Very nice hostel, we enjoyed our stay last summer! Our twin had a wash basin and mirror (very handy), was clean and tidy and all at a very good price. In a good location really close to ringstrasse and main attractions. Highly rated!

A nice welcome from helpful staff but...no heat in room, 5th floor room (no elevator!), lock on toilette door did not work. Funny (bad) smell in room. Lots of door noise.

it's most likely student resident, no towels, shared shower room, and a poor room. Anyway, it's quite cheap and better for a short term trip.

Be aware of the steps. One is very dangeres and higher than the other one. Through that you can fall very hard. The rooms are ok, not beautifull but ok.

The one thing that bothered me was the fact that you have common showers which do not provide the privacy that most of us are very used to these days(especially in the shower area). Also there wasn't any soap on offer in the soap dispenseres. Howerver the staff was rally nice with helping us...

It was great until a nail coming out from my matress ripped my jeans (fortunately I was wearing them when taking a nap). The staff was quite helpful with that anyway, but they definitely need to renew the furniture.

Some staff members were very helpful, had wonderful English and were a great help. One staff member, Wilhelm, was very unhelpful, spoke dire English and was frankly rude. I think he's too old to be working there in any case, it's a YOUTH hostel!

The staff was friendly and helpful, the room amenities were spartan but adequate, a shower could be a floor away but they were always clean; a little far from the city center and major attractions but with good public transport available that is not much of an issue; al in all, quite servicable

Location is not so good (30 min by foot to the centrum), & I wouldn't stay there once more. Everytime you leave, you must leave the key at the desk & not always the stuff is there when you come back. Cleaning ladies go into your room without asking. Rooms are not very comfortable (short...
