To start with, we asked for a king-sized bed but we received a room with three 1 person beds. It looks like it is more a 2 star hotel to be honest. Maybe the stars rating in Austria is different from other countries. The rooms are clean-ish, every day they took out the garbage, changed the towels, but there are some things that were not that clean, especially in the bathroom. Breakfast is very poor and it is 7.5eur/person. You can have a more decent breakfast for this money if you go to a Spar. No mini-fridge in the room. The only good thing is it's postion, close to metro stations, a pietonal area close by with many shops - apparel and also food.

The worst hotel I ever stayed at. Not only the check in time 15:00 is late but when I got there after 15:00 the receptionist, which could've been kinder, told me that I have to wait because there was some issue with the computer. They could've at least offered a complimentary drink while I was waiting considering how hot it was. When they checked me in they gave me a dirty room. I had to go back and ask for another and the second one was dirty as well. Finally the third time was a clean room but it still wasn't properly cleaned. The staff wasn't very professional. The hotel needs to invest in more resources to prep their staff better. The breakfast wasn't worth 7.50€ at all. Not much choice of food. And the juice was definitely not juice. Tasted like colored water. This hotel charges as if it was a 4 stars hotel but offers the service of a hostel. The manager is not doing a great job at running this hotel, thus the low score on many booking sites. The only thing I appreciated is that it's only 10 minutes away from central station and if that wasn't enough, there's a subway station right at the corner of the block that will take you to downtown in 5 minutes. The neighborhood the hotel is situated in has plenty of shops, restaurants, food stands, etc.

This hotel is very disappointing. The room was seemingly great upon arrival, but we quickly discovered the shower did not drain and had to stand in a pool of water for the whole shower. The beds are very uncomfortable with terrible pillows and sheets smelling unwashed and sweaty (disgusting). On top of all this, the WiFi is terrible and does not work for anything other than texting, very disappointing for a hotel wanting to bring travelers in who need WiFi for planning purposes. Overall disappointed and very unsatisfied with my stay, I will not be using one of these hotels again.

I chose this hotel due to its location near the central train station. Moreover it's very close to a metro station from where you can reach the city center easily and fast. Affordable. We had also breakfast which was good enough. The room was big, beds were good. Just the shower panels were broken so you couldn't really slide them and they didn't give a good or clean impression.

+ Very good price, spacious room. + The receptionist upon our arrival informed us about public holiday in Austria on the next day. Another receptionist at the check out asked, how was our stay, and apologized, when I complained. - We chose this hotel due to a very good rating of the hygiene and cleanliness. Unfortunately we cannot share the same experience. There was a lot of dirt on the floor. The bathroom smelled horribly and there was some mysterious brownish liquid coming out of the flush button. (Pictures attached.) - Also we received another room, than what we booked. We were supposed to have the quad room with the sofa and double bed. We had some room with 2 usual beds and 4 bunk beds, totally looking rather as a hostel room, than a hotel. - The official pictures of the hotel make a whole different expectations! - Lack of the sockets. There was a lamp fixed on the wall and the cable of it could not reach any of the socket! What sense does it make? Also the room looked old, not in a very well condition, stains and scratches on the walls and on the furniture. - Also it was very hot, no air-conditioning, only two electric fans, but is is difficult to plug it somewhere, as there are not enough sockets. - I would rather call it a better hostel, than a bad hotel.

This hotel is really convenient for urban trevelers. I've stayed in 6 beds women dormitory and it was great. Also the price is really low (hence perfect for students). The rooms are spacious, well-equiped and pretty clean. Staff was kind and they speak great English. Only thing I've missed was socket nearby the bed and bedside lamp. I've enjoyed the stay and I would recommend this hotel.

Decent hotel. On pricy side - possibly due to a higher demand around New Year - from 28 dec Basic furniture. Metal lockers to put clothes away. Disappointing that we got all single beds - family of 5. We’ve got one extra bed but could not be used as it was broken. It was Friday afternoon when we arrived. When we reported it to the Reception we were told nothing can be done as the maintenance guy was due to come on Monday. I understand that this was not an urgency but still it should have been handled differently. Breakfast was good. Really fresh bread rolls, Nice variety, some cold meats, cheese, fresh vegetables, fruit yogurt etc. good coffee. 3 * is fair rating. Good location due to the vicinity of U1.

I booked a private room and couldn't have been more satisfied. It was very clean and quiet. The wifi was reliable, and unlike some other hostels I've stayed in, I had no issues getting the hot water going in the bathroom! Finally, the staff at the front desk were very helpful in getting me oriented to the public transit routes. I'll definitely stay here again if I decide to return to Vienna.

I only was here for one night. I arrived late and left early so I didn't have a whole experience there to be honest. Great bedrooms and bathrooms, comfortable bed, relax and quite. I couldn't get a nice sleep there because my roommates were really noise. A couple arrived really late and where dragging around their suitcases and the guy besides me snored all night long really loudly. But this is not the hostel's fault. Regarding the hostel: they provide you enough to really get a nice sleep there, I just had bad luck. Staff was kind and helpful. The breakfast was ok, first I thought it was overpriced. But then I realized that the whole Wien is overpriced. I stayed in another hostel in Wien and they offered a cheaper breakfast but this one was a little bit better. I also had breakfast outside (ULRICH) and it was extremely overpriced, so prices in Wien are the problem not this hostel.

Very friendly/helpful staff. Good price and close to train station. I liked that they have a phone for guest use. Their common kitchen could use some work - wasn't very clean, clean cups were all dirty inside. No sink so had to take kettle to bathroom to fill, which is gross. Could use lockable storage lockers in dorms as well.

My experience in this hostel was pretty good: our rooms were spacious enough for six people (with two bunk beds and two single beds), but just one of the two bathrooms had a sink, so it was really uncomfortable for everyone to get ready! I had a previous experience in another Meninger Hostel, where everyone had a room key, but this time our group had just two keys, which was again, pretty uncomfortable. The food was good and I had the opportunity to try new things (and there were lactose-free and vegetarian options). The staff was so welcoming though, and the hostel is located in a shopping street, with shops and fast food restaurants, and that's a really good point!

There is no air conditioner and in the evening the room is so hot. There is no fan in the bathroom, as a result, it is smelling because of the humidity. Also, cleanness was not enough, everywhere is covered by dust. The most imported thing for the hostel for me is a locker however, there is no enough locker in the room for everyone. Otherwise, the beds are comfortable and staffs are so friendly and helpful.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at Meininger. It was walking distance from the central station (~10 minutes), a block away from a metro station to get to downtown (which was about a 10 min metro ride), and a block away from a large shopping strip with a lot of food options. The only downside was there was no lockers in the rooms for valuables. I'm not sure if there were lockers available in the main floor area or not, we didn't check. It felt like a pretty safe atmosphere though. The rooms were spacious and clean. My friend and I were in a 6 bed mixed dorm, and the room also had a private shower and toilet connected to the room. The beds were also probably the most comfortable hostel bed I slept in during my trip. There is breakfast offered, but fairly expensive, we were able to find cheaper options close by. There is also a laundry facility around the corner as well, but it was a fairly expensive load of laundry. The front office staff was also very helpful with any questions we had. The wifi actually worked well too - from the lobby up to our room on the 3rd floor. Overall, I would recommend this hostel!
