Hotel Motto, Vienna
Expert reviews
“This is a lovingly designed, fully homegrown, and very reasonably priced (from $245 per night) hotel that gives guests a vivid insight into contemporary Viennese life while being swooningly infatuated with 1920s Paris. Oh, and the hotel’s ensuite bakery does the softest, flakiest sourdough croissants in town.”

Beautiful accommodation in a great location
The rooms were beautiful and the extra touches added for our honeymoon were a great welcome
Not a lot of storage space for bags

Very good
We enjoyed our stay in such a modern and lovely room with all what you need. The location is great to access the city centre and the room is big enough to spend the time comfortably for work. Plus friendly and helpful staff!
It was a shame to find some spots in the linens and towels, but still acceptable. Equipping more plugs in a room would be helpful.

Gorgeous little bolt hole away from the city centre
Super stylish, modern and contemporary furnishings. Kooky. Great breakfast and roof terrace. Staff were great, especially the night manager who was full of energy and passion for Vienna, despite our time of night of arrival.
The gym, sauna and steam room is small (the steam room only fits 1 or a couple), we were hoping for more of a spa experience. That said, it was the perfect end to a day of sightseeing and no one else came in while we were there.

The location of the hotel is very central and the metro station is just around the corner. Very convenient for sightseeing. The bed and the shower are all very comfortable. Breakfast on the 7th floor was also surprisingly good! Will definitely choose this hotel if I come again to Vienna.

Very pleasant flying visit to Vienna
This was a nicely designed, comfortable hotel in a good location. We arrived just after 7am after a long flight and catching the train from the airport and our room was ready, HUGE bonus! Sandra on reception was so friendly and helpful as was the other young woman who checked us out, lovely.
The room was very small but I knew that when I booked it and it was only for two nights.

Was a nice stay overall, the only thing we didn’t like was the location
It’s new, we liked the design, it’s cozy. They really paid great attention to the details when they made this hotel. The staff in the hotel is very nice, but unfortunately at the rooftop restaurant, they don’t have a nice attitude, from the manager to the waiters. The only nice waiter there was the asian lady who was extremely nice, but other than her, all the men were super rude.
It’s pretty far from the center (30 min walk in real life) and the area is a bit scary at night. We didn’t feel comfortable when we were arriving at night back at the hotel. We wouldn’t stay here again because of the location which is a pity because the hotel is really nice

We loved the staff both of the lobby, cleaning staff and the amazaing rooftop restaurant staff! This was one of our best experiences from the human point of you. The location is perfect and in a nice part of the city, 20m from the metro station. We highly recommend!
The only pity is lack of a breakfast included.

Great location, gorgeous rooms and a lovely rooftop bar too.
Loved the decor it was something a bit different.
The towels provided were tiny, what I would call almost hand towel size. For the price and paying for a deluxe room I would have liked an actual bath towel.

great stay overall and exceptional staff, but the fabric wall raises cleaniness concern
the hotel front desk staff was extremely helpful, understanding with requests given my special circumstances. great at problem solving. the view from window is very austrian. location is perfect - walkable to lots of fun places and convenience stores, famous gelato and bakery, multiple subway (u-bahn) entrance right at hotel doors. popular even at night. queit, blackout curtain. great shower pressure. have a decent restaurant and bakery at the hotel. dry clean service. great lighting in room. room overall looks tidy, aesthetic pleasing, and comfortable -- would have been perfect if not the fabric and silverfish issue (see below).
the fabric on the wall and bed frame makes the room prone to sliverfish.. which I ran into a couple times at toilet at night. it is harmless but still makes me less relaxed at room. the fabric looks hard to clean which raises cleaniess concern. the staff at the hotel restaurant and bakery can sometimes be a little cold. the dish quality at the hotel restaurant is not very consistent, sometimes impressive, sometimes weird - even got a fly onto my soup once. the tv screen was on at check in, even if you don't turn it on - then gives an unexpected bright light through the closet at night -- was scared and annoyed - but once i turned it off its fine. no in-room service, need to go to restaurant.

Location and style.
Rooms are a bit small, but still ok.

Believe the hype - excellent location, fantastic decor, comfortable, and helpful, friendly staff.
Incredibly stylish without sacrificing comfort. I will dream of that shower for a long time. The location was excellent, a simple 15 minute walk from the Ringstraße, and on a lovely walking street with great shops and restaurants (and right above a metro stop!). Rooftop bar was lovely as well and make sure you try the Rosita cocktail at Chez Bernard!
Nothing - one of the best stays I’ve ever had.

Lovely hotel. Room was beautifully decorated. The location was perfect for us. It's above a metro stop, so all parts of the city are easily accessible.
We didn't have any complaints whatsoever.

The hotel was beautiful! The staff were incredibly welcoming and kind. We were greeted by a member of staff with welcome drinks. I believe her name was Johanna and I would like to thank her for her outstanding restaurant recommendations, my mum and I had such a lovely visit!

Our stay at Hotel Motto was excellent. The staff was extremely helpful from the very beginning until the check-out. Possibility to contact the reception via WhatsApp was so handy and we received the response immediately. Our room was very comfortable, well equipped and clean, and we appreciated the AC during an extremely hot week.

A stunning show-stopping boutique hotel experience that doesn't disappoint.
Seamless experience from front desk staff to the room, to the restaurant. All excellent and on brand. We especially loved the room decor - so beautiful.
A view out the window would have been nice. Maybe a less complicated light switch situation.

Excellent decor, location was perfect, helpful staff and great rooftop.
No facecloths. Small cups with no handles. Restaurant wasn’t open when we were there.

Boutique property with a funky yet chic vibe.
Restaurant/bar is overrated

Amazing location, great hotel: hit the perfect mix of boutique, chic and comfort.
Rooms were great, breakfast was amazing,
but... there was no desk and chair. I know you're not a "business" hotel, but I could really have used one.

We would definitely stay here again. We really enjoyed Vienna and Hotel MOTTO
We loved everything about the property. The location was great, with a subway stop right outside the door. Great coffee shop across the street. Clean and luxury finishes. We ate at the restaurant one night and it was fantastic. We also enjoyed the rooftop bar!
