    Location is amazing. Beds were good, showers were on the icky side, bring flip flops. Bring you own lock, costs 5€ there. Personally didn’t feel completely safe, but it comes with the territory. A lot of rules to ensure that the rooms are quiet and food/drink free.

    This is a good standard hostel. The rooms are nice and comfortable. Service was fine and the location is convenient due to its proximity to Wien Hbf, and to the metro station which takes you to the city centre. Have to say, breakfast is exceptionally good.

    Our best hostel yet! Staff are really friendly and helpful and are there 24/7 which is amazing. The rooms are clean and provide all the essentials but the highlight for me was the privacy curtains around the bunks! You could close yourself off at night which was so comforting. They also had events planned almost every evening and there was a really sociable and fun atmosphere there the whole time. Even got free breakfast!! Loved it :)

    Not a great hostel at all! The bathroom shower area has black mould in between the tiles! Locker rooms cost 5 euros for 6 hours ! not worth it. Check in was okay and fast. Could not rest in the lobby area when i reached early.. I was asked not to rest there.. as i am supposed to sit as if im in school! lol.. Did not appreciate that rudeness ! The bath area has black mould, need i say more? The washroom was a mediocre quality, did not feel worth the money. Altogether a very average hostel, not like the way it says Fabulous in Hostelworld with 8,6 rating. Certainly did not feel that way! There are better hostels than this one for sure with even cheaper price! Never going here again!!!

    Fine for what it is, I should have checked before but what you get for the price is pretty bare bones. There's no kitchen, no laundry option (the laundromat around the corner cost me 15 euros), and they charge you if you want to store any luggage. I stored luggage at the train station because that was cheaper and more convenient! Rooms are comfy and beds are private. I wish there was more of a common area to meet people or just chill/read/do work that wasn't associated with the bar/restaurant, which was fun but not very cozy. Area is well connected but not super central, but near the trains so that's nice. I'll stay somewhere else next time in Vienna :).

    I stayed there for one night in a private room and I had a great experience. It’s located near the metro so you can get to the touristic places really fast. The room was big and spacious and clean. Friendly staff at the reception and a nice bar. The only thing I didn’t like was the pillows, they were uncomfortable for me.

    Lots of positives. Great start. Very clean. Good breakfast. Very quiet for the individual/non dorm rooms. Social bar area after 7pm. Close to metro to get to center very quickly. In the summer they provided a fan in the room I was in which is nice. Surprisingly, many European hotels don’t even do this in a heat wave so 5 stars for sure. The negative is that this part of town is kind of shady. You won’t spend any time here. You are right next to the metro which will get you to the old town but know that you will spend zero time in this part of the city. It’s next to a McDonalds so that’s the only other option other than metro. Again, 5 stars but you should know that you won’t just walk outside and head to a local bar or something like that.

    I've stayed in hostels before, but this was my first time in a hostel chain. The best way I can describe it is like flying budget airline: you get the basics but everything else is charged extra. The basics: my room (4-bed dorm) was spacious and clean. There are chairs, a table, and a small closet with a couple of hangers. Towels can be hung on wall hooks. Attached bathrooms in every room have separate shower and toilet with soap in each. Lockers are large "cages" at the bottom of each bunk. Beds are on the firm side and I've heard some people had difficulty sleeping on them. There are privacy screen, charging point, light, and a shelf in individual bed. One can turn off the room light from a switch conveniently next to their bed. There's a small fan that doesn't really do much cooling down for everyone (in summer) but nonetheless appreciated. Window is large and can be opened to let in air (depending on which floor you stay), but this could be a little loud. The hostel is located in a junction of 1-lane streets so there are some, though not heavy, traffic. Access to the building and room is through a key card that has a €2 deposit. The extras: lock, towel, breakfast, bag storage (€2.5/6hrs, coins only). If you book directly you get breakfast for free. Breakfast was toast, jam, cold meats, boiled eggs, cereals, coffee and tea, from 8-10am. Decent, not very exciting. There is no kitchen but the breakfast area is turned into a social area/bar in the evening. Location wise it's one metro stop away from the main train station but very walkable through a pedestrian zone. Staff was helpful and friendly and I didn't encounter any issues during my stay. For the price paid I think it's a bit on the expensive side, but so are other accommodation options elsewhere in the city.

    Definitely the best hostel I’ve stayed in. A simple, clean, very friendly place that I looked forward to staying at both times across my trip. Great staff, great bar, great breakfast, all around great vibe here. B at the front desk also absolutely rocks and made the whole stay worthwhile!

    Really nice hostel with good public connection to center and to the airport. The staff was super nice, helpful and friendly. The breakfast was exceptional for a hostel (recommend going early). I have to drop one star from the rooms because the overall cleanliness wasn't perfect - the beds had a bit of a sink hole in the middle and there was some dust on the floors.

  • 4/5 Marianna L. 3 months ago on Google • 90 reviews New
    The location is great and I really liked the bar downstairs, it had a really nice atmosphere with food and drinks. The staff was really nice and they did events every night so you could meet other people if you wanted to. Unfortunately, the bathroom at the room was dirty, the shower and sink were both clogged.

  • 5/5 Jiří S. 2 months ago on Google • 34 reviews New
    The hostel is located a few minutes walk from the main train station and is therefore a great choice for all travelers. The service is very very nice, specially the smiling lady who was on duty on Valentine's night. The rooms are simple but comfortable, breakfast is tasty and rich. Good quality for a good price.

  • 5/5 İrem �. 3 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    It was my first solo-travel and i decided to stay here for two nights. It was sick. The check-in was really fast and easy, Andrew helped me a lot and he was soo kind. I've met so many cool people here. There are always some events here. They cleaned the room everyday while I'm in here. Location is really good, there is a subway nearby.

  • 5/5 Johnny D. 1 year ago on Google
    St. Cristopher's has an amazing staff, the breakfast is good, the beds are comfy and the rooms are spacious and clean, also the bathrooms. I definitely recommend this hostal if you're planning to visit Vienna. Thank you for the experience!

  • 5/5 Nikindra H. 6 months ago on Google
    I stayed here just for one night. I booked a private room as that’s all they had left. Great vibe and friendly staff. Was really quiet. There was a bar/restaurant down stairs which is cool. The breakfast in the morning was great, well worth the 7euros. They even had gluten free bread available.

  • 4/5 Abigail TK C. 6 months ago on Google
    It's a 12 minute walk from the hbf so very convenient for getting around. The staff at the front desk were super friendly and helpful giving tips on activities in the area. The beds were well spaced in the room so you didn't feel clumped together and it was clean in the room and bathroom. The common/main area lobby isn't so large (just like 2 couches) but the breakfast and bar area were quite nice. All in all a good hostel experience

  • 5/5 Sterre ten D. 6 months ago on Google
    Very nice hostel! By far the best one of our entire interrail trip. It was very clean. Everybody was very kind. Especially a very big shoutout to the girl at the reception that helped us check in. She had an incredible sense of hospitality that you don’t see often. We came 3 hours too early and our room wasn’t ready (completely understandable) and she changed our rooms and gave us a free upgrade so we could check in immediately. It is very near to the central train station and a metro stop that brings you downtown in no time. The only negative is that the mattresses were extremely firm. But all in all that didn’t take away from the great experience!

  • 4/5 Saige S. 6 months ago on Google
    Acceptably clean rooms at a very good price. Location is close to the train station and a short ride to the Vienna city center. I felt safe in the area and there is a very popular sandwich place around the corner. No shared kitchen area, loud music in the shared common area/ restaurant. The self service washer and dryer work well! Staff at the front are also available all day and friendly.

  • 5/5 Stefan M. 6 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately, I did not remember to take some pictures to add to this review this time. I'll surely be back tho, I'll make some. The staff IS polite. There is a closed h24 parking space nearby at like 5m walk from the St. Christopher's Inn (for only 12€/day) The room was clean, and the bed was very comfy. The in-room private bathroom was clean, and shampoo was provided. There is a pub inside, which is worth checking out.

  • 4/5 AZ K. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been staying with St Christopher from a decade now. It never disappoints and maintains its vibe everywhere i stayed. I have stayed this time in 4 bed room and bed was comfy. It was warm and there was only one small fan for 4 beds. Obviously they didn’t promised AC. Breakfast was included as book directly and loved it as always. Staff at reception and cafe all very friendly and lively. Will keep staying with them whenever possible…!

  • 5/5 Binu S. 6 months ago on Google
    This has been the best Hostel I’ve been to - the staffs are the best - lively and fun - B! and Judith were amazing 😍 - if you in europe - visit this amazing experience … seriously the people fall into a warm company here at the hostel - the staffs make sure that we are in good mood.

  • 5/5 Sophie H. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent new hostel in Vienna. Perfectly located, clean, super friendly staff and cool new design. Recommend!

  • 5/5 Daiane K. 11 months ago on Google
    I stay only for one night, because the train was cancel I arrived very late, but the staff were very nice, polite and helpful specially Nick and Alexa, I was really tired but the hostel is just 10 min away from the train station, the bed are very nice the room is very clean. Breakfast also great! I definitely will stay longer another time!

  • 1/5 Xen X. 1 year ago on Google
    My friends and I booked a stay at this hostel. I arrived at 5 am in the morning and after a 10h trainride, I was just looking forward to quietly sit in the lobby and wait for my friends. The receptionist wouldn't let me sit in the lobby even though there was literally noone else there and I wouldn't have disturbed anyone. Instead, she made me wait outside in the rain and cold. Zero accomodation to costumer's. I've stayed in over 30 hostels in my life and arrived quite early in almost all of them and was never treated this way before anywhere else.

  • 2/5 Marie van den E. 1 year ago on Google
    Location isnt very nice, but very close to a direct metro line to the city centre. Close to the main station too. My room smelled bad all the time and the water in the shared bathroom didnt ran through. There are drinking ‘activities’ but it was a little awkward and unclear where, what… Staff was really nice :)))

  • 5/5 Our wanderlust a. 3 months ago on Google New
    This was a great place to stay. We booked a private room and I can honestly say it was better than most of the hotels we have stayed in. We had dinner and drinks in the bar / restaurant and the food and service was amazing. The staff are awesome and very helpful. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Ádám M. 4 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    One of the best Hostels we have visited❤️ Very well organized, the cleanliness is exceptional. The rooms was perfect. The staff is very welcoming and pretty kind. Location is amazing. The hostel is right next to a metro stop and the big train station is also just couple of minutes walk from the hostel. The area around is full of shops and eating options. Thanks for having us there ❤️ Special thanks to Pedro & Milana ❤️

  • 5/5 Ingrid RadaSan K. 3 months ago on Google New
    Spacious and efficient double room with private bathroom. Location is practical, near to a lot of shops and places to eat, underground station is very nearby, train station at a ten minutes walk. Clear instructions, good facilities and friendly staff. 😊

  • 3/5 David T. 1 year ago on Google
    Still in construction, probably shouldn't be open yet. St Christopher's is very commercial hostel with little character. The bar attached is public for all, so makes it tricky to meet other travelers. They never let you check in early even if the room is ready and they love charging little extras for everything.

  • 5/5 Chris L. 1 year ago on Google
    Brand new hostel with a superb sports bar. The beds were super comfy, and internet was so fast!. The reception staff were on point, and arranged plenty of events. Big shout out to Rhys, Jess and Cami.

  • 5/5 Saurabh V. 1 year ago on Google
    If you want the best and most helpful then go for it. All staffs are very kind if you ask them for recommendations they will tell you better than google. Regarding room and cleanliness was perfect. I went there as a solo traveller and I encounter with lots of nice people.

  • 5/5 Kat D. 11 months ago on Google
    The best hostel we've stayed in yet. Lovely, friendly staff and our room was super clean, comfortable and even had tea & coffee making facilities (we were in a private twin room). The breakfast was well worth the price and we had a free tasty vege pasta dinner one night. Free laundry facilities and well located for tram and metro services too. Great place and would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

  • 5/5 Zhaolin Meng (. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff are extremely helpful. I forgot some of my clothes at the room, and called them a few hours after checking out. They immediately found my clothes, and went to the post office to send them back to me. Huge thanks to the team. The place was nice, clean, convenient, safe. One of the best hostels I have stayed at.

  • 5/5 Aashish A. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best hostels to book i vienna. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are quite spacious and good. I would suggest the hostel must add some room fragrance in washrooms. There is bar and common area where you can mingle with other people. I would just suggest that hostel must add few more games to enhance users experience. Note: book the hostel from their website and get free breakfast

  • 5/5 Alexander H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really liked this place! just stayed here twice the last 5 days. Clean, good location, pretty great value, free breakfast if you book online, and good quality too. Professional staff that all speak English and friendly on arrival. Big place. The only negative I would say is the check out was at 11, fine, but the housekeeping cleaning staff on both occasions were cleaning around 10/1015am. Felt a bit pressured to leave the room when I wanted to relax until the 11am check out. Minor issue though, and I am sure they just wanted to crack on considering the 5 floors!

  • 5/5 Hatice Kübra K. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the best hostel ive ever been. Friendly staff, amazing events, amazing breakfast, clean rooms and i love the curtain thing in rooms. The location is good. The drafts beers in the bar were perfect. I also want to thank to Ana, she was very lovely.

  • 5/5 Vaibbhav Y. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is a party hostel and the rates are good. The breakfast served is tasty and they also provide you with a welcome drink. The only downside is that you have to take your own lock. The bed has a charging point so that's a plus. The rooms were neat and clean. Even though it is a party hostel there was no noise near the rooms.

  • 5/5 Ellen T. 1 year ago on Google
    Good hostel. Lot of spaces to sit and it is allowed to bring your own food. Every evening there is another activity in the hostel. And they have staff from all over the world. There are many lockers which you can rent for a few euros. And a cozy bar with many beers to choose from!

  • 3/5 Jian K. 1 year ago on Google
    👍 Room is wide and bathroom is clean. Breakfast is okay(nothing special) . And the bed has a private curtain and many plugs. 👎 Not enough couches (only two for hundreds of people). But there are many tables and chairs good for laptops. ONLY ONE Lift that cleaners use it together so it will be super busy around 11am as they have the cleaning and linen trolley. Extra charges for luggage keepin (never had any hostels that doesn’t offer free keeping service)

  • 5/5 Vishnu R. 1 year ago on Google
    It's really a great place to stay. The room is big , clean and elegant. With screen for your beds. The service is also good. The distance is about 2 miles from city centre. But it's very close to a subway. So it really doesn't matter much. Breakfast is also really nice. Strongly recommended

  • 5/5 Nadina A. 1 year ago on Google
    Stayed 4 nights. Really liked the mixed 4 bedroom. The bed has a bed curtain, that’s amazing and a light and a charger. The shower and toilet in the room are also really good :) opportunity for 3 people to sit in the room. Staff is really friendly, and I also enjoyed the bar and breakfast area. You have free breakfast when you book directly. Special Shout-out and Thanks to Teunis - super cool and friendly guy 👍🏼☺️ Location is really close to the U-Bahn Station. :)

  • 5/5 Alina K. 7 months ago on Google
    I had a really good time here. Rooms are bright and really clean for a hostel!! I got checked in by a Canadian guy at the reception and he was really helpful also on how to get around. The only downside was the location that is a bit far from the Center but the metro’s close.

  • 4/5 Aparna K. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is bit far away from the main city Vienna. But we have lot of transportation facilities across the city to visit this place. Rooms are good and services are satisfied..they maintained a cleanliness everywhere. It was bit hot inside their restaurant area and bar section..other than that I suggest everyone to go for this if you are interested.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth “Eliza” G. 1 year ago on Google
    This hostel is very clean and fun. I really liked how the rooms are set up as you have your privacy but it’s also an open space. I appreciate the energy it has to offer, the bar and downstairs area provide plenty of entertainment if you’re looking to socialize and stay in. Gabriel specifically made our time enjoyable, he’s a very attentive bar tender with great energy. Super fun stay!!

  • 5/5 Callum S. 8 months ago on Google
    Great place, luxury hostel, and even better vibes in the bar. All the staff are phenomenal, wish I could stay longer. The rooms are literally spotless and a nice warm shower after 2 months of backpacking.

  • 5/5 K 7 months ago on Google
    Good place to stay in Vienna. I got a wonderful time there, it close to metro and got lots of market there, a famous kebab restaurant is just 5 min walk. Every worker there can fix almost every your problem, but if you want some good place to chill or fun things to do, find B, he knows the thing you need.

  • 5/5 Chloe 9 months ago on Google
    Location is really good! I can go to the center within 10minutes by subway, and it is also very close to train&bus station. The room is clean and has enough space, so I felt so comfortable. Staffs are nice as well :) There was no ac but I didn't feel hot. If I come to Vienna again, I definitely stay here again!

  • 5/5 Orlaith M. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great spot! 10 minutes from train station, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Downstairs was bustling but when you got the rooms it was nice and quiet. Booked a 4 bed for 2 people and we were pleasantly surprised with a twin room, very clean and really comfortable beds, slept very well. No A/C but the one fan between 2 of us was fine. Nice to have the slightly later checkout of 11, 100% recommend.
