Vienna hotel run by refugees

A new hotel has opened in Vienna - run mainly by refugees.

Magdas Hotel is a social enterprise set up by the Catholic charity Caritas to give refugees a chance to learn the hotel trade while on the job.

Asylum seekers in Austria are rarely allowed to work while their applications are being processed, and can struggle to find employment once they are accepted.
