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.”

Nice hotel, good location, would recommend
Beautiful boutique hotel, located on a shopping street so plenty to do nearby, metro station right beside it also
The room we booked was very small, our friends booked the same room but it was a lot bigger…disappointing since we paid the same price

Elegant hotel with great location
Beautiful, stylish hotel . Everything about this hotel is stylish and high quality, it really feels like a luxury experience staying here . The reception area is beautiful, we were offered champagne on arrival. We loved our room which was spacious, very comfortable bed and a great shower . Good storage and efficient air conditioning. The location of this hotel is superb, right next to the U bahn station, a 15 minute walk from the museum’s quarter and surrounded by shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it. We had breakfast one morning in the impressive restaurant , where I could have stayed and people watched all day . The staff in the restaurant were incredibly attentive and the food was high quality.
These are only very minor points, the toilet in the room is a small enclosure which lacks ventilation, it would be better if an extractor was added to keep it fresh. We visited over Christmas when most shops were closed and restaurants fully booked. We had received an email from the hotel advising of the need to book the restaurant on Christmas Eve but not given any information about the need to book other evenings in advance. Unfortunately this meant we were unable to eat in the hotel restaurant which was very disappointing, I feel that hotel guests should have priority over the general public or at least it would have been helpful to have known of the need to book well in advance to secure a table. We naively thought we would be able to have drinks in the bar able without a reservation but this was not possible over the Christmas period. The hotel restaurant is stunning and obviously very popular with locals, we will definitely book in advance if we visit again.

Amazing would recommend to anyone and would stay again!
A very modern and luxe feeling hotel, great location for using the underground and walking to main locations, on the back of a shopping street so local amenities close by but rooms seem sound proofed (not sure if they are) but you get no noise from the street. Very clean and housekeeping seem to come quickly each day and stock the room. It would be nice to have water free of charge in the room as well as hot drinks. Breakfast at chez Bernard was also lovely!
There wasn’t room service available but a ‘self-service room service’ which seemed to be inconsistent between reception staff, some saying drinks from the restaurant would be available in our room and some saying it wouldn’t (we did manage to get hot chocolate from the restaurant in the room in the end but had to ask different employees).

Beautiful hotel!
What a stunning hotel. We absolutely loved the quirky but luxurious rooms. Dont miss the beautiful restaurant Chez Bernard which is on the rooftop. It is amazing. Stafff are all helpful and fantastic. Location we thought was a little way out but that is fine for us as we like walking. We would not hesitate to return to Hotel Motto.
The rooms are a little on the small side

Beautiful hotel with lovely staff
We did not do breakfast at the hotel although we used an excellent cafe across the road. The location is excellent close to shops, metro and attractions. The room was quiet, large with quality fixtures and lovely decor. It was great value for money but we did get a discount. There was a terraced area on the top floor but didn’t use it as the weather wasn’t suitable

Comfortable, cozy, would love to visit again.
The aesthetic is beyond stunning and the staff were so lovely and helpful! They always had an answer to any silly questions and they had an amazing attitude through out. The Christmas punch was such a wonderful treat to get back to. Many thanks to Nora and Ngan ♥️
The cleanliness left something to be desired as the room was somewhat dusty by the end of the stay, also used cups of coffee still had stains on the inside when I returned to the room at the end of the day. But when notified of any issue the staff is quick to respond which I appreciate a lot.

A comfortable and chic oasis in the heart of the city.
The location was excellent and well connected to various parts of the city by U-Bahn, walking or bus/tram. Interior was well thought out and shower pressure was very good! The provided toiletries were of excellent quality.
I would have preferred just a bit more floor space as it was awkward with large luggage but I also expected this outcome as I booked the smallest double room available, and made adjustments where I could.

Great hotel, comfy beds, and amazing showers.
The room was lovely, the bed was comfy, and the shower was hot and powerful! The staff were all excellent. It was my partners birthday, and we were served a complimentary cocktail in the room, which was a lovely surprise. We were also greeted with some delicious pastries on arrival.
The restaurant was very busy. You had to book far in advance to get a good time slot, which meant we didn't use it.

Fabulous hotel!
Fabulous hotel! Incredibly stylish decor! Everything is thought out to the smallest detail and every detail is made with love. The staff is very friendly! Excellent location, right at the entrance to the metro! Very close to the center. Nearby there is a street with shops and cafes. This was our first time staying in such a beautiful hotel! The New Year tree deserves special attention!
Everything was great and we enjoyed every moment!

Beautiful and comfortable, a great stay
This is a beautiful hotel, with old time charm combined with modern touch. The smell, the ambience (candles everywhere, and a beautiful Christmas tree), and the overall colour scheme make this a very relaxing environment. The staff checking me in and out at reception were lovely, even putting up with my poor German. The room was beautiful, with a comfortable bed, and great facilities. The organisation of the floors (with dividing doors and 'half' floors) heightened the sense of privacy and quiet. It's very conveniently located, with the subway entrance right next door. The cocktail recipes book in the room was cute. The food at the restaurant was good. I booked in advance and got a very good price, so the prive-quality proposition was great, but I realise prices are generally higher.
My comments are quite small. It would be nice to have bigger towels in the bathroom, as these are not big enough for the body (and I'm below average height). I had a petite double room and there was nowhere comfortable to sit and do some work, so that may also be something to consider when choosing rooms. The staff in the restaurant were not as friendly as those in reception, but perhaps they had set a high bar! The bottles for cocktails are big and, once opened, you have to pay for them in full. Smaller sizes for solo visitors not wanting to finish a whole bottle during their stay would be nice. Overall, a really great hotel, though!
