    Everything is good. But it is quite expensive compared to the prices of neighboring countries. But compared to the prices in Vienna, it's not bad.

    its an old building renovated as a hostel: so dont expect any boutique design or furniture.

    The place is clean, shower water hot and plus you have free tea and cake in the morning! Staff is helpful Close to a large shopping and restaurant avenue Value for money in Wien

    Location is a bit far away from cory centre and it would have been better if they had lockers with key.

    Staffs and people are nice. I could get closer with other guest in the same room!

    The hostel doesn't offer sockets to charge your phone next to te beds :((( It's very uncomfortable - if you want to set an alarm to wake up, you have leave your phone on the other side of the room and of course wake everybody else up while turning it off in the morning. The elevator doesn't work beetween 22:00 - 06:00 so if you carry a heavy luggage and you check in or out during those houres prepare for a workout to get to the 4th floor. Also, the ventilation (aeration) of the rooms isn't very good - it gets stuffy and smelly.

    The hostel was clean, the locaton very good - just 3/4 minutes from the subway station. Very nice staff.

    Remember to have a power bank if you want to use your phone in bed. It's not a downside, just something to keep in mind

    Reading the review, I was afraid of staying at this hostel, but I was pleasantly surprised. The room was very clean, and the staff were very helpful.

    No plugs next to the beds made it difficult to leave my phones overnight to charge, to have battery for taking photos during visiting various places. Even the plugs next to the door and the extensions were limited. No lift/elevator usage between 22:00 and 06:00 policy. Found it very weird and it particularly bothered me: coming back to the hostel after one full day and night of visiting and walking, I needed to go up the stairs until the 3rd floor and during my checkout, in the middle of the night, go down the staris with luggage.

    Very clean and very close to main attractions, markets and squares. Easy to get to the metro or bus station. The staff was very helpful and answered all of my questions. The rooms were clean, nice and warm, the bed was also comfortable. Good usage of space in the room.

    On each floor there was a "softclose" door to the staircase, but it was made so it banged the door really loud each time somebody left. We were trying to get some sleep, but there were people leaving since 7AM and it was impossible to sleep, because there was a loud bang about every 20 minutes.

    A distance from your bed to an electric port is 3-4 meters. It is very strange policy, but owner made so for purpose to prevent fires. Super inconvienient. You cannot cook.

    24 hours desk. Location is good. Place to spend spare time indoors and outside. Clean refrigirators. Free tea.

    The beds were ikea cheap like beds that felt like they were going to break apart and the mattress wasn’t that comfortable. Only 4 outlets for a dorm of 8 and they were on the floor, meaning you couldn’t charge your phone while sleeping. And the automatic light that turns on when the door opens, so late night arrivals and late night people would trigger the light.

    The 24hr reception, ok breakfast and price.

    The booking details need to be updated to reflect that breakfast is no longer offered since Covid. Also reminders that you must pay (and will be reimbursed when you you leave ) for towels and key cards.

    Easy access location to metro and others public transportation, appreciated the privacy family room with bathroom. Large room.

    Bathroom cleanliness could've been better. Also, as expected from the city centre location, it was quite noisy outside at night (just for future guests to be prepared)

    Beds provided more privacy than expected, location was amazing and staff was welcoming

    No plugs on each bed (we'd like to charge our gadgets in our respective beds). There's only one area in the room you can charge. Although, there are a lot of plugs in the lounge.

    Staff was very friendly and helpful, good location (near the airport), clean, big and spacious room. Hot shower. I also like the "no noise after 8pm" rule.

    Rooms and beds are not super comfortable, the whole place has that 'very old fashioned' hostel vibe, which is charming/funny in a way but it's also not the greatest stay ever. Still, in general it was fine.

    Helpful staff, professional, cheap, very conveniently located.

    definitely would not recommend if a solo traveller- not a very social atmosphere at all and meeting others isn’t really encouraged. as others have mentioned not enough charging points in 8 bed room. staff were okay and location is a bit out of it but doable. wouldn’t recommend

    nice enough place to use for sleeping I guess

    Perhaps, less pub and alcohool drinking and puting instead a kitchen with stoves, so people could cook and not just drink....
