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.

The units at the hostel come with a seating area, a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a shared bathroom with a hairdryer and a shower. At Space Home Apartment - Inner City every room includes bed linen and towels.

The place has everything a traveller could need. It's comfortable, practical, and simple. Also, they give you a towel and there is shower gel in the showers, things that other hostels don't offer for free. Maybe there are cheaper hostels and closer to the central area, but I wanted something close to Gasometer, as I attended a concert there, and this was the best choice. I definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a place to stay in Erdberg area.

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.

    The Hostel is safe, clean, comfortable, relaxing, easily reachable by public transport and 5 minutes walks from Schoenbrunn Castle and Gardens!!! The cleaning lady comes everyday! They provide you iron, ironing table, washing machine and laundry service. The Host Sam is always reachable, available, gentle, helpful, serious and honest!!! If you have a very small budget I definitely recommend you to book a stay at ABAI Apartments!

    The hostel was easy to get to from the metro station, there are also trams nearby. Locality seems quite safe, and active even after hours of the day. The hostel is well kept, even the common area, you may even plug in and work peacefully if your on a working holiday, for the digital nomads 😀. The breakfast was a big spread with many options and quality. Overall, I highly recommend if you are looking for a good yet budget friendly accommodation.

Met a lot of cool people to explore the city with, and was able to fall asleep at 10pm no problem if I wanted to. If you stay anywhere else in Vienna you're a fool. And cheap beer!

    One of the best hostels I've ever been to but also one of the cheapest as well so it's a fantastic value for money! The staff was very kind and helpful. The rooms are clean, big and have a separate bathroom and toilet which makes things so much easier! The hostel also has a bar that works during the night, where you can also play pool, beer-pong etc. so it's a great place to meet new people as well.

    Great location close to a lot of cool bars and restaurants. Such a cozy lobby where it was nice to hang out both alone and with friends. The hostel bar was AMAZING and I ended up staying there a lot of the nights instead of going out. Great place to meet new people!! Also the people at the reception were so nice and welcoming! Great beds and free lockers. Absolutely the best hostel I've ever been to.
