For the price I paid, I expected a bigger room and the hotel is enormous, so there’s lots of corridors to walk to get to the room. the staff is great. The breakfast was ok, but should have more options

Best location possible, great breakfast, friendly staff, acceptable value-for-money
Bespite being on the 5th floor the room had no view at all since the little balcony was facing a wall. Bathroom was really "minimal" i.e. very very small.

Still a great place to stay in Vienna !
Fantastic location, clean, newish vibe, modern (not easy to find in Vienna)
Been staying there for many years. What used to be a very good price / and great value for money has come up quite a bit (as has the rest of the world, to be fair)

Absolutely fantastic stay!
This hotel exceeded all my expectations. It is perfectly located - within easy walking distance to all the main attractions, yet set in a peaceful area that allows for a truly relaxing stay. The entire property is spotlessly clean, and it’s clear that great care has been taken with every detail. Breakfast was a highlight - fresh, varied, and delicious, with plenty of options for every taste, including a well-thought-out vegan selection. The staff were warm, professional, and always ready to help, which made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, style, and excellent service, this is the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to friends!

Great hotel for your stay in Vienna!
Highly recommend staying at this hotel. The location is a 10 minute walk away from the central square, but very convenient. Everything at the hotel felt premium - the rooms, the lobby, the lobby bar - all were really nice. The AC worked well.
Everything was great!

Nice hotel to visit Vienna center by foot
Perfect location to visit Vienna center by foot. Metro is at 3 min away (3 lines). The hotel is in a beautiful and stylish old building and it is very clean (room cleaned every day). The bed was comfortable, the bathroom had everything we needed, the air conditioning worked very well. The staff is very professional and friendly. The ground floor (next to the reception area) has a very nice bar area, where you can spend time after dinner, to chat with friends (it is a tranquil place, not a noisy one). Breakfast was ok. I liked it more than other Motel One hotels that I stayed in.
You need to ask at the reception which of the 4 lifts you need to use (not all of them stop at all floors). Once you know which ones are your lifts, it's fine.

I only didnt like that there isnt water, tea or coffee as complementary in the room. At least a small bottle of water in the room would be so good.

Comfy hotel in an excellent location
Excellent location, very clean. The building itself is stunning. The bed was comfortable and the shower was very good. The double windows provide good sound insulation for a good night's sleep. For those with thick hair, I'd recommend bringing your own hair dryer as the one in the room lacks power.
The hair dryer lacked power.

The lobby is good, very nice place to spend your evening after a long day in vienna. The beds are comfortable But that’s it! There is no safe, water, coffee machine, kettle, slippers, lotion, conditioner, or anything that you would find in any other hotel. The location is very good If you’re looking for a clean place to sleep in while being in vienna go for it.

Perfect location for exploring the popular sights of Vienna and close public transport connections
Excellent location for exploring all the important sights on foot, but also the hotel is just one minute away from Karlsplatz U4 metro station. Breakfast is a wonderful array of organic produce, plus good to see a selection of non-dairy milk for the lactose intolerant. There could have been more fresh fruit
No minibar in the rooms. The layout of the corridors is a labyrinth, a bit more signage would help

Modern, clean hotel – pleasant and bright entrance and lobby. We got a room on the 4th floor, facing the street towards Karlsplatz. The room was perfectly fine and bright. Excellent, tasty breakfast. Great location close to the city center, right next to the metro. Excellent value for money!
The pillows in the room were personally too high for us.

Good location. The reception area was nice and bright with a lovely bar area. I stayed in the Single room which was small but had everything I needed.
Staff weren't overly friendly but we did get to check in early which was nice.
