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.”

Quirky, romantic and unique hotel in the centre of it all!
Loved the room, and the special touches like the welcome cocktail. Location was central but soundproofing great so that you couldn't hear the bustle! Also a lovely rain shower, and a fantastic bar/restaurant on the top floor.
The sheets were never changed despite a 4 night stay, otherwise no complaints!

Nice attention to detail
Gorgeous room. Lovely building. Great restaurant and bar. Nice attention to detail. Amazing bakery and cakes next door / downstairs. Roof terrace was nice with the sunny days & sauna / spa was also nice.
Just one thing my husband said pillows could have been better & the steam room was a bit small but that said couldn’t fault the hotel.

Exceeded expecations
Everything. The restaurant was great too. I will return here on my next visit to Vienna. Whilst on this trip, which was part business and part leisure, I also stayed in a 5 star in the centre of town. I preferred Hotel Motto. The area is not as touristy and it seemed more grounded in Vienna.

It was surprisingly truly perfect.
I loved this sweet hotel/ Our room #408 was a corner room with amazing tile, glass, and space features including a little studio kitchen behind a fabric covered folding door. So so cool and great use of space. we were super content to hang out in the room. I felt like we were in a curated design exhibit that was so warm, comfortable and user friendly with great light and delightful details. Don't hesitate. Motto is a great and lovely spot. We ate breakfast both mornings in the restaurant up stairs which we learned is a popular local, not tourist brunch spot. I could have sat in that lovely room for hours. Felt like being in a plant filled geodesic almost dome. The food was tasty and beautiful and reasonably priced. I highly recommend the location and the hotel. The staff to a person was helpful, kind and truly sweet.
I liked everything.

Amazing hotel in a great location
Hotel Motto was amazing! We had a beautiful room with everything you could think of for a very comfortable stay. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant, the food was perfect and the staff were faultlessly friendly and efficient. The front of house staff are welcoming and helpful. The building is very well designed with great interior design. We also tried the hotel bakery downstairs - incredible. Location was very nice, There are great shops and cafes nearby but easily walkable to everything else -the museum quarter etc and extremely easy for underground trains.
We would have liked the option of some firmer/fuller pillows which I am sure they would have provided if we had actually asked.

A wonderful stay at a very cool hotel in a great spot!
We loved the beautiful and very cool decor, the little touches, the great sound proofing, excellent room temperature control and the balcony. We also loved the restaurant upstairs and had a very memorable dinner at Chez Bernard as well as breakfast every day. We didn't get to use the terrace but it looked very inviting and had an amazing view. We had delicious bread from the bakery downstairs and all the staff were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We also loved the fitness room and sauna. The hotel was in the best spot for shopping, transport and restaurants. A wonderful stay!
We loved it all.

Great place to be based for Vienna visit.
Very high quality rooms and restaurant. Staff were super friendly and very helpful.

Very enjoyable, comfortable and we would stay here again.
The hotel was comfortable and well appointed. The fixtures, fittings, decoration and bedding were all very good quality. We had an inside room with a limited view of an inner courtyard but this did not detract from our stay.
The light switches in the room were very confusing and we often played switch tennis to find the right switch for the right light.

Luxury at a reasonable price
Very comfortable beds and good showers. Despite being on a busy shopping street, very peaceful due to good double glazing. The “chic” rooms are a good size, and well equipped. Right next to a tube station and a 15 minute walk from the centre.

Faultless. Highly recommend to anyone
Faultless. Wonderful place and the Chez Bernard is a great chillout for the end of the night. Staff were extremely hard working and so friendly.

Great location, and would stay again but will be requesting for thorough cleaning.
Great location, cosy and comfortable rooms. The restaurant on 7th floor has great vibes and nice for a drink in the evenings.
Breakfast is not included (which we knew) but it's a little too fancy for a holiday hotel breakfast - crowd is a little posh so you need to "dress up" for breakfast. Housekeeping isn't great. They do the beds and give you fresh towels but don't actually clean the room nor the bathroom. Our sink area was completely untouched during our entire stay (4 nights). Floor was never cleaned. So much dust in the cupboards.
2 April 2025
Extremely satisfied with our stay
Excellent location, room and facilities style and vibe, and staff.
The only thing that could be improved is the smell in the toilet. It seems that the door and wall fabric cladding absorbs smell, with result the smell to stay trapped inside the toilet. But overall and regardless of this, our stay at Hotel Motto exceeded our expectations!

Very nice hotel in the heart of Vienna, close walking distance to tourist areas
Don’t go expecting a big spa…it’s absolutely tiny. Can only fit 1 person in the steam room and only 2-3 people in the sauna. Limited room in the bar too, make sure you book

A wonderful stay , thank you .
The quirky , arty feel was so much better than anything I could have imagined! Refreshingly different and unique .
I have no negative comments save the fact that a small sitting/ reading room for residents would have been a welcome addition to the hotel . As there was nowhere to relax apart from our bedroom and of course the wonderful Chez Bernard restaurant.
