Hostel Ruthensteiner Reviews

I loved the hostel except for one point: the showers. I thought it was funny to read "no shower limit" in the description, because usually there is no such a thing in hostels, but actually they kind of have. As they don't have too many showers, they have a sign suggesting you to take 5 minutes showers and the shower has a device that shuts de water every 30 seconds, more or less (and then when you turn it on again, cold water!!). They really shouldn't mention the showers in their description.

I like kind staffs Also fascility is kind of clean

This is a SUPERB hostel. It is more like a self-catering hotel. The kitchen is superbly well equipped, and the place is homely and stylish. And it all cost £9 a night.

The best hostel I have stayed in!

Nous avons passé une nuit dans cette auberge de jeunesse,4 lits pour 3 et une salle de bain privée, très agréable. Il faut juste prévoir des serviettes de toilette.Petit déjeuner très abordable et café à volonté!! Personnel aimable et serviable. Proche du métro U3, vraiment pratique. Bonne ambiance.Nous recommandons cette adresse!

This hostel was amazing..the rooms are so clean and new, they have really friendly and easy-going staff, they provide lockers, have free wifi in the rooms, have really laidback common areas and atmosphere..it was everything you could need. I'd definitely stay here again!

Well organized Hostel. Good location. The bar closes after 11:30 pm but it´s a cool bar. Clean place. The shower is kind of irritating because you have to push the button every 10 seconds, but the private room is nice. Nothing is for free, only the lockers to save your things if you’re not in a private room. Internet is 2 euro for 45 minutes and one euro for a bag of tea, not a hostel mentality. The kitchen is small for the volume of people, but it's ok.

We came to the hostel almost 8 hours before check-in, but thanked to girl on reservation we’ve got our private triple room 3 hours earlier. besides, she told us that because of 5 nights staying we have some bonus - it was not just place to sleep but a real big flat with kitchen, shower etc. Probably it was our luck, but still thanks’ for Ruthensteiner's team. The location is several km. to the center, but very calm and still two steps to the main touristic street

really close to lots of public transport, but not close to any tourist sites. otherwise a fabulous hostel!

Friendly staff, cute lounge area. I was there in the winter, but would be really great for the summer - good looking outdoor area. Location is OK, easy access to city center by metro or walking (maybe 40 minutes).

Very warm and inviting; loved the courtyard and convivial common-spaces. I really appreciated the full-sized lockers in the dormitory (female dorm across street), although I found the beds quite small and close together. Plans to put a kitchen in that room are really interesting. I appreciated the recycling bins and all the friendly messages posted around the place. And I LOVED the map & pocket guide we were given - they were so helpful and I used the map until it fell apart.

My friend and I stayed here for a week over Xmas and had a wonderful time. Highlight was definitely hanging out at the bar meeting other travellers and chatting with Matt the bartender. Thanks for a great time guys!

No free tea, kitchen closes at 11pm

Big clean rooms, really close to the train station which is easy to get to from the Airport. It's conveniently located on a big main street that leads to the centre of the city. I'd stay again!

second time iv stayed here. thats got to say something!

Amazing hostel. Have already booked a bed for my next stay in Vienna. Would not stay anywhere else in the city. Great location, far enough to be quite in the evening but very close to both tram and underground lines and an easy walk from the center of the city.

AWESOME HOSTEL!! One of the best I have stayed in.

Clean hostel, good location surrounding by all kinds of shops and restaurants. The rooms were completely new but a little small (at least the room for 5 persons). Good staff. I would recommend this hostel.

Very good hostel. Room was large and spread out. Free wifi in the common room as well as in the rooms. Walking tours offered by the hostel are on Thursday's and Sunday's which isn't mentioned anywhere so I had to wander around Vienna on my own. Breakfast is extra and is very sub par. I just went to a supermarket and picked up some stuff and ate that for breakfast which was much cheaper and more satisfying. Very well equipped kitchen and self serve laundry so if your stuff shrinks its your fault

All was great. But the private room is rather small.
