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.”

Amazing
Great location , rooms were so lovely and had everything you could wish for - the most comfortable beds we have ever stayed in anywhere! Very easy to access airport by train, walkable distance to a lot of Christmas markets, nice cafe Ritter across the road

Cleanliness, comfortable beds, chic design rooms. Location
A/c was not particularly cooling, perhaps off during winter. We found the room a tad warm.

An excellent base when visiting Vienna
We enjoyed four very comfortable nights here. The hotel is in an excellent location right next to an underground station, with easy access to the attractions of the city and the airport. The rooms are stylish and very comfortable, and the hotel staff go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience. We would definitely come here again!

Fabulous stay at this very chic boutique hotel in a superb location with the most wonderful staff.
Absolutely fabulous hotel. Staff were incredible. We felt so relaxed in this beautiful hotel, the ambience was perfect for us as a couple. The reception staff are all wonderful. So helpful and fun. The bar was just a beautiful place to end each evening, relaxed, but vibrant. Wonderful staff to chat to.

Perfect 👌 loved everything.
Breakfast at Chez Bernard was exceptional, lots to choose from and excellent quality. Staff were first class, always with a smile, polite and respectful. Nothing was too much trouble. The attention to detail beyond belief, at breakfast even the straws matched your juice/smoothie. Lovely touch, Santa left a small sack of goodies on our door one morning, contained, a lindt santa, waffers, satsumas and monkey nuts with a label on saying 'hohoho'. Decor of the hotel was fabulous, EVERYTHING you could wish for. Mini bar so well stocked. The TV behind a mirrored cabinet was pure genius. Loved the materialled walls so luxurious. A glass of fizz on arrival was such a lovely touch, whilst we checked in. Location was perfect, most sights within walking distance and right next door to the train, could not hear anything, so well sound proofed. Slippers and robes supplied. Would recommend booking Chez Bernard's it is so popular and well worth a visit. Would definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed. The hotel arranged a taxi from the airport to the hotel, made transfer so easy.
As Chez Bernard's is so popular, it would be nice to have a guest lounge to relax.

A Real Boutique Gem
Loved my stay! The hotel has a unique, beautifully curated décor, and the spacious room was full of charm. The rooftop is stunning — perfect for a quiet morning coffee with a view. The staff were warm and genuinely helpful, and the whole place feels both luxurious and cozy. Great location too. Highly recommended!

We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Motto. The boutique style gives the whole place a special charm, and the little touches like the surprise Santa Klaus gift made it feel even more personal and thoughtful. The location is perfect for exploring the city, with public transport right on the doorstep, making it super easy to get around. Everything was spotless and well maintained throughout our stay. The restaurant is fabulous from delicious breakfasts to great dinners and lovely evening cocktails, it quickly became one of our favourite spots. We truly felt well looked after, as the staff were friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Our room had this glam, cute vibe and came with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, Hotel Motto exceeded our expectations, and we’d happily stay again!

If you’re looking for a central location with a very romantic vibe- this is the spot!
Great location to explore the city. Rooms were wonderfully appointed, beds super comfy & esthetic very appealing to the eye! Extremely close to Ubahn station too!
Shelf in the toilet room would have been nice.

Fun hotel in a great location.
The little touches were great. I loved the decor and the staff was so helpful.
The room was so hot. They turn the AC off in the winter and we had to open the window to the loud street below to cool it off.

Good.
My room was very lovely, the decorations are really nice
The bathroom had a very weird smell and i did address it to the staff but nothing happened. There was one receptionist that wasn’t very friendly, barely smiled and did not make me feel comfortable. Maybe the staff needs more training on how to be hospitable and welcoming. The location is not the best in Vienna. Most of the main attractions are almost 20-30 mins away.

Everything about this stay was amazing, celebrating my birthday here was the best decision! Thanks to jennifer and the team for being super friendly and delightful!

The hotel was in a great location and staff were friendly and very helpful. They gave us recommendations for restaurants and Christmas markets and even for things to do in Salzburg, our next destination! We loved our room, it was cosy and the beds comfortable. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas - very atmospheric for this time of year. We had breakfast each morning in the restaurant and it was delicious. Highly recommend.
Nothing, every thing was terrific

Stunning hotel! Excellent location, Clean, functional rooms everything you need in the room, The design is amazing thought and creativity has been put into every corner.. Lovely! Courteous reception staff! One evening they treated us to drinks on the house that arrived at the door in a bar cart A pleasure!

The staff were very friendly and always ready to help or chat. We had an amazing stay!
The unexpected visit of a bar cart in the room and that a staff member made some cocktails in the room was such a nice experience
The pillows were very thin

Chic and romantic hotel perfect for a weekend as a couple.
The hotel is situated on a large shopping street with everything you need and directly off the metro line which makes getting from and to the airport so easy! The rooms are gorgeous, every detail is thought of and the chic vibe was what we were looking for.
I liked having an individual comforter so that I didn’t need to share but it was a little too narrow - I would have preferred the next size up in order to wrap myself up in maximum cosy mode.

I loved Hotel Motto. I stayed twice and will book again if I'm back in Vienna
Great atmosphere, amenities, comfortable bed. Staff was very warm and helpful. Great location. Room was quite small but very pleasant. Wonderful spa and fitness room. Meals at Chez Bernard upstairs were wonderful, with a great view, and bread and pastries at Motto Brot just next door were fantastic.
The room was small and the toilet not located directly near the sink, but that didn't matter very much as the fixtures and room decor were so pleasant.

Excellent, room was beautiful! Staff were extremely nice and friendly! Will definitely be returning
Extremely friendly staff! We got engaged and they celebrated with us like family!

Date night place
The hotel is so unusual- unique! It’s a perfect place for couples only. Wonderful and sensual place. Loved all the little details. Definitely a place to come back to. Restaurant was fantastic and food is delicious!
I would strongly suggest to have hygienic shower in the toilet. It would make lots of things easier.

Brilliant place to stay
A fantastic place to stay! So convenient to all the attractions around Vienna and in a great area. The room was top notch, clean and very well appointed. The styling was very cool and it was clean, and the high ceilings really add a feeling of grandeur. The staff were all very friendly and happy to help with anything and knew the area well. There's also a classic Viennese coffee haus across the road which was a great surprise, and not too busy for a quick stop after a long day. Top tier!
Nothing - will definitely stay again.

Extraordinary hotel with cool design and beautiful rooms

Really amazing interior architecture, and design located close to the heart of Vienna.
This was a unexpected surprise hotel when it came to the interior decor and design. What a pleasant place to stay with amazing architecture. The rooms utilized every square inch with beautiful tapestry like wall coverings to hide the refrigerator, sink, etc. in what was a suite. Very conveniently located with an easy walk of approximately 15 to 20 minutes into the heart of the old city. The staff was very helpful. Would highly recommend this hotel for someone staying in Vienna.

Everything ! The staff were exceptional, the welcome drink made such a wonderful first impression and the room decor was magic. The dining room was lovely, great menu , and the cocktails delicious too!
Absolutely nothing.

Final night in Vienna and wanted a chic cozy hotel, and it was a perfect location for visiting Museum Quarter .
Great location and aesthetics. Walking distance to museums, shopping, etc. Staff in hotel is fabulous. You are greeted with a cocktail when checking in. Art throughout. Lovely hotel.with a phenomenal gourmet restaurant with excellent ambiance, food and service. . Also a rooftop bar and restaurant with limited casual food. Average views but nice to be on rooftop. Pretty and cozy rooms.
Visited early September which is apparently end of season for fresh produce. Dined on rooftop and food and service was average and they couldn’t even provide a fresh salad. Staff was not super attentive. Feel like it was the timing. During prime season probably better.

Really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The staff was very polite and accommodating.
The hotel was very modern and clean. The double room was spacious. The tube station is literally a 30 second walk from the hotel only 2 stops away from central attractions.
Room could do with a full length mirror and mini fridge for own items.
