Vienna Homestays

With my friend, we were supposed to sleep in a mixed bedroom with 8 beds, but from the COVID we stayed only in a four-bedroom, so pleasant surprise! We had everything we needed there and the staff at the reception were nice and answered all our questions gently. The only negative point would be the location that is not very close to the tourist centre, but we get there by walking a little.

I was supposed to stay at this hostel for 4 night, but I left 1 day earlier because I couldn’t stay at this hostel anymore. I was in room number 212 , the bed they gave me was bed number 1, but the sheets were super dirty and the cushion smelled like a scalp. I told it to the receptionists and they told me they change it everyday, which obviously is a lie. They told me to change the bed to bed number 3, which was also not washed and the bed cushion literally smells like 2-3 different people’s scalp 🤡. The bathroom was even worse , it’s a literal horror show. I am not even exaggerating. I made a video of the bathroom , and you can see it wasn’t cleaned for at least a week. The toiled had a poo stain on it, so I had to clean it before using 🥲. The whole hostel looks like it hasn’t been cleaned for at leasr 2 months. If you don’t want to sleep in the same bedsheet few strangers slept and a bathroom that’s been used by multiple people without being cleaned , do not choose this hostel ! Also their doors do not cancel any noise, you can very clearly hear your roommate’s doing number 2 or 1💀. Also everything that’s happening in the corridor can be heard very loud and because of that I didn’t get a proper sleep during these 3 nights. I don’t understand how this place is still operating and has this many positive reviews… Even though I asked 3 times if they can change my bedsheet, the receptionists didn’t care and the Middle eastern reception literally said “ so?! What do you want me to do” in a rude way 🙃… Also it’s in a very sketchy part of the city and really far from everything. You can see reviews on Tripadvisor of other people who had the same experience as I did. My whole experience of Vienna was ruined because of this disgusting hostel and I don’t want other people to have the same experience. You can check the videos I posted on Google.

Friendly staff when checking in and convenient location to the main train station. Was very busy so I felt safe as a solo traveller and there is some food and coffee available for a good price by reception. The rooms were basic but good, only downside was as I stayed in the summer it was very hot and the rooms have no fan or a.c. but for the price I would stay again!

Acceptable, but only for cold months like fall and winter. The room has basic things and is clean for a short stay. However, during summer it is very hot! No aircon and need to open the window which still cannot circulate enough and even bring so much noise. Won’t recommend for hot months. Also the bed is not comfortable at all, hope they put a better one. Location is not in the city center, but is ok as there is multiple tram or metro or bus within 5 minutes walk. Also there is affordable cafe or eateries, and even a shopping mall within 5 minutes walk. I may consider in future but only for cold months that can keep the windows closed.

Excellent location (metro station entance 20mt) excellent, kind, helpfull, friendly staff (special thanks for them) very very clean rooms. For this price range best place ever

My wife and I were at this wonderful hotel from about late June to early July and stayed on and off for almost two weeks. Each room has excellent air conditioning and quite comfortable if not somewhat low, beds. They are single beds put together which was fine for the two if us. Americans would have to get used to the small bathroom common in Europe overall and the shower is a tight space but strong water pressure. My only criticism was a lack of storage space. This is the rare pension that doesn’t serve breakfast however the location is amazing. In five minutes you hit Zanoli and Zanoli which opens at 7. Their breakfasts are fabulous. And later in the day go back for dessert. You’re very close to St Stephens Square and the height of tourism but there are so many superb Viennese restaurants all within walking distance. The staff is great very friendly and knowledgeable. For us it was a home away from home. We are likely to return.

Great hostel not far from the main train station, but a bit of a walk to the main sites. Great evening social activities.  Can be noisy in the evenings with lots of school trips but otherwise quiet location. Good food & very friendly helpful staff.

The room is very nice, very elegantly decorated. We love the fact that it is a walking distance to a lot of places we wanted to visit. Lots of restaurants nearby. We also love our room that we can just look outside our window and just people watch. The only thing I didn't like is that we have to go downstairs to get our coffee and or tea and we have to pay for it. No free coffee?! This is supposed to be Vienna and is famous for their great coffee but aside from that, a very good experience.

The location of the hotel is very good, diagonally opposite to the State Opera House, about 400 meters walk to the Golden Hall, close to the Mozart Cafe, the transportation is very convenient, about 100 meters to the subway station, the price is also good 👍 service attitude is very good 👍 If I have the opportunity to go again, I will choose this hotel
