibi Hostel

Not the worst place to stay, however, it smelled like an old folks home. Nothing was particularly positive.

The entire time we were going through the check-in process, a staff member was speaking in German to the check-in staff about reminding us we need to leave early. This place is probably different during the summer but we were happy to move to a hotel closer to town for our last two nights for only 10-29 euro more a night.close

Loved the keychains. Staff went out of their way for everyone, and a gorgeous kitchen... just remember there is no fridge.

It's a big and modern hostel it does not include breakfast but you have a great kitchen to use, internet access is free and it was a really good experience!

I liked this place. The only thing I hated was the noise from the street in the morning. I couldn't get enough sleep here cuz my room was on the first floor. I don't know how it is upstairs. I would recommend this place.

Very hard bed, everything there(common rooms, kitchen);good train connection to city center ,but also everything in shops or restaurants around. Good price/offer ratio also when athmosphere in the floors and rooms is not warm or charming, but cold.

Health Risk! Be warned. The directions will drive you insane! They don't make sense. Its in a horrible location full of homeless drunks. So if you don't get bed bugs you might get robbed. The duvet looked like someone had pissed on it and the shower looked like and smelt like some ripe cheese.... more Health Risk! Be warned. The directions will drive you insane! They don't make sense.

It was almost like staying in a hotel! we ahd a room to ourselves for the price of a dorm, en suite, pretty sweet!!! Only problem is that there was one key between the whole room, a little more tricky if you don't know the others inyour room.

Good price for Vienna, nothing to use in the kitchen, there was 1 knife and four groups waiting to use it! location is good though, it's close to the old town and nearest metro station is only 5 mins.

It is a little far from the city centre but the public transport system in Vienna is so easy and efficient that this is not a problem. It is not the most social of places so if you are after a party house then this is probably not the place for you. I would happily stay here again and recommend it.close

Only 1 key for the whole room and only 1 person can hold it so it's a bit troublesome. Got a bad case of bedbug bites. Location a bit far from city centre where all the action is. But it is cheaper than many other hostels. So, you get what you pay for.

Not sure why there are two giant desks instead of an additional bed though, not sure who comes to a hostel to study. The directions were good, except they're missing one step. Once you exit the metro stop, don't go straight. Go a half block to the right, before turning left down the street with "Volksoper" written in giant letters on the exterior of a building, (really obvious.) Then continue the directions as indicated on the website.close
