A beautiful hotel with amazing staff, so close to many of Vienna’s famous spots!
Hotel was in a lovely old building, very beautifully decorated. Staff was amazing. Rooms were small but very comfortable and clean. This hotel is so close to galleries museums and of course the Opera House in Vienna. could not have found a more convenient and pleasant place to stay. Highly recommended.

Very convenient location, good room, comfy bed and great shower
Location is very central, near the Opera House and the metro and tram. The building and decor is lovely. The room was good, not very big, but perfectly adequate for just one person. Great bathroom with wonderful shower. Big TV screen.
It would have been nice to have body lotion in the bathroom.

Motel One in autumn
Best location, best morning breakfast, impressive enterance hall and bar.
Room is very basic though big enough. No coffee machine, no fridge, no cubord, only tiny stack of small shelved, small bathroom, basic soaps, shampoo, no normal glasses for drinking only paper ones, no makeup table with mirror in front. I am stating all this because the price is quite high per night. In this sense we were disappointed. But all and all - location is so good and breakfast as well, that we ignore the rest...

Great location, very walkable
Staff are friendly and accommodated an early check in. Close to the opera house, and very walkable to the shops, museums, and palaces nearby. Honestly a great location. There is a restaurant onsite and a good lobby area to sit and hangout. Close to the metro for easy access.
No mini fridge (I like to keep chilled water or some fruit in my rooms), the room was a little small. Oddly there is no fan in the bathroom so showering makes a sauna and smells can linger.

A lovely stay in a clean compact, stylish hotel perfectly located for exploring Wien.
The location was a standout. Subway Line U1near hotel. easy to get from Wien Central Station. The Opera House steps away, also surrounded by shops, dining, cafes, bars and sights within walking distance. further away sights reachable by efficient transport options. The hotel was very clean, foyer and bar stunning. Quiet small but comfortable room, basic amenities (Queen, upper level-lift access) Staff pleasant.
Provision of tea, coffee, making amenities ,water, in-room mini fridge, would have made this ,more value for money.

Great location. Great value.
Great location. Walkable to all our activities. Modern, clean rooms. They had a room ready for us to check-in when we had a morning arrival from the US. It was a great bonus to be able to wash up and get organized after an overnight flight. They also had a secure place to store luggage on our checkout day.

It was modern, clean, comunication was easy, the room was ready at 10am and even if the location could be noisy it was perfectly soundproof.

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!
