Comments: Clean, comfortable and plenty of room to crash out, but the 10-2 lock out is a bit of a pain.

Comments: There are notes everywhere telling you not to have fun (or words to that effect) and they kick you out from 10.00 til 2.00 to \'clean\' though it isnt particularly. Cheap though...for Vienna.

Comments: There is no staff during day time, and when they are there they have stony faces. The hostel is clean, but in the middle of a red light district, with lots of gogo bars. It's ok for groups of travellers, but don't go there when you travel alone.

Comments: Panda hostel was a place to sleep, that's all. Security concerns when we first got there at 2pm and our (and 4 other peoples) keys were pinned to the door. It is an apartment that's been turned into a hostel. It has a kitchenette at best. There is a compulsory lock out (i.e. leave the hostel) between 10 and 2 for cleaning. Price was OK and not too far to walk to town but not that much going for it.

Comments: You can't do anything wrong. There are signs for everything! Don't use this washing machine, dont throw up in the sink, recycle plastic here, clean up this when you use is etc etc etc. The hostess has a very strange kind of humor, and off office hours you're on your own since there is no front desk. Not really in downtown Vienna, it takes a 15 to 20 minute walk to get to the museumquartier where the centre starts, then its another 20 minutes to get to the centre.

Comments: Would highly recommend this hostel, expecially if u are arriving at the Westbahnhof- its only four stops on the no 5 tram and from the station u can get the U-Bahn to the very centre of Vienna in 5 minutes- all in all it takes about 15 mins to get to the city from the door. Its an apartment converted into a hostel with three dorms, the beds are very comfy and made for u every day, staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Showers and toilets always clean

Comments: It is a very small hostel with only two showers so mornings are hectic. No stove or oven so cooking meals are hard but very clean and nice. Not really a party place but the lady who works there is very helpful and gives you all sorts ofinfo about the area so that is good.

Comments: There was a huge mistake with our booking but they managed it well and found us a room (in a different appartment though)then we moved to a different building across the street : a quiet bunker-like place..we missed all the fun of the dormitory but it was 10 min by foot to the historical centre of Vienna and the Museums QUarter and all.

Comments: Absence of luggage room might be a problem.Cleaned carefully during the lock-out hours.Looks more than a regular appartment rather than a hostel.A quarter on foot from the center.And if it wasn't for a bunch of annoyingly loud "individuos" it would be more "bonito".

Comments: The staff is only there from 8-10 in the morning. There is a lock out each day at 10. When we got there all of the keys were taped to the front of the door, so make sure to lock your stuff up. It's a nice little apartment hostel for the quiet traveler. Very clean but only one bathroom!

Comments: The hostel is better than expected. The room was supposed to be for 10 person but then we got a room just for the 4 of us (we had to move one bed from another room).The room are nice and the hostel is clean. Drawbacks are the only bathroom (but we always took showers at night) and the staff almost absent. The position wasn\'t that bad. I\'d come back.

Comments: Very clean, nice rooms and enjoyable atmosphere. The staff was not at all friendly however, and they were only in the hostel for about 4 hours a day, making it difficult to work out issues.

Comments: dont get why the ratings arent higher for this hostel... the location was amazing, everything was extremely clean, and the beds were very comfortable... the staff was pretty inexistant, but that is not necessarily a bad thing... overall, very good hostel and very clean

Comments: Great atmosphere, almost family feel to it. There are only 2 showers, which was the only drawback, but this was otherwise a good hostel. Was here for the Euro Finals, so the atmosphere was overall spectacular.
