This was such a lovely hostel to stay in. Great facilities in the common areas and Erin and her staff couldn't have been more helpful. I arrived a couple of nights ahead of my partner and was going to take a single room for the first 2 nights and a double for the night he arrived, but Erin suggested giving... More

First hostel I ever stayed at and by far the best hostel. It was clean yet quirky. There was a great common area where it was easy to meet people. The rooms were not huge, but I had all the room I needed. Although outside the central part of the city, the hostel is right near the train station and... More

I had a great experience in this hostel, both in a private room for two nights and a shared room for one night. The rooms are clean and bright with en suite. The prices are decent, not mega-cheap but what I would call average for such a good location...5 minutes from West Bahnhof and the main part of Marienhilfestrasse. And... More

Not centrality located, about a 10min walk from Westbahnhof train station and metro. The breakfast was not included, average about 3 euros. Staff were helpful and honest about recommendations and allowed to print boarding passes. The showers and toilets were separated, about two toilets and two showers on each floor. No hairdryer. The room had a mirror and sink which... More

I loved the hostel.. one of the best I stayed in. Rooms and kitchen were clean and breakfast was awesome - tasty and fresh. People were all really helpful. Loved the concept of the living area, it had a chess board, piano, guitars etc, which made it feel like a college common room area.. great refreshment and break for me... More

I've been with 2 friends at the hostel for 3 days, and it was great. They're very organized, the place is cool, clean and bit quiet. The room is small if you have a lot of bagagge (specially if you are 2 or 3 girls...), but it works perfectly to have a good sleep night. And the staff is very,... More

Stayed here only for one night, but was very nice. Because our booked room was full, we got a free upgrade to a small apartment with own small kitchen and balcony. Advice for people with children to book. There is a relaxing bar to meet people in the evening or surf the internet. Friendly staff and clean, colorful place, also... More

I stayed in a private, 3 bed room for a long weekend in Vienna. Really clean throughout, good facilities, friendly staff, really good price - there really isn't anything bad to say about this place.
