Do not go to this hostel! Lock out is 10am - 12:30pm everyday. If you are asleep they will wake you up and kick you out. Floor boards squeak every step you take and can hear if someone is on the computer outside the room.

I didn't feel welcome at all. I probably came on the wrong time becouse they rather saw me leaving. So i did, but still had to pay for two night while i never have slept there. There's no fun in people that want to make lot's of money in stead of making you feel any welcome. I would not recoment...

In a very creepy building. The hostel has only one room with 7 beds. The bathroom was really clean.

Great beds, great location, helpful staff. Lockout from 10-12 everyday but you get that! Free internet (1 computer), good kitchen available, great shower (only 1) - its a small place with only around 16 beds so there's no big waits. Great place to explore Vienna from....

It was clean though cramped in the 8 bed dorm. The hostel charged the full price (without deducting the booking fee paid on hostelworld.com) saying that it was not their practice to do so even after highlighting that hostelworld terms and conditions mentions clearly that we only need to pay the remaining cost upon check in. I would only recommend it if there aren't any choices available. Personally I would not choose it again.close

A very nice and clean hostel if you are interested in a smaller setting. You get a lot of interaction with fellow hosteleers so the experience largely depends on who else is staying. It is in a side street and hard to find, so be sure to write down the address.

The Lock out at 10am is a real pain as you can't get in to use the shower or sleep in even though they only clean the beds that were used. The rooms are so close their is no room for privacy and it can be quite loud. the location ans the staff are really helpful but the lock out is horrible.

It was very clean. We happened to be staying among very friendly people so that made things better. The lockout can be a pain the floor creaks a lot. It's a good location and a nice atmosphere to relax, make some fun, surf the internet, etc.

The only problem it's that you have to leave the hostel so that it is cleaned between 10.00 and 12.30. But the hostel and the staff is really nice.

Nice clean hostel, perfect location, but if you are afraid of heights, maybe let the hostel know in advance, as you need a stepladder to reach some beds. Free internet is good but temperamental, as the PC often overheats and has to be left to cool down. Could do with another shower/bathroom, as it gets frantic with everyone locked out the hostel from 10am to 12. And do what the signs say!close

This hostel really is clean! The bunk beds were different from what I'm used to but in a good way, good beds. It was just a bit loud in the morning because of the street and we had to open the window because it was so hot.

Nice and clean, although the staff are only there from 8am till midday. There are a lot of rules plastered up over the walls and doors which makes it feel a little restricted. Small hostel, more like a converted appartment. Works well if there are other like minded travellers in there too.

Breakfast isnt included but there is a cheap supermarket 5mins walk away. Oh and the directions to the hostel could be better. Get off the U6 aturgasse like it says, but then walk for 5 mins along burgassse (street) for 10 mins and you will see Myrthengasse, and the hostel.close

Believe it or not is perfect for a city trip to vienna. The beds are good, the kitchen makes you able to cut some costs and it is close to the centre in a lively neigboorhood. The living room is very good and everything is spotclean. Next time Vienna i will definately come back.

However, they have this lock out time and they wont store your luggage after check out, and I believe that doesn't follow the spirit of a youth hostel. Also, even though the staff are not rude (not nice either), the hostel is full of these papers like scolding you all the time. It makes you feel as if you were back in highschool again and not on vacations.close

Apartment-style living, friendly staff and chill guests. My only little quibble is that I specifically requested a female only room and was put in the guys' bedroom for both nights. It's a bit of a walk to the nearest metro stop (~12-15 miinutes) but the neighborhood is quite nice. There's... more Apartment-style living, friendly staff and chill guests.
