wombat’s Vienna, Munich and Berlin:
The first Austria-based City Hostels
With the concept of wombat’s CITY HOSTELs, the young businessmen Sascha
Böck and Marcus Praschinger have brought a certain type of youth tourism to
Austria and Germany, which is already common practice throughout the AngloAmerican areas. Cleanliness and comfort instead of curfews and 10-bed-dorms –
wombat’s is not a youth hostel in the traditional sense.
wombat’s is a backpacker hostel: a unique convergence of hotel and youth hostel, at
which many facilities are shared among guests.
The comfy lounge, the womBar and the guest kitchen are shared, as are the very popular
dormitories with enhanced shower and toilet – single, twin and double rooms are
nonetheless on offer. An apparent advantage is that the costs for the individual are kept
to a minimum due to this shared use of many facilities. But even more important is that
it creates a friendly, mutual and communicative atmosphere among the guests. The
feeling “hostel” is difficult to describe – one has to experience it to fully understand it.
The term hostel does not describe a place; it rather describes an attitude, a philosophy.
The encounter of diverse people who all share the wonders, the ups and downs and the
experiences of the adventure called “travelling”.
Back in 1999, Marcus Praschinger and Sascha Böck already focused on the booming
niche of youth tourism and built the first wombat’s CITY HOSTEL “The Base” close to
the main train station, Westbahnhof. Success was inevitable: the first expansion
came in 2001, when the number of beds was raised from 150 to 261. 2004, another
wombat’s was opened in Munich, Germany, right at the main train station, two years
later “The Lounge” joined in on Vienna’s main shopping street, the Mariahilfer Straße,
in June 2006 and, in February 2008, the wombat’s CITY HOSTEL Berlin in the vicinity of
Alexanderplatz was opened. The next opening will soon take place: by 2011, the fifth
wombat’s CITY HOSTEL will open its gates at the Viennese Naschmarkt – by then, it
will be the biggest house with its 440 beds.
Awards: The Hostel Oscar HOSCAR was awarded to the wombat’s CITY HOSTELs
in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009
Absolute cleanliness is top priority for the owners – that is why wombat’s was elected
cleanest hostel world-wide in 2003; the Bavarian affiliated company received this
award in 2004. In 2006, the wombat’s CITY HOSTEL’s received 3 “Hoscars” (HostelOscar) and was elected most popular hostel chain in the world – a title they regained in 2007, 2008 and again in 2009. The new wombat’s CITY HOSTEL Berlin, which
had been opened in February 2008, was awarded the “Best hostel 2008” in the category
“Large Hostels” (more than 300 beds), Vienna’s wombat’s CITY HOSTEL “The Lounge”
were given the award “No.1 Hostel in Austria” for 2008 and 2009.
Unlike the traditional youth hostels with 8- and 6-bed dorms, you find only 2-, 4-, and
6-bed dorms here (see table). Each room is equipped with a private bathroom
and individual lockers, the bed sheets are included in the price. Style and design
put the finishing touch to the overall picture of each wombat’s –in “The Base” in Vienna
the interior wall design was done in the style of the painter Wassily Kandinsky. The
collaboration with a team of young interior designers who have designed the house in
Berlin sets and embraces future trends.
“Get together” at womBar
The conventional youth hostels curfew at 11 p.m. does not exist here. The reception is
open 24/7. Also, the womBar, the in-house pub, with happy hour is open into the early
hours of the morning. Incorporator and directing manager Marcus Praschinger stresses,
“We want to create a social atmosphere for our guests: partying, making new friends and
just generally having a good time – that is essential.”
Furthermore, extensive extra facilities are a main part of the company’s philosophy:
internet hotspots, a pool table, coin operated laundry and a guest kitchen can be
found in each wombat’s City Hostel. Last but not least, it is the reasonable price that is
contributing to increasing overnight stays and recommendations among travellers. Hints
in tour and hitchhiker guides are one thing, but word of mouth is still a top decisionmaking support when choosing accommodation – a good position for further expansion
plans to Prague and Budapest.
By now, the major part of the bookings is done via internet on www.wombatshostels.com. Another successful strategy is that the guests already meet like-minded
people at the front desk as only people who have travelled a lot themselves work
at wombat’s.
What remains is the question about the name. The two founders of wombat’s were
backpackers themselves and travelled across the whole world: ”Marcus and I had a friend
in Melbourne who tragically died in an accident. He loved the Australian marsupials and
always had the dream of opening a hostel with the name ‘wombat’s backpackers’. So the
name is dedicated to him,” states Sascha Böck, founder and managing director.

„BERLIN“
wombat’s CITY HOSTEL
Location
The wombats CITY HOSTEL Berlin is centrally located and within spitting distance
of the “Hackeschen Markets” and the “Alexanderplatz”. Our hostel in Berlin opened
February 2008.
A team of German interior designers came up with the concept of creating a place of
well-being for young people and for those who stayed young. Soft shades of green,
earthy brown tones and dynamic shades of red give the feeling of warmth and
safety. The special highlight of the Hostel in Berlin is the SkyBar. The bar and the
adjacent terrace are situated on the seventh floor and offer a breathtaking view
over Berlin.
Rooms
The wombats CITY HOSTEL Berlin features 346 beds in 2-, 4- and 6-bed dorms
as well as apartments with kitchenette and separate sleeping and living areas. All
double rooms have a terrace or balcony. All rooms are equipped with Shower and
toilet, as well as lockers. Upon check in every guest receives a set of free bed
sheets, a drink voucher for the SkyBar and a personalised city map.
What else?
The SkyBar, our in-house pub, is the meeting place for backpackers from all over
the world. The cosy SkyBar is the ideal place for socialising and relaxing. Besides
damn cheap cocktails and small meals, there is a happy hour every evening at the
SkyBar, supported by a diverse program, including live sports broadcasts, live music
or theme parties. The staff at wombats CITY HOSTEL knows the needs of the
guests as each and every one has been a backpacker themselves.

to meat, sausages, cheese, flowers, fish and exquisite oils. At the Naschmarkt
people of various cultures get together and form a perfect whole.
In the past years many small restaurants and cafés have sprung up on the
Naschmarkt and one can choose among Austrian, Indian, Japanese and Turkish
cuisine.
Rooms
The wombat’s CITY HOSTEL „Naschmarkt“ with its 440 beds in 122 rooms will
be the biggest wombat’s so far. All rooms will be equipped with shower and toilet
and individual lockers. Upon check-in each guest will be equipped with free linen, a
voucher for a drink in the womBar and an especially created city map.
What else?
As a special highlight a breakfast area with a glass roof is planned. The planning of
the interior design will be realised by the Viennese designer duo LUCY.D – Barbara
Ambrosz and Karin Stiglmair – and their team.
