BeFree Hostel

das Selbstfunktionierende hostel ist an sich eine gute idee, nur leider mittelmäßig umgesetzt. zu viele qr codes, 2x einfach generell nicht geklappt. sonst top

No reception staff. Have to use a QR code that doesn’t work, so you have to walk down the street to ask the office to print one out. The QR codes are just clunky and take ages to scan. The showers do not have brackets “to save water” - that is to make the shower so awkward to use you don’t stay in it. The colours are garish. The two person room feels like a prison cell. The whole thing feels so soulless and depressing. The combination of no staff and CCTV make it feel dystopian. Don’t ...

There’s no staff at the property, which lets other people scream and slam doors at 1am unchecked. This leads to more people feel okay making noise.

The location is not ideal when coming from Wien Hauptbanhof. The ambiance was really humid but as we were staying only for 1 night, it was okay. The doors are all lockable but the luggage lockroom was in bad shape.

Relación calidad-precio muy buena. Muy buen sistema de acceso tanto al edificio como a las habitaciones mediante un QR unificado. La cocina es bastante completa. Buena ubicación cerca de la línea U3 y de paradas de tranvía. Cosas para mejorar: Poder regular la temperatura de la calefacción (si se puede no lo sé) y poner cortinas en las ventanas de las habitaciones que no tengan, ya que a primera hora ya entra mucha luz y hay que poner toallas o algún tejido opaco para que no moleste.

great place and great value!

Incredibly high price for virtually no facilities. Shared bathrooms were dirty and stank - sadly there was one opposite our room and people kept leaving the door open. The soap dispenser was empty and not all the bathrooms had a hand dryer. The QR code method is quite frustrating and fails a lot. The complete lack of staff feels like it could be a safety issue for some travellers. Out of the last few hostels I've stayed in this was clearly the worst - and the most expensive!

One staff member kicked me out of their empty bar because I didn't by a drink and so I had to sit in the sweltering bedroom to work, which was very uncomfortable and the fact I had to be kicked out felt unreasonable considering I'm paying to stay at the hostel
