A&o Wien Hauptbahnhof

A&O Wien Hauptbahnhof pairs hostel-style practicality with hotel-grade comfort, just steps from Vienna’s central station.

Set along Sonnwendgasse, mere steps from Vienna Hauptbahnhof, a&o Wien Hauptbahnhof is built for travelers who prefer efficiency without losing sight of comfort. The lobby feels more hostel than hotel—bright, high-traffic, and buzzing with guests checking in, playing billiards, or scanning brochures by the communal snack bar. Upstairs, rooms range from straightforward singles to six-bed dorms, each with parquet floors, flat-screen TVs, and private or shared bathrooms. Select family rooms add seating nooks or desks, while basic linens and toiletries are provided throughout.

The rooftop terrace offers a panoramic sweep of Vienna’s southern skyline, a welcome escape for those needing fresh air after a day on trams or trains. Downstairs, the bar serves drinks and snacks late into the evening, with vending machines and microwaves nearby for self-service convenience. A game room, kid zone, and small reading area round out the communal facilities.

Free Wi-Fi extends throughout the building, and guests with cars can access private parking for a fee. There's also a coin laundry room and lockers for short-term storage. Check-in starts at 3 p.m., with staff at the desk around the clock—a plus for late arrivals.

From backpackers to budget-conscious families, this property draws an international crowd looking for well-connected, no-fuss lodging near transit.
