The area east of the Hauptbahnhof is desolate and ugly. However, the Pension Sandwirt is such a good deal and the owner's so friendly that we just had to include it.
The Sandwirt is ideal for small, undemanding groups of travelers who know each other well—for example, a bunch traveling on a Eurail spree or driving around Europe in a van. Even though the quarters can get pretty tight, the triples and quads are a bargain.
Mind you, these aren't fashionable rooms, and not all are en suite. The beds are cramped together, and the wall-mounted televisions are tiny. A table that looks like it was made for card playing is planted right in the middle of it all. Rooms have their own sinks but the toilets are communal. Privacy's not exactly a priority: larger rooms have a bizarre Duschkabinett (shower closet) right next to the beds, so best be comfortable with your roommates.
There's free breakfast in the morning and a kitchen for guests to use. Ask at the front desk and the owner will lend you toiletries or a hair dryer.
The Sandwirt is in a courtyard behind a building with its own little (free!) parking area.

About the Pension Sandwirt neighborhood
The bulk of Cheapo-friendly properties lie in Schallmoos, an expansive neighborhood that stretches north from Franz-Josef-Strasse and east from the train tracks. Schallmoos is a residential area, with stately townhouse apartments in the south fading into low buildings and gas stations closer to the Autobahn.
Swanky southern Schallmoos is within walking distance of all things Altstadt. Although northern Schallmoos lacks the rich beauty of the Altstadt and Right Bank, the area north of the Kapuzinerberg has a unique appeal, full of melancholy and atmosphere. Small, graffiti-riddled parks and monuments and a view of Kapuzinerberg's rock face are some of the highlights. Because the A1 feeds right into Schallmoos, it's a good option for those with cars. Many Schallmoos hotels have free parking, too.
