| Comments: Many problems here: really out in the sticks (at least 40mins into town, usually over an hour), mainly families wanting to sleep early, only 2 English channels on the TV in the tv \'lounge\' (grotty and in same room as ping-pong). NOT recommended. |

| Comments: I knew the hostel was a bit out of town, but as there were no cooking facilities and the restaurant was closed fro a private group, there were no eating options in the area besides an expensive restaurant about 200m down the road. Better for groups/teams/families than backpackers. |

| Comments: We stayed at this place for one night. It is located far outside the city center, but it can be reached by public transportation. It offers a wonderful view over vienna. The stuff was not the friendliest. We enjoyed the breakfast very much. A negative point is that we booked a double room and got a 4 bed room with two bunk beds for our own. They should declare this room type as a twin room. |

| Comments: really beautiful location, full view of the city. not suitable if you are partying but really good for the end of a long trip. i really enjoyed it and found it so relaxing. it is far from the city but there is a feeder bus outside the hostel that comes every 10 mins and taxis are not expensive. staff are very helpful and friendly. will plan a return visit. |

| Comments: Typical HI hostel -neat, clean, adequate breakfast, maps etc etc.
A bit out of the city. Be ready to pay for taxi often if u come back late in nights or wanna catch flight/ train early in the morning. Overall, definitely to be recommended. |

| Comments: Don't stay here if you want to go out partying at night- it takes about half an hour to get to from the city by metro and then bus. Once you get there, though, this is a very nice hostel. Very pretty view of the city from the back, and rooms are clean and comfortable. |

| Comments: I had a late check-in
the woman there was *EXTREMELY* rude!
ROOM = VERY dirty, pillows = FILTHY!
LOCATION = WORST (end of subway line + bus)
NOTHING around @ night!
NOTHING to drink/eat nearby (slept THIRSTY)
I stayed 1 night and one of us was bitten by a bug and got a week of allergy reaction!
there are only 2 (occupied) computers with IE ONLY!
the ONLY good thing is the view
DO NOT EVER BOOK THIS HOSTEL, EVER!!! |

| Comments: very clean with nice dorms.
we turned up very early in the morning under the impression that we would be albe to check in a relax however the woman who came to the door wouldn\'t even let us leave our bags or use the common room until reception opened at 9am. we had to sit on the grass in front of the hostel for 3 hours and even when reception opened we we only allowed to leave our bags and still weren\'t allowed into the hostel until 2pm when our room would be ready.
also this is more a summer camp for school kids than it is a travellers hostel. avoid if possible. |

| Comments: The staff at this hostel completely ruined my experience there! As is indicated on the website as well as at the hostel itself... reception is open 24 hours. BE AWARE! I was 3 minutes from missing my train because someone was not there the morning I left and when I rang the bell I was YELLED at by a staff member saying that everyone is asleep and I have to wait until someone gets there. When I told her I had a train she continued to yell saying basically tough luck. SO RUDE!!!!! |

| Comments: view from the top is absolutely amazing, location not as bad as made out, easy transfers to get there. not much to do in the evening, also meant to be quite difficult to get back to if clubbing downtown. beer vending machine was a lifesaver as there is no bar! |
