I really loved the experience, the place was organized, with clear working hours that were always respected, which left me almost the whole day free to explore the city. They also provided three meals a day, which was a big plus, and the room was very nice and comfortable. Although my stay ended earlier than expected, I truly enjoyed the experience and left with wonderful memories of both Vienna and the volunteer work:)

The experience in this hostel in Vienna was amazing, the hostel is big, with a beautiful terrace and common area close to the reception to hang out with the people, and people who work there are very nice. Thank you so much to Shanks, he's friendly, I had a good communication with him and I tried always to help me and the other volunteers!

My time at a&the hostel in Vienna was very good, the staff are fantastic and I made lots of friends. Everyone made me feel at home and the shifts are very relaxed. The schedules were always agreed in advance, which helped me organise my days off for short trips and getting to know the city, which is incredible, with its large gardens, museums and fantastic architecture. The work, which consisted of reception and kitchen duties, was a great experience and I am grateful to have been part of this incredible project. Thank you for the opportunity, Shanks.

My experience at the hostel was nice overall. The place is well located and the team members are really nice and welcoming. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stay as long as planned and had to leave earlier than expected, but I still appreciated the opportunity and wish the team all the best.

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.
