Liked: It had such a great charm to it. The hostel is really cozy and the common rooms were great for conversation. There were always tons of really nice people there. They also played some good music!

Disliked: The internet isn't all that great if you aren't using the internet room, which costs 2 euro/45 minutes

Liked: I really enjoyed my stay here, particularly I liked the bar and common areas - it's great to have somewhere sociable to meet people - so many places I've found lack this. It was great to have a kitchen too! Staff were friendly, the place was really clean, no complaints!

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: I found the location to be very nice. They are close to Westbahnhof which makes seeing the city very easy. The staff was great, very helpful and informative. My stay here was very comfortable and enjoyable.

Disliked: I didn’t really dislike anything. The only possible inconvenience is that the hostel is co-friendly, so the showers are timed to go off every 15 seconds.

Liked: Fantastic staff, incredibly helpful and friendly. Impressive accommodations.

07 February 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, great atmosphere. Very clean and cosy, and had recycling in the kitchen. Lots of space to hang around and meet people. Excellent location

Disliked: Our room (3 bed) was very narrow. Enviro-friendly showers turned off every 15secs, lights in bathrooms about every 3 mins. We weren't told about their free tours at all. Computers with internet were rather isolated.

17 January 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Nice happy hour! Lockers in room are awesome size and great for confidence in security of stuff.

Disliked: I booked a 6 person all female room and walked into a room with two dudes in it. I was pretty disapointed that my reservation was not kept, as I am not a fan of snoring guys in the middle of the night.

09 January 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Nice common rooms (bar, lounge, kitchen). Good & cheap breakfast. The reception is open 24 hours. Good information about bars & clubs (from the staff). Wlan is free of charge and can be received in the room with good connectivity. Parking is free of charge around the hostel.

Disliked: Very loud and clairaudient (the cleaning lady handled directly in front of our door from 8 a.m. on). You can hear the people talking next door. Constantly popping doors. Shower and 2-bed rooms are quite small.

Liked: EVERYTHING!!! It's an awesome place to stay in Vienna and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Disliked: The fridge cleaning rules =)

05 January 2011 Carolyn would recommend this property

Liked: I felt that the whole hostel was designed to make a person's stay enjoyable and convenient. Everything was clearly labelled with directions and if you thought 'what I need now is.....' it was there! It is in a quiet location and the guests are urged to consider others. The hostel was beautifully clean and I especially liked the sealed pack of sheets so you knew they were clean. The rooms were quite spacious and there was a decent distance between beds in the dorms. Absolutely firat class and the best place I've stayed in, reasonable price too.

Disliked: I hyonestly can't think of anything.

05 January 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great atmosphere in the common area, love the instruments. Nice big rooms and everyone gets a key which was really handy. Everything was kept extremely clean, even over Christmas! Had a great time here, was nice to have somewhere comfortable to come back to after a day/night on the town, which is, by the way, right around the corner!

Disliked: Not all that much, apart from the staff. who at times got information wrong regarding opening times of museums/ bus times etc. I recommend doing it yourself. Internet was pricey- 2 euro for 45 minutes, better to use the cafe around the corner!

01 January 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I like this hostel a lot, beautifully decorated with style.. Helpful staff is highly appreciated!

Disliked: The bathroom in a shared room does not have good sound proof.. Whenever people wash at night or in the morning, it is a bit irritating.. And the shower, you have to press the button continuously. The internet Wifi is not stable. The kitchen and bar close so earlyyy... And nothing else!!! Good for a break!

30 December 2010 ANITA would recommend this property

Liked: They hv everything, fr dorm beds, to nice common room, dining room, laundry room, kitchen, musical instruments....but they forgot to put a TV in the common room!!!

Disliked: This hostel is over crowded. If you want privacy and no noise, go else where. There is only 1 kitchen, and it is too small for the big number of guests staying there. I was there for 3 nights, and on Christmas eve, there were like 20 ppl cooking in the kitchen at the same time (plus many more waiting outside for their turn to cook since all restaurants hv closed their business). The rate is not inclusive of breakfast. Location is too far from the Ring. You will need to take the public transportation, or fast walking for 30mins just to reach the ring (and not to explore whats inside it).
