Where to sleep
There are several districts in Vienna and you can choose which one you prefer based on what you'd like to do more:
Close to top attractions: 1st District (Innere Stadt)
Less touristy and cheaper alternative: 2nd District (Leopoldstadt), 3rd District (Landstraße)
Hip area with lots of bars: 6th (Mariahilf), 7th (Neubau), 8th (Josefstadt)
That said, Vienna is quite small and well organized so as long as you're near a subway station everywhere is fine!
I made a selection of hotels/hostels based on the followings:
-not more than 3km from the center
-at least 8.0 rating
-close to the subway
