Space Home Apartment - City Center, hotel in Vienna

Located within a 12-minute walk of Vienna Prater Amusement Park and half a mile of Kunst Haus Wien, Space Home Apartment - City Center has rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Vienna.

Due to the small location, there weren't that many people which is also why the shared bathrooms were really clean for a hostel. The capsules are not sound proof but very spacious and comfortable, and provide reading lights, a safe, a mirror, a TV, headphones, and even a small foldable table. Great stay, would go there again.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The Hostel is safe, clean, comfortable, relaxing, easily reachable by public transport and 5 minutes walks from Schoenbrunn Castle and Gardens!!! The cleaning lady comes everyday! They provide you iron, ironing table, washing machine and laundry service. The Host Sam is always reachable, available, gentle, helpful, serious and honest!!! If you have a very small budget I definitely recommend you to book a stay at ABAI Apartments!

    The hostel was easy to get to from the metro station, there are also trams nearby. Locality seems quite safe, and active even after hours of the day. The hostel is well kept, even the common area, you may even plug in and work peacefully if your on a working holiday, for the digital nomads 😀. The breakfast was a big spread with many options and quality. Overall, I highly recommend if you are looking for a good yet budget friendly accommodation.

    Best hostel I've stayed at yet. Comfortable spacious rooms (with chairs!) and the nightly pay-what-you-can dinner made it super easy to meet other travellers. Met a lot of cool people to explore the city with, and was able to fall asleep at 10pm no problem if I wanted to. If you stay anywhere else in Vienna you're a fool. And cheap beer!

    Great location close to a lot of cool bars and restaurants. Such a cozy lobby where it was nice to hang out both alone and with friends. The hostel bar was AMAZING and I ended up staying there a lot of the nights instead of going out. Great place to meet new people!! Also the people at the reception were so nice and welcoming! Great beds and free lockers. Absolutely the best hostel I've ever been to.
