Hidden tiny Vietnamese place just 3 minutes from the Hostel on the way to Schönbrunn Palace. Simple, but good streetfood cousine and cheap prices. YUMM!

Hostel Ruthensteiner there are 2 good jazz clubs here in vienna! maybe check the websites for the programme as the concerts often sell out quickly, especially at the porgy and bess (http://www.porgy.at/e-index.html)...the other one is the jazzland (they dont have a presale though, http://www.jazzland.at/e_index.htm)...i'm sure at the reception we can help you find your thing!!

Landed at Hostel Ruthensteiner. It's quite lovely. Quite a switch from Le Méridien Vienna, but this is definitely more my speed. I recommend it if you're looking for a hostel in Vienna. Very clean, friendly, well-organized, outdoor patio, bike rentals, free lockers, wifi, etc.

Definitely the best hostel I've ever been to, every time I'm in Vienna I stay here --- a nicer, friendlier, more beautiful hostel you won't find :)) that garden is heaven!

Hostel Ruthensteiner Thank you, Kristina!!! Please come again very soon! The fragrant viburnum and the lovely spring flowers are just beginning to bloom! The magnolia that we all love so much is not far behind.
