Nightbot #2

Kriechende Silberfische sind absolut überall. Die Verwaltung kümmert sich überhaupt nicht um Anwohner, die sich über das Problem beschweren. 1 Stern, solange wir Bewohner nicht gehört werden.

Kaution wurde nach über einem halben Jahr nach dem Auszug immer noch nicht zurückgezahlt, bisher auch keine Antwort auf meine Nachrichten.

Zimmer sind klein, aber total in Ordnung. Etwas teuer. Die Umgebungssituation mit Lärm & Staub macht zu schaffen.

Would recommend as a short-term solution only. The rooms are small but in a good shape. The quality of the furniture, kitchen and the bathroom is high. The U1 line is around 12 min away by foot. It is surrounded by building sites and a railway which can get very loud at times. Will probably be nicer in 2022-2023 when hopefully all buildings around the dorm are finished.
It is a relatively new dorm so it does not really function as a community but if you're lucky you can meet some cool people, although I would avoid it if you're looking for a party/international/vivid dorm. The rooms are available to everyone - not only for students.

They asked me to move out 5 days earlier because the technician ( Mr. Faltner - who is a very cool guy) was supposed to be on vacation at the time of my check out and they could not find a replacement person? Eventually he did not take the vacation and I moved out as planned but there mere fact that they asking me to move out earlier gives you a hint about the state of the administration of the dorm. Ms. Ayse Aras who used to work there was also very sweet and helpful. The TV in the community room was broken for the whole duration of my stay (~9 months).

The vacuum cleaners are almost never available, so I would suggest buying one for yourself. At one point the administration disabled the community oven and refrigerator because the students were leaving it in a bad condition. During the Corona lockdown they showed zero concern about the health of the tenants and have not sent any e-mails with advice on how to handle the situation.

Often you can see rabbits from your window which is honestly really cool. There is a huge number of them in the vicinity of Helmut-Zilk-Park, they eat grass and chill and if you're lucky you can get a nice photo of them.

All in all the room served me OK as a temporary solution until I was able to find a suitable WG. As mentioned, the whole area surrounding the dorm is still being built so you will often feel like you're living in a ghost town, especially during the colder days/months. I would not recommend this place to a friend but if you are in an urgent need of accommodation it's not that bad. After all, some people to who I talked to really like it, so it also comes down to your personal preferences. I lived in Pfeilheim 3A before and even though the rooms there are in a much worse condition I would still choose it over this dorm, since the atmosphere is much more cozy and it has an active community and a decades long tradition. That is something that Martin-Buber-Haus lacks desperately.

P.S.
I attached a couple of photos from inside and the outside of the dorm to give you a better feel of the place. I rated them with 3 stars although my heart says 2 stars!

Рядом с вокзалом. Минус-сейчас стройка.
Все остальные плюсы, рядом новостройка, парковка, отличная транспортная развязка, парк, аптека, 2 магазина, офис банка "Erste", вокзал, библиотека.

Апартаменты отличные :СВЧ, варочная панель, холодильник. Хороший душ с туалетом, большой. В комнате много полок, шкафчиков, удобная кровать, широкий стол.
В подвале общая кухня с духовкой, платные стиральные машины, сушка и утюг.
Есть место для общения.

Horrible administration. Irena is rude and incompetent and so is the technician. Someone forgot a chair outside for a night and they punished everyone by taking all the furniture in the communal room out. They treat grown ups like children and perform group punishment school-style regularly for the smallest of things. Irena doesn't bother to check the video cameras to only punish those responsible.
Expect to not be able to use the oven and the communal room for half of your stay at smartments.
The rent is really high and the service is terrible. Stay away.
