The hostel accommodation in Vienna can be divided into the "official"
youth hostels and the private, and probably slightly more expensive
and trendy, backpackers' style of accommodation.
Budget accommodation is available in the centre of Vienna and in some pleasant spots on the outskirts but with good access to the city centre via public transport. Some of the youth hostels require membership of the IYHA (International Youth Hostel Association) but do not have any age limits.
The
Jugendgästehaus Wien-Brigittenau is located near the Millenium City shopping
centre towards the north of Vienna near the Danube. Accommodation is in an
apartment-block style of building with 2-6 person rooms with bunk beds.
