This hostel is definitely more than worth the money you pay. If you're a couple, go for a twin bed private room and you will be astonished to see that its not just the bedroom, its a whole apartment dedicated to you. You have the facility to cook your own food. The bath room is humongous with a bath tub. Also, its a walk away distance from most attractions in vienna, first of all its close to the westbanhoff station and then walk on the shopping street leads you all the way till museum quarters!

This was the greatest hostel we have ever been to in Vienna. Very nice and clean, very good location, very nice and friendly staff. The room was very nice, very big. We loved it!

The room was good compared to the price. The breakfast was okay. The room was almost clean, still there was a little dirt on top of the closets. The only real "problem" about the place was the lousy wifi connection wich only worked close to the door or on the toilet. I will recommend the place :-)

We are a couple, British and Chinese. It's a professional hostel. Very easy to find it as it's close to a railway station.

We took a private room. It was huge room with a kitchen which we did not use. It is a bit old but it was very clean and the bed was very confortable except for the fact it was twin beds placed together instead of a double bed. We just wanted to spend the night and it was very good for us considering the price in the expensive Vienna. I did not see however a good atmosphere to meet other people in the hostel. It looks more like a hotel.

Me and my friend were in a room of 4, in a small apartment (containing another room of 4) which had its own kitchen, bathroom and toilet. The only negative points: the bathroom was not very clean, and our bedroom's door does a lot of noise when we open it.

I stayed there for one night in a 2 bed private room with my friend. The room was nice and big but the corridors and surroundings were pretty unappealing. Facilities in the room were ok. Given that this is a hostel I guess one can't expect a lot but I didn't want to use the dishes and cutlery without washing them myself first. Staff was helpful but he wasn't always around, which almost became a problem when we had to pick up our backpacks 30 minutes before our train departed.

It was a wonderful hostel in terms of the fact that it was an apartment setting and was a nice place to stay for those who do not want to share a room with others. The staff was absolutely wonderful, giving us maps and advice and telling us what fun things were going on the weekend during our visit. However.. the condition of the shower in our apartment was absolutely disgusting, there was mold/rust (honestly not sure what it was) all along the edges and we found food underneath our bed as well.

The Happy Hostel is what it says it is, a Happy Hostel. The staff were jolly, and they were very interesting people too. The facilites and value for money, were what one expects of a hostel in a big city, and the location was very convenient. I would recommend it to anyone.

This was definetly the nicest hostel with the most facilities we have ever been in. It was very clean, had an ideal location, the staff was very nice, a very nice bathroom,... The only thing was that the beds were very bed, but to solve this we slept on the couch.

Great hostel in terms of what you get for your money. It's located about 30 minutes outside the center, but there's a metro close by to connect you.

We reserved a room for two with private bath & kitchen. The room was huge with much more space than we were expecting. Two huge windows looked out onto the street & a table was,I for t of o e. an old bur comfortable sofa was against the wall. There was a closet & outlets. The shower had very hot water when It was not used up, so my daughter got a terrific shower the 1st night & I did the 2nd night. The walk from the train station was only about 10 min. Inexpensive dining nearby

We stayed there for one night and loved the place. People working there were really helpful and nice. The room was equipped with towels. I also borrowed hair-dryer for the reception. We booked a double-bed room and it was very clean and nicely arranged, seems like a quite place! There was also a parrot when we arrived to the hostel...there were some recostruction works in progress and there was this parrot hopping around! very home-like atmosphere! Would recommend it!

HappyHostel has a key system. Each room key can also open the main door, but no other rooms. So there is absolutly security. Nobody can open otherone's door.
