The lounge

We were probably the oldest two here at the youth hostel, but all the youngsters made us feel very at home, especially the Aussie that we met shortly after arriving. We had a lovely double room with private bathroom. A shower door/curtain was missing which caused the bathroom floor to be very wet after a shower, but that was not going to dampen our spirits. An extremely clean place, with very friendly and helpful staff. Communal kitchen kept very clean and well equipped.

Unique Quality: Great location. Clean, large rooms

The Lounge

I stayed here for 3 nights although I keep wishing that it was longer. The place was amazing. There is a great lounge area on the ground floor with sofas that are sooo comfortable. On the same level is a large dining area and a kitchen which has FREE PASTA available for guests. Can you guess what I had for 75% of my meals?

The beds and sheets rank up with the best i've stayed in and all the dorms come with en-suite facilities and large lockers.

However, the greatest thing about this hostel has to be the WomBar downstairs. It has a pool table and a fussball table in one room and a large bar with plenty of seating in the other. There were numerous happy hours (6-8 for beer, 9-10 for cocktails, and 12-1 for a special drink every night). The bar was a great place to start three memorable nights.

Vienna. Boring? Not with a stay at Wombats.

The most central location in Vienna

I would recommend Wombats , The Lounge, to anyone. We stayed there in April and it was great. The staff were very friendly and the room was en suite and spotless. I would stay there again if I visit this beautiful city again. The breakfast was amazing, only €3.50 for all you could eat.

Unique Quality: Its all in the location. Its minutes from the underground, which takes you just about anywhere.

Fantastic Hostel

We stayed at Wombat's The Lounge (there are two Wombat's in town) and it was a great hostel. I was a little concenred about location because on the map it looks a little far from the city center. But metro station is SO close and so easy to use, you barely notice you're not in the city center.

Rooms were totally clean, the staff was friendly and very helpful, and the common areas were well populated with fellow travellers in a social mood. Also, cheap itnernet access, no lock-out times, and a cheap all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. Fantastic!

This is a bit of a party hostel but the bar is in the basement, far away from the rooms. Noise mostly stays there. Occassionally we would hear some people stumbling back to their rooms, but noise really wasn't a problem.

Also, if you are booking a private room instead of a dorm, be extra clear about how many beds you want. We thought we booked a two-bedded room but got one double bed instead. The hostel was very booked up so even though they did find a twin room for us, we wound up having to spend one day in a dorm room instead of our private room. Other than this mix-up, we had a fantastic stay at Wombat's!

Unique Quality: Not many hostels manage to offer socializing AND privacy. Wombat's managed to offer both.

Wombat`s The Lounge

Spent there 5 days. It was pretty good.

The PROS:
- clean,
- bathroom has soaps dispensers (good as a shampoo and a soap) in a shower and above the sink - very handy.
- has a kitchen if you want to make your own lunch/dinner and a canteen with a TV. Supermarkets are nearby.
- offers breakfast (3.5 euro per person).
- has a bar downstairs. Discounted beer is served between 7pm and 8pm.
- has Internet (1 euro for 40 minutes or 50 cents for 20 minutes). There are 5 computers.
- close to the subway (U3) and bus #58 (which gets you to Shonbrunn palace).

The CONS:
- only one towel and it is small.
- food is not allowed in the rooms. Have to eat it downstairs.
- windows have no curtains (besides the black shades) and face the office building - easy to see.
- not central (5 metro stops).
- big, so the lounge area is usually crowded and computers are often occupied.
- it is not the cheapest.

PRICE: We payed 51 euros per night for a room with a bathroom.

Wombat's

This place is rightly held up in such esteem as it is. Although it may not be the cheapest hostel in the world it certainly is up there with the most comfortable and all rooms are en-suite. It's within walking distance of an underground and train station (Westbahnhof) and there is a supermarket just around the corner if you want to cook for yourself in the nice kitchen. The bar is also cheap and very social.

Great time

This place is crazy. It is so busy in the lobby of this hostel when you walk in, but once you make it to the front desk the staff is so nice you forgot how busy it is.
The rooms are very nice and spacious. We booked a room for 6 even though we were only 5 people. The price was so reasonable!
There was a great bar where you even got a free drink when you checked in.
There did not seem to be an age limit because I saw many families there.
