Comments: Both nights here I met great people. It is a little out of the way by foot but only five minutes by metro to the centre city. I would recommend this hostel for its cleanliness, prices, lovely garden and the feeling of safety I had in the neighborhood and in the building.

Comments: Good hostel, except the staff didn't really have information about anything. Didn't know what restaurants or markets were open and couldn't really give me directions anywhere. Other than that it was nice.

Comments: Just a good hostel, a big one. Has got all the essentials: clean, garden, kitchen, wireless, good lockers, warm water, staff always available (no free breakfast though), bar. Rooms can be warm at hot days. In a good shopping area with some bars and pubs but little bit far from the old city, however not far from Schonbrunn castle.

Comments: A very good hostel, very secure, comfortable, and near the Westbahnhof, then you really can move through Vienna. The only con I could find is the breakfast, for 2.50 is a little bit poor, only 2 breads, butters and only one jelly, they charge 25 cents if you want another. But other than that I really enjoyed my stay.

Comments: With chessboards, guitars, piano, couches, a bar, music, a terrace and a warm look, this is probably one of the best hostels I've ever been to. Its price is also reasonable (breakfast isn't included though and tbh the one they offer for € 2,50 is a ripoff). There are lockers in the rooms and that's a good thing since this hostel seems to attract the thieving (our camera was nicked).

Comments: On the night of July 14th to July 15th I went to reception to ask for some information on how to get to the airport and the guy at reception was extremely rude and impatient. There was no reason or excuse for that behavior, he was not doing anything besides probably checking emails and still acted that way. The rest of the staff during the day was very nice, but someone needs to teach this guy how to do his job.

Comments: Very nice and clean hostel. Each room has a bathroom attached and the common are is always filled with people. The only problem with this hostel is how far it is from the city center, but that can be easily overcome by getting a bike or using the metro.
