7.3Verified guest“My earlier stay in Vienna was good, but this time Dormitory exceeded expectations. The location was perfect, close to the center and tram stops. The staff gave me a map and detailed recommendations. The clean room had a desk, just what I needed.”
7.3Verified guest“I spent a few nights at this budget place in a central location. The bed was comfortable, the room had ample space for two, and the sink was handy for morning and nightly routines. Shared showers had plenty of hot water and were roomy. Shared toilets were clean. Common areas were large, and the room had nice furniture and a wooden desk. Self-check-in was easy, and the tram made the center and attractions accessible.”
