Space Home Apartment - Downtown

Space Home Apartment - Downtown

Rated 7.9 in 857 reviews. Enclosed pods.
B·Solid pick

A good option for budget-conscious solo travellers seeking privacy and a central location for short stays in Vienna, provided they are prepared for potential noise.

Space Home Apartment - Downtown offers a modern capsule experience in Vienna, providing an affordable and private alternative to traditional dorms. Guests sleep in enclosed, hard-shell pods equipped with individual lighting, TV, and a small foldable table, offering a personal sanctuary. While the pods themselves are comfortable and clean, noise from fellow guests, metal lockers, and the pod doors can be an issue, and earplugs are recommended. The shared bathrooms are kept clean and include basic toiletries, though shower water pressure is often low and the number of showers can be limited. Located centrally, the property is a short walk from the city centre and public transport, with cafes and shops nearby. Staff are responsive via message, and the check-in process is smooth. Luggage storage is available in secure lockers, which is a plus for those with later departures.

Noise & sleep

Snoring, doors, how much you actually hear
4.0weak

Noise is a significant and recurring issue. Guests frequently report hearing other guests, street noise, and the loud clashing sound of metal lockers. The pod doors themselves are noted to be noisy when opening and closing. While earplugs are provided, many found it still difficult to sleep due to the noise, indicating poor sound insulation within the dormitory-style setup.

Not too noisy.
