JO&JOE Vienna Reviews

Amazing view!!Very good location! Quite clean and quiet at night! But no hairdryer in the morning so that I can’t dry my hair before check out at10.

For the price and pitch of the accommodation, there’s too much that this “luxury hostel” gets wrong. It is a great location and being located in an IKEA is really unique and fun. The rooftop bar is exceptional. However, charging a “small fee” for bag storage is uncommon for guests of hotels and hostels - their fee of 6 euros for just 4 hours (more if you want longer) is extortionate when you think of all the people who use it. The rooms themselves look great but they have two giant lights which are very bright and easily disturb those sleeping on the top (open to the expansive roof) bunks if someone turns it on in the early morning. A flat sheet for the vinyl mattress that barely fits and easily slips off. No towel included and no fan for the showers so it quickly fills with condensation. The hooks to hang your clothes on have a giant knob that doesn’t fit the loop on most items. The kitchen doesn’t have cooking facilities, which is not a dealbreaker, but they only provide knives as cutlery. It’s all these tiny things unfortunately that accumulated and made it really inconvenient for an avid backpacker. This place is definitely more suited to young Europeans on a weekend trip from Copenhagen who are happy to pay for everything extra without thinking, but as someone living out of their backpack on a round-the-world trip, I sadly found it a very impractical stay.

The concept of the hostel was great, as were the common areas and the staff were great, very friendly and chatty. However, with this in mind, the hostel also feels very corporate with the extra charges such as €20 for checkout after 10 and lugagge storage fees being unproportional. In addition a small coke was €4.50! Nevertheless there were personal touches such as motivational messages, board games and pinball which were very nice. The cleanliness could certainly be improved, white socks turned black after only a few minutes of walking around and the kitchen was very badly stocked. That said, the real highlight is the IKEA bistro which is directly under the reception and offers €3 breakfast. The location is also very good

The entrance is not easy to find. The accommodation is very good. IKEA can provide food.

Slightly confusing with the entrance and the Ikea store but it was definitely a novelty. The room itself was clean and comfortable with plenty of space. We loved the atmosphere and the social aspect was really fun.

Great hostel. Good location, nice breakfast. Many events where you can meet new people. I loved it. I'd go back to it.

Too much noise, the location is far from the city center No hairdryer in the bathroom The smell of the toilet was awful

Perfect for solo traveller. Very close to tram and metro station. Supermarkt and drogerie store within few step. Everything is clean and the cleaner comes everyday. Definitely recommend

clean and spacious, nice service, and many activities for the guests to enjoy.

It was a very comfortable stay. The location was convenient for sightseeing, and the staff were friendly and kind. I really enjoyed my stay!

About the location, it's very closed to the station which is convenient. However, I don't feel safe at night because homeless people often gathered around outside the lifts. Although accessing to the dorm rooms requires key card, strangers can easily follow you through the lift. Another thing I'd like to mention is about the hairdryer. Only when I finished washing shower that I realized that there's no hairdryer in the dorm room. I asked the receptionist if there's any that I can borrow from, however, the answer was that all hairdryers were lent. It'd be better if there's a hairdryer installed in the dorm room, or even in the public area.

Nice open space but not really conducive to meeting people. The rooftop is beautiful and there was music there one night which was nice. The bed and floors in the dorm were pretty dirty but it was fine. Bathroom in the dorm was clean. Th location is good, right next to the metro and easy to get to the airport on the bus

The location is great—just a 3-minute walk from Vienna’s main train station. Super convenient! But just a heads-up: late at night, there might be a few drunk people hanging around near the entrance before you take the lift up to the hostel. Getting breakfast is easy, with McDonald’s, Starbucks, a supermarket, and even IKEA nearby. The room itself is really new and clean, which is a plus. However, even though the price is a bit higher than other hostels, they don’t offer free luggage storage—and the storage fees are actually more expensive than what you'd usually expect at similar places.

It’s so great, they even planned the event to gather people. The bed was clean and comfy, but hope that the bathroom could be isolated from bedroom since it easily to wake up others. But overall, highly recommended and the price is reasonable
