Our Honest Take
From the Hostelpedia team. No BS, just real advice
Myrthengasse is the sensible choice, and that's not an insult. The breakfast alone justifies the โฌ26/night โ it's hotel-quality with dietary options, which saves you โฌ8-12/day on morning meals. The Neubau location is the same excellent district as Boutique Premium, but the vibe is more classic hostel than boutique hotel. The pool table and game room provide social opportunities, though it's less programmed than Wombat's or Ruthensteiner. Pick this if you want a reliable base with a great breakfast, clean rooms, and no surprises. Skip it if you want garden BBQs and bar crawls.
๐ฏ Insider Tips
- 1Book breakfast-included rates โ the buffet is the best in Vienna's hostel scene and saves you โฌ8+ daily.
- 2Request a room away from Myrthengasse street side โ quieter rooms face the inner courtyard.
- 3MuseumsQuartier is 10 minutes on foot โ go on Thursday evenings when museums have extended hours.
- 4The game room and pool table are the main social spots โ evenings get lively there.

๐ The Full Story
Myrthengasse is the Hostelling International flagship in Vienna, and it shows in the way it's run: everything works, nothing is improvised, and the breakfast buffet is genuinely impressive for hostel prices. Continental spread with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, proper coffee, and a breakfast-to-go option if you're heading out early.
The hostel sits on a quiet street in Neubau, the same 7th district as Boutique Premium. The MuseumsQuartier is a 10-minute walk, Parliament and City Hall are within 20 minutes on foot. The neighborhood has its own cafรฉ culture without the Innere Stadt tourist markup.
Common areas include a pool table, game room, shared lounge with TV, and a restaurant for meals beyond breakfast. It's more institutional than Ruthensteiner's garden vibe or Boutique Premium's design aesthetic, but the trade-off is rock-solid reliability: 5,100+ reviews, 8.2 rating, 24-hour reception, and a structure that handles groups, solo travelers, and families without chaos.
