80%Red Carpet Hostels Vienna

This hostel was in a great location, but I would not stay here again. It felt like a college dorm and had little charm. You also had to wait forever in a line to turn in or pick up your key whenever you came or went anywhere. There are surely other gems in such a wonderful city.

Budget hotel/hostel the location is a bit out of the city center but there is still heaps to do nearby and the train station is only a couple of minutes walk away. theres not much atmosphere but it was worth the price on all other accounts.

An excellent hostel which was more like a hotel. Staff were brilliant and always available for advice. Just next to the station, about 5 minute walk. Would highly reccommend this hotel to anyone, would definately stay again.

Very well located, next to Westbahnof and a good hostel. The major inconvenient was mostly the fact that the reception had usually 1 person who wasn't enough to attend all people checking in and asking for the key during the day.

As a conclusion: VIENNA = RED CARPET HOSTEL :)close

The hostel is grand, more like a little motel. Staff are nice enough. the ridiculously named Little Vegas bar looked like my grannies kitchen. No atmosphere but near the traveller shack and a great restauraunt called Mozarts.

This place had no character, the staff were not especially helpful bordering on unfriendly, our bathroom was flooded and the room had an extremely offensive smell which we could only attribute to mould. Bring your gas mask.

friendliest staff you could want. location is by history stuff and shopping but not fun stuff, so good rest. free computer and internet which is rare. as close to central station as you can get to in a city like berlin. stay here for best overall experience.

Staff extremely helpful despite being very busy. Nice garden in back is a great relax to relax (with WiFi!). Bar is a good location but the "theme" is all wrong... could be fabulous but is just ok. Breakfast arrangement with a local restaurant works well but adds to the cost (5 Euros for coffee, an egg and two buns; 7 if you add ham, cheese and juice)close

Very clean and hotel-like place, welcome drink, location very close to Westbahnhof, Mariahilfer Strasse and to the city center (few stops by underground). The only one problem was parking - except for weekends no possibility to park near to the hostel, becouse the street belongs to the "inner city". But we found quite fast a free of charge parking place behind the Gürtel-street. I really recommend that place to everybody!close

The staffs are very helpful and kind. But the street that our window faces to is very noisy. Even at 3:00am, there are some people laugh or talk very loudly when they are having some beer on the street (almost every night).
