From the AIRPORT
Most convenient is the shuttle bus to Westbahnhof (8 €, buy ticket from driver). The cheapest option is the S-Bahn to Wien Mitte and subway U3 to Westbahnhof from there (same ticket valid for both, 4.00 €). The 'City Airport Train' (CAT) is a few minutes faster than the S-Bahn, but costs 11 Euros - it also ends at Wien Mitte, from where you´ll have to catch the U3 underground to Westbahnhof. The CAT ticket is NOT valid for the U3 (underground ticket is 2€ one way)!
Shuttle bus
The bus will drop you off right in front of the main entrance of the train station. Standing in front - Westbahnhof behind you - turn right and walk half way around the train station. That'll lead you to Mariahilfer Straße. Follow Mariahilfer Straße and you will see wombats "The Lounge" on your left.
S-Bahn or CAT and U3:
Get off the U3 at Westbahnhof, then take the exit “Äußere Mariahilfer Straße”. Once up there, follow Mariahilfer Straße and you will see wombats "The Lounge" on your left.
