User Reviews

  • "A clean efficient hostel but definitely not for everyone"

  • This hostel is only for those who don't want to experience the nightlife of Vienna. If you like to go to bed early and get up early then this is definitely the place for you. The hostel mis-represented itself in advertising, it said it takes anyone, this is not true. It is only for families, school trips and people who like to get lots of sleep on holiday
  • "A very nice new hostel with improvements to be made to the service"

  • The hostel itself was lovely, brand new and basically felt like a travellodge or similar that you would get in the UK. The 5 bed dorm I was in was exceptionally clean as was the en-suite shower room, WC and bed linen. Breakfasts were lovely each morning. On the bad side though, when I checked in there was an error made and I was initially charged too much (double what I was expecting!) and it took most of the afternoon to sort it out. Staff were nice but not particularly concerned with sorting things out quickly and efficiently - the manager insisted in instructing a young member of staff to carry out the refund to my card when he could have done it in a quarter of the time. Also, I had booked into and paid for a minidorm for four people but ended up in a dorm with 5 in total (which again should have cost me less but didn't)

Going Out
Vienna has a booming nightlife scene. There are countless bars, pubs, venues and cafés that have popped up in recent years. The "Bermuda Triangle", the Spittelberg District and the Vienna Ring have grown to become some of the most popular locations for Viennese night owls. A plethora of clubs, bars and discos with various styles all make for a wild time. The free time paradise, Danube Island: there's a lot happening on "the island" as well. The bars, cafés and restaurants at Copa Cagrana have turned it into one of Vienna's favorite destinations, including 42 kilometers of sand and shingle beaches and meadows along the New Danube.
