Top Hostels in Austria
Vienna Boutique - Premium Hostel
Vienna
The highest-rated hostel in Vienna at 9.3, tucked into Neubau's creative 7th district. Small, spotless, and deliberately quiet — more design hotel than party hostel, with curated art on the walls and privacy curtains on every bunk.
Vienna Hostel Ruthensteiner
Vienna
A Vienna institution since 1968, Ruthensteiner has the garden courtyard, BBQ nights, live music, stand-up comedy, and a shared kitchen that make it the social heart of Vienna's hostel scene. Five minutes from Westbahnhof, well-connected to everything.
Wombat's City Hostel Vienna Naschmarkt
Vienna
Vienna's biggest hostel brand, right at the Naschmarkt food market. 6,600+ reviews, a solid bar with karaoke and live music nights, a shared kitchen, and adults-only policy keep it social but manageable. The historic Wienzeile façade hides a modern interior.
Stadtaffe - Chic Hostel VIE
Vienna
Stadtaffe sits in Ottakring near the Brunnenmarkt and Yppenplatz bar scene. Self-check-in, a well-equipped shared kitchen, garden with terrace, and a picnic area make it feel more like a well-run shared apartment than a traditional hostel. Excellent value at €20/night.
JO&JOE Vienna
Vienna
The Accor group's hostel brand brings hotel-level polish to the hostel format. Two on-site restaurants, a sun deck with garden, billiard table, stand-up comedy, walking tours, and a shared kitchen. Right at Europaplatz next to Westbahnhof with a 9.2 location score.
Jugendherberge Wien - Myrthengasse
Vienna
The HI (Hostelling International) flagship in Vienna. Classic institutional hostel with the best breakfast buffet in the city, a pool table, game room, and 24-hour reception. Clean, well-run, and centrally located in Neubau near the MuseumsQuartier.
St Christopher's Inn Vienna
Vienna
The well-known UK hostel chain's Vienna outpost, steps from Hauptbahnhof (main train station). In-house Belushi's bar with happy hours, live sports, walking tours, and a continental breakfast. Nearly 7,000 reviews make it Vienna's most-reviewed hostel overall.
Westend City Hostel
Vienna
A renovated 1876 building on Mariahilfer Straße's doorstep, 5 minutes from Westbahnhof. Private parking, garden, bar crawl events, and a playground make it family-friendly yet social. Budget-friendly at €20/night in one of Vienna's best-connected locations.
