Nice and clear place with very kind staff and best breakfast I've ever eaten in a hostel. Really close to the city center. I recommend.
I booked a dorm room here for 5 nights and paid only for 3 nights on arrival. My intention was that if I was happy with my stay for 3 nights I would stay and pay for the remaining 2 nights. I was 'tricked' by reception staff to stay 2nd and 3rd night because they were going to change my room as it was cold and stuffy. They never did. The card system for door entry should not be used by the receptionists to lock people out of their rooms, as they did with me (at least three times during my stay)and fellow room mates in my room. They did this so that you have to report to reception to correct the problem so that they could see when you arrive at the hostel. It’s a shame that all the great facilities of clean rooms and great breakfast at the hostel were entirely wasted because the receptionists at this hostel have no clue and could easily be replaced with chimpanzees that would certainly do a better job at handling guests staying there. Treat this place like a HOTEL not a hostel i.e. do not try and be friendly with any other guest there because the receptionist will see you and treat this with sordid suspicion. Be equally challenging to the staff if they give you derisory looks. A beautiful city of Vienna spoilt by the sh** receptionists at this hostel. The hotel/hostel chain should be ashamed of my treatment there at Vienna.
