Great location and lovely staff.
Great location, literally 10 minute walk to the main cathedral and only minutes from the metro. Rooms are very spacious and clean and bed is very comfy. All staff were very helpful and friendly!
The walls are quite thin so you can hear other rooms walking/banging around quite clearly. We also stayed in January but the room was still very hot, the staff said the air con isn’t turned on at this time. They did bring us a fan on the second night.

Great location
It was very good overall and I really liked the location.
I would have appreciated the room being on a higher floor, as there was hardly any lighting.

Centrally located hotel, it has a train and tram station nearby, I loved the self check in and check out part.
I didn’t really like the room, the bathroom and the bed next to it. Plus, you can hear all the noise in the room. :(

Sufficiently rich breakfest, large room, unorthodox design, excellent location in the city center.
Noisy air condition, Entrance through the hall of old post office building

Location takes it all :-)
Location is GREAT! nearby the U train, very center, with local shops nearby- Supermarket, bakery and etc.
The room's shower- no curtains on both side, which mean there is no privacy (to take into consideration when you travel with a friend and not partner). but beside that all were great!
4 January 2025
The hotel has style and located in a very good area not far from the Center that makes your stay comfortable
The stuff is the best ! Especially I want to thank Michael , Leon,Georg and Nico for being so helpful in everything we needed They are super !!!!!💗💗💗💗
I really was surprised that there wasn’t a kettle with the box coffee or tea bags like we used to have in the hotels we stayed .

Very good hotel to stay in Vienna city centre
Location was very good! Very close to metro (green line) and the city center. Also many food options nearby the hotel.
The wc design was not very convenient.

Staff behavior is perfect. They are so helpful and kind all time. Hotel location great.
Wc and Bathroom Doors are transparent. Its tolerable somehow but doors are not seperate from room itself so you can be wake on middle of night from flush noise.

Perfect location & Great Vibes❤️
The location is fantastic—super close to the city center, making it easy to explore Vienna. The hotel is stylish and modern, with a really cool interior design and brand communication. Even though we stayed in the “Nest” room, it didn’t feel too small. The bed was very comfortable, and the view from the window was lovely. The breakfast was delicious and offered plenty of variety, with enough options for meat, fish, and veggies. The staff was super friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed, which made our stay even more enjoyable! Overall, the value for money was great, and we had a wonderful time enjoying Vienna.
It would have been nice to have bottled drinking water in the room, as well as a tea or coffee set for convenience. While it was possible to order tea at the bar or go elsewhere to make it, having these options in the room would have been much more comfortable. Despite these small issues, we had an amazing stay and would recommend this hotel for its style, comfort, and location!

Everything, the location was really good, the staff was amazing and really friendly, etc
We choose daily cleaning but our blankets weren’t changed daily neither were the sheets

Fabulous… and an exceptional location too. Staff were absolutely brilliant
Room was excellent. Clean and modern looking and contained everything you need. Shower and toilets were behind frosted glass which was a bit unusual, so make sure you stay with someone who you are comfortable with 😄 Location is PERFECT. Just outside the hotel is a u-bahn station (red line) which gives you easy access to the core parts of the city. So convenient. Staff were on top form and were exceptionally friendly and helpful.
Some small issues with the room such as our safe didn’t work and one of the soap dispensers in the shower didn’t work either. But these were minimal really and overall we enjoyed our stay. We didn’t report this to the staff as it really wasn’t a big deal to us and I am sure they would have dealt with it swiftly.

Convenient, welcoming and cozy!
I loved the location, just a short walking distance to the city center and conveniently accessible via the Schwedenplatz tram station. The customer service was excellent, making us feel truly welcomed. The room was nice and cozy, with simple yet sufficient facilities that perfectly met our needs. Overall, a fantastic experience.
Just the entrance after getting out from the taxi towards the bar area. Could have done better.

Great location, the staff as a whole were super friendly and knowledgeable. The breakfast was a highlight and tasted very fresh and healthy, the barista coffee was great.
We weren’t able to add on breakfast for future days as the discounted rate was only applicable if selected on check in, we ended up having breakfast for the first day and then wanted to add on for the additional days but were told we were only able to access the discounted rate at check in, so we needed to pay an additional 5 euro per person for each day which was a shame. Not the staffs fault, it was the system which didn’t allow to add on.

Great short stay in Vienna visiting Xmas markets and some visitor attractions. Would stay again.
Staff very friendly, bed comfortable, breakfast good. Location is good, on river, 60 metres from Subway and tram stops. Not the poshest area but some good restaurants within walking distance. Warned of building work on roof terrace but experienced no problem, room was quiet. Bar open 24 hours. All hotels in Vienna are expensive and this was one of the lower priced hotels close to centre and old town area. Comparatively good value.
Not much space for clothing, just a hanging rail with 6 hangers and a high shelf.

Location and public transportation.
Sink was clogged when I checked in, had to ask from reception to fix it the following morning. No desk or table for laptop, no convenient shelves/cupboard for clothes.

I love the Ruby Chain concept and have stayed in various Ruby hotels in Europe.
Location is excellent, only a few minutes away from the centre and all means of transport

It was very different having a bar to check into hotel but quirky and nice. Staff were happy and helpful.
Breakfast was very limited and had to enter through back door later at night.
15 October 2024
Great, quirky hotel, located within good walking distance to the main city centre, restaurants and bars.
The location to the city centre and underground train station. The room was clean and comfortable. The downstairs lounge area was comfortable and quirky. It was lovely. The reception staff and the young guys at the bar were friendly and helpful.
The room shower/bathroom setup was strange. It was ok, but too much water went into the toilet area from the shower each time. The area was quite small. Not a deal breaker though.

Practical choice.
Modern functional room. Big bar. Convenient location (metro, boats, airport bus 5 minutes away …). Walk to the central tourist sights.

Great stay, perfect location, clean and comfortable
Room was perfect for what we needed - clean and comfortable, great location. We didn't eat at the hotel - but liked the little coffee room.
Not that I didn't like it - but very strange to do a self check in - this was our first experience of this.
11 September 2024
The stay was good overall.
The location was perfect. The staff were helpful.
The noise from the drilling of the roof top.
9 September 2024
Overall a great modern option in a good location. Very expensive.
Bar/reception area was lovely. Rooms were modern, clean and comfortable. Great location.
There was significant construction work happening at the hotel which was not advised until AFTER the booking was confirmed (not refundable). Luckily I was out all day but imagine the works would have been very disruptive. It also resulted in my room being essentially dark, as the work was directly outside my window.
7 September 2024
Enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to the nice deck they are building on the roof. I would return.
Hotel was in a great location. Breakfast was outstanding and for the most part the room was nicely done.
The shower was in the room and separated by a shower curtain and glass. It was a bit different but very easy to make work.

Great Location, But Disappointing Amenities
The location was perfect, and the room was comfortable and clean
I was disappointed with the entry and lobby, as well as the breakfast. The open-view shower design was uncomfortable, especially when staying with friends or family. Overall, the experience did not meet the standard I expect from a 4-star hotel.
