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.

Great location
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.

This is the 4th time I stayed at this hotel. I enjoy the location, rooms and personnel
I would like to appreciate work of Elif Ahmet who cleaned my room during my stay - she was always smiling, positive, hospitable, delicate, quick at work and very professional.
I had to look for a seat to have a breakfast during 15 min

Affordable chic in the heart of Vienna!
Perfect location for exploring Vienna’s Innere Stadt, trains, restaurants, and museums. The staff is first rate from check-in to check-out. The room was operating room clean with high-end linens and fixtures, A/C, opening windows, and tons of outlets/USB ports. The bar was open late, with a wonderful staff and reasonable prices. We loved this!
We loved it all!

Excellent hotel, perfect location
It’s a period Viennese palace, renovated inside to Motel One’s modern design; a combination that worked well. It’s one block from the Ringstrasse & opera house, & close to the major museums & cafes. Perfect location. My room, at the back, had a view of Karlsplatz, with the secession building & St Charles church in the distance.

The property is at the center of the Innerestadt 1 (city center). You can reach all of the historical facilities and shopping malls by walk.
Breakfast options is presented as a optional in booking page. I could lead to misunderstanding. They stated their breakfast option “pay at the property”. In addition their rooms are small. They are not suitable couple who come with two middle size luggages. In the room there is not refrigerator and hotel slippers.

Amazing hotel in great location 😄
The hotel was amazing, it's in a great location close to the city centre and to the MuseumsQuartier. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the view was great. The room was also ready well before check in, so we could check in a lot earlier (at around 11), which was great.
The only thing I would add to the rooms are fridges/ minibars, but everything else is great.

Beautiful historic city with grand oppulence.
Good location, close to public transportation & many of Vienna‘s important sites. Beautiful lobby, nice quiet room overlooking the courtyard. Appreciated the name of the hotel on the roof as we could spot it as we were making our way around.
Although the ceilings were nice and high, the overall room was a bit small, not however unusual for a European hotel.

Superb as always
It's the second time I'm in this hotel. The location is just perfect, within walking distance of the city center with many bars and restaurants. The rooms are comfortable and clean and very practical. Staff was very helpful and attentive. Breakfast had a nice variety and was very tasty.

Better than expected.
Location is superb, near the opera. My room was small, but very "efficient". Breakfast was good, like in a 4-star hotel. Everything looked clean and fresh. For a short stay it's ideal. And very convenient cancellation time...

An excellent hotel very close to the opera house and easy to get to
I didn’t have breakfast
I can’t think of anything as when I visit Vienna, I always stay at your hotel

We love Motel One hotels. Room was comfortable and breakfast was super tasty. We are really appreciate that hotel exchange our room in front of the elevater to another one. Hotel is close to the center.
What I feel as paint point of most of this hotels is absence of any wardrobe and fact that all our clothes must be somewhere in the room or stay in the bag.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely outstanding! The staff were incredibly kind and professional, the rooms were spotless and very comfortable. I especially appreciated the warm atmosphere and genuine hospitality that was felt from the moment I arrived. The location is perfect – peaceful yet close to everything you need. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

I regularly used to stay there because of the central location and the reasonable prices. Very standard modern hotel with a very nice lobby and efficient management.
Prices have become higher and the service in the rooms is minimal (no boiler, coffee or tea in the 200€/night rooms for instance).

Very good value for money, very comfortable, excellent location
Excellent location, great view, very comfortable and spacious room and bathroom
The sink had some hair in it when we arrived. Also, there was no switch to control the main light by the bed so we had to get up and go to the main door whenever we wanted to turn it off. Lastly, it would have been nice to have a phone in the room to reach the reception.

Nice place for a short stay
Very close to all main locations! Belvedere 15 min, Opera 2 min, historical center 10 min by foot. Modern, clean hotel. Breakfast is OK, but very limited. Overall if you do not need anything luxury / extra, this is a very convenient option for a short stay.
Soundproofing between room and hallway is average, but it did not disturb us much (generally it’s very quiet during the night). Breakfast is very crowded.

Comfortable Stay in a Well-Connected Location
The hotel is in a good location—not right next to the main station but still well connected by public transport, so getting around was easy. The area felt safe and had a few nice spots nearby to grab a bite. The room was clean, modern, and cozy. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
