The Hostel Ruthensteiner of today has grown and developed over many many years of labor & love.. The apartment building that now houses the hostel was built in the 1840s – in 1960, when the Ruthensteiner Family purchased the building, the facade still carried the scars left behind by the bomb attacks of World War II. Then in 1968 our Hostel opened as the first independent backpacker’s hostel in Vienna and probably one of the first few in all of Europe. Over the years the garden furniture as well as the cherrywood bar and the oversized chess and backgammon sets in the garden were created in our own workshop. Some time ago, the Ruthensteiner Family passed the hostel on to me. Seeing as I and my team have all been working at the hostel for many years, growing up in an environment where friendliness and creativity are upheld above all else it is no wonder that this wonderful place and our staff & guest with it is still flourishing with new ideas & lot's of love. Next to all the artwork & music instruments already existing in the common areas we are working together with local artists to create new art for our rooms as well and will also feature a artshop at the reception soon.
