Review: Really good staff, really fun and close to Westbahnhof. Good location. Cheap comfortable, but early closing hours for backyard and common room!

Review: Nice little hostel. We stayed here twice and the first time in a smaller room so that was a lot nicer than the second time when we were separated into same-sex dorms with not quite as nice beds but still comfortable. Kitchen is very small but it was nice to have! And the bathrooms were clean with lockers for all beds in the hostel. Breakfast not included and very overpriced considering all the food stores close by. Central to everything Vienna has to offer.

Review: This is probably one of the cleanest hostels I stayed in while I was in Europe. They have people who clean it everyday. Overall, our stay was enjoyable. My only complaint would be that you can't stay outside in the courtyard after 22:00 or so because the neighbors complain about the noise. If you want to stay in a hostel that is party friendly this might not be the one for you.

Review: Very clean, very comfortable, very friendly people, working there and staying there. I would definately recommend this hostel to others, especially people travelling alone. It's close to the train station and walking distance to the centre of Vienna.

Review: Was 4 minutes walk from the train station which was perfect for a late night arrival. Was clean, friendly, had an awesome beer garden, nice spacious rooms and a someone that resembled Miss World manning the reception desk when I arrived. One of the best hostels I've stayed in.

Review: I stayed in the annex. There is a basic beer garden so we just bought beers (coupled with the spirits we had brought from Prague) and played drinking games all night. You can't avoid the beer garden so you HAVE to speak to people - this is the way a hostel should be! The rooms are great but no one cares about that. The cold beers at the hostel were quite cheap too...

Review: Clean and civilised, lovely courtyard to sit around in with a giant chess set!

Review: Nice common room. Also, the little snack bar was convenient. Internet access, reasonable showers, relatively close to what you'll want to see. I would stay again.

Review: I also stayed at the annex. We flew into town and had no place to sleep. We called around 11 am and dropped off our bags shortly thereafter. Nice having the key. We cooked spaghetti for a cheap meal. Since we flew into town we went to sleep early (10 pm) and only had a few beers at a nearby pub.

Review: Nice clean place close to the train station. Kitchen is small but better than nothing. Very friendly and helpful.

Review: I stayed in their annex building, one block away from the main hostel. I didn't see the rooms in the main hostel, but I would definitely say to request the annex. It was great. You get a key to the main building, so you can come and go at any time of day or night. The room I stayed in had 8 beds, but was spacious and airy. Big windows, nice wood floors, kind of IKEA-ish. Nice big lockers too. There is a kitchen(no fridge though) so you can make your own meals(and a grocery store a few blocks away), a shower and sink, and the toilets are just outside the door, in the hallway. Everything is more or less clean, the people working there are nice, there's also an outdoor sitting area/patio. It's only a few blocks away from the train station, and metro/tram connections. And the best part....the price. At 12,50 euros, the best deal I had my whole trip.
