You'd think you get what you pay for, but it's worth paying a few euros more and staying somewhere better. The staff tell you one thing nd do another. Make promises then break them. They'll make up any old nonsense just to get a few more Euros out of you. Shoddy.

Location is okay, near the museum quarter. Other aspects are what you expect with the cheap price, nothing special. One problem is the sound proof of the room is poor.

Never saw the FREE COFFEE, TEA & HOT CHOCOLATE ALL DAY LONG. The "FREE" TOWELS require a 5 euro deposit. There was no free shampoo or soap (everything was empty). The reception of the Hostel is not a part of the actual hostel rooms. We had to walk around the corner to find a hole in the wall door that opened up to a big room filled with beds. They let us keep our luggage there before we checked in which was nice. Easy check in/out process. Very good location.

You first get your keys at the office then move by yourself to another building where are the rooms, with no stuff around. The place also wasn't really clean even if not really dirty neither.

We loved Labyrinth Hostel. We stayed for 5 nights in a private bedroom at 8 Lindengasse. Alex at the front desk was very helpful, in German and English. The location is absolutely amazing, a short walk to all the main sights in Vienna. The entire facility was well kept and clean, and for the money, this hostel cannot be beat. We were sad to see that they no longer provided free food at breakfast, but given the unfair reviews we don't blame them - at least they listen to feed back.

Great location. Facilities were good however of the two computers, both were unusable at the time. I met two staff members one, the later shift, was very helpful and friendly. The other wasn't and for some reason moved all my stuff into another room while I was out and left an illegible note saying where it had been moved. If you want to spend time in the hostel this isn't the place for you. If you want a jumping off point to explore the central part of the city then it is.

This time I was a bit disappointed that there was no common room. And there were a lot of people because 3 rooms are like melt together this means they walk through your room to get into their room. This is not really comfortable if you were staying there and it is fully booked. But I still enjoyed the warmth of the rooms and the tea and coffee making facilities. Also the location is perfect in the middle of the center.

Better than what we had in mind. Dorms are not seperated so rooms are all lined up. Anyways, there are a microwave, dishes, a refrigerateur, a electric kettle and a fan that we install usually for a gas stove but there's no gas stove. How weird, so no possibilities to cook a meal. However, the location is very nice, only 5 min walk from Museumsquartier station. And since we visited Vienna during the christmas season, there was a christmas market just next to. And try out the centimeter restau!

This is the worst place where I have ever lived. The room looks terrible and corridors are terrible too. There is no any atmosphere. Sad and boring place.

Is a pretty good option given how much it cost, is not very beautiful or organized. But the location is great!!! near almost everything you can walk all vienna by foot. The people in the hotel is not very nice, but you don't really need them for anything at all....

Our stay was very pleasant. We liked the free wifi;-) The only thing to complain about was the noise. The apartment was very old and so were the floors and doors. The floors were constantly cracking and squeaking when someone walked on them. As it would require a large investment to improve on this, I am not going to complain about that. But the doors could use a little oil to make opening them a bit quieter.

It was a wonderful stay in Vienna. The Hostel was wonderful and the lokation was awsome. I found it silly that there was no breakfast, just because some Revews said, that toast and jam would be too little for Breakfast.
