A comfortable and well-located stay with helpful staff, offering good value in the centre of Vienna.

The location is excellent—central enough to explore on foot, while still allowing us to return for a short rest before heading out again. It is also well connected to public transport. The room has a modern, clean design, and the staff are helpful. It is basically just a few meters from the Vienna State Opera and other attractions. As there were construction works, only a small breakfast was available, but it was well priced. It includes croissants, cakes, brioche, jams, fruit yoghurt, and a variety of coffees for €8.50. Considering typical prices in Vienna, it represents good value. Also, they have a bar in the ground floor, they had reopen it in the last few days of our stay, where you can sit and have coffee, capuccinos or drinks.

This is not entirely the hotel’s fault, and seems more related to Booking. I chose this hotel because of the breakfast offer, so it was a bit disappointing to learn on arrival that, due to the works, breakfast was not available. A discount was applied, which was appreciated, and the smaller breakfast option we had instead was good value. Still, clearer communication in advance—especially from Booking.com—would have been helpful. One small suggestion for improvement would be adding in-room facilities such as a kettle, cups, tea, and coffee, as these are commonly available in many hotels and are appreciated by travellers. There is also no fridge, which is not a major issue but may be useful for some guests to know. On one night, the room felt a little cold, and having an extra blanket available would have been nice.

Excellent

Fantastic location for all the places I wanted to go to in the Innere Stadt. Although the hotel is currently being renovated/ upgraded this didn't cause much trouble, no exceptional noise etc so a great nights sleep was possible. The reception staff were super friendly and very helpful. Overall I highly recommend this place and would definitely book again.

Charming, cozy and comfortable even while doing business

This is a wonderful hotel with very friendly staff. It is very central and the hotel itself is comfortable and inviting. There was no problem with my work colleague and myself sitting in the open area and working all day long on our computers.

It would have been helpful if I knew beforehand that the kitchen was out of order due to some reconstruction work and there was a limited bar available for the same reason. I would certainly stay there again because it was a wonderful place from which to visit Vienna even as the reconstruction works were taken place.

Great location Clean rooms , nice spacious reception and bar

We didn’t know they were under construction. Only two floors were available and no breakfast. They offered a solution with croissants & yogurt in the bar but I would have liked to know this at the time of the booking. The employees were not very welcoming, except one or two really helpful people.

Nice modern hotel ... great location

great location (close to a number of good cafes and restaurants) , really nice room....and helpful staff (even though bar staff were always busy)

Breakfast... only available as buffet style is very expensive (especially if you only want a continental breakfast to start the day, we ate breakfast at a local cafe around the corner for a 1/3rd of the cost) and there is no dinner option at the hotel (you have to eat out) which is a hassle if you arrive late

Nice stay in Vienna

Location was good, room was clean and spacious. Staff were lovely (it was my birthday and I got some prosecco).

Suprised there was no tea and coffee in the room. Stayed in a hotel in UK a couple of weeks ago for 1/3 the cost and there was tea, coffee, water and biscuits.

A beautiful hotel in a very good location, next to the opera house in the city center.

There is no electric kettle in the room for preparing hot drinks. In the evening, it was not possible to obtain hot water for making hot beverages. There is no refrigerator in the room. It was not possible to get two separate beds; only one double bed was provided.

Very good for a short stay could be excellent with a few touches such as mentioned above.

The location.

Lack of amenities such as a safe and mini fridge which a four star hotel should have. The room was very warm at night and there was no way to regulate the temperature except opening the window which would let in noise from the busy road.

A hotel I would recommend to everyone.

The staff’s attentiveness, the location, the cleanliness, and the Wi-Fi were excellent. I’m not sure if there is any other hotel in the city that is located at the intersection of three metro lines, this close to a metro station, and just a few minutes from major tourist attractions..

The only downside I could mention was the small size of the room.

Not A Comfortable Choice For More Than Overnight!

Good location Nice decor in lobby

Tiny room which could work, but didn’t. We’ve stayed at numerous Motel One hotels but this one was not a comfortable place to stay for 2 people for anything more than overnight. The only furniture in the room was a bed, small desk and ottoman. No place for luggage. We had 2 large suitcases and carryons and in order to open, we had to place one suitcase on the small desk and the other on the ottoman. Forget opening the carryons. No phone, so if you need to talk to reception, you have to go downstairs. No safe, which is a problem for those people who have to travel with a passport. Unlike other Motel Ones, there was only one bar to hang coats and clothes. Since it ran along the wall, the hangers had to hang sideways limiting what you could hang. Ridiculous! Tiny night tables that were like the smallest you could get from IKEA.

Modern classic hotel within Inner Stadt

Modern classic & sleek hotel within Inner Stadt. A hop & skip away from Vienna State Opera, the Albertina, Burggarten, Cafe Mozart, St. Charles Church, & many attractions. Karlsplatz U bahn station is steps away. Many colorful districts are within 15-30 minutes walking distance. Room was spacious with a window view of inner courtyard. Bed was comfy & moderate lighting was perfect. Cozy interiors. Location is unbeatable. Big variety of nearby eateries & bars. Would love to stay here again in the future.

There were 2 staff members at reception that were slightly rude. Also the hotel room numbers & placement are unusual & a bit confusing to locate.

Amazing location for the opera!

Excellent breakfast, quality items, well presented and plentiful. The room was very quiet and comfortable. Good lighting. Good shower in a modern and well designed bathroom. Good sized bed considering it was a single room.

It might have been nice to have tea and coffee in the room, but I understand that there was limited space.

I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT BECAUSE OF ABSENCE OF FACILITIES TO PLACE ONE'S CLOTHINGS

LOCATION

I EXPECTED TO HAVE A WARDROBE AND NOT ONLY A BAR WITH THREE HANGERS; SO WHEN I WANTED TO FIND AN ITEM I HAD TO BEND, WHICH AFFECTS MY BACK, TO REACH MY SUITCASE AND FIND THE ITEM I NEEDED AND AT TIMES I PREFERRED NOT TO DO IT.

Good but needs some things to upgrade.

The place is nice and clean. The location is exceptional. The staffs are welcoming and accommodating

The things that should be considered are complementary hot drinks such as tea or coffee in the room because the price rate is not too less expensive for no complementaries.

Excellent central Vienna hotel with good rooms but very noisy breakfast area.

Comfortable and spacious room near reception was just great (032) and we slept well. The location worked well for our hire car and taxis too.

We'd have liked a bit more choice in evening snacks, although we did enjoy what we had. Our main criticism was the extremely noisy breakfast area. My wife found it almost unbearably loud with bangs and clatters, with her hearing aids magnifying everything.

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.
