The Ruthi is an amazing place to work and travel. Shared my time there with a wonderful and numerous group of volunteers and staff. The place attracts travelers from every corner of the world, and the bar and pay-as-you-wish dinners make it a great place to meet fellow travelers.
The working hours are more than fair and payed for, and the tasks are simple and enjoyable.
Incredible experience and place to get to know Vienna.

It's the third time I volunteered in a hostel and and I can honestly say that it's the best place you can volunteer at. The work is really easy and the hostel feels very homely, it's chill and social at the same time. There is plenty of time to visit Vienna.
The most amazing thing here is obviously the friendships with the other volunteers. We hang out together a lot ! I'm also very grateful to all the staff and Monika in particular, who was so sweet with me and flexible.
All I can say is thank you, thank you so much to all these amazing people !

It was truly an extraordinary experience. They provide everything a volunteer (working traveler*) needs to feel safe and comfortable, to be themselves, and to do whatever they want. I just want to thank the entire the hostel team for everything they've done and for making me feel right at home. Thanks for these 2 amazing months and i'll be back ( eventually 😅).

Even though this was my first volunteering experience, i doubt any other experience could match how incredible this one was. The friendly staff, the beautiful hostel, the flexibility to organize your time, the athmosphere everyday… everything was perfect and i felt at home all the time. If there are any regrets, in this hostel is only not having stayed more time… I loved hostel Ruthenstainer!! It will always be my home in Vienna ♥️😭

I'm so thankful for my time at the hostel! I extended my stay several times. They have an amazing community; I made so many friends. Other volunteers and staff were amazing. They all da great job of making you feel at home. Communication from management could be improved, but that is my only minor complaint. The work was extremely fair (probably easier than in most other hostels!). The current scheduling system is very clear while still being mostly flexible. You have a lot of time to explore the city and to go on short trips. I will miss the hostel and the people I met there forever!
