Expert reviews
“Smack behind the Albertina and the Staatoper, this authentically Austrian boutique hotel is an absolutely delightful addition to the Vienna lodging scene, with fabulous views of the heart of the Innere Stadt.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Vienna.
“A prime location, generous space and an extremely livable atmosphere make this an excellent option in one of the most colorful capitals in the Old World. The Guesthouse brings modern yet comfortable interior design by Terence Conran to one of Vienna’s most attractive neighborhoods.”
“Sharing the same square as the Albertina, Opera House and Sacher Hotel, this property is a favourite among the hotel offerings in the city centre. It is remarkable what happens to a youth hostel in the hands of Sir Terence Conran. The transformation has succeeded on every level.”

Highly Recommended: Exceptional Hospitality and Attention to Detail
Upon arriving at the hotel, we were greeted by a prompt and friendly staff, making us feel comfortable immediately. We received all the necessary information and guidance about the surrounding area, attractions, and restaurants. We were pleasantly surprised with Austrian wines, water, and other complimentary beverages in our room, along with a dessert and a handwritten welcome card from the hotel management—this already confirmed that our choice was the right one. The breakfast at the restaurant was excellent; we enjoyed it every day of our stay. The staff also assisted us with reservations at the restaurants they recommended, even securing a special table at a Michelin Guide restaurant, which impressed us even more. In short, highly recommended. Congratulations to the hotel team—you are doing an outstanding job!
Nothing major that detracts from the hotel overall, but the bathroom has a glass partition separating the toilet from the bed area. Currently, the toilet light is linked to the sink and shower lights, which can be disturbing at night for someone who is trying to sleep. I recommend separating the toilet light from the sink and shower lights.

Great central venue, with awesome restaurant and amazing schnitzel.
Great size room
Cannot think of anything

Fabulous, would stay here again.
Fabulous location, very close to all the best sites and easy walk to the underground, giving you access to the whole city. Room was modern, spacious and comfortable and most of the mini bar, including the great wine, was included.
We would have liked help with our luggage at arrival and departure, as there was no ramp and we had to lift heavy cases into the property.

A gem of a hotel in a great location
The room was very nice, the largest non-suite I could have expected. Very comfortable and spacious bed. Great coffee machine and complimentary wine and beverages! Fantastic location, right next to the Opera house and the main pedestrian street, and within walking distance of most inner city attractions. Very friendly and helpful front desk staff.
The bathroom fixtures are nice and modern but it lacks shelf room and towel hangers.

First class. Central location, attentive staff and lovely little touches.
Absolutely superb. Staff very friendly and wrre quick to attend to anything you needed. Location is incredible, right in the heart of district one. Little touches like the book nook and the complimentary wine/beer made a big difference. Loved it. Will be back.
Rooms were cleaned a little late around 4.30pm which was a little disruptive when trying to get ready for dinner.

Great location and the best staff of any hotel. A few improvements to the aircon are needed.
Great location and amazing staff where no task is too small for. The room was clean and well appointed. The breakfast was reasonable prices and delicious. 24 hour room service too :)
The aircon is terrible on the 7th floor and needs to go much cooler in summer (yes I read the instructions and asked the staff too) we gave up halfway through the night being so hot and sweaty and were lucky the windows opened on a cool night. The TV setup is also quite small and old with no streaming - considering they make a point of saying “Bang and Olufsen TV” in the listing you would think it should have been great.

A very pleasant base to start our exploration of Austria
Located just a very short walk from the Opera House, the hotel is in a great position to reach both the sights of central Vienna and transport to places like Schönbrunn Palace. The room was very comfortable and we felt that we had plenty of space. The airport pick-up as part of the package was very helpful, although reaching the hotel using public transport would be straightforward (the nearest metro station entrance is only 5-10 minutes walk). A minibar that actually contained a good selection of (free!) soft drinks was great. The wine would have been free too, but we're not drinkers. We didn't eat at the hotel but there was plenty to offer for breakfast and beyond.
Having a hotel named "The Guesthouse" slightly confused our taxi driver, with "which guesthouse?" being his immediate question! The view from the room wasn't great (an inner courtyard) but we weren't expecting anything particularly special, so that wasn't really an issue.

we will definitely come back to this hotel!
Our room was spacious, had a seating area and the real bonus was a bay window where one can seat and read facing the city view. Breakfast was great and so us the location .
a gym, even a small one, could have been great

Utterly wonderful
The Guesthouse is superb. It is opposite the Albertina’s and in the middle of town. No detail is overlooked from providing guests with personalised cards showing the Guesthouse as their address to 4 complimentary and very tasty bottles of wine and fragrance spray for the pillows.

An amazing experience from the moment of our booking. They were very helpful in arranging our airport transfer. We loved the location- just steps away from Old Town and shopping areas.

Charming hotel and well located. I’d stay there again but only two to a room.
The location is unbeatable, the staff is friendly and attentive, the room is nice though it could have been cleaner upon arrival. Also, we got the double deluxe which I think is a great room for two but we were three which made it a bit tight. They did provide us with a comfy rollaway bed though. The restaurant downstairs has very good food and nice staff. Very fresh juices! They also gave us complimentary red wine and water in the room which was a nice touch.
The room could have been cleaner upon arrival and the sink is very shallow which caused a little puddling but pretty minor issues overall. Also, for some Reason getting them to give us a box of tissues Was a bit of a project. And they need to be mindful to have someone answering the reception phone. Often when we called, we got no answer.

The location and amenities were excellent, and we really enjoyed our stay.
Room was clean and comfortable and had a nice couch and coffee table for relaxing at the end of the day. The TV included a radio, so we listened to music as well. The Jura coffee maker and complimentary wine and beverages in the room were a great bonus.
The bathroom was a little small. There was nowhere to place my toiletries and space to hang towels was limited, but it was clean, modern and we made it work.

Lovely stay in comfortable room with free wine and beer!
The rooms are so comfortable. I loved the window boxes! The free (delicious Austrian) wine and beer was totally unexpected! And they replaced anything we consumed from day to day. Amazing! Made our stay extra special. The location was perfect! We walked to so many of the sights.
The lack of lobby and public area is disappointing. The duvets are too hot for summer time. Need a sheet! The bathrooms don’t allow one person to turn on light without waking the other person. The Taps are too hard to turn on and off. Bad design.

My stay was perfect. Family holiday, couple rooms, was convenient to walk to everything.
Very comfortable and perfectly situated right in the heart of the city. It had a quiet, understated elegance that most hotels seem to force. Here, everything just felt effortless and at ease. Restaurant was excellent for late night dining too.

A jewel of a hotel in the heart of Vienna.
Wien is a bon bon of a city. The Guesthouse Vienna is perfectly situated in the inner stadt a stones throw from Wiener Staatsoper, Albertina Museum, Hofburg Palace, Musikverien, Sacher... I was travelling alone as a wheelchair user. The Guesthouse is warm, welcoming without being pretentious, and trendy. Love the artwork/pictures in the rooms and around the hotel. The bottles of Austrian wine that are part of your package can be taken to dinner in their restaurant at no charge. Nice touch. The Jura coffee machine in the room was easy to use, and the coffee was lovely. Beautiful, top-quality Austrian skincare products 'March' are offered for use in the bathroom. Hand/body wash, conditioner, and body lotion in 500ml pump dispensers. The pillow mist is lovely. I bumped into the manager, Manfred, in the corridor and asked if he had a little time to spare. He was happy to accompany me to my room, seeing some very small issues, and was grateful for my perspective. He took note and promised to change these things. Wheelchair users, the toilet is right-hand transfer only. Maybe a problem for others but not me. All staff from the front desk, doormen, and housekeeping were kind and always prepared to offer advice, help, or a friendly chat. Nothing was too much trouble. The brasserie/restaurant and bar are excellent and popular with the locals. Great choice of quality food, pastries, and drinks at not silly prices . Upon checkout, I made a reservation for next year. Yes, it is that good. Vielen Dank, bis nächstes Jahr.
Upon returning to the hotel usually night time, it could be difficult to get the attention of staff for the ramp. It was a little frustrating, but it didn't spoil my stay. I could have rung reception but not always easy to do when laden with bags.... Restaurant staff got the attention of the front desk.

Phenomenal restaurant Fantastic staff great location best hotel Ever
This hotel has the best location of any hotel in Vienna we could see the corner of the opera house from our room it was so close we could almost touch it. It is opposite the Albertina and a five minute walk to Dimels and the Hoffbourg Place. I looked up the best restaurants in Vienna before we left and we tried most of them and the cafes including Dimels Cafe Central and Gersners but the best food cakes and coffee were in our hotel I wish I had eaten there more often. The staff were phenomenal from front of house to the waiters. The room we had was 102 it was very large and easily fitted in the extra bed which was a proper bed - the pillows were the most comfortable I have ever slept on.
This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. There was not a single thing they could improve.
