    The room: No Window, moisty and old-style interior.

    Good location, very close to Westbanhof Wien. The apartment was in a quiet, calm area as well

    It is worth to stay there for a short time for tourism but not to take part in some busyness

    The preliminary instruction from the housewife in the e-mail is not detailed enough to explain the people who are not well acquainted with the locking door system operation. At the moment of arrival, I have no idea about the special box with locker weels hidden by the plastic window. This window should be dropped, and the weels for dialing the actual code will appear. On the other hand, some women guests can not open the door even having enough German to communicate with the housewife by telephone and even being known about this procedure later. There should be a special approach applied to the opening: one should pull the door hard and smoothly turn the key left simultaneously. There are no hooks or hangers on the walls at the entrance (where to keep coats in the wintertime?) as well as inside the rooms. The rooms are small to place something more than they have including clothes for living people but it seems that there is a partial solution to facilitate that for them: there is some free space on some walls to fix several hooks on them. So, there is no possibility to dry washed clothes except through heating racks in the room. Air conditioning is provided for rooms 2 and 3 but in room 1 the ventilation is natural and operates through the open window. There is no forced ventilation also in the common area (except for the shared toilet, of course). In this case, it takes some time to refresh the air after ironing.

    Good place for a destination to everywhere in Vienna. The kitchen and kitchenette are available. Iron and iron desk is available and they are in a good stay. There is also a refrigerator filled with free mineral water bottles. Coffe-machine with free coffee is provided. The housewife is an impressive lady, she speaks German only, but tries to help the guests and uses booking.com translation services to facilitate her communication with guests. Her telephone No is on WhatsUp. In case of providing the password to connect it is possible to contact her cheaply just by staying near the door. The ventilation system is rather nice but operates only in rooms No 2 and 3. It is clean throughout the premises. There is a washing machine for laundry. The heating system is autonomous and is in use for the whole year.

    Outer door key arrangment, it may happen one among the guest may go out with the key other guest may not inter inside, i propose the owner to make copy of the key for every guest. Also ventilation in the sitting room not good, despite ventilation inside the rooms are ok, because you can open the windows

    the lights were very dim in the windowless room I was situated in. Owner didn't communicate well when asked about the lights situation, which apparently another light source was hidden behind a mirror by the bed to access. Also, the "private bathroom" is a shower at the corner of the room, which the toilet + sink is shared among others outside, so that's very misleading.

    location was accessible.

    Worst Stay Ever in Vienna
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • King Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    Room had NO WINDOW (!). „Private Bathroom“ was a shower cubicle and sink right next to bed. Toilet was shared toilet in the hallway —> none of this was mentioned in room description. Room was moldy and felt like a prison cell. Ceiling light not working and whole place was noisy. Even for budget accommodation (234 € for 4 nights) this is not acceptable. Person who runs the place not willing to address issues or help in a constructive way. Left after one horrible night.

    Room has no window, it is so unpleasant feeiling. "Toilet in the room" is shower and washin basin in the same space as the bed.

    Location is good, close to West banhof station. Kitchen is shared one but nice.

    I didn't like a lot of things and this is the worst place I've stayed. I haven't seen the administrator in 4 days, but there should be a person who will solve some issues. When I called, I was answered very rudely, why don't I communicate in German? During these 4 days, nobody tidied in the room and in the common area, there was no place to store garbage, the trash can was full. garbage was simply piled on top of the dumpster. The fact that there are no windows and normal ventilation in the room is one thing, but when the staff got mad at the guests who came to a beautiful place. There was a flood in my room and I cleaned it myself. The kettle was standing with mold even before I moved in, I even sent a photo, but no one came for 4 days. on the last day of my stay, I saw a COCKROACH in the room. I'm not rocking this house.

    Not happy at all

    I booked 'private bathroom'. I got a shower cabin in my room and a shared toilet with other guests. There is no reception and no one to actually speak face to face. It's more of an AirBnB - with instructions how to get a key sent via an email. They key system is so bad - there is a box with a pin code outside with ONE key for all three rooms. Lucky that there was no issue with someone forgetting to leave it for others. And the lock was so difficult to use - I could barely open the door and so did the other guest. There was no air con in my room - only windows, which is fine for me, but not when I shower in the same room. It ended up so stuffy and unpleasant. Same after night, since the room is quite small. It was the only room with windows as well. The shower was leaking so badly - not through the door, but where it connected with the floor. I also couldn't easily communicate with the owner as they only speak German. Lucky I could use WhatAp and Google Translate and I do speak basic German.

    I'm afraid that the only good thing I can say was that the localization of the hostel is really good. Close to a big tram/train station from which it's easy to get to everywhere. There are a lot of shops nearby if someone needs to buy something. The cleaning lady was super nice and she's the one who showed me where everything was. But she only came once as far as I saw. It's a cool idea to leave water in the fridge for guests - even if I only drink still and couldn't find anything for myself. Convenient to have a washing machine as well.
