The hostel simply consists of apartments in a classic Viennese house, which makes you feel like having your own flat, not really staying in hostel. We were two and got a private spacious apartment with a double bed, there were also additional bunk beds for four more people (empty in our case). The main room was really big, but the... More

I got a bit of difficulty finding the place when I first arrived to Vienna. The direction given from the hostel was not really accurate. But Vienna people was so nice and helpful. At the end, an old kind lady helped me to find the place and even with the local people it still took around 30 minutes walking around... More

The Happy Hostel is a great place to stay for couples on a budget. With private rooms at around 45 euros a night, it's very good value. The rooms, while a little dated, are spacious and clean. We shared a bathroom with two other rooms but we never had to wait to use it. The staff are friendly and the... More

i rent a single room for a week, as i was attending at an academic congress. They give me a single room in an appartment in front of the hostel. The appartment has two rooms, so you have to share a full equiped kitchen, a shower room and a rest room. The room has two beds, although the administrator says... More

Franz, Happy Hostel's founder, is always trying to improve his hostel and watching out for his guests. I have stayed in his apartments, and found them to be cozy, homey and a comfort after tredging through snow and wind. I looked forward to getting comfortable in the warm room, and watching a bit of local TV. The staff have always... More

I stayed in a single room in one of their shared apartments for almost a week. The location was excellent, and the staff were very helpful with all my queries. But what stopped me from giving this 4 stars was the room - the door was warped so locking the door was a battle, the pillow was flat and the... More

We stayed at the Happy Hostel for 3 nights in November of 2011. The booking was for a double private ensuite. The provided room was a large main room with queen bed, couch, table/chairs and a 2nd bedroom. It was more than we expected. We would stay there again without hesitation!

Very friendly and helpful staff who made us feel most welcome and were very helpful. Huge room with longe dinging kitchen and large bathroom was surprising and very clean. Almost didn't want to leave! I suggest anyone who stays here however not to visit the cafe west end near westbahnorf station. Big tourist trap. Cannot fault this hostel though! Wish... More

I stayed with my partner at Happy Hostel for a couple of nights as part of a trip across Europe and found it adequate for my money. We stayed in a double room with shared bathroom which I was a bit dubious at first but needn't have been as we were only sharing with the occupants of one other room... More
