The hostel is super far from the city center. But close to the train station I suppose. Also there is only wifi in the lounge and you have no hope of tapping into the signal from your room on the fourth floor. The bar was fun tho. I also stayed at the wombats on nashmarkt and I would highly recommend that one instead!

Nice hostel. Comfortable bed and spacious room. Location is close to the western train station, not too close to the centre of Vienna though - but fine since public transport is good. Overall a good hostel. Loved the espresso machine available to use at breakfast!

The pros: -right by a main metro station -3.80 euro breakfast -great staff -really secure huge locker that can only be accessed with your own coded room key The not so good: -no wifi anywhere except on main reception floor. A HUGE negative for me. -I was on 4th floor room 410. Room had bare essential which mean only a bed, no dresser, no extra storage except the locker given Would I stay again? -Yes, but if I find another hostel with wifi throughout building I would go there instead

Nice atmosphere, helpful staff, nicely furnished. Especially those funny memes around the whole building made my day:-) I can highly recomend this hostel. Breakfast was cheap and over all very good, maybe some pastry would be nice.

Nice place, quite well-situated as it's next to Westbahnhof station and so metro travel into the city centre is made easy. You could also walk along Mariahilfer Str. and do some shopping if that's your thing. Staff are very friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and you must use your card two times to get to your room, and again to access your locker. Thumbs up for security! The bar has quite a cool atmosphere and friendly bartenders, as well as a 1 euro-activated pool table.

Very well located. We had a six bed dorm for the six of us so we had our own bath which was very nice. The place was very clean, beds comfortable and even though we were older than most hostel guests, it worked out great for us. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful.

I was really pleased about this hostel. Nice staff and one really big plus: They have a guest shower if you arrive very early (for example at 8 am like me) and the room is not prepared. This was a really big plus and I`ve not seen it before. Thank you!

Great hostel! Not the right place to be if you want to chill out on a quit place, though.. the common room gets completely crowded in the evenings! :s Even then, would definitely recommend the hostel for its excellent location, lovely staff, great value for money breakfast. Facilities were nice, clean and stylish! Had a very nice stay there :)

The location is good and the lounge area very pleasant. The all you can eat breakfast has a great value of 3.60 euros and they even recommend to pack your sandwiches for the rest of the day. Only bad point is that there is no wifi on the bedroom, but I guess it's a strategy to force people to come to the lounge.

A little noisy at night when the drunk people come back to the hostel. The rooms and ensuite washroom are the best of any hostel I have stayed in. Nice firm mattress and very very nice/helpful staff. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

the knowledge-level on local sites/services/specifics amongst the staff is greatly different, depending on the actual person at the reception

Hey Christoph, thanx for your feedback! We had new receptionists starting to work beginning of May for high season support. Of course they're not yet THAT perfectly trained and have that much knowledge about sights etc.. as the "old" ones, but they will soon :)! Thanx for understanding and come back at the end of summer to see how the new ones got better and better ;)! All the best Kerstin
