Reviews for HappyHostel
Review 1：When we entered the hostel, there was no one at the reception. A bit drunk suspicious looking guy was smoking a cigarette inside the hostel's hall, he was able to enter because the door is not closed. First impression is a place for homeless... To reach the reception we crossed the street and rang a bell. Luckily the receptionist appeared soon. She gave us an apartment on the first floor. It smelled like trash zone with cockroaches, looked untidy. But we checked in late night and had to stay there. Next morning we were not able to connect to wifi, it didn't work. Around the place there are lots of other options to spend the night in Vienna for the same money. It was said in confirmation that payment can be made by credit cards, but they charge 2% more to cover bank fees. Not recommended.
Review 2：We came to Wien for three days stay after Christmas. Location is fair, just a walk distance from westbahnhof with easy access to the bus no 7 till the airport and other trains departing from this train station. Hostel is at the backyards of pedestrians street with fast food restaurants. We were three of us, and we got two room apartment with own kitchen. There were one double size bed and a coach in the main room and two twin beds in a small one. Bed sheets were clean, apartment was spacious.
Review 3：The room is on the level of pavement and window is to the street - the air in the room smelt bad and it was not possibility to ventilate...There is no soap and only one small towel...
Review 4：Hostel is close to Westbahnhof, U-bahn, close to center, the kitchen is well equipped even the glasses, cups and plates are from flea market probably. There is microwave oven, cooker, kettle. You can leave your luggage in hostel after leaving room. Very calm place!
Review 5：Bed was uncomfortable. Bedding was weirdly small - blankets were so small (almost like a baby blanket size) I needed two of them. The heater was really noisy and kept waiking me up at night.
Review 6：The staff was very friendly. The hostel is very easy to find, just a couple of minutes walk from the West Station ( Westbahnhof). The studio I rented was like a mini-apartment , with a kitchen, cutlery & crockery.
Review 7：Where do I start...? Booked a double room but got single, because "why would I need a double bed if I'm on my own?!". The gentleman said he'd loose money if he gave me the other room and only changed it after I called booking.com. The new room was not very clean, only half of the bed had linen, there was a TV but all the channels were "snowy", the building was being refurbished so lots of noise and draft, breakfast portions were different depending on who was serving it and the place was dark and old, not much to do with the word "happy". I would definitely not come back there.
Review 8：Very close to the Westbahnhof and City Centre
Review 9：The place looks shabby even for a hostel. Hopefully it will be better after the renovation (now in progress).
Review 10：Less than 10 minutes from Westbahnhof, great starting place for walking along Mariahilfer Str. Clean. Friendly staff. 4 euro breakfast cost goes for help for Africa.
Review 11：pillow and bed linen need to be changed, hot water was heated by a gas heater, thus it failed sometimes
Review 12：the size of apartment and kitchen with fridge and stove top
Review 13：Price per night can be lower.
Review 14：Clean apartment and toilet. In the city centre. Perfect location. We would come back here again :) Many vegans stores and restaurants in this area
Review 15：It is under construction. If you don't mind the day time noises it should not be a problem, You get the basics. No frills.
Review 16：The owner "Dave" went out of his way to take care of us. He is totally an awesome dude. Ingrid is another staff member that gives 110%
Review 17：The location is very strategic. It is close to metro and railway train stations. Restaurants and shops are a stone throw away. The staff are accommodating and exerting effort to grant your request. The wifi connection is good as well.
Review 18：I knew the bathroom was shared, but the room also lacked a sink. From 7:15 a.m., construction noise in the hotel made further sleep impossible.
Review 19：Proximity to Westbahnhof and its U-Bahn and tram stations. Low room price. Helpful hotel manager. Strong wifi. Room on courtyard that was quite silent until 7:15 a.m. Good work table in room. Three chairs.
Review 20：It didn't matter much overall but The decor was a bit dated and the shower wasn't always really warm.
Review 21：The location of the hostel was fantastic. Five min walk to the best shopping street, mariehilfer St. A train station, tram stops, bus station and subway within a five minute walk. Wifi was good. Very clean. Staff were lovely, especially the two younger ladies! :)
Review 22：No wifi in the room...Although there are a lot of place to offer free wifi in Vienna, it is still inconvenient that no wifi in the room.
Review 23：The loacation is near by west station and it is convenient. My room is in other building and it is independent apartment style to enjoy privacy and it is quiet. The host is cordial and willing to help. He possess passion to introduce lots of useful information to me.
Review 24：- not very clean If you're travelling with a family, then it's not a place for you.
Review 25：- location - price - price / quality ratio Overall - as in the title. If you're searching for a cheap place with basic features, then a good choice.
Review 26：The online description of the way to get there was more confusing than helpful. I found Happy Hostel in a very roundabout way, but fortunately I found it!
Review 27：The space, the old-style comfort. The friendlyness of the staff.
Review 28：There was no lift (and my room was on the 3rd floor). The bathroom I had to share wasn't as clean as I would like it to be but, in any case it was decent. The Wi-Fi was too difficult to Access on the 3rd floor.
Review 29：Franz was friendly and helpful. The location was excellent (only a 5-minute walk to Westbanhoff and still a quiet neighbourhood.
Review 30：My room was on the first floor, street level. It is difficult to air it since anyone can climb through the window. Perhaps it needs to be aired up more during the cleaning.
Review 31：breakfast only available from 8am, meant I paid but did not get to have that coffee... No soap in the bathroom..
Review 32：Room was huge and quite OK, not modern but quite adequate. Ground floor - the room was rather cool, since the heating was not yet on.
Review 33：My room is old and needs maintenance and new furniture. The price is too high (49 Euro including breakfast)
Review 34：The location is easy to reach by train or public transport, since it is located near the Westbahnhof. No credit card needed to reserve a room
Review 35：We booked a room for 4 people and we got a full equiped apartment for the price. It was about 2 minutes walk from Westbahnhof where you can get coffee even on Sunday. We can't have a bad word for the hostel.
Review 36：Bring your own soap and shampoo, otherwise you'll have to use Fairy Ultra from the kitchen! :-) No lift if you come with heavy luggage...
Review 37：The receptionist was very helpful and brought my luggage to the room, as there is no lift and the stairs are quite steep.
Review 38：Location is a little bit far away from main touristic spots, however it was close to the metro.
Review 39：The apartment was great and very confortable. A lot of space and the ratio quality-price is excellent. Staff was very friendly and helpfull.
Review 40：booked on very short notice and there was a mistake in the booking system, my room wasn't available anymore. but the staff made great effort to give me a similar room (it was an even bigger one!), they were so friendly and helpful! Clean room, clean shared bath and toilet, kitchen was ok - but I didn't need it anyway. Good hostel to explore the pub around the corner (called Känguruh) as there's lots of beer to tast and it's not to far to bed :)
Review 41：Room was dated and had a strange smell.
Review 42：Size of the room was good, kitchen was fairly well equipped with the basics for cooking, close to a supermarket. Good budget friendly accommodation. Quick walk to the Main Street with all the shops and close to wein westbahnhof.
Review 43：It said "double room", so I hoped for 2 beds, but got one double bed, which is a minus when traveling with a friend. Also towels weren't included in the rent.
Review 44：For a small price we got whole apartment: spacious bedroom (with bed, couch, TV, etc), kitchen, bathroom and toilet. Good table for work or eating. Well English speaking staff.
