About Wombats City Hostel Vienna- The Base

wombats CITY HOSTELS were voted as BEST HOSTEL CHAIN WORLDWIDE in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 by guests who booked through this site.

We kindly thank every single one of them. We promise to keep it up!

'The desired residence of the savvy backpacker... This hostel's clean, modern rooms have won it favourable reviews from all quarters.' (Lonely Planet)

****************************************************

This is our 1st wombats, opened in 1999 by Sascha, Marcus and 5 staff members ï¿½ but itï¿½s by no means ï¿½oldï¿½: every single piece of furniture has been replaced at least once, all bathrooms got a complete renovation, the bar and breakfast room a major facelift.

Get to know the place from which the wombats spirit set out for international fame, conquering travellersï¿½ hearts. The sun terrace is the big plus here ï¿½ a brilliant out-door zone during daytime, it turns into bar area in the evening!

****************************************************

PLEASE NOTE: The rates given on this site DO NOT INCLUDE BREAKFAST. An all-you-can-eat continental buffet brekkie costs EUR 3.70. You donï¿½t need to 'reserve' breakfast, just come round to the reception in the morning if you are hungry.

****************************************************

The five reasons why wombats CITY HOSTELS became a destination by their own right:

Best Cleanliness

Unfortunately not something to take for granted in many other hostels, but we do take this seriously: we have won the ï¿½Cleanest Hostel Worldwideï¿½ award. Twice.

Most Amenities

We are centrally located and close to the trains and public transport. All our rooms come with comfy wooden beds, private shower & toilet facilities and lockers for your belongings. Youï¿½ll get a free set of bed linen, a free welcome drink, wifi for free use (in the lobby), a guest kitchen for free use and our self-made free city map with all essential information about the goings-on in town.

We offer an all-you-can-eat breakfast, our lively womBAR serves cheap drinks and food, internet terminals, laundromats, 24 hours reception service and ï¿½ of course ï¿½ no age limit, no curfew, no lockout and no stupid rules.

The Hostel from travellers for travellers

We have travelled the world ourselves ï¿½ so we know from first hand what you are doing and what you expect from us. We care for you and we care for your feedback.

Best social Atmosphere

We make sure that you will feel safe and welcome here. When you have been on the road all day long, seeing sights and walking and walking, itï¿½s cool to have a nice scene at the hostel where you can have some beers, talk and make friends. This will make your stay a memorable one! Many travellers stayed quite a bit longer than primarily intended.

wombats is not dirt cheap

You may find an even cheaper place to crash in town, but none where you get more value for your money.

We are looking forward to welcoming you !

Directions

From Westbahnhof

When you get off the tracks, go into the train station through the entrance called „Mariahilferstraße/Europaplatz“.

Take the escalator/stairs down to the main level of the train station, hold on to the right and take the exit “Mariahilferstraße”. Follow the U3/U6 subway sign to the lower level.

Being in the main hall of the subway take the exit “Äußere Mariahilferstraße” at the very right.

Take the escalator up, follow Mariahilfer Straße until no. 152 (corner Rosinagasse), turn right into Rosinagasse - Grangasse is the second street on the left.

Südbahnhof is partly closed down from DECEMBER 2009 due to construction work!

Please check whether your train arrives at SÜDBAHNHOF or its temporary substitute WIEN MEIDLING!!

From Wien Meidling (replacement train station for Südbahnhof until 2012)

Take the underground line U6 until the stop Westbahnhof. Follow the signs 'Äußere Mariahilferstraße' and walk Mariahilfer Straße until No. 152 (corner Rosinagasse). Take a right turn into Rosinagasse, second street on the left is Grangasse.

From SÜDBAHNHOF

Take tram no. 18 to Westbahnhof. Left of the Westbahnhof train station is Äußere Mariahilfer Straße. Follow Mariahilfer Straße until no. 152 (corner Rosinagasse). Turn right into Rosinagasse - Grangasse is the second street on the left.

From Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof

Take tram 5 to Westbahnhof. Left of the Westbahnhof train station is Äußere Mariahilfer Straße. Follow Mariahilfer Straße until no. 152 (corner Rosinagasse). Turn right into Rosinagasse - Grangasse is the second street on the left.

From the Airport

Most convenient is the shuttle bus to Westbahnhof (7 €, buy ticket from driver). The cheapest option is the S-Bahn to Wien Mitte and subway U3 to Westbahnhof from there (same ticket valid for both, 3.60 €). The 'City Airport Train' (CAT) is a few minutes faster than the S-Bahn, but costs 10 € - it also ends at Wien Mitte, from where you´ll have to catch the U3 underground to Westbahnhof. The CAT ticket is NOT valid for the U3!

Shuttle bus

The bus will drop you off right in front of the main entrance of the train station. Standing in front - Westbahnhof behind you - turn right and walk half way around the train station. That'll lead you to Mariahilfer Straße. Follow Mariahilfer Straße until no. 152 (corner Rosinagasse), turn right into Rosinagasse - Grangasse is the second street on the left.

S-Bahn or CAT and U3

Get off the U3 at Westbahnhof, then take the exit “Äußere Mariahilfer Straße”. Once up there, follow Mariahilfer Straße until no. 152 (corner Rosinagasse), turn right into Rosinagasse - Grangasse is the second street on the left.

Traveller's reviews and ratings

40%

Situation correcte.

Propreté de la chambre correcte. Propreté de la salle de bain correcte mais les toilettes sentaient très mauvais à notre arrivée (et tout au long de notre séjour).

Beaucoup trop de monde dans cette AJ.

Très (trop) bruyant en soirée, nuit et le matin (mais vente de boules quies à l'accueil).

Pas de boissons chaudes en "free accès" en dehors du temps de petit déjeûner.

Internet payant sur postes fixes mais accès Wifi gratuit.

Ascenseur lent et inefficace (pas idéal quand on sait qu'il y a 6 étages).

Seul point vraiment positif, le petit déjeûner tout à fait correct (à volonté et avec pas mal de choix) pour 3,80 euros par personne.
