I loved this hostel! It definitely tied with my other favorite on my backpacking trip around…read moreEurope, the Wine Hostel in Porto, Portugal. This hostel was a little ways away from the metro (across the Danube and down a block or so), which tended to put me off in other places, but it actually landed the hostel in such a perfect location of great restaurants and quiet streets that I really didn't mind. The place is modern, clean, the staff is friendly, and the rooms are awesome. Granted, our room looked a bit like a tornado hit it, but that's due to crappy room mates, not the cleaning staff of MEININGER Franz. Anyways, those roommates checked out so the remaining roomies declared what was ours, we tossed the rest in the trash, and it was gone that evening. Problem solved and we were all happier for it. The ensuite bathrooms were awesome! There was a toilet and sink room, and then a shower and sink room opposite. That really came in handy, so I would definitely stay at MEININGER's going forward for that addition alone. It's just nice to do your hair and brush your teeth while another person is showering, the morning routine doesn't have to stop. The bunks were super comfortable. I was out like a light. The sheets are fresh and clean, and outlets and lights are available at every bunk. The common room was great! After a long day of walking all over Vienna and visiting museums (which are at the very closest about a mile away from the hostel, so get a metro pass and take advantage of it; believe me, you'll be doing PLENTY of walking even taking the metro to each stop), my group ordered some beers and chilled downstairs. A guy around our age asked if he could drink with us, which, of course!! He was from just outside Barcelona and we talked of our travels, and then an Australian woman piped up so we called her over, and a pit stop to our dorm room revealed a guy fresh in from Montreal, so he came down and joined our group. It was so wonderful! All these strangers from around the world just traveling, gathering to share a drink in the common room of a hotel/hostel in Vienna, Austria: it's what backpacking is all about. It was so great! The next morning the breakfast spread was very large and plentiful, so if you eat a lot, maybe it's worth it. It was Sunday and a lot of places in Europe don't open on Sunday, so our options were limited and we paid what we considered too much for the Breakfast. We say it was too much because my group are not big breakfast eaters. We just don't need a lot early in the day, a bowl of cereal or granola bar usually does is just fine, so €6,90 for breakfast kind of sucked. But it was good, I'll give them that. And, as is tradition, when we checked out and didn't have to catch our flight until later that afternoon, MEININGER Franz locked up our luggage for us so we could continue to wander Vienna without our backpacks. I loved this place. I didn't book it, my sister did, and I remember thinking it was a bit expensive, but it was totally worth it. So totally worth it. I have a friend going to Vienna next year and I raved about this place and said she would absolutely love it, it's right up her style. You feel safe, clean, and also like you can just start talking to anyone in the common room and not get weird looks like you would maybe in a hotel in The States. It's so wonderful; like I said, I'll be staying in these places again!

It feels like a very upscale hotel with the bustling sidewalk restaurants, the gorgeous horse in the lobby (stuffed), and the fabulous rooms. Not to mention the pool! WOW! This rooftop pool has a spectacular view and lots of lounges, and even bar service. The water could have been warmer for me but it felt great after very HOT days. The breakfast was worth every extra penny (try to get your rate to include it as it was 35 Euro). So much interesting food on the buffet, but incredible made to order options too. I had dinner in Limon on my last night and it was so delicious. I wish I had ordered the truffle cheese pasta as I saw them make it in front of many guests but I had the lobster spaghetti which was incredible. Overall, this was a fabulous stay.

Deluxe rooms have views of St. Stephens Cathedral (or so they say but I'll never know). I had several email communications with this hotel asking questions, then booked directly with them and final email communication right before we left to DOUBLE CONFIRM my reservation. We arrived at 1pm and were told our room wasn't ready. Returned at 2pm to a busy reception. We were given a room key and headed to our room. First "uh oh" sign the hallway has an old dull feel and the carpet dirty/not vacuumed. When I opened the door I was shocked to see a depressing tiny room with debri on this carpet as well. Went downstairs explaining there must be a mistake I booked a deluxe room. I knew exactly what I booked according to their website, emails and I had my paper confirmation with room type on it. I was told there were no more deluxe rooms available WOW!! I explained I booked a DELUXE room 7 months ago and cannot stay in that (horrific) room for 8 days AND confirmed my booking just days ago. So I was given a "prestige" room. The room is bigger than deluxe room BUT I did not like or want this type room plus it has an open concept style bathroom that I DID NOT want or I would have booked that damm room (not that I would have gotten it!) but since they gave my room away I booked 7 months ago and didn't honor, it was this room or the depressing room they tried to dump on me (and would have overcharged me for if I didn't know the room types). So we enter this "prestige" room the carpet and the table has debri all over and it feels dark, worn, bed is soft and the pillows are so flat you can literally fold it three times AND it's an open style bathroom. It took 2 days for them to clean the table and vacuum the floor! This hotel is not a 4 star luxury hotel and is way to expensive for what you get. When I travel I do rely on reviews for my decision but this one I got burned. The only positives for this hotel is location and WiFi. With all the good reviews for this hotel they must have booked years in advance and got the great rooms boasted about.

We were just spending two nights in this area to be able to explore Vienna for one day, and because…read moreit was a last-minute decision we were dealing with last-minute hotel reservation rates. This hotel was the best price for the listed amenities and location. It's an older building, though the suite bathrooms had been renovated, and in the light of day it looked beautiful despite what it lacked in comfort. First of all, there was somehow a miscommunication about them needing to make up the second bed for me to sleep in, and when my mom addressed it at checkout, the lady at the desk got very frustrated and defensive. Not sure how the miscommunication happened, but not very good customer service to respond that way after a misunderstanding. Because there weren't even pillows or a sheet for me to use on the sofa bed, I had to share the other bed with my parents. The other thing less ideal about this stay was that we needed to keep the windows open at night to let airflow through, but as the hotel was right next to a main road, we could hear cars loudly passing throughout the night. I also don't know if I should have reasonably expected screens on windows anywhere here, but this room didn't have any and there was a concern that small animals might enter from the balcony. We were also disappointed to find that the hotel bar was closed on a Friday night, when the hours were listed as closing an hour later. If the hotel doesn't have enough people on a Friday night in September to keep the bar open, I guess that's an indication of its popularity. I will say that the complimentary breakfast was the best I've had in any hotel, and the servers were very friendly in the dining area. I did also enjoy the views of the surrounding area, and the conscious eco-friendly choices they made for the suites. Fine spot to stay short-term if you're okay with using earplugs.

The hotel has been around since 1881, and it does have some historic charm. The room was a little basic, very traditional, and quite large. The room didn't seem to have A/C and we were a bit warm, but the room cooled down when we opened the windows overnight. Breakfast in the morning was simple but nice - it had quite a bit of variety. And service at the hotel was really nice - everyone was very friendly. (I left my iPad at the hotel and called the hotel - they were really great about it: they went back up to the room to get it for me and held it at the front desk until I could make it back to the hotel. I really appreciated it.) The hotel doesn't have much parking, but the lovely staff at the check in desk when we arrived let us know where we could park outside the hotel. The location isn't in town - just a short drive away - but the location of the hotel is wonderful - it has a view of castle ruins on the hill above across the street.
