About

Space Home Apartment - Central Station # Hauptbahnhof

Space Home Apartment - Central Station # Hauptbahnhof is a 2-star hostel in Vienna's 10th district, about 1.4 km from Belvedere Palace. The property is designed around self-contained capsules that give each guest a private, tech-equipped nook within a shared dorm setting. Check-in is contactless via express kiosks, with staff reachable through WhatsApp.

The hostel focuses on convenience and self-sufficiency: free Wi-Fi in rooms, flat-screen TVs, secure lockers, and a car park on site.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Shared facilities only — This is a hostel-style property with shared bathrooms and toilets (two showers and two toilets per group), which may not suit travelers seeking private en-suite facilities.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:30, which could be inconvenient for late-night arrivals or early flights.
  • Early check-out and no pets — Check-out is between 06:00 and 10:00, and pets are not allowed, limiting flexibility for travelers with animals or late-morning plans.
  • No on-site reception — The hostel operates with remote staff via WhatsApp and self check-in kiosks; guests who prefer face-to-face service may find this impersonal.

“I was pleasantly surprised by the clean bathrooms, secure lockers, and modern queen-size capsule – it exceeded what I'd expect from a hostel. No front desk, but the remote check-in was efficient, and when a guest's capsule got locked, staff responded fast and fixed it. Great for a peaceful stay.”
