About
Jugendgaestehaus Brigittenau &Brigittenau Youth Palace - Vienna
Jugendgaestehaus Brigittenau & Brigittenau Youth Palace sits in Vienna's Brigittenau district, a residential area that guests repeatedly describe as quiet and safe. The hostel runs a 24-hour reception, has a lift, and provides luggage storage, lockers, and key-card access. Rooms range from single-sex four-bed dorms to budget doubles and twins; many include a balcony, and a private bathroom option exists. Public transport is the standout feature — the nearest tram stop is a short walk, and the airport train station is easily reached, making it a practical base for exploring the city.
Breakfast is the other consistent highlight: a buffet with both savory and sweet choices, fresh fruit, and cheese, mentioned in review after review. The property also has a restaurant serving lunch and dinner at extra cost, vending machines, a garden with furniture, a sun terrace, and a leisure/TV room. For families, cots and board games are available. On-site parking exists but details aren't specified in the source material, so availability should be confirmed before arrival.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
5 reasons to book- Breakfast that guests rave about — The buffet consistently earns praise for variety, freshness, and the mix of savory and sweet choices — fresh fruit and good cheese get specific mentions.
- Excellent public transport links — A tram station is about a 3-minute walk, and the airport train station is close. Both bus and metro are nearby, making the city center roughly 20 minutes away.
- Clean, comfortable rooms — Guests repeatedly note tidy rooms, comfortable beds, and modern, fresh-feeling spaces. Some dorms and doubles come with a balcony.
- Friendly and helpful staff — The 24-hour reception team is described as polite, professional, and accommodating — including handling a room change without issue.
- Good value for the price — At the listed rate, guests feel they get a lot — clean rooms, breakfast, wifi, and transport access all included.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Some rooms may lack private bathrooms — The 4-bed dorms and the budget double share bathroom facilities; only the Private Bathroom Twin Room has an ensuite. This can be a drawback if you prefer privacy.
- Smoke smell reported in one room — A single review mentions a stuffy, smoke-filled room, which suggests occasional housekeeping oversights. It's an outlier, but worth knowing if you're sensitive.
- No pets allowed — The policy clearly states pets are not permitted, so you'll need to make other arrangements for your animal.
- Check-in ends at midnight — Reception is 24-hour, but check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:59. Late arrivals after midnight are not officially catered for.
