The Panda Hostel is located in the seedy part of Vienna, near the strip joints, and about 25 minutes walk from town, or 15 minutes on the metro located 5 minutes away. There is a tram outside the door of the hostel to the major train stations. It is in a block of apartments, on the 3rd floor above some shops.
The hostel has two dorm rooms, one with 3 level bunk beds, the other smaller. It also has a loft to squeeze extra guests in, which you use a ladder to get to. There is only one shower and only one toilet for all the guests to share. The kitchen is small, as is the communal area. There are TVs in each room.
Linen is provided, there are large lockers for bags. There is a strictly enforced lockout period during the day from 10am to 2pm for cleaning. You will be woken up and thrown out during this time (also not easy to use the single shower or toilet around this time). There are laundry, internet and supermarkets across the road from the hostel. They don't accept credit cards.
Staying at the Panda Hostel is more like staying over at a relatives than a hostel. This is largely because it is tiny, only has about 15 guests and is basically unsupervised. There is a secretary there from 8am to 5pm, after that you pick up the keys from the bar across the road, and pay the secretary in the morning. Owners can be contacted via mobile only after hours. There are several threatening messages on the walls about drinking after hours and guest having to pay large fines if the neighbours call the police. Overall it is clean and tidy, but doesn't have a lot of character.

Location/Contact
Very very poor. Never ever! Too many people for too little rooms. Only curtain between room and shower, so no private atmosphere if you have a shower.
It smells bad. They makes only easy money.
