Vienna’s hostels are spread across the city, but you'll find key clusters near Westbahnhof, Hauptbahnhof, and Praterstern, all with easy metro access. The best-rated options, like Vienna Boutique - Premium Hostel (rating 9.2) and Vienna Hostel Ruthensteiner (rating 8.9), offer a mix of social atmospheres, gardens, and privacy curtains. For a truly social base with a rooftop and views over the city, Jo&Joe Vienna sits right next to Westbahnhof, while Wombat’s City Hostel Vienna Naschmarkt offers a lively bar and free walking tours for those wanting to meet people. Whether you prioritize a central location, a quiet garden, or a party vibe, there's a hostel here to match.
The most budget-friendly hostel in our selection is A&T Hotel & Hostel - Vienna, with prices starting at €12 per night. Several other hostels, like Do Step Inn Home - Hotel & Hostel and Nest Natur Hostel - Vienna, also offer beds for under €20, making a stay in Vienna surprisingly affordable.
For solo travelers looking to meet people, hostels like Wombat's City Hostel Vienna Naschmarkt and St Christopher's Inn Vienna are especially sociable, with lively bars and free walking tours. If you prefer a bit more privacy, consider Vienna Boutique - Premium Hostel, which offers cozy lounges and a relaxed atmosphere. All are well-located for exploring the city alone.
For a first visit, staying near the historic center is ideal. Look for hostels in Neubau, like Jugendherberge Wien - Myrthengasse, or around the Naschmarkt, like Wombat’s City Hostel Vienna Naschmarkt. These areas are central, well-connected by tram and metro, and within walking distance of many top sights.
Vienna is a year-round destination, but it's especially busy during the Christmas markets (late November to late December) and in the summer months. For the best availability and prices, book at least a month in advance for those peak times. Outside of these periods, you can usually find a bed with a few weeks' notice.
Vienna’s hostel scene is as varied as the city itself. You'll find social hostels with rooftop bars and lively atmospheres, quiet gardens with hammocks, and modern capsule-style pods for those who want a bit more privacy. Most are clustered around the main transport hubs—Westbahnhof, Hauptbahnhof, and Praterstern—making it easy to explore the city without needing a car, and several are right beside metro stations.
Prices here are genuinely friendly to backpackers and city-breakers alike. A bed in a dorm can cost as little as €12 per night, while more premium hostels with private rooms and hotel-like amenities might ask for around €400 for a night's stay. Whether you're looking for a social hub to meet other travelers or a peaceful spot to rest after a day of sightseeing, this selection has something for you.
This set of hostels in Vienna suits anyone who wants the social, budget-friendly, and often more characterful experience that hostels provide—from solo backpackers to groups of friends. If you need a quiet, private space, a car park, or specific hotel amenities like a pool or gym, you might be better served by the conventional hotels in Vienna, perhaps one of the city's 3-star or 4-star hotels. For those traveling with family or pets, dedicated family-friendly or pet-friendly hotel pages will offer more suitable options.
