I agree with the previous poster that this place is mostly suited to backpackers in their early twenties, although my husband who is older than me didn't mind the atmosphere. Be aware that the directions from the hostel do not mention how far the hostel is from the subway. If you have heavy luggage, it is a long walk from... more

Stayed here in a double room with private bathroom. The room smelled funny and the bathroom was NOT clean at all - there was hair all over the sink and shower when we arrived and the whole bathroom smelled like urine. We stayed here for 3 nights and the room was not visited by cleaning staff the entire time. The... more

My friends were staying at this hostel, when I came to Vienna and joined them, so they booked a bed for me too. I enjoyed staying there, it's a very good hostel. Very clean, silent and not too far from the "Westbahnhof" train and metro station, so it's very easy to reach the city centre. Staff was very helpful, so... more

wombat's - the base is situated just a few minutes away from the westbahnhof. you can reach the citiy center easily within some minutes by underground. the common room is great, you can play billard or table socker there or just sit around (on the sofas etc) and meet other travellers. there's a big bar with a lot of choice... more

This place is great. It is clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, it is in a good location in Vienna, and the map they give you when you check in has spectacular recommendations on it for food and entertainment. A fantastic place to stay in Vienna. more

This is the best place I had never been to before. Price is good. Young, friendly, helpful receptionist smiling all the times. The room are super secure, clean. Breakfast is nice and fresh in a very resonable price. Common kitchen and launder are functioning well. Resonable price for internet usage, lobby offering few free magazine and books to read. Handly... more

Went to Vienna for the weekend. Booked Wombat's because of the good reviews on TripAdvisor. We stayed at the Base because the Lounge was booked. The Base is a bit farther from Westbahnhof than the Lounge (you pass the Lounge as you get to the Base), but still the location was good. The area did not seem too sketchy as... more

I've travelled a lot throught Europe and Wombat's is for me the best youth hostel I've stayed in. It's clean, the atmosphere is great (you have a nice bar to meet people with pool tables and other games to use) I was in a room for 4 people but we had our own toilet ensuite. The sheets and towels are... more

Located about a 10 minute walk from Westbahnhof train station. It's not the most central location and not in the nicest part of Vienna but there are 2 underground lines a short walk away so getting to central Vienna is fairly quick and easy. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. Lockers in rooms as well as safes at reception for valuables.... more
