    It is affordable as compared to other accommodation in Vienna. Easy check in and check out. It is also clean. It is only around 3-10mins to bus/train station.

    "Great room and easy access, but lacked napkins and had a small towel."

    I didn't like that there were no napkins at the sink or in the kitchen. We only had one towel each, which wasn't big enough.

    I liked the way the building and rooms were entered and exited with a code. I liked the room and I think it was good value for money. I honestly expected more sinks and toilets but it was okay.

    The doors of the bunk beds have some gaps when closed, so are partially transparent which isn't ideal for privacy.

    A 12€/night this hostel is a great value. Strategically located near train, bus and city transport hub it's also within (albeit a bit long) walking distance from touristic core of the city. Plenty of shopping options nearby too. The common area/kitchen is large enough and wasn't crowded during my visit.

    It was excellent! I need to confess I didn't have any expectation at first, but everything was fine, rooms, bathrooms, kitchen... I literally had the chance to do anything I wanted. Being able to close my bed window was so and so lovely.

    Beds with locks

    • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 4 nights

    - The bed can only be locked from outside. So you have to sleep in unlocked bed and if you accidentally lock yourself inside, you won't be able to get out without external help. - Towels are small but good quality. - Check out online is required after leaving the hostel (not sure if anything happens if you forget to do it).

    Beds are like giant lockers. You unlock them with the same QR with which you enter the hostel and your room. The bed wall have holes so you don't suffocate and still can hear your neighbor snoring ;)

    The private room I entered felt and smelled a bit musky which I solved by leaving the window open. This might be due to the fact that I was moved to this room at the last minute. I also do not like the window curtain/cover. You either have to keep it closed or have it totally open to the street. It's also not close to the center but there are many bus stops and stations around.

    Being one of the cheapest hostels in Vienna, it was better than expectations. Self check-in is very convenient. If you need a simple, clean and comfy stay this is a good place. No drunk or weird people around. The kitchen/dining/lounge downstairs is large and clean and could be a good place to work. There was an issue when I arrived, the dorm bed was not cleaned. The staff was quick to resolve this mix-up and they moved me a private room instead. The room was very spacious and the bed comfy. The wifi worked very well.

    Noisy neighbours upstairs all night, qr code reader works really slow and often doesn't want to accept the right qr code so you need multiple tries.

    We liked that the toilets and showers were always clean. The kitchen is well equiped.

    We were in room number 1 and it was too close to the entrance, so we heard everyone come and go, the stairs were especially loud, when people were stomping down. Also, as it was right next to the street, we couldn’t pull up the blinds, otherwise everyone could’ve been looking at us.

    Online check-in / check-out. QR code room key.

    Tissues being finished and sometimes people make the washroom dirty and they clean it!!! Thats the only bad thing about sharing the place with many people. And when you are in cold and you have fifty things in your hand and the QR code does not work 😭😭 that was hectic.

    I liked that we were a couple and we had a big double bed, not like other hostels where we had two beds. The QR code system was easy to access and you will not see any staff🤣 just you and your hostel mates. The location was around local neighborhood so if you are staying for long time you would like it.

    Maybe hostel can give slippers also for showering other than that i didn’t have any problems and i felt safe.

    It was comfortable and the system of hostel was quick and easy. The room that i stayed was really clean . Bathrooms and showers also were really clean . It is perfect for students it is a affordable hostel and it’s worthy. You can go to city center easily by train or walking if you prefer
