All 2 bedded rooms have en suite shower/WC and individual beds (no bunks) that can be used separately or combined to make a double bed. Fresh sheets and towels are included. All rooms have free WiFi. A TV set can be rented for a small extra fee. We also have storage space for 25 cars in the basement (small fee).

Climate protection and sustainability were two of the main considerations in the construction of this building.

We also collect rain water for flushing the toilets etc.

We provide free luggage storage on arrival and departure days. We also have a lockable bike shed (free of charge).

The youth staffs are not very helpful. The reason is that, when I was sick in Vienna, I asked help, the attitude of staffs are impatient. Also, I m not good in English, I just a traveller,sometimes I just seek help and ask basic question, but I really felt the staffs have discrimination, especially the girls staffs. Hope they will improve!!!

Very industrial feeling, not much ambiance, but affordable, safe, clean and good breakfast. Don't count on meeting people though, and be prepared to take a lot of public transit because it's not close to anything. There are a lot of school groups and young kids! Not the best place for individual backpackers.

Hostel response:
Dear Rachel, thank you for your comments. Concerning your remarks about the design of our Brigittenau Youth Palace we have to accept that architecture is a question of the personal taste. The hostel itself is exactly where described on www.hihostels.com (20 minutes from city center by tram) and shown on google-maps. And we are very sorry that you had a problem with meeting other people – at the 2 days you stayed with us there were almost 500 other guests staying with us. As it was a weekend there were no school groups staying with us but as we are a youth hostel it’s a matter of fact that we have a lot of young guests too. Best regards from Vienna – HI Brigittenau Youth Palace

The hostel is very neat and clean and energy efficient.All is good about the place except a couple of things. 1. It is not near the centre of town and will take you about 20 minutes at least by tram to reach there and there isn't really much to do around the hostel area. 2. Its more like a hotel than a hostel, doesn't give the cozy feel of HI hostels in general and there isn't much interaction with other travelers.

Brilliant hostel. One of the best I've stayed in for the rooms, facilities etc. It is a little bit out of the centre but very near tram route and under a 10 minute walk away from an underground station. I was very comfortable here and enjoyed my stay. Would stay again and would recommend to others.

Great hostel! Very clean and brand new (at least the part where we stayed). The only thing that can be improved is that the beds are quite hard. The city centre is a bit far but the S-bahn and U-bahn are very easy and cheap.

it was very warm on the room, especially at night because the rooms have been closed all the time
