The room was very clean, the food you can get there is very good, but the best part is the staff, they really try to make your stay there as good as possible. If I ever come back to Vienna I will come to them.

Homely and welcoming atmosphere. Shared space looks cute and cozy. Everything was clean. Breakfast was delicious.
I didn’t know that I don’t need to pay for dinner except a bit tip. I’m so sorry that I missed the chance.

The staff was very friendly and they were helpful and accommodating. Our need to store our bicycles while we were there.
The room was pretty small and it could be difficult to use the shower since the showerhead wouldn’t turn the right way

Great hostel atmosphere, daily activities in the evenings to meet new people, nice piano next to the bar: I had a fantastic stay. Also really nice that my locker had a power socket to charge my laptop. (not all have them I guess though)

Bar, dinner, breakfast and social atmosphere. Clean & secure rooms.
Locals in the area were boring and somewhat unfriendly. Maybe they need some more sunshine. Local restaurants were OK at best. Hostel was clean and the staff worked hard.

I stayed in a beautifully decorated and very spacious en-suite room, with plants (!). The street was very quiet. Hardly ever encountered such value for money.

Very Poor
The hostel has a lively, social atmosphere and I met many great people during my stay. The facilities are comfortable and well maintained, and I appreciated the community vibe overall.
Unfortunately, my experience with management was disappointing. When I asked if the booking rate could be matched, the manager Juan told me that having me as a guest meant they were “losing a lot of money.” He made several other comments that made me feel unwelcome during my stay and asked me to pay for new towels and misplaced keycards despite being a long term guest. The last comment made me feel particularly unwelcome, and I decided to leave earlier than planned. I even considered rebooking, but when I returned the following evening just to share a drink with friends, management told me I couldn’t visit. After that, I no longer felt comfortable coming back.

Very Poor
I stayed at Hostel Ruthensteiner for several weeks. While most of the staff were kind and the community atmosphere was positive, my experience with the operating manager, Juan, was deeply disappointing.
On multiple occasions he told me I was “annoying,” said “you need something what else is new” when I made basic requests, and even told me I was “costing him a lot of money being here.” When I booked a private room for a friend, he remarked twice that if she was “annoying or picky” he would ask her to leave.
I also only ever asked for the Booking.com rate after Juan encouraged me to book directly with the hostel. Despite paying full price for most of my stay (including an apartment at €116/night), I was made to feel like a burden for asking for a fair rate.
As a guest who spent a considerable amount of money here, I expected to be treated with basic respect. Because of these experiences, I would not stay here again or recommend it, despite the otherwise nice environment.

I was surprised at how lovely and well-decorated (and spacious!) my room was for the price. Had everything I needed including fan and kitchen utensils etc. Every member of staff I met was so friendly and helpful. There is a nice atmosphere. Very conveniently located by Westbahnhof.

I absolutely love this hostel. It’s one of my favorite ever. It feels homey, welcoming, warm. Breakfast is great. Employees are so kind. Facilities are great. I love when people play music and the free lemonade. I will definitely stay here again.
Street can be a bit sketch at night.
