We had an awesome stay here. it was really close to everything, the staff were awesome and friendly and the accomodation was super comfortable. it feels like a home away from home. i would definately reccommend it

excellent hostel with good facilities. Only "good" rating for location as it isn't in the centre of town.

This was a great choice and I would definitely stay here again. With a lounge and bar perfect for meeting new people or just chilling out, as well as being clean and modern, this was great. Close to the Metro and easy to find.

close to train station but a bit of a walk to town, not a massive issue though. other than that cant complain. good kitchen, friendly staff, massive lockers. really chill hostel, not much of a party hostel but then again i dont think vienna is a party town.

kitchen is dirty and cramped without much to cook with but the rest of the hostel is okay. They charge steep deposits but otherwise the place is nice, close to the train station with good company.

hostel is very close to the train station but right outside of the main city centre. The place is great if you want a relaxing atmophere for a few days. Nothing special. Is clean. Staff is very helpful.

Is a small hostel, but it is nice. The staff is really nice. The owner works there so he is always paying attention to details and taking care of you. Like I mentioned before is a small hostel is not a party hostel, but you can have a good rest in a good location.

Very easy to get to (close to the train station), tons of people hanging out in the bar at night (but it closes a little too early), very easy to meet people, and the staff is very easy to talk to. All around, a pretty good hostel. My only complaint is that it takes a train or a long walk to get...

The rooms were nice and big and the bunk beds were spaced quite a ways from each other. It was only a couple minutes from the train station, and the staff were helpful if you needed help with finding something on a map.

a bit outside the city center, but close to the main train station. A good price, but all the "extras" cost more (2.5 Euro for small breakfast).

The only down side was the locking of the kitchen at night means no mid night snacks or late night washing, apart from that, one of the best hostels of my trip as everyone staying there is so friendly

A very good hostel, close to the train station, in a quiet street. The common rooms are large, so it is a perfect place to meet other travellers around a beer ! The only bad points is that you will have to pay if you want to access Internet, or have a (very small) breakfast...

Very professional Hostel... Excellently run and located... The bar isn't all that great and the soppy bar man that was there when we were carried on like an old woman (pommy) because we were laughing too loud... apart from that it was a great place and would definitely return..

Really clean and well run hostel, the group kitchen was a feature with everything you needed, however it was annoying having to pay for internet when Wifi was free, I mean we can't all travel with our laptops!

This was my first hostel and I loved it. The room was very clean and the girls were so onice. I hope that all of my stay in future hostels will be as nice as this one. The people at the front desk were so helpful and enjoyable. I would recommend this hostel to anyone.

Great Location. As a solo traveller, found it hard to meet people, however, was only there for 3 nights. It was good to have the bathrooms in the rooms and nice and clean hostel.
