Expert reviews

CN Traveler review:

“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.”

Featured in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2022 Hotlist.

Fabulous

The hotel is gorgeous. We didn't want to leave! The staff were wonderful, so friendly and helpful. Love all the extras like late check out, cocktail kit and option of late cleaning service if you wanted a long morning.

Some of the towels were a bit raggedy and we would have liked a larger bath towel. But this is a very minor point.

Fantastic experience - I’m already excited to stay at Motto Hotel again if I get the chance!

The location was incredible - right in the heart of Mariahilferstraße - yet our room was exceptionally quiet. Despite being so central, we didn’t notice any of the hustle and bustle from the street. Truly exceptional. Unfortunately, it was snowing and very cold in Vienna during our stay, so we’re tempted to book Motto Hotel again in summer just to enjoy the beautiful rooftop terrace in warmer weather. The view is fantastic and, once again, makes you forget that you’re right in the middle of the city. We honestly didn’t expect our stay to be this relaxing :D

If I had to mention one small point of criticism, it would probably be that the restaurant upstairs seemed slightly understaffed during breakfast hours. Since it’s not exclusive to hotel guests and appeared to be a particularly busy morning for business meetings, we ended up waiting quite a while for our food. We also found ourselves unintentionally listening in on several rather heated (business) discussions, which maybe wasn’t the most relaxing start to the day. That said, I do want to emphasize that the staff working that morning were extremely friendly and did their best despite how busy it got.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely perfect - close to everything we needed, with easy access to attractions, restaurants, and public transport. It made exploring the area so convenient and enjoyable. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Everything was well organized and made us feel at home. A special thank you to the staff - they were incredibly friendly, professional, and always open for communication. They were helpful with recommendations and made sure all our questions were answered promptly. Overall, a great experience. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Stylish, value for money and a great location for a city break.

The decor in the hotel was very chic, extending to the rooms which are comfortable, clean and have everything you need for a city stay. Location is very good too, being right next to the entrance for the U3 subway. The main city sights of the Rathaus, Kunst museum, Hofburg palace with the Sissi museum and Spanish horses are all in relatively easy walking distance. The staff were friendly and very helpful. As vegetarians in a city of enthusiastic meat eaters, reception gave us two excellent recommendations for places to eat. All together a great two night stay. I would recommend and return.

The associated restaurant on the top floor is a great place for breakfast, but this is the only public space of any size.

The location and the hotel is amazing, but there is no room surface like other hotels that I knew so you will have to help yourself if you want towels or water or anything

The robe surface just for cleaning they will not bring you water or towels

Amazing location and pretty decor

I loved the location! Literally right beside the underground. We were steps away from shops and restaurants. The decor in the hotel and rooms is so so pretty. The bed was comfortable and the amenities were great to and a lovely touch. We did not get to use the relaxation area but we have a look at it and it looked really nice. The staff where so friendly and helpful and were able to ask any questions we had

The only negative I had was it took over 5minutes for my shower to heat up.. but apart from this I have no issues or complaints at all

Beautiful and comfortable, it was a real joy to stay here!

I loved the decor and the quality of the finishes. The food and service were impeccable. The facilities (fitness area) were beautiful and relaxing as well. The location was great, though not central, public transportation was very close and easy to use. I loved the little touches in the room, like the toiletries and snacks.

The only thing I didn’t like was the lack of top sheets as I would get hot and sweaty at night and had no thin layer as an option. The wall along the sink under the mirror, did not seem clean.

Beautiful entrance and lobby. Wonderful room and very clean.

There wasn't a single thing I didn't like. The people were kind, the vibes were great, and the location was perfect. It was a bit of a long walk from the Belvedere and other museums, but nothing unmanageable.

Gorgeous stay, outstanding location

The property location is perfectly situated near Mariahilferstrasse, had a close parking garage (hard to find in the city!), and is BEAUTIFULLY designed and decorated. The cherry on top is the gorgeous restaurant on the top floor with views overlooking the city. The staff were very attentive and friendly.

It was unique, stylish, and memorable. The bakery was out of this world. They even came around with a cart of free drinks to your room in the evening! You could tell every last detail of this hotel was well-thought out, and the customer service was exceptional.

Most things I wanted to go to were about a 15-20 minute walk, which was fine.

Fabulous and memorable!

The aesthetics of the hotel/rooms and the restaurant. Also the location is great with lots of hip locations around (Bistro Fantasy etc). I loved the cocktail/drinks offers going through the hotel corridor ✨

I’ve found the two gym machines too little, they - in my opinion - should be replaced with non-manual machines and also one cross trainer. Also, the spa door should be always closed to the gym as it unnecessarily heats up the gym.

Lovely staff, unique funky decor, lovely rooms. The hotel manager made us all homemade cookies on Christmas and they were delicious and so thoughtful!!

If you like to leave your windows open maybe ask to be on the back side of the building. Beautiful view from the front but on a major bus route and is loud all through the night. It's mostly ok with the windows shut.

Staff were great and we loved the cocktail served to our room. The top floor restaurant was excellent. Our room was compact but worked well.

The location was a bit out of the way, but it was helpful to have the metro right at our doorstep. Our son's room was very small. We were disappointed not to be able to use the spa on Saturday due to a private party on the top floor.

Nice Hotel in a central location

The rooms were comfortable and well equipped and the restaurant although I recommend booking for dinner as we couldn’t get a suitable table either evening was excellent for breakfast.

Reception were distant and didn’t bother to look up from their pc’s on leaving and returning to the hotel which I think for a tourist accommodation provider ime helps make a little difference to your stay for guests or maybe it’s the Austrian culture perhaps.

The stay was absolutely fantastic and far exceeded our expectations.

We didnt take breakfast we used the Motto deli. However we did eat on the 7th floor restaurant, Chez Bernard one evening and has an excellent meal with superb service.

There was very little to change. The only minor thing would be to change the coffee cups in the hotel rooms to ones which have handles, or provide guests with gloves!
