Our two night stay in Vienna here was good, nothing extraordinary but we found it comfortable and well equipped. Breakfast was decent value and had a variety of food. Staff were helpful and answered all questions really thoroughly. No wifi in the room which was annoying and the location puts it around 20 mins brisk walk from Vienna centre but... More

Location depends on what you need tho, I was in Vienna for a concert so location was great, since it was pretty much close to the Stadthalle. You have a bit walk to do to the metro station, but it wasn't really a problem for me. Staff was really kind. Rooms are clean, I don't know about shared bathrooms because... More

Wombats Base was terrible. Far away from public transport. Behind hotel is a train track where you can hear train all day and night. WiFi works only in the lobby, and if you have to talk on skype, to bad, because the bar is right there, and music are loud. They had a group of old musicians in my floor,... More

I visited "Wombat's The Base" a few days ago and I was delighted! One night was enough to say it's great place to stay. Clean room, bathroom and bedclothes. There is a a hairdryer in the bathroom and lockers in the room. The Base is visited by people from around the world: we shared our room with girls from Australia... More

As usual these hostels are simple and for budget travelers this is no brainer !! Rooms are bit smaller and as expected given the price and value !! It's a bit of a trek from the train station if you are carrying a heavy back pack as there is one more close to the train station - staff is very... More

We got a six person room for under $20 per person per night, which was a fantastic deal. Rooms were basic - lockers for everyone, bunk beds with linens provided (no free towels, though), and a private bathroom - but clean. Staff were helpful in answering our questions about the sights of Vienna, but were definitely outnumbered in terms of... More

The hostel is nice and clean with clean rooms, good beds and great shower. Helpful (English speaking) staff and the breakfast buffet was elaborate and very nice. We were a little unlucky with the other people in the room who woke us up in the middle of night and caused some awkwardness, but that's a risk you take in any... More

I have only stayed in three hostels during my winter travel in December 2012 and you can read the rest from my profile, so take this with a pinch of salt. 1.

It was my first time in a hostel. It was a good experience. Everyone there is near your age, and you can meet new people. The hostel was near to a metro station, some stations close to the centre. I don't know if hostels offer it, but we didn't have soap in room and towels.
