Servus und Willkommen at CheapCheap Homestay! Well, maybe we are not a regular hostel. It's rather a 'micro hostel' or family homestay. Except that we are not a regular family either, but young people living together. We are friendly people who like friendly guests! Since every hostel claims to be located at the best spot in town, here is our version of this very subjective matter: * We don't live in walking distance to the train stations, but there is not much to see at the train station either. * The Prater park where with the stadium is not too far away. * From our livingroom you can see the Stephansdom which means the historic centre is in walking distance. * Our guests and us share the cozy living room and fully equipped kitchen. * We live next to the Danube Channel, which is really nice to walk along, especially in summertime when the bars are open. * Of course our favourite clubs are nearby: Flex, Fluc and Badeschiff * speaking of Badeschiff: it is not only an awesome party location but also a public swimmingpool floating on the Danube Channel (open till midnight) Vienna is not so big at all, therefore it is great to explore the city by bike. We have a very comfortable and cheap opportunity to rent bikes in Vienna: citybikes. All around the city, there are a lot of stations to lend and return a bike. But not enough, every first hour is free of charge. There are two stations very close to our apartement. And here are some last formalities: * we don't accept credit cards, but there is a bank machine just outside our door * we have an agelimit of 35 years. * you need to contact us to give your estimated time of arrival We would be very pleased to have you as our guest at CheapCheap Homestay!

Patrick and his girlfriend were probably the nicest people we met while we were in europe. They gave us tips for the city, a great place to stay, and access to their kitchen. (:

Patrick and Gabrielle couldn't have been better hosts. They make you feel very welcome in what is, really, their apartment. This isn't one of the big chain hostels and I think, in a way, that made my trip to Vienna even better than it was.

It felt very secure and safe to keep your things in your room, but Patrick will let you keep things in his room if you ask him though. Patrick is very kind and helpful, showing you different places to check out on a map. I felt like I was part of the apartment and not some guy who was in his way. I would definitely stay there again, this is a model for what other hostels should be like for backpackers!close

So if you prefer to stay with a good friend rather than with company where you are number XX, stay here. Its not big, not extravagant, but who cares, your traveling. You will have everything you need and more, and the best "staff" ever. STAY HERE!

The finest hostel i/we have ever stayed in. Gabs Pat and of course Rabi were great hosts and contrary to popular belief patrick actually changes his clothes at least thrice-weekly :) Serious though, great hostel, great location, great rooms and great hosts. I wish they were all like this.

The atmosfear can be compared with a students house, company if you want but also the possibility to stay in your own room if you want. There is one shared living room and one kitchen, in which you can cook your meal to save money if you want to. Location is near the Prater Park. subway and in th city center.close

This was a great experience, it's more like being a roommate than a backpacker. The place is really cool and retro. Patrik, the guy in charge, is the best. He gives the best advice on the city, he knows it all. Really nice guy! Good luck with the Cheap Cheap Empire, Pat!
