Located in Vienna and within 1 km of Wiener Stadthalle, Vienna Boutique - Premium Hostel features a shared lounge, allergy-free rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is situated 2.4 km from Vienna City Hall, 1.9 km from Kunsthistorisches Museum and 3 km from Vienna Volksgarten. The property is non-smoking and is set less than 1 km from Wien Westbahnhof Railway Station.

It is very clean, the stuff is friendly and the hostel has a warm, homey atmosphere in general. Even if we arrived before the checkin, we received our room and after the checkout we were able to leave our baggage at the baggage lockers (which i think is a very useful facility especially if your flight is in the evening, as it was ours). You have free water, coffee and tea in the common living room.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
