Unfortunately, a friend made the reservation and got the location wrong. I had to take a taxi from Wien West Station, both directions @E11/12. Other than that, I enjoyed the stay.

I had a really bad experience. The beds are not well clean, some of the staff doesn't know anything. I had to leave the hostel at 3am because of the roomates I had. They looked like homeless people, all dirty, smelly, and dangerous. They started throwing beer all over the room, shouting, and even spill beer and on the beds. This shows how the hotel staff have no filter for whom should stay or not. I'm telling you, if I had seen these guys in the street I would probably have changed street.

Owner Comment (Show)
We are really sorry for what happened. But we can guarantee that these guest where no homeless people, they just came back from a concert where they obviously drank too much. Furthermore we have to say that we offered you an empty 4-bedroom whithout any additional costs (instead of your booked 6-bedroom), but you didn't accept our offer. So we just can announce once again that we are truly sorry for your inconvenience.

Very clean, I really have nothing to complain. After our stay the owner asked us how he could improve the service for a better travel experience. I will recommend it!

Nice. A bit out of the way, but easily accessible by subway. Front desk was very helpful.
