We were only disappointed that the "double bed" was two singles pushed together, which meant that if we wanted to cuddle in bed, someone was stuck in the middle crack between the two beds. On most mornings we woke up with a sore back. Arabella was very attentive, friendly and helpful. We didn't know that we couldn't pay by VISA, would be helpful to have this info beforehand

There's a metro station really close. The staff is nice and funny. Good internet access. Clean and good value for money. There's a kitchen with all the facilities. In the standard double room, there's another double room in the same apartment with bathroom shared. The reception isn't 24 hours, is almost like rented apartments in a common building. Arabella and Rudi (owners) stay in the reception from around 9am till 2pm, but if you need some thing they'll help you for sure. It was everything ok

We were living in a flat, which has 2 rooms and is meant for 4 persons, but fortunately during our staying there we were alone. The house is located near West Bahnhof, so it's really convenient if you travel by train, and not far from city centre (2 km walking/5 metro stations). Arabella turned out a very friendly woman, she gave us all basic information about the city. My only concern about this flat is quite thin walls, so we can hear someone was playing violin late in the night.

Hostel, was amazing, I would highly recommend it to couples, as the room i had stayed in was set out as an apartment with a shared bathroom, very clean. Staff more than happy to help you out as best they can. free coffee and tea, had my own kitchen with pots, pans, etc. overall would recommend this hostel to anyone/everyone in Vienna

This is a lovely, quiet guesthouse in a nice part of Vienna. The owner was so friendly and helpful with everything, making sure we had tea and clean laundry and knew what we were doing in the city. The room was beautiful - we were on the 10th floor with a spectacular view of Vienna. The room was big and light, and we had a kitchen. Great value for the money. The walk to most of the attractions took some time, but as I like walking that was fine in addition, it is right on the metro lines.
