“Vienna -backpacking in style”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

The Base was not hard to find but do your homework before you leave home. Convenient if you arrive Vienna at Westbarnhof. From Westbarnhof the Base is a 15 minute walk. Take care with wheeled-luggage as the cobbles take no prisoners. We stayed in a ensuite room. It was adequate base from which to expore the city centre. The trams are great, get your pass before you leave the train station. Breakfast is well worth the effort to consume before you hit the city, the bar and surroundings are safe and to be enjoyed. Good cafes and restaurants a short walk away. At night the street noise can intrude on your rest so check if your room overlooks the street from which you entre the Base. Bring ear plugs if you have to leave window open during summer. Wifi good but only available near the lobby (bar and common area).

Room Tip: Book early and be nice to the on-line booking people. Try to arrive at the Base after monring check...

“Simply great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

the drawback to this Hostel is that you have to walk quite awhile to reach Vienna's main attractions, but all in all it was simply great! it was clean, affordable (especially since we were travelling on a budget) and friendly. the room had the bare essentials which was fine by us and the hostel taxi service was brilliant too. close to the train station. worth every penny.

“Everything great! (except it's a bit far from the center...)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

The hostel is quite big. The rooms are clean and in good condition.
There is a nar with a good atmosphere during late afternoon.
The only bad thing is it is a bit far away the center, not too well situated but it only takes 10 min to get the metro to the ring.

“Fantastic Hostel! Brilliant Staff.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

Great party atmosphere in the Bar area, which makes meeting people very easy. The bar staff a great fun!! It is in a minor red light district and you do have to walk down a long semi dark side street to get the base unlike the lounge located just down the street. However we were two young girls, first night got a little bit of a fright was we just did not expect to see the girls on the corner but the whole 3nights we spent walking up to the hostel we had no problems what so ever and did not feel uneasy. The staff are very helpful and the breakfast is cheap but good.
