Looking a place to spend night or few in Vienna? I recommend Wombat's Hostel - The Base. Nice clean rooms, warm atmosphere, and crazy bar. It's the best place to meet other travelers like You from all around the world.

If you're looking for something else for a change when visiting Vienna, you might want to consider a stay at the Austria Trend Event Hotel Pyramide in Wien Vösendorf. It is a 4-star hotel with a wonderful tropical swimming pool inside (and outside) a large pyramid structure. There are also inside tennis courts and other sportive activities.

Also a great place for your conference or business meetings!
