I will be heading to Vienna in the first week of Nov of this year and I was wondering if anyone would recommend a nice place to stay thats affordable and near the main attractions. I wll be arriving from Budapest on train.

Thanks

What's "affordable" to you?

Try Pension Nossek, located on the Graben so walkable to many sights and the subway/trams. I think the rates are reasonable.

Pension Suzanne

I second the motion. Quite near Opera, metro, ringstrasse

I was thinking somewhere around 50-80 US$ (double)

You're leaving in 1 week and your budget is very, very low for Vienna. I'd suggest you grab whatever you can find at this point. Try venere.com, or laterooms.com, or hrs.de, or booking.com.

You may even want to check out Wombat hostel. It's just a few minutes' from the Westbahnhof and it gets decent reviews as a hostel.

Also, try www.hotelscombined.com .

I've stayed at Meininger Hostel in Wien before. It's not too shabby for a hostel, they have wifi internet and computers for use (must pay), free breakfast, kitchen access, laundry washer/dryer, and their single rooms have private bathrooms. It's definitely not a "hotel" because they don't really clean your room on a daily basis, but it's a good budget option if you are in Vienna for only a few days. It's within walking distance to the subway station.

Website says it's 50 euros for a single room:

If you stay often at this hostel they have a frequent rewards card that you can get stamped for each night of stay. Ask the front desk about it. They are quite friendly.

oops -- just checked that the breakfasts are not free, they are 4,50 euros a person. But it's worth it.

Thanks so much! The place you recommended looks good most likely will book it.
