Comments: Very modern, clean and safe hostel. However, it does feel a bit institutional, and not really within walking distance of much that you would want to do or see, so you need to catch the metro/tram etc to get to most places. Still, a good place if you need a safe and clean environment.

Comments: está lejos del centro histórico y el barrio es algo desangelado, igualmente podés llegar al Belvedere caminando. Es muy limpio, el desayuno correcto, el personal correcto . Faltaría algo de diversión.

Comments: As you arrive there, ask how much is the cost for breathing, probably will be the only thing they dont charge. Everything is paid. Internet (4 euros per hour), towel, the lock to use in the room's locker etc. Also, the location isn´t that nice, like 4 long stations to the center town. Anyway, the rooms, although tinies, are very clean, the breakfast (included) is good and the staff is ok. Not an unforgettable hostel, but you will be just fine there

Comments: Lacks character and fun. It's completely safe and very clean. However, the hostel is almost seems sterile with rules like: No patio traffic after 8pm - character and fun are lacking.

Comments: Close to subway station but not close to anything exciting. Good security with lockers and keycards for every room. Staff has very helpful and knowledgeable. Rooms/bathrooms cleaned every day. Not a very great lounge/bar/hangout area so wasn't too fun. Stay at the Meininger Hostel which is just down the street if you're looking for fun as it has a WAY better hangout/bar/lounge area.

Comments: Ok location, only three stops from city centre. The rooms are very clean with great beds, but they squeeze 6 into a room that should only have four. The bathrooms are good too though. Needs a bar or more atmosphere.

Comments: Personally I think it was worth to pay for this hostel. You will get a super clean and safe room althought you have to share with the others. The lockers were provided but you need to have you own key. Breakfast was wonderful. I love there ! Kory from Thailand

Comments: A nice hostel who looks like a hotel. No kitchen which would be useful. Large all u can eat breakfast. Tiny rooms with lockers and real mattresses. The underground is only 2mn away and the hostel is 4 fours stations from the historical center...

Comments: An excellent hostell to stay at. The staff were especially friendly and helpful. The rooms etc were emaculately clean and it was a pleasure to stay there. One thing that would hep, a kettle to make a cuppa after along day walking around Vienna, and maybe a small microwave. In New Zealand all our hostells have kitchens , which helps with the budget. Again thanks for the stay- will highly recommend to friends. Mrs S Marx
