On the first night we had troubles sleeping because of a bunch of drunk people standing right in front of our door.

Only stayed for one night because it was a stopover for us, but the staff was amazingly helpful and the hostel was SO CLEAN! The bar downstairs is a little pricey, but had a good atmosphere and was perfect for us since we didn't want to go out. The staff recommended a really good Austrian restaurant right down the street that was very good. Only downfall is there was only Wifi in the lounge, kind of annoying to keep running up and down just to get some Internet connection.

As any Wombats hostel, this one has very comfortable rooms with own bathroom. All beds are very comfortable and have own lighter and power socket. Stuff is friendly and helpful. Location is really good. There is really big shared area at first floor with projector, so you can watch football, etc. There is also bar. You really feel like everything has been made by travelers for travelers.

The only thing I didn't like at all were the other guests who made a lot of noise at about 1 am! Very antisocial!

The security is good. F..e: You can only enter your fllor with your room card. The acceess to other floors is impossible. BUT: Two times we woke up because the fire alarm was in action. Both times, it was caused by a defect toaster. I noticed, that he guests stayed in their rooms and nea nobody left his room and tried to get outside to be secure. Even the staff.. One staffmember cleaned a floor and said: "It's the toaster again". I think it's dramatic, if the fire alarm is not taken seriously!

Very clean, organized and safe. Great all you can eat breakfast for 4,80 euros. Big kitchen if you want to cook. Room was very spacious with a nice bathroom and big lockers. Staff was unbelievable helpful and nice. Special thanks for everything! =) The bar/lounge in the basement was very nice, not crowded nor empty. Good price drinks and games (pool, foosball). I would definitely stay there again. Totally recommend it!!!!

I loved it here!! The staff was so great and very willing to help us with ANYTHING we needed (Fabian was my favorite). They were very laid back and you could tell they really liked their jobs. The common area was super neat and easy to meet people if you wanted to, or just take some quiet time to yourself. Location's great too, it's possible to walk almost everywhere. We got a metro day-pass though because we wanted to maximize our time which was nice because the hostel's right near the station.

It's a little bit noisy during night but overall it's ok for me. you can not use internet in the rooms so it is a little bit inconvenient.

One of the best hostel I have stayed at. at It was a bit commercial in feel but the friendly staff and the bar downstairs helped give the place a nice character overall. The rooms were clean and furniture was excellent ! Located right next door to the main train station.

Great Hostel....extremely convenient if looking to be by the train station. We stayed as a family and looked to introduce our children to the benefits of a Hostel. Wombat's ROCKED!

The hostel is really big so it was a little difficult to meet people, but it has a cool bar downstairs and a great kitchen. Its a little out of the city centre but very close to the metro station and main train station, which was really handy. The staff were amazing! Would definitely recommend.

Nice and quite well connected Hostel near Vienna Westbahnhof. Breakfast buffet at 3,80€ is well worth the money. When we were there we had many German school classes staying with us - quite noisy and annoying in the morning ;)

This constitutes parts of my beautiful memory of trip to Vienna. Nice staff(I remember the guy on duty at one night looking for the " stinky fish " that smelled and that's really add extra points to its cleanliness. Good location right beside westbahnoff the train station and also metro 3,6. It has a public area where you can rest lying, using public computers, reading, biliading or whatever at the docking place. Everything's excellent except for the poor wifi router which I couldn't use in room
