Hostelworld says
Hostelworld guests have said MEININGER Vienna Downtown Franz has an ?atmosphere more like a hotel - very clean, calm, and secure?, with the ?facilities and cleanliness of a hotel, but the social aspect of a hostel?. It?s located just a short walk away from the Schottering U-bahn station which connects quickly to the city centre, and is surrounded by restaurants and cafes. We like that this hostel is pet-friendly and served an easy-on-the-budget all-you-can-eat breakfast.
Property Description
Welcome to MEININGER Hotel Vienna Downtown Franz
The MEININGER Hotel Vienna Downtown Franz is located in lively Leopoldstadt, Vienna's second district, between the Danube Canal and the Danube. Here, in the former Jewish quarter and one of the town's most popular areas, you can find ample green spaces and the Karmeliter Market with numerous stalls, cafes and restaurants that offer dishes from around the world in addition to local treats. The colourful life of the quarter has its effect on the surrounding alleys with their great number of artists' workshops, ancient perfume stores and various curiosities.
Those who wish to visit the Vienna Hofburg, the Sisi Museum, Schonbrunn Palace and the Prater, or see 'the Kiss' by Gustav Klimt, will be happy to find great public transport links. The Schottenring is right around the corner. From there you can catch the U2, the U4, trams 1, 2 and 31 and no fewer than nine bus lines.
The hotel is located in a modern, straight-edged, fair-faced concrete building. All 131 non-smoking rooms have modern furnishings kept in a clear-cut design. Each room includes a shower/toilet, a flat-screen TV and a hair dryer, and individual stylistic elements radiate Viennese charm. You sleep in single, double, multi-bed rooms or dorms. Bed linen is always included.
Need to store your luggage? We've got you covered. Individual travelers can access luggage storage for a small fee, while it's completely free for groups.

More of a hotel than a hostel, very commercialised, hard to meet people, but if that’s not your thing it’s not a bad place to stay, not close to the city centre

Don’t stay here unless your a German high school group. This place was home to a whole school group of Germans & old people living in. We had a 4 bed room which is basically a hotel room that you’re sharing with others, including the bathroom. YES it is true, there is a double bed with 2 duvets so you will most likely sleep next to a stranger ! Our room/bathroom was not cleaned during our stay I had to inform the reception. Kitchen is horrible with no pans and one huge pot, can barely cook pasta
