My friend and I had a beautiful apartment with our own private garden for a very reasonable price. There were people of all ages and from many countries meeting one another at breakfast, in the lounge or bar and in the computer room. The atmosphere was quiet, friendly and gracious. Location was extremely convenient to public transportation or an easy... More

I will not explain to much because others already do :) Just try and you will find a great place to stay and close to train station and Vienna main road..Mariahilf street.. Maybe for breakfast - a little bit too expensive but of course you can cook and do anything for your self if you want :)

Three of us stayed in the ensuite private apartment and it was fantastic! Hardwood floors throughout, small kitchen, private balcony, and very bright! This far exceeded our expectations, especially for the very reasonable price of 24 euros each. Apart from that, the staff are very friendly and the whole hostel has a bright, tidy atmosphere. I can't comment on the... More

Four years ago it was my first hostel I have ever stayed in. After that time I came back to see what changed because my first stay here was terrible... I paid a high price for a small room and I could hear all drunk people outside yelling. This time it was way better but f.e. the staff didn't want... More

One of the best hostels I have been to. The facilities are nice and clean with the nowadays standard free wifi and all. But what sets this apart is the staff who will go out of their way to help you. The friendly guy at the counter saved me some money in taxi charges by searching and finding the correct... More

We had a 4 bed bunk room for our family of four. The room was cozy, clean, and comforatble. The shard kitchen was clean and well supplied. The staff was helpful and friendly. Easy getting around from the nearby train and subway station. Excellent! The kids played a few games, outdoor chess and games from the closet. We loved the... More

Hostel Ruthensteiner has just about everything that makes for a really great Hostel experience. This is first and foremost because of it's owners - who are a particularly warm and welcoming couple - and because of their fantastic staff who are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and extremely available to the guests. I had a particularly complicated issue while I was in... More

There are several supermarkets around the hostel which is really convenient. And it takes only seven minutes from westbahnhof to hostel. They have big kitchen, bar and free food. It's a place with everything you need!! And the proe is acceptable. Each night 17eu per person.

This is a very nice hostel in a great location. Lots of trams and buses nearly, and the Westbahnhof. I stayed four nights. The room had six beds and a bathroom. I only had breakfast one day. Continental, for €2.50 I think. Not bad. The bar was great. Beer for €2.90 (only €2 during happy hour, 19:00-20:00), and friendly bartenders.... More
