Blue Corridor Hostel

Look for another place
They will treat you like garbage, the owner is simply a bitch. Too many beds for the room, nothing is clean. One toilet for fifty people. Rooms are separated by sheets and not by walls.

The environment just like a prison!
The owner divided the flat into many rooms, so every room is very, very, very small and without any decoration! Imagine the environment in the prison! Some rooms even have no windows! Horrible! And the lock of the bathroom is out of order! so it is a true shared bathroom because everyone can enter the bathroom even when you are taking shower -- really inconvenient! And I do think that the staffs there should change their attitudes when providing services.

I would like to express my extreme UNSATISFACTION with BLUE CORRIDOR HOSTEL, in Vienna. Here is the story in a nutshell: a month ago, I booked a DOUBLE BEDROOM WITH PRIVATE FACILITIES. Upon arriving at the hostel, the lady at the reception urged me to pay the balance first (in cash) and only then she showed the room. To our astonishment, the room we were given was a BUNK (literally less than 4sq.metres, with 2 small beds on top of each other) and had NO WINDOW. In addition to that, THERE WERE NO PRIVATE FACILITIES: only a bathroom to share with the occupants of the other rooms. Upon our politely pointing out the discrepancy between what we had booked and what we were being given, both the lady at the reception and the hostel manager prooved extremely rude and unacceptably unprofessional. They kept claiming that in Austria "double bedroom (doppel bett zimmer) with private facilities" means two beds on top of each other and a bathroom close enough to the bedroom, regardless of how many people have access to it. They yelled at us that we should not go to Vienna without speaking fluent german. We have travelled in many Countries throughout the 5 continents and we have stayed at countless hostels providing true self-contained double bedrooms. We were never confronted with such an unwelcoming attitude. Despite our repeated requests, the manager refused to reimburse us for the room (for which we paid in cash and which we never used). We are disgusted. I think the manager of blue corridor hostel should use the words "double bedroom" and "private facilities" more sparingly, since THERE ARE NO PRIVATE FACILITIES IN THE WHOLE HOSTEL. In addition to that, I think he should mention that what he calls "double bedroom" IS IN FACT A BUNK and that these rooms have NO WINDOWS. I hope people who book know what to expect. I just thought I should let you know, so other travellers can be on guard.
