 | Wombat's: The best hostel in Europe?

I stayed at Wombat's hostel for three nights in August 2006. What a great place! Its best feature definitely is that it's spotless clean. (Voted Cleanest hostel in the world in 2003) I have seen so many hotels which were so dirty. The managers should stay at Wombat's some day. Or even better: How about an internship? ;)
If the lobby wasn't that colourful, the people here weren't that young and the furniture wasn't so basic you would forget easily that you are in a hostel!
Prices are very fair. We paid 24 EUR per person for a bed in an ensuite double room, half the price of the dirty hotel we had to move to for one night. Breakfast is available for 3.50 EUR, sheets and towel are included in the price.
Staff was very friendly and international. There's a bar downstairs which is open from 6pm to 2 am. It's loud and cheap in there. A beer during happy hour costs 1 EUR, and a pizza is available for 3.90. There's a pool table and a table football available in the bar, too.
The location 10 mts away from Westbahnhof is ok. I felt safe around there, the only not-so-nice-area is the Westbahnhof itself. At Mariahilfer Straße only a short walk from the hostel there's a bakery, shops, a supermarket and an excellent ice cream shop!
We stayed in two different double rooms. One was a handicapped room with a huge bathroom including tub and a double bed. The other one was a room under the roof with a nice view of Vienna by night, two single beds and a colourful bathroom. Both were clean. The only small problem was that the sheets of the double bed didn't really fit. But apart from that: Perfect!
Wombat's have recently opened another hostel in the same area (directly on Äußere Mariahilfer Straße). It looks at least as great, a bit more stylish even. Theme: HostelPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveDirections: From Westbahnhof walk right to Mariahilfer Straße. Walk down this street (or take a tram for one stop) and turn right into Rosinagasse. The Grangasse is 2nd and the last street on the left.Website: www.wombats-hostels.com

If I could fit this hostel in my pack,I'd bring it with me everywhere.
Immaculatly Maintained,great bar,laundry room,Great staff,great location,great patio,great rooms,great bathrooms,great guests,great prices,great balcony...did someone say great?
I've stayed in over 30 hostels across America,The Caraïbe and Europe and this one is THE best.
It makes me so much less tolerant of other (esp. European) hostels.
I felt a sense of great value....and it was still there after I pinched myself! Theme: HostelComparison: less expensive than averageDirections: Near the International Station for trains heading North and West.

As I live here its hard to think of somewhere to recommend! But I came across an advert for a hostel which looked really cool and so I decided to check it out. I would definitely stay here if I was visiting Vienna although it seems a lot of people do too so check its not fully booked! It is open 24 hours and is centrally enough located near Westbahnhof to get around the city.
Beds start at Euro 14 and breakfast from Euro 3
Its got a bar with patio, laundry facilities, internet access as well as bike and roller blade hire! Look at the internet page for more details and further hostelling in Europe links... Theme: HostelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterDirections: Located not far from Westbahnhof (West Station) and near to Mariahilferstrasse, Vienna's main shopping street. It is also near the line U3 which get you quickly into the heart of the city.Website: www.wombats.at Other Contact: Tel: 00 43 1 8972336
