The location couldn’t be better—just a 15-minute walk from the heart of Vienna, with a local market right outside the hotel offering delicious food and drinks. We stayed in the Playground Suite, which, despite being the smallest option, still felt spacious enough for two people. The bed was enormous, and so was the sofa—perfect for relaxing after a long day. There was a small free mini-bar stocked with Coca-Cola, beer, tonic water, and wine, which was refilled daily along with plenty of bottled water. But the highlight by far was breakfast: each morning, you pick your favorites—croissants, cold cuts, cheeses, fresh fruit, bacon, eggs, and more—and everything is delivered straight to your room. It’s served beautifully, with expertly prepared dishes that make dining in feel like a treat. The only downside? The TV is a bit outdated, and getting Apple TV to work was a bit of a hassle. But honestly, those are tiny flaws in an otherwise flawless stay. Everything else—from the service to the comfort—was top-notch. Highly recommend this gem!
Check-in was super fast and the staff went the extra mile by helping carry our luggage—such a nice touch! The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. The hotel is perfectly located—just a 5-minute walk to the nearest subway station, making it easy to explore Vienna. There's a Billa supermarket nearby for quick grocery runs, and there are plenty of great restaurants just steps away. Everything about this stay was fantastic—from the comfort of the room to the friendly service. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of convenience, quality, and value. I’d definitely recommend this hotel and will be back.
Staying at Ruby Lissi Hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Vienna. The location is perfect—just steps away from the historic old town and super convenient for exploring the city on foot. What really stood out was the 24-hour bar, which came in handy late at night when all the nearby restaurants and cafes had closed. I loved being able to unwind with friends without worrying about closing times. Plus, the rooms come equipped with Marshall speakers—something I’ve never seen in any other hotel before. It’s such a cool touch, making it easy to enjoy your favorite tunes anytime. The blend of modern comfort, thoughtful amenities, and unbeatable location makes this hotel truly special. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vienna.
Staying at Hotel Pension Excellence in Vienna was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the subway, making it super convenient to explore the city center. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality; they were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with recommendations or local tips. The breakfast was outstanding—fresh, delicious, and made with high-quality ingredients. I especially loved the homemade jams and artisanal bread. The room was clean, cozy, and quiet, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. Overall, this charming guesthouse offers exceptional value and genuine care. I’d happily return and recommend it to anyone visiting Vienna.
Staying at Vienna Stay Apartments Tabor 1020 was a delightful experience. The top-floor unit we booked (21-22) was beautifully designed and well-furnished, with plenty of space that made the stay feel luxurious and comfortable. Its central location made it easy to explore major attractions without needing to travel far—just a short walk or quick metro ride away. While there wasn’t a staff member present on-site at all times, they were always reachable by phone and promptly arrived when we requested extra amenities. Their responsiveness and willingness to help made a big difference. Overall, this apartment offered great value, comfort, and convenience in a prime area of Vienna—definitely a place I’d recommend and consider returning to.
Staying at Hotel Pension Baronesse was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from major attractions, making sightseeing super convenient.

Staying at Hotel Pension Baron am Schottentor was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from tram stops, making it super easy to explore Vienna’s highlights without hassle. The staff were warm and welcoming, always ready to help. The room was spotless, the bed incredibly comfortable, and the view of the cathedral? Absolutely poetic, especially in the morning light. It made our entire stay feel cozy and memorable. I’d highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone visiting Vienna—it’s a perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and charm.
The hotel is very nice overall, with a great location just a short walk from the city center and convenient access to public transit. However, there is some noise from traffic, especially noticeable at night. I’d recommend closing the windows or using earplugs if you’re sensitive to outside sounds. Despite that, the room was clean, the staff were friendly, and the value for money was excellent. I’d definitely stay here again on my next visit to Vienna.
I strongly advise against booking this apartment—it’s a complete nightmare. We arrived at 6 PM, expecting check-in to be available from 4 PM, so everything should have been ready. Upon arrival, we entered the code to access the key box—but it was completely empty. We called for assistance and were told someone would call back, but no one ever did. After waiting over an hour in freezing cold weather, a cleaning staff member finally showed up—she didn’t speak English and refused to hand over the keys. Worse, she started repeatedly ringing the doorbell of our unit as if someone was inside, then even went on to ring two other nearby apartments. We heard loud noises—like a door slamming—but no one answered. There was no explanation, no apology, no solution offered. Only after persistent complaints did they reluctantly suggest moving us to another apartment, but we were never told where or how far it was. Later, through Google Translate, we overheard her speaking Ukrainian (or possibly to a supervisor) and learned the truth: the keys had actually been thrown into the trash by mistake, and someone had to dig through garbage to retrieve them. In disbelief and concerned about our disabled family member and elderly companions, we decided to cut our losses and book a nearby guesthouse instead—thankfully, we found rooms at a reasonable last-minute rate. Waiting outside in the cold for two hours with no real support, no timely response, and absolutely no accountability—it felt like being abandoned on the street. This experience is unacceptable, especially with vulnerable travelers involved.
I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel-Pension Bleckmann in Vienna! The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment I arrived—always smiling, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. My room was clean, cozy, and well-appointed with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The location is excellent—just a short walk to public transit and within easy reach of major attractions and great local restaurants. It’s a quiet, charming spot in the heart of the city, offering both comfort and convenience. For the price, this place delivers exceptional value. I’d happily return and recommend it to anyone visiting Vienna.
The room was excellent, and the location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the city center and surrounded by quiet, safe streets. I felt completely at ease during my stay. The only hiccup was with the booking platform—it was slow to send the self-check-in password email, which didn’t arrive until 9 PM on the day of arrival. Without it, I couldn’t access the door, and trying to reach front desk support was frustratingly difficult. Still, the hostel itself is fantastic—clean, stylish, and well-organized. The experience overall was positive, and I’d definitely book again if I’m back in Vienna.
Staying at Meininger Hotel Wien Downtown Franz was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk or quick subway ride from the heart of Vienna, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and attractions nearby. The room was clean, well-organized, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet the room was—great sound insulation, so no noise from the street or neighboring rooms. The staff were friendly and efficient, check-in was smooth, and free Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout my stay. For the price, this hotel offers incredible value. If you're visiting Vienna on a budget but still want quality and convenience, this is a top choice. I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in the city!
