About

Viktoria Artur

Viktoria Artur is a small hostel in Vienna's west, with just 10 rooms and a location that puts you within a 5-minute walk of Fo Guang Shan Tempel. It's the kind of place where the basics are handled well: key-card access, soundproofed rooms, and in-room tea and coffee facilities. Each room comes with a sitting area and some include a microwave, electric kettle, and fridge for self-catering.

The property keeps things straightforward—no pets, no smoking on site, and an automatic check-in with a code from 14:00 to 23:30. The guest rating sits at 7.9 out of 10 from 1,639 reviews, with particular praise for the staff (8.3) and general atmosphere (8.6). It's not a full-service hotel, but for travellers who want a quiet, functional base near transport, it delivers.

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Self-catering rooms with kitchenettes — Each room includes a microwave, electric kettle, and fridge, plus a dining table and cookware. Guests repeatedly mention saving money by preparing their own meals.
  • Quiet, well-located base — A 5-minute walk to Fo Guang Shan Tempel and about 10 minutes on foot to the Westbahnhof U-Bahn hub. The street is quiet, yet transport and dining options are close.
  • Friendly, flexible hosts — Guests highlight the polite owners who speak multiple languages, allow early check-in and baggage drop-off, and provide a welcome gift of water, coffee, and tea.
  • Automatic check-in — A code-based self check-in from 14:00 to 23:30 makes arrival seamless, even for late travellers.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Compact scale — With only 10 rooms, it's a small property—so don't expect a full-service hotel with a restaurant or concierge. It's more about self-sufficiency.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:30 — If your arrival is later than 23:30, you'll need to plan ahead, as the automatic check-in won't be available after that.
  • Possible minor wear-and-tear — One guest mentioned a broken light switch and outdated decor, so while clean, some fixtures may show age.
  • Limited on-site parking — There's no dedicated parking lot; guests mention a public garage nearby or paid parking on the street, which may add to your costs.

“We had a great stay at Viktoria. The room was spacious with a small kitchenette that had everything we needed. The private bathroom was a bonus, and the location was perfect—walking distance to the Stadthalle where we caught a concert. There's also a parking garage nearby. The hostel was easy to find with a convenient automatic check-in using a code. The quiet street and proximity to public transport were big pluses. Cons: honestly, nothing to complain about.”

“As a tourist, I appreciated the convenient location—just a 10-minute walk to the Westbahnhof U-Bahn hub. Nearby Mariahilfe Strasse had a lively vibe with plenty of restaurants and cafes. The room was well-equipped with a mini kitchen, including an electric cooker, microwave, water heater, and fridge. Central heating worked perfectly. I also loved the modern, clean bathroom and the huge flat-screen TV. The owners deserve praise for their attention to detail and polite service.”

“The rooms are cozy and comfortable, with a homely feel that put us at ease. As a family, we loved having a private bathroom and bed linen included. The kitchenette in the twin/double room was perfect for making simple meals and saving money. The washing machine in the double room was a pleasant surprise for laundry. The triple room had an electric kettle for quick tea in the mornings.”
