Rooms range from 17 to 19 m². Private rooms have en-suite bathrooms with a shower and toilet. Dormitories have shared bathrooms within the room. Bunk beds are provided in some rooms, with bed linen included for self-covering. There is no air conditioning and windows open only a small amount, making rooms very hot in summer. Some rooms face the street and can be noisy, especially on lower floors. Rooms have heating, a flat-screen TV, and parquet flooring. Sound insulation between rooms and corridors is poor; noise from the lobby and hallway can be heard. Cleanliness has been inconsistent, with some rooms noted as dusty or with dirty carpets. Family rooms can be tight for four people.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Choose a private room if shared dormitories are not suitable, as mixed-gender rooms are standard and bed bugs have been noted in some dorms.

  • 02

    Request a room on a higher floor and away from the main entrance to minimize noise from the street and lobby.

  • 03

    Book parking in advance, as on-site spaces require a reservation and cost €20 per day.

  • 04

    Use the Südtirolerplatz Metro stop (U1 line) for fast access to the city centre and Saint Stephen's Cathedral in under 10 minutes.
