This place was way better than what I expected for what I paid. It was totally inexpensive, the rooms were the best I've seen around. The breakfast, though not included, was quite inexpensive and awesome. I'm gonna try and stay at Meininger again wherever there.

This hostel is only for those who don't want to experience the nightlife of Vienna. If you like to go to bed early and get up early then this is definitely the place for you. The hostel mis-represented itself in advertising, it said it takes anyone, this is not true. It is only for families, school trips and people who like to get lots of sleep on holiday

The hostel itself was lovely, brand new and basically felt like a travellodge or similar that you would get in the UK. The 5 bed dorm I was in was exceptionally clean as was the en-suite shower room, WC and bed linen. Breakfasts were lovely each morning. On the bad side though, when I checked in there was an error made and I was initially charged too much (double what I was expecting!) and it took most of the afternoon to sort it out. Staff were nice but not particularly concerned with sorting things out quickly and efficiently - the manager insisted in instructing a young member of staff to carry out the refund to my card when he could have done it in a quarter of the time. Also, I had booked into and paid for a minidorm for four people but ended up in a dorm with 5 in total (which again should have cost me less but didn't)
