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.”

Excellent location, staff were pleasant/nice and restaurant was excellent.
The hotel itself was wonderful overall. Staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. The restaurant on top floor was amazing. Ate there for breakfast and dinner.
One of 2 elevators was out of service. Not too bad though. Small boutique hotel so worked out fine.

Wonderful first visit to Vienna!
The room was fantastic, the front desk staff were friendly and helpful, arranging transport to the airport, and the location was great. Numerous restaurants and coffee shops are nearby. Next to the U-bahn was a plus. Room and hotel was quiet.
I can't think of any negative.

Great!
Really beautiful hotel. Perfect interior design, the smallest details were thought of. The beds are comfortable, the towels are soft and thick, everything is perfectly clean. Staff too kind, for example I forgot my mobile phone when we checked out and they sent them by taxi to the airport very quickly. On the roof of the hotel is a great restaurant for breakfast as well as a bar. The location is ideal. I will definitely come to this hotel again when I come to Vienna.
The only bas thing is that there are two elevators, one was’t working, so it is always crowded and there is a long wait.

We absolutely loved our 3 night stay at Hotel Motto — it’s the most gorgeous boutique hotel in Vienna. The room was stunning, beautifully decorated, and a lovely size. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and everything about the design and atmosphere made it feel so chic, like stepping back in time in the best possible way. We knew in advance that breakfast wasn’t included, which wasn’t an issue for us at all as there are so many bakeries and cafe very close by. The staff were fantastic — warm, professional, and always helpful. The location suited us perfectly: while it’s not right in the center of the old town, we knew that beforehand, and it made exploring Vienna really easy. We honestly could not have asked for more in terms of our accommodation. If you’re looking for a stylish, elegant, and truly special boutique hotel, Hotel Motto is an absolute gem. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Luxe stay in foodie neighbourhood, would come back!
Stunning decor, well designed room (esp for sharing with another person in a twin). Bonus it's got a rooftop, nice restaurant/bar and sauna.
I thought the staff in the restaurant could have been a bit more accommodating - esp as we were hotel guests.

Comfort, convenience....... and classy stay!
We loved everything about Hotel Motto
We enjoyed everything about Hotel Motto: welcome drink, lobby staff were exceptional, location, terrace bar( although host on our last night could have been more professional), restaurant ( waiter was wonderful!), and overall Hotel aesthetic was impressive ( all details throughout property connected!). We loved our peacock room; gorgeously appointed room. We cant wait to return!

Beautiful hotel, great service and amazing location!
• The location was incredible!! Bus station, metro station less than a minute’s walk from the hotel- and if you just wanna walk around the city you are located right in a central street with plenty of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and in a vibrant and simply fun strolling area. Also, close enough to walk to most of the attractions and catch more of the city’s amazing views on the way. • The hotel itself is beautiful and designed in a romantic architectural style with a modern twist that gives a sense of calm, you can see the thought behind the small details. • The room itself is well planned and not small, beds were comfortable, there was plenty of closet space and the air conditioning worked great which is important since not all places throughout the city even had air conditioning. • The service at the hotel was exceptional! You were always welcomed with a smile and willingness to help and serve the best they could, whether at the reception or the restaurant (which btw was really delicious and not at all pricey compared to other breakfast places in the city) As for the value for money, completely worth it! The hotel itself in comparison to other hotels that I’ve checked in the area even cost less than most other places
Nothing! Everything was perfect 😍

Amazing hotel with great people
Great hotel. Staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Always there to help with questions or suggestions. Would stay here if ever going back to Vienna
Property was in a great location right beside a metro. Nice places nearby to eat and very easy to travel around Vienna from the location. Rooms are very nice and could’ve spent longer here

Fantastic location with great staff and rooms.
The staff were very attentive and the room was very clean and stunning. The location was perfect for travelling around the city and the dining area is very nice.
The room lacked an adequate trash can and refrigerator. The refrigerator only hosted items for purchase leaving very little room for food. Other than that, the room was great.

Beautifully decorated and appointed. Lovely building, sympathetically restored. Great attention to detail in the room. Roof bar was great atmosphere and amazing views. Really conveniently located close to the underground - and top breakfast at Motto Brot. Thanks so much - we really enjoyed our stay!
Nothing! At busy times, best to book a table in the bar.

Crooissannt and coffe in the morning. Gin tonic in the evening. Vienna from the rooftop.
Great location. It’s on Mariahilfer street (pedestrian zone with lots of shops). It’s 10 minute walk to the market (interesting food there) or you can take the subway to the city center (3 stops). Subway entrance is a cross the street. We strolled down the Mariahilfer street to downtown (cathedral) and came back by subway. Hotel has its own bakery with really good coffee (I’m a coffee fan). The bakery has a terrace on the Mariahilfer street. We finished the day in a hotel’s rooftop bar. If coming by car, a garage entrance (with lift) is across the street.

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.
