About the experience in: Vienna, Austria
Brazil
I had a great experience volunteering at A&O. The work hours are respected, the tasks are clear and the team is very largex so you get to the chance to meet many different people, and the management was very considerate of my part-time job.
I'd say this place is a great fit for people looking for a base in Vienna, since you get to work, meet people and explore the city.

My overall experience at A&O Hostel was satisfying. I helped with breakfast and coffee shifts, and the working hours were well respected. The accommodation was comfortable, with a dedicated room for volunteers. After completing my shift, I had plenty of time to explore Vienna. There was someone available to explain the tasks but also you can ask the staff, and they will help you. A big thanks to the other volunteers for sharing great memories together!

We’re especially glad you connected with the volunteer community—that’s such an important part of the experience. Wishing you all the best, and you're always welcome back!

I had a great time meeting the volunteers and the staff working here. I felt welcomed immediately upon my arrival by other volunteers, Nelly and Shanky. Nelly showed me around the hostel and we did several social things together. Just have in mind that the social part was always organised by Nelly, since he's no longer part of this experience, you will need to organise social stuff amongst yourselves
The tasks are simple and manageable, especially if you have hospitality experience
This experience is good for those who want to stay in Vienna for free, but don't expect comfort or healthy food
