    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.

    It's probably one of the best hostels I've ever stayed. I stayed in a room of 6 beds. It was bright and very clean. It cost 16 euros and 3.5 for breakfast in September, 2004. The only setback is its location. It's located behind the Westbahnhof. It was a bit dark and scary for me to head back from the main street late at night. Try its new branch in Munich. It was just open in late September. 21 euros per person per night. It's JUST two mintue walk from the main train station...a convenient location.

    Clean,New,Convenient,Friendly,Comfortable,Safe,Lively.

    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!

  • 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.

    Great location. Clean, large rooms

    Wombat's "The Lounge" just opened in June. The building is really nice, hip and modern. It is also very clean throughout. We had a private room which had decent space. The bathroom was decent, nothing special.

    The hostel had backpackers, families, couples- all age groups. Wombats isn't just for students with a low budget.

    In the basement there is a "Wombar" which was very cool. We went there 2 of our 3 nights to get drinks after dinner. One of the nights it was packed. The drinks were pretty cheap and there was a nice selection.

    The staff was really friendly and helpful. They recommended some really good local restaurants.

    The kitchen (which we did not use) looked very clean and lots of people were cooking there.

    Internet access was a reasonable price and the computers were pretty new.

    The hostel also felt very safe. To get into each corridor where the rooms were, you had to use the electronic key to open a door. So if you aren't staying in a certain section, you don't have access to that hallway.

    i stayed in wombat's for 3 nights, and i think it's a pretty good hostel with a nice pub and good security! the staff are friendly and the rooms are neat and clean too! the buffet breakfast is pretty nice but would be better if there are more varieties of food.

    the faclities are new, and the rooms are neat and it's really close to the westbahnhoff ( within walking distance )

  • 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...

    We'd heard good things about Wombat's and although being in the allegedly "not so nice part of the city" it was clean, cheap and had a great bar with pool table. We met some American and Dutch students who were living in Vienna here and had a fantastic evening. The rooms were 6 bed dorms with private bathrooms.

    You get a free beer just for staying there....

    This place got voted the cleanest hostel in the world in 2003.
