Vienna Part 2

For accommodation in Vienna, I think Wombat is a budget traveller’s dream come true in terms of value-for-money and accessibility.



When booked way in advanced, this hostel costs you no more than 20 euros per night. Check with the Wombat website or log in to HostelWorld for easy booking.

Right smacked on Mariahilfer Strasse (the street leading to the town centre, also the “Orchard Road” of Vienna), I was a good 30-minute walk away from Ringstrasse, where most tourist attractions were located.




There are 2 Wombats in Vienna. The Base and the one-year-old, The Lounge. Located a stone throw from each other, these two hostels are almost identical. Just that the Lounge is nearer the train station.



I stayed in a room for four, named Princess Suite or something, painted cream, yellow and lavender. It was a unique room in the top floor of the hostel, with a slanted roof that looked out to white sky and tiled roofs.



A piece of advice, never leave your valuables in the locker as the staff are able to open it at will. My whole bag of cash was confiscated when the hostel staff made a mistake in locker allocation. That pissed me off BIG TIME. (Not to mention how freaked out I was!) If only my German were near any comprehension.. I'd have @##$%% the staff.

Now that I'd found a place to stay, I was all ready to explore Vienna...
