We enjoyed the very ample breakfast menu and great staff attending. Our room was most comfortable if a bit small, but the bathroom was well appointed.
Would highly recommend for comfort and the excellent location to all the cultural institutions and museums.

The hotel is located next to Nachtmarkt and nearby the Opera, so great location for seeing sights, shopping and events. The staff was extremely helpful with information and quickly handled requests. The overall experience was excellent!

Only quibble would be that the hotel WiFi in the lobby is mostly nonexistent. In the rooms, the WiFi was excellent.

Location was good. The view outside of the window was awful, practically a wall and we couldn't even see the sky. We asked to be moved to a different room but they claimed the hotel was fully booked. There was no phone in the room, no black tea bags (although this was available from reception) and our safe didn't work even after we went back to reception to get the instructions. Air conditioning is not switched on at this time of year so the room was very hot.

I might have come and gone from this hotel without ever realizing how amazing it is - had it not been for two emergencies that allowed the staff - particularly Barbara - to reveal herself as a super hero. The first was a bad slip in the room in the early am of Dec 26 that required intense first aid, and the second was a broken zipper on a huge suitcase the morning of a flight on Dec 26 when nothing in the city was open or would be open. Barbara, a former flight attendant, taped the bag closed and -wait for it - found an extra high end suitcase for our overflow stuff in the hotel storeroom some guest had left behind months before. In both instances, she was a calm voice I wish I had in my own head, but am sure not even 20 years of Viennese psychoanalysis would get me. You would have to pay quadruple the price to find comparable service at even a 5 star resort - if you even could (think: The White Lotus). This place is special - don’t overlook it.

This was our second stay in this wonderful hotel located in the optimal location of the city for attending cultural events. The opera is a short, two block walk, Same with Museum Quarter and Karlsplatz, and the Musikverein is also within close walking distance. Only a 15 - 20 minute walk downtown to the St. Stephen’s area. But even better than the location is the fantastic breakfast. It’s an extra charge but make sure to book it with your reservation. From 0630 to 1030 there are unlimited gourmet items to start your day - fresh breads and pastries, exotic meats and cheeses (the truffle jam was my favorite) - yogurts cereals, fruits - it’s really outstanding and served in a beautiful little room with windows overlooking the Secession Museum right across the street. We will definitely stay here whenever we come to Vienna in the future!

Great customer focus. The room itself was huge and a bit impersonal but nothing to complain about. I have to rate this hotel with 5 stars mainly for the super friendly and helpful staff. Most notably Milan at front desk who helped locate a suitcase that did not arrive at Vienna airport. He went over and above the call of duty when we were feeling frazzled. We enjoyed the breakfast with some great conversation with Hans with whom we practiced our German. It was my wife’s birthday and Hans arranged a candle lit cupcake surprise. The kitchen lady was also lovely

There were several super helpful young ladies at the front desk whose names I did not note.

Nice hotel in excellent location

Excellent location. It was very close to metro and quiet. The front staff was friendly. The room was clean but noticed that housekeeping wouldn’t refresh the glasses and there were stains. The room was nice and big and so was the bathroom. The bed was uncomfortable. They need to update the mattress and add more shelves in bathroom especially in shower area. Also there was no phone in room to make local calls. I hope management looks at adding these amenities because this will take the hotel up to another level.

apparently, I was placed in the adjoining “old building“ and I felt like one of the only people in that entire side of the hotel. I’m not sure anyone else was even on my floor. The view was not bad. The room was very sparse, no notable decor and I found it slightly depressing.

If you’re going to the museums, it is in a good location. This is in the museum, quarter, district 6.

I found the breakfast to be completely un appealing, it looked sad and I didn’t feel comfortable eating any of the food. Also, Weil breakfast ends at 10:30, they literally mean you have to leave that room by 10:30, you can’t even be finishing eating. Which leads me to the fact that in general, I didn’t care for the staff of the hotel.

if you want an iron and ironing board, you’re expected to schlep it up to your room yourself. You are required to go to the front desk. Ask them to please give you an iron and ironing board and then drag it up to your room. I found the gentleman who appeared to be a manager to be condescending and passive aggressive. Also the woman who checked me in later in the afternoon on the day I arrived I found to be rude and was trying to rush me into releasing their free use of confidential identification information without telling me I had the right to decline, until I pushed back. She also had a very rude tone about the fact that I was “traveling all alone”

Icannot recommend given depressing room + completely unappealing breakfast, + a couple of key staff members behavior

Roomy, close to attractions and public transport

I had looked for hotels close to the Vienna city center and compared features. This place seemed to be a good option. The only thing I was hoping to find was where breakfast was included, but that wasn’t part of our package (though it was available on-site).

The hotel is about a block from an entrance to the Karlzplatz subway station. That station is fairly large, and this entrance is at the end of a 300-meter underground walkway (that keeps you out of traffic and the weather). That stop is also just 2 away from the central subway station where you connect to the airport, btw. The hotel is also within a 15-minut walk of the Hofburg complex and less than that to major tram routes that can get you to other attractions.

The hotel offers 3 room sizes, the largest which can accommodate 3 – 4 persons. I think it was called the apartment configuration. It was fairly spacious and had a small kitchenette (with a small burner set but no microwave). You had to ask if you wanted cookware. We appreciated the space, though, especially compared to some other places (I’m looking at you, Amsterdam).

There was air conditioning, which was nice after a hot afternoon.

The only minor negative we had with the room was that the walls were a bit thin. A couple of different sets of room neighbors were semi-audible when they came in. The noise level will depend on those in the adjacent rooms, though. There was not much, if any, street noise, though.

My stay at this property was exceptional in every regard. The guest room was notably spacious and offered a tranquil environment, ideal for rest and relaxation. Its location proved highly convenient, with many of Vienna’s key attractions easily accessible on foot. The bathroom was particularly impressive—elegantly designed and impeccably maintained. Even the towel racks, often overlooked, were thoughtfully installed and surprisingly functional, contributing to an overall sense of comfort and attention to detail.

Family getaway for Ostern weekend

Wonderful stay the the Hotel Secession. Room was very spacious for a family. Hardwood floors are a nice touch -- very clean. Shower was fabulous based on space, pressure, temperature. Staff did a pre-setup for the rollaway bed. Supplied the room with coffee, tea, water, and biscuits. It's very important that the windows were able to open wide this time of year to allow for air flow in the room. Lobby space was inviting and clean. Stored bags before check-in. Front desk staff offered great assistance with luggage, recommendations, city tips, and great service at the bar! All the staff was helpful, nice, and accommodating.
