Good Hotel in a great location
We booked two rooms for four people with no breakfast. My in laws got the room that was booked and shown in the app. We got an free upgrade which had a bigger bed and and the room was larger. Everything was clean and the staff was friendly. Nothing exceptional but for a few days totally worth it. Location is great with underground train lines, light rail and Bus Service only a few hundred meters away.

An enjoyable visit and I would be happy to recommend Motel One and also to stay there again.
Excellent breakfast. Very good location. Plenty of comfortable seating areas and the bar staff were really friendly, efficient and helpful. Everywhere was very clean and the staff were all very efficient and helpful.
The bedroom was very small and basic. Nowhere to put clothes. 3 hangers but no wardrobe so I could not unpack my case. The shower was excellent but no shower cap supplied.

Excellent bar service enhanced stay!
From checking in to departure, everything went well.
Steps in breakfast area made carrying food both difficult and dangerous for older folk.

Beautiful hotel in a great location
The hotel was immaculate - so clean and we loved the modern design. It’s in an excellent location close to the opera and city centre. Our room was on the 4th floor and was quiet and the bed was super comfy. The bar was lovely as well with a great selection of spirits. Tip: ask for tap water or you’ll be charged €6.50 for a 70cl bottle.
Nothing.

Perfect value for money stay on the Ringstrasse
Excellent location for the Staatsoper, very comfortable and modern - a home away from home on the Ringstraase
Difficult to find my room through all the fire doors - but I can’t object to safety doors

Clean and comfortable with awesome access to opera and city transit
Conveniently located near the opera house and across the street from a parking garage (not included in price of the room, but it was worth it so we didn’t have to walk across the city to find a place for our rental car — also it was not the hotel’s discounted garage, which is a few blocks away). The bed was comfortable, and the windows were able to open to enjoy the views. The street market is just around the corner and the opera is steps away as well as the metro and tram stops. Great location for tourists to see the city.
The room was quite small, but typical for a big city.

All ok with MotelOne. I will be a guest again.
Location, since it's one block form the Staatsoper. And each time I go to Vienna is to go to Staatsoper for some performance. The personnel at MotelOne is overall very kind and helpful. Some of them a little less but maybe they have to learn better. On this trip I was especially unlucky because on the arrival day, my wallet with cash and credit cards was stolen in central Vienna. And I needed the help of the girl at the reception to scan some document to be sent to the insurance. And she was extremely kind and understanding. Many thanks ! And I always like the lounge of MotelOne. Nice personnel and nice ambiance

Pleasant stay, excellent location.
Spacious common areas with beautiful interior design details.
Somewhat disappointing was the poor choice of hot food for breakfast (only boiled eggs) but the fresh pastries were nice.

Hotel in the heart of Vienna, excellent location. Nice design, beautiful old building, reconstracted with taste. Breakfast was good, wide choice of pastry and bread, lots of choice for vegans as well. Very nice waiter who was walking amoung people offering sweet pastry or fruit - original, personal approach, we liked it. Price - quality very good, our stay fulfilled our demands.
We missesed a bit wider choice of warm meals for breakfast - like scrambled eggs, sausages. There were only cooked eggs.

Lovely hotel in Vienna
The rooms were large and had lovely views of the city. Very close to all main attractions, modern, clean, great lounge areas

The location is great, easy to get from the airport with public transportation, and in a central location to walk around the city.
The room was in a good size but the toilet and shower is in a bit small space. There is no minibar or similar in the room to save something cold for latet

It was the perfect hotel for our trip to Vienna.
The location is perfect for a city trip. It’s just a one minute walk to the opera, or if you like to go shopping just a 2 minutes walk to one of the most popular shopping streets.
