wombat’s CITY HOSTELS<br />
Vienna, Munich, Berlin and Budapest (opening 2011):<br />
With the concept of wombat‘s CITY HOSTELS, Sascha Böck & Marcus Praschinger have brought a<br />
certain type of youth tourism to Europe which is already common practice throughout the Anglo-American areas.<br />
Cleanliness and comfort instead of curfews and 10-bed dorms - wombat‘s is not a youth hostel in the traditional<br />
sense. wombat‘s is a backpacker hostel: a unique convergence of hotel and youth hostel at which many facilities<br />
are shared among guests.<br />
The comfy lounge, the womBar and the guest kitchen are shared as are the very popular dormitories enhanced with<br />
shower and toilet. Single, twin and double rooms are nonetheless on offer. An apparent advantage of having shared<br />
facilities is that the costs for the individual are kept to a minimum. More importantly, it creates a friendly, mutual and<br />
communicative atmosphere among the guests. The „hostel“ feeling is difficult to describe - one has to experience<br />
it to fully understand it. The term hostel does not describe a place but rather an attitude, a philosophy, the encounter<br />
of diverse people who all share the wonders, the ups and downs and the experiences of the adventure called „travelling“.<br />

Awards<br />
Receiving awards is a great honour for us. It validates us in our work and our actions. The HOSCARS (HOStelworld Customer Annual<br />
Ratings) Hostel awards take place every year to recognize the best hostels in the world. More than 20,000 properties from across the globe,<br />
all featured on Hostelworld.com, are eligible for the awards. The best hostel winners were voted for by over 900,000 customers worldwide<br />
who booked their accommodation online and rated and reviewed the hostel on six criteria (character, security, location, staff, fun, cleanliness).<br />
We achieved a particularly distinct honour in 2009 with the Hospitality Innovation Award. The co-operation of PKF hotelexperts and<br />
Hotelforum Management GmbH awards this prize for “major achievements in the international hospitality industry”. This<br />
is the first time the award has been presented to a hostel chain.<br />

Daily, we welcome people from all over the world as our guests in our hostels in Vienna, Munich and Berlin.<br />
We and our staff have travelled a lot ourselves and have also come to see parts of the world in which people<br />
live in great poverty. We not only want to speak about social responsibility, we want to act on it. Previously,<br />
we have invested our support selectively in single projects. We have now decided to accompany projects<br />
on a long-term and sustainable basis. We came across „Kindernothilfe“ (help for kids in need)<br />
through talks and internet research. Kids are - as is very well known - the weakest<br />
link in the chain. With our sponsorship, we hope to enable<br />
them a start into a better future.<br />
We welcome your interest and<br />
are delighted to hear from you:<br />
