It was a lovely stay, close to amazing museums and historic buildings. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was amazing!!

Excellent hotel. 5 nights in July, we would go back.
Harry, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and very spacious room with everything we needed and wanted. My only feedback there is that the hair dryer was so old and weak that it wasn't effective and needs replacing. The location is quiet and safe, and close to an UBahn station, and about 20 minute walk to the downtown core. Tons of good restaurants and shops nearby. We had our most positive and memorable interactions with staff at this location. Nathan at the hotel bar provided us with lots of good information on things to see & do, and even wrote lots of tips down for us. Yorgi (unfortunately I cant remember the correct spelling) was also a friendly face at check in and check out and made us feel welcome.

8/10 Very good

We loved our stay here, walking distance to the majority of tourist hot spots. The proximity to local shopping, keep a look out for a great cheese shop and the weekend local markets in the adjoining street.
Angela, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A great location, very quiet, lovely courtyard, comfy beds and pillows. The only negative is breakfast - certainly not that great by German standards, not too much variety, although everything is quite edible.
Olga, 6-night trip

I loved the facility and access to the heart of the old town in Vinna.

Pleasant Stay

The service here was excellent. The hotel manager (whose name I didn’t catch) was maybe the best I’ve encountered. Very friendly and professional. Our room had a terrific view of Prague and was quiet and comfortable.

Kathleen A., 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was good. Nice quiet neighborhood, 10 minute walk to city center and Hofburg. Breakfast buffet was included and excellent. Room was clean. The only negative was the young ladies working the front desk in the morning. I asked for some advice on getting to the tram and they CLEARLY did not want to be bothered. I was prepared to give a tip and gave them nothing as a result.

10/10 Exceptional

DEFINITELY A MUST STAY HOTEL! Larissa!!! From the moment we arrived at the reception, tired & jet-lagged, she welcomed us & made us feel right at home at this beautiful hotel. After we left our bags in our WONDERFUL room (fabulous air conditioning), Larissa showed us where to get a FANTASTIC lunch. She gave us an overview of Vienna which we followed the whole time we were there (almost one week). Every time we saw her in the hotel, she remembered us & helped with any questions. Larissa is outstanding in every way & made our stay here the best from the moment we arrived. The entire staff in the kitchen (breakfast) & reception/bar was friendly and helpful. The daily breakfast at the Josefhofs was outstanding; incredible variety & new items each day so that we still ate our favorite things but got to try new things as well. Gorgeous interior courtyard to eat our breakfast, or inside seating area if preferred. Very cool bar/eatery inside the hotel from noon (when breakfast ends) until the wee hours of the morning. Very quiet for agreat nights sleep every night. Great bed & bathroom/shower. Free drinks at the bar downstairs (1 per person) for every day you choose not to have the room cleaned. Great location; 5 minute walk to the metro (easy metro system), less than 5 minute walk to city area, 15-20 minute walk to the cathedral with city streets, shops, cafes, restaurants all along the way (all is so close by including a great grocery store). We WILL stay here next time!
Kimberly, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

I rarely write reviews, but our experience at this hotel was so appalling that I feel compelled to share it. We booked a Deluxe Room at this hotel, the only option available at the time. We were traveling with a small child, which has never been an issue at any other hotel we’ve stayed at (and we travel frequently). However, upon arrival, our nightmare began, we were humiliated by the receptionist and manager, who aggressively claimed we couldn’t stay with a child in the room. We offered to share one bed, pay extra, or add an extra bed, but the manager refused, even saying our child "can stay on the street." After a long and humiliating ordeal, during which our child was in tears, we were allowed to stay for one night but were told we’d be kicked out the next morning with no refund. The manager followed through, forcing us to book another hotel at our expense and insisting the room was non-refundable—even though we didn’t cancel the booking, he did. How would that even apply? Attempts to resolve this were met with threats to call the police. The treatment we received was inhumane and utterly unprofessional. I cannot understand why the manager behaved this way or why he felt the need to ruin our holiday. The hotel’s behaviour was unprofessional, inhumane, and unacceptable. Avoid this place at all costs.

Wonderful boutique hotel in Vienna

Excellent location and super friendly staff. The rooms are all unique as it was a former apartment building. Cozy bar and games room for pre or post dinner drinks. Room temperature was perfect, but for those particular about AC know it is centrally controlled. Great restaurants nd cafes close by.
