We loved Hostel Ruthensteiner! Excellent facilities including kitchen, laundrette, and lovely little touches by staff such as free lemonade and a “pay what you wish” dinner several evenings a week! Rooms were also nice, card-access only, and each bunk has an assigned locker which their key card opened and locked. Two relaxing courtyards to sit out in and enjoy the lovely weather!

Great hostel

Reviewed By Jkk193

Great stay. Lots of activities such as quiz night and walking tours. Kitchen and communal areas were amazing. Staff were really helpful. Good location. Close to metro and lots of other areas to walk round. We had our own bathroom in our room but between 6 this wasn't really enough. Would be nice if there were extra toilets or something on the same floor.

a&o Vienna Stadthalle

If you think the outside’s impressive, just wait till you step through the front door. This modern a&o is equipped with everything you need for your city trip: 109 single, double, and family rooms as well as multi-bed dorms, tabletop football and a billiards table, a reading corner and a Kids’ Corner, a meeting room, and a well-stocked bar with snacks. The city center and the Mariahilferstraße shopping street are in the immediate vicinity. And we’ve saved the best for last: a lovely courtyard garden with benches and sunshades.

Clean and comfortable

Reviewed By helen b

Friendly team members. Bathroom a bit small but was functional. Limited seating in the communal area. Clearly updating furniture but this was left in packaging and reduced the ability to spend time there.

Do Step Inn

The Do Step Inn is situated right in the heart of Vienna. With our location behind the Westbahnhof train station you have perfect connections to reach us by underground, tram, airport bus or regional trains. Our house is both Hotel and Hostel which means we offer the comfort of cosy rooms with private bathroom but also the opportunity to go low budget and stay in one of the private Hostel rooms or dorms. Our guests especially love our big common areas like the spacious guest kitchen, our free billiard room, the garden and the little house bar as well as the free Wifi provided in the building.

best price to quality ratio for a backpackers hostel

Reviewed By RichardVanEgas

if you are a "bang for the buck" guest when looking for a hotel/hostel ... This is your place... Probably, one of the most, if not the cleanest INN , I have ever slept.... It is a rainy season and I complained about odors and stinky smells in our locked dormitory.... PROBLEM was solved next morning and for the remainder of my existence there.... No problem, anymore.... my only drawback here, was the shared kitchen.... during peak hours was crowded, and some SL@VS were harassing, bullying or monopolizing the whole facility... PEW!!! WTF!! Nobody is perfect! I would be back if not for the fact and food aside.... I did not like VIENNA (Wien) city seemed to me like a B@n@n@ republic capital or any city in a COLD WAR country losing that war ... Some areas looked quite 4th world to me .... Sidewalks plenty of cracks and loopholes .... Ponds are easy with rains and lethal traps during winter snow.... dog and human p00p is not uncommon on the streets.... Museums, Castles, Gardens and Palaces are 1st world class, yet..... FOOD: I could die in Österreich eating all national food they serve..... TOP NOTCH in my book!!! WARNING: casual relationships with a fvck bvddy or your legal couple are STRICTLY forbidden in dorms.... If you are with a partner or you plan to hire a c@ll g¡rl/hvstler.... You must rent a private room

A&T Holiday Hostel

The newly opened a&t Holiday Hostel is one of the most modern youth hostels in Vienna with a fantastic location and excellent public transport links. This means fast access to the city’s historical sites. St Stephen’s cathedral, for example, is just only 11 minutes from the hostel. The building has been newly constructed and provides ample space with its large rooms which contain between two and a maximum of six beds. Two elevators mean you can access even the top floor quickly and easily and all rooms are equipped with WC, shower, washbasin, reading lamps and lockers. If you have any valuables which are especially precious, these can be kept in the safe at reception. Our facilities: - free WiFi in lobby, breakfast room and the bar - Western-style bar - 24/7 reception - loundry - garage in the house By the way, we also have an entire floor reserved just for women! By choosing to stay at the a&t Holiday Hostel your holiday in Vienna will be more relaxed and less complicated than anywhere else because with us, you are in good hands. Come stay with us, you won’t be disappointed! ;-)

Good.

Reviewed By ignazioecf

A good option for a city like Vienna. The premises are not centrally located, but easily accessible with public transportation (8 minutes walking to the nearest metro station). The neighbourhood is quiet and there's plenty of places where to grab a bite or supermarkets to buy food. The facilities are fine, nothing special but everything is clean and works well.

Do Step Inn Central

Tired of queuing for check-in? Why not do it yourself: We are one of Europe’s first self-check-in hostels located in one of the best areas of Vienna. With a 2 minutes’ walk from the central train station Hauptbahnhof we offer direct connections from and to the airport as well as the international train system. Taking a little stroll, you are right in the old town and the historic centre of Vienna as well as the Belvedere castle. All our dorm beds can be locked completely and thereby offer a whole lot more privacy and security. If you rather feel like chatting away, the bed can be left open and used like a normal bunk. Enjoy some fun time in our spacious common area, use our free WiFi and prepare your own dinner in our common kitchen area. Best thing, we are a family owned hostel and with only 19 rooms it stays homely and comfortable.

Quite upsetting experience

Reviewed By dorism794

+ Price Convenient location next to the train station+subway - Bed sheets are too small for the bed Still no blinds (=light from the street in the room) Check in process is time consuming on the phone, some information could be asked for during the booking. Especially the ID-picture upload isn't reliable Poor bed materasses Too less showers/toilets despite the hostel not being full at all The most upsetting point is that during our 3 days stay, we never saw anyone at the reception, despite some opening times displayed. So you can't ask for advice or an extra blanket. Online check-in can be great when it's well designed (like Citizen M) but itiabsolutaly isn't the case here.

Reviewed By AlenaBahrain

A great place for groups in a money saving mode. Yes, bunk beds, shared bathrooms, small rooms. But clean and friendly. The place has its own garden, dinner and breakfast were generous and once you decide to ride a tram or a bus, you do not need to worry about not staying right at the city centre. Spar across the street, Lidl not too far either, restaurants available, too.

Are they RETARDET?
