About
Palace Hostel Vienna
Palace Hostel Vienna sits on the western edge of the city, about 300 metres from Schloss Wilhelminenberg. The setting is unusually calm for a hostel: a large garden surrounds the building, and the nearby recreational area 'In der Rose' and Steinhof Park offer easy walks. Guests consistently mention the view over Vienna as a highlight, with Schonbrunn Palace visible in the distance.
The hostel provides free Wi-Fi, a game room, and baggage storage, and it is a non-smoking property. Check-in runs from 15:00 to 21:00 and check-out from 07:00 to 10:00. Pets are not allowed. Breakfast is a bio (organic) affair, served with a wide variety of healthy options, and staff are often praised for their local tips and warm service.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Outside the city centre — The hostel is on the western edge of Vienna, so reaching the historic core takes a bit longer, though the bus and metro connections are easy.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — If you travel with an animal, this is not the place.
- Rating below area average — With a 7.7 score versus the area average of 8.3, the hostel is decent but not the top pick in Vienna.

The bottom line
A calm, green escape with a view that compensates for the extra travel time. Best for budget travellers who value scenery, gardens, and a filling organic breakfast over being steps from the centre.
7.7Worth it for the views and the garden, if you don't mind the commute.
