'Brand-new hostel, immaculate rooms, in-the-know staff' (Let's Go: Europe)

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

State-of-the-art wombats style in an imperial facade dating from 1880 - be where technology meets tradition, and let us meet your expectations! This wombats is situated right on Mariahilfer Strasse, the longest shopping street in Vienna, only 50 meters away from the railway station 'Westbahnhof'. The 'Lounge' is a giant comfort-zone with all standards and extras you need to relax, get informed, communicate, socialize and chill!

The bar is beneath sound-proof brick vaults in the basement, so no noise will keep you from having a good night's sleep.

The Hostel from travellers for travellers

We have travelled the world ourselves - 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, it's 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 traveller 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

The West Station is a mess of construction, with new provisional exits almost every week, so giving exact directions is difficult. For your orientation: when you´re on the platform and walking towards the main hall, we´re exactly on your right hand side. So: try to exit the building in this direction; look for signs with 'Mariahilfer Strasse'. Use the main exit, turn right and on the next street right again: this is Mariahilfer Strasse', we’re on the left side of it, at number 137.

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. We are number 137.

from Südbahnhof

Take tram no. 18 to Westbahnhof. Left of the Westbahnhof train station (the huge construction site in front of you!) is Äussere Mariahilfer Strasse. Follow Mariahilfer Strasse. We are number 137, on the left side.

From Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof

Take tram no. 5 to Westbahnhof. Left of the Westbahnhof train station is Aussere Mariahilfer Strasse. Follow Mariahilfer Strasse until no. 137.

From the Airport

Fastest option: Taxi. Cost: about 35 €.

Most convenient option: the shuttle bus to Westbahnhof (7 €, buy ticket from driver).

Cheapest option: the S-Bahn (S7) to Wien Mitte and from there underground U3 to Westbahnhof (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 (Vienna Airportlines)

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. Look to your left and you can already see the wombat's on the opposite side of the street.

S-Bahn or CAT and U3

Get off the U3 at Westbahnhof, then take the exit 'Aussere Mariahilfer Strasse'. Once up there, continue walking until no. 137 on the left-hand side of the street.

Nice and clean place. Everything you need is here, I agree with what say grégory level atmosphere a little impersonal for my taste but quite pleasant.

Very modern, clean, well equipped hostel (complete, nice bar kitchen) staff very welcoming and good advice (thanks to the young woman whose I not remember the name but whose French is remarkable) only light flat: there is all that need to party and meet people, but everyone is not on his sidethe atmosphere was a little too "clean" myself. But it is a very personal opinion.

This is a good quality/price ratio.

Very welcoming and personal hostel smiling. We were in the dormitories of 6 girls with bathroom; very clean and well maintained. All of the hostel was very good! We will return! I strongly advise to report quality price as well as for the hostel it even!
