Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostel Wieden, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 3) to minimize noise from the nearby city streets, which can be busy due to the hotel's location on a side street off a main road. Consider rooms 401-409, 501-509, or 601-609, as they are likely to be quieter than lower floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor (101-109) as they are closer to the front entrance and may experience more noise from the street. Rooms near the service entrance (if it's located near the front) may also be noisier due to the increased foot traffic.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on a side street limits the view options. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a glimpse of the surrounding cityscape.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-6 are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the higher elevation.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some traffic noise from the nearby road, especially during rush hour. The hotel's location in a densely populated area means some background noise is unavoidable.
Insider tips
Arrive early for check-in to ensure a smooth process, as the hotel might get busy during peak travel seasons. Consider requesting a room with a window that faces the inner courtyard for a more peaceful atmosphere, if available.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top-Attraktionen in Wien
💡 Go on Saturday morning for the adjacent flea market (Flohmarkt) – you can find vintage postcards and oddities for a euro. Avoid midday on weekends; it's packed.
💡 Stand just inside the main door and look up to see the stone pulpit. Free guided tours in English at 2pm on Saturdays (check schedule). Catacombs tour costs extra but is very short.
💡 Enter from the lower gate near Rennweg. The back garden behind the Lower Belvedere has a small, quiet area with benches – good for a peaceful break.
💡 Cross the street to the Kalke village – a small, artsy market with affordable street food. The best photo spot is from the corner of Kegelgasse across the street.
💡 Arrive just before sunset. The crowds thin out and the light hits the palace facade beautifully. Bring a picnic blanket.
