Ruthensteiner is an excellent choice for travelers looking for a friendly and clean environment. The hostel has a charming atmosphere, perfect for meeting new people. The private rooms are a tad small but serve their purpose well. However, the only downside is that the hostel can get a bit crowded at times. Overall, it offers fantastic value for money, especially with the amenities available.

My stay at this hostel was absolutely fantastic! It's clean, cozy, and offers a fun atmosphere perfect for solo travelers. I loved how friendly everyone was and how easy it was to meet new people during the various events like bar crawls and quiz nights. Breakfast was a delicious highlight with waffles included. However, I wish there were a few more common areas to relax in, but overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Vienna.

This hostel is an incredible spot that's vibrant and full of life! The staff and events create a lively atmosphere, making it easy to connect with others. The location is central, close to shops and restaurants, but the facilities, while well-maintained, show signs of age. The breakfast is typical for a hostel, and dinners are a unique treat, prepared by the staff, though nothing extravagant.

I had such a great time at this hostel! The relaxed vibe made it easy to meet new people, and I loved the volunteer dinners where you pay what you want. The only downside was the waiting for the one shower in our 10-bed dorm, but overall, it was an awesome experience I would highly recommend.

I had a mixed experience at the hostel. The location isn't ideal for accessing Vienna's attractions, and I faced some cleanliness issues in the room. However, the staff was very helpful with local tips, and the communal showers were clean. The breakfast offered a great variety, which I appreciated. Overall, it wasn’t the best value for what I expected.
