    There were no eggs or pancakes for breakfast, so it seemed a bit not worth the price. 2 euros if you need the towel. Quite far from the center.

    Clean, calm, not expensive, in the middle of nature, on the top of the hill with nice views.

    The look and feel of the hostel is very aseptic. Good for an overnight stay but not for a long-term stay.

    The view was great from the location and the rooms had plenty of space.

    The only downside was the small shower with a curtain and the fact that towels cost €2 (and required leaving an ID as a deposit). However, considering the price, having a private bathroom was still a big plus.

    The room was lovely with a beautiful view. The shared kitchen was clean and well-equipped, and having free coffee and a kettle available made the mornings so much better. The staff was very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

    • Bed in 4-Bed Female Dormitory Room

    The ventilation was quite loud in the bathroom (it starts automatically when the bathroom switch is on), so I would imagine it will be a bit challenging to sleep while other people in the room visit the loo during the night.

    The view was amazing from my room, the garden and nearby park are beautiful, quiet and fresh. The view over Vienna is stunning both at night and during the day. The staff was super friendly and helpful! <3 My room and the bathroom were clean, the bunk bed was perfect (I am 1,83 so I could easily fit), and the mattress was just right, not too soft or too hard. The location is a bit remote (it takes about 30 mins to the city center by public transport), but it's perfect for those who would like to escape the noise and the hassle of the city for the evening and night.

    I was in a 4 bed initially by myself but they have people checking in at 1am every night, not so great for my already poor sleep quality.

    Very beautiful location, looks down at downtown Vienna, good value and clean, has a bus stop right next to the hostel.

    We received bed sheets at the reception, and we had to make the beds ourself, but I gues this is the way in the hostel system. Very small room, but clean.

    Nice location, nice personel. Clean location. Old furniture but clean.

    Small shower-but new shower curtain and although small-clean bathroom, but the biggest negative grade goes to the wi-fi, it”s works only like up to 5 meters from the front desk.

    I”ve read some negative reviews from 5 years ago about this property, I don”t know how it was then, but right now the place is good-it”s clean, warm, nice view, walking in nature possibilities, connected to the city centar by public transport, helpful front-desk employees…

    It's not very convenient to come by public transport. There is a bus stop in front of the hostel but I couldn't use it since I landed at midnight. I ended up spending the night at the airport. There is a kitchen without a stove so it's not easy to cook.

    It's very clean and green. The hostel is next to the forest so it's good for hikers. The staff are very nice and friendly.

    The hostel is right next to a hotel (run by the same group, I understand), which hotel reminded me of a museum, so I thought I had the wrong address for a moment (the hostel is past the hotel). I came by car, and there was free parking. During the day there was plenty of parking, but in the evening, it started to fill up. It is somewhat out of the way, but there is a bus line that takes you down to the tram and metros - but factor in the extra time. There are not a lot of shops in the area, but if you make it down to the areas of the trams, then you can find some. I recommend coming with sufficient food and drink. I was looking for quiet isolation to do some work, and for this it was great, with some good views thrown in.
