Liked: Nice place, great because they had free breakfast, a lounge area that was great for meeting people.

Disliked: The staff weren't always helpful, for example, the internet wasn't working but they were not overly patient in helping me out. Also didn't have towels which I found surprising (not even for rental). A little bit out of the way in terms of walking, but close enough by metro.

Liked: It was a clean spot, and the staff were incredibly helpful.

Disliked: To get to the main parts of Vienna, you have to take transit, but the Vienna Transit system is very quick and efficient so it wasn't too big of a deal.

Liked: The hostel was fairly close to the subway, so although its not in the city centre, its very easy to get there. There are also a number of cafes, restaurants, and shops close by if you're looking for a low key afternoon. The staff were very friendly as well.

Disliked: In the 6 bed dorm I stayed in, there was blood on the wall and the underside of the mattress, and the room was otherwise rather dirty. The hostel houses alot of people, so do not expect alot of mingleing between rooms, etc. Its basically a bed to sleep in and that's it. The internet and washing were overpriced and they also charge extra for rooms on weekends. Definitely not worth the price you pay for the quality of the hostel.

Liked: Clean & tidy. Nicely decorated, modern furniture.

Disliked: The breakfast could be richer. There is strange price policy (different prices on the hostel page and different prices that they suggest when answering yout email as if they tell you the price depending on the mood they're in :D) and evident contradictions between the prices on HostelBookers and hostel itself.

Liked: the colours! (all walls were green when we were there!) nice breakfast, all-you-can-eat, helpful staff, English speaking, lift to upper floors, clean beds and bathroom with hot water and good facilities.

Disliked: a bit of a walk from the u-bahn, would be ok if you don't have luggage but with suitcases was rather a long way!
