An independent hostel since 1968 beside Westbahnhof station, with a garden, dorms, private rooms, studios, a kitchen and organic breakfast.

A hostel of the old school
The Ruthensteiner was opened in 1968 by two travellers and is still an independent hostel, the kind with a homely atmosphere: an inner garden with plants, instruments to play, a clothes swap and organic breakfast with vegan and gluten-free options. It is in the 15th district, a few minutes' walk from Westbahnhof station.
The rooms
There are dorms, where each bed has a reading light, a socket and a locker; private rooms, with towels, soap and shampoo included; and bright studios for two or three people, with a kitchen and access to the patio. Fast wifi in all of them. There is also a guest kitchen, a washing machine, dryer and iron, and bike hire. The maximum stay is usually seven nights.
Getting there
From Westbahnhof (metro U3 and U6, suburban trains and Westbahn) follow the signs to the Äußere Mariahilfer Straße, turn right, take the second on the left, Haidmannsgasse, and then right: Robert-Hamerlinggasse 24.
