One of the most horrible hotel in Europe
The rooms are small. Extremely disgusting. Everything smells like pee. The prices are non sense. Do not book this hotel. It is more like hostel. The only good thing was the German guy for the evening shifts: friendly, knowledgable, nice.

I would not recommend this hotel. It is not worth it even the cheap price. It was dirty, it’s old, the walls are dirty, the beds are so uncomfortable and the springs hurt your back, the toilet and shower are so smelly it’s beyond disgusting. It was that disgusting that we actually go to the close McDonalds just to use their toilet!

Its NOT a hotel In any way, shape or form. It is a Hostel, it is noisy, crowded and dirty. The matresses in our room were heavily soiled with dark brown stains (several on each) people spit In the lift, wiped nose waste on the walls beside the beds, room smells and the area surrounding the hotel is full of homeless people and groups of men drinking and there are no bathrooms for them....you can guess the rest! My wire refused to leave the room at night!

This is not a hotel but a more expensive hostel. The room is not made up and it does not have basic facilities like tea, coffee and water boiler. The hotel is near the road and there lots of vehicles pass by. The only thing good is the room is big and it is near the metro

The hostel was cheap enough, and clean enough, but I wouldn't stay there again. For a short stay in Vienna, it would be better to be more IN the city centre. I thought this hostel would be close enough, but it was in more of an old/tired urban area. The games room had pool & fusbal, but you had to pay for them. I was hoping for some board games, etc. And the self-cook kitchen only had a microwave and kettle, no sink or cooktop or toaster. If you're thinking about actually cooking for yourself/your family, it would be tricky.

Room was basic but clean. Breakfast was a very good deal at 7.90 euros. the choice and quality was high. The staff were very helpful. I forgot to print off vouchers for a concert.
