Grand Ferdinand Hotel, Vienna

Schubertring 10-12, 1010 Wien, Austria (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Grand Ferdinand, abundant in burgundy leather, parquet flooring and offbeat details like a taxidermy horse, offers gorgeous rooftop vistas. Its 188 rooms range between a grand suite of rich tapestries and a Lobmeyr chandelier to what might be the city’s — if not Europe’s — swankiest dorm rooms with mahogany bunk beds and housekeeping services.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Vienna, Austria.

Lonely Planet review:

“An enormous taxidermied horse stands in the reception area of this ultrahip newcomer, which is shaking up Vienna’s accommodation scene by offering parquet-floored dorms with mahogany bunks alongside richly coloured designer rooms with chaises longues and chandeliered suites with private champagne bars.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

The walls of the Grand Ferdinand Hotel would have some tasty tea to spill is they could talk. One of Vienna’s newest boutique hotels, it a 19th-century palace that was bombed in World War II. The building was then used as an office in the 1950s. Rumor had it though, that it was actually an Austrian Secret Service headquarters. It was then converted into this luxurious hotel. That is quite a rich and interesting history!

The hotel is located along the Ringstrasse in Vienna. This boulevard circles Old Town and is only a few steps away from the rich culture that the museums, coffeehouses and vibrant people have to offer. Johann Strauss memorial and the Vienna State Opera beg for a visit too. Musikverein, Vienna State Opera, Viennese City Park, Karlsplatz and Albertina are also nearby.

The hotel is seven floors tall and is decorated with sophisticated items inspired by the imperial era of Emperor Franz Joseph. Suites on the highest floor have amazing views of the vistas below and even of the giant Ferris wheel. Guests live in style with plush accommodations. Features include air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a safe, a minibar, wooden floors and premium bedding. The private bathrooms have an open floor plan for an even more spacious feel.

Would visit again

Great location, nice room and very helpful staff.

The room was facing internally and we could hear the voices of the restaurant staff in the early morning hours, as well as the smell from the kitchen.

Everything was wonderful people were very friendly especially the Lady Ivett at the marvellous restaurant of the hotel. She gave us a touch of sun in our trip with her kindness. The rest of the hotel is wonderful next to the center and the breakfast is very good and complete. I recomme nd so much😍

Nice stay with wonderful views from the roof top

Excellent location. Near the most important sightseeings and the center . Fantastic roof restaurant where we had the breakfast . Beautiful views of Vienna from there . Very nice decorated , stylish and classic . Satisfying breakfast and very nice and helpful stuff who helped us with our lost luggages and were very kind and communicative . Comfortable beds !

The superior room looking at the internal yard was darker than it should . The window obviously for safety reasons could not be opened entirely for fresh air. I expected that the room would have 1 double and 1 single bed because we had made a reservation for 3 adult persons . But when we checked in we saw just one double bed …Ofcourse they brought an extra bed after we told them. It is ok.. Generally was a nice experience

Pleasant stay in Vienna for a conference

Stayed in a comfort room for 5 nights. The bed was very comfy and the room was quiet. The minibar was well stocked and there was a drawer just for the champagne 😀. Free water bottle in the room and some toiletries. The breakfast buffet was on the rooftop, on 8th floor, and offered a large number of choices. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance. The staff was very nice and helpful.

The room design (I stayed in a comfort room on the 4th floor) is a bit unusual. The shower is next to the bed, and the sink is in the living room. There are no drawers to put your stuff and no desk or chair to sit on. The night stand was a small wobbly table with some sort of a magnet in the middle, making it hard to put anything on it. The Wi-Fi was a bit unstable. But these are small details and overall, my stay was quite pleasant.

Really nice hotel to stay at. Great location. Quirky old style bedrooms, which we like and very clean.

The location of the hotel was perfect for the places we had booked to see and things to do. Very clean and respectful area while also a busy road outside. 4/5 minute walk to the U Bahn was great. Lisa, one of the staff that works in the breakfast room is just a lovely person working at the hotel. She looked after my wife and I throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed when we went for breakfast. I can only compliment the girl for being excellent at what she does. The hotel are lucky to have her.

The breakfast room was chaotic on Saturday morning. We travel a lot and we noticed how two self service coffee machines would help the staff from 9am until 10.30am as they can be quite busy. Our coffee order was forgotten on Saturday morning, and we also noticed that we were not the only ones that this happened to. Lisa, one of the breakfast room staff, noticed and apologized, even though it was not any fault of hers. She went out of her way to look after us and made my wife feel special for the next days at the hotel at breakfast. She is a credit to the hotel.

Nice hotel, great breakfast and vibes

I've stayed here multiple times. The room was very comfortable and the staff was helpful and very nice. Breakfast was good with plenty of options and the terrace is a nice vibe in the morning. One of the best hotel beds I've stayed in.

This time we stayed here in april. The room was a bit warm, even with the lowest setting on the AC. And the window only tilts inwards a little bit, I presume for safety reasons. The parking garage is very very narrow, so avoid coming with a big car... but I guess that's just Vienna.

Lovely hotel with great breakfast in an excellent location for sightseeing and enjoying Vienna.

Breakfast was a delight each day. We also used the rooftop deck for afternoon tea. Such a great space!

Minor trouble getting a cool sleeping temperature in the room. Ended up opening the windows each night. Since we were on the courtyard this worked well.

Friendly staff and good location.

I didn’t like the design of the room. There is a claustrophobic toilet, the sink was in the middle of the room and the shower next to the bed. When we had a shower, there was too much humidity in the room. There is no wardrobe and it was difficult to organize our things.

Such lovely helpful staff, gray location , beautiful restaurant with amazing views.

Brekkie was mayhem on Saturday morning! Felt sorry for the staff. Seemed to be under savage pressure. The comfort room has a shower in the bedroom right beside the bed. We found this really odd do we upgraded for a small fee to a different room. Shower was still open but there was a wall separating from the bed

Good. But make sure you have a room with a view!

The location is perfect. Restaurant, rooftop bar and wine bar are just delightful. This is a return stay and also our friends came this time and many have stayed before as we loved it so much. The rooms are quirky. Great beds, shower is sort of in the room, this time we had a door, last time a walk in, private toilet, but room sharers who are not into public nudity might find it a bit off putting. Couples, it's fine! But the location is a huge draw, plus onsite food choices are excellent and great value. Don't miss the little wine bar next door that is a part of the hotel. Top tip, don't do B&B in the hotel, do room only and go to the wine bar for breakfast. Great eggs benedict etc!! Oh, and book the Schnitzel restaurant. It's ALWAYS full!!

Twice daily cooking smells in our room and a lot of early morning noise from below in the restaurant/kitchen. Room 501, comfort room, was facing the interior courtyard. The bottom of the courtyard is the main schnitzel restaurant and the smell of frying was awful, even though the food was amazing. I am surprised that having had the comfort room, not the basic one that we ended up with no view and smells! The AC was very minor and we like fresh air, especially in March in Vienna! We tried to close the windows but then were too hot!

Great Location – Perfect for Exploring the City Center on Foot

The location is excellent, offering both convenience and a great atmosphere. The breakfast was delightful, with a good variety to choose from. One of the highlights is the stunning view from the top floor, making the experience even more enjoyable. The pool area is also well-placed, adding to the overall charm of the stay. Highly recommended!

Some of the staff made the experience a bit bittersweet. A more welcoming attitude would have certainly improved the stay.

Amazing staff and location

They were welcoming and allowed us to check in house before the actual time, no other hotel will do so in the world. Staff are so friendly and amazing. The Location is next to tram number 2 and bus 2A So from there you can explore all of Vienna

The complementary water was sparkling and I had to buy still water to make coffee and tea. Also, the room are smaller than what you think

Location, cleanliness and Meisl&Schadn

Location is excellent, walking distance to many attractions downtown. The restaurant of the hotel is a must go for schnitzel and tafelspitz. Rooms very clean, nice decor, rooms are spacious. A tip for the guests who would like to try the schnitzel but can not book Meisl&Schadn, the main restaurant, which was very crowded when we visited: the smaller restaurant, Gulasch & Sohne, has a shared kitchen with the main restaurant and will serve you the same schnitzel. This restaurant also provides good option for breakfast.

The electricity switches did not allow the night lamp to be lit by itself. But this is a small thing, really.

Pleasant two night stay

We loved the room which was on a high floor and this was very well sound proofed. The view from breakfast was beautiful.

We understand the high cost for breakfast because of the view and surroundings. Nonetheless, I had to ask staff for our poached eggs on smashed avocado which arrived cold. moreover, I had to constantly prompt staff for assistance which is poor considering the cost of breakfast and our experience of other hotels around the world !
