Hotel Erzherzog Rainer

Perfect stay. Old chic building (>100 years old), in city center, perfect breakfast, airconditioning. A lot of charm and not expensive. One day there where 2 fresh cakes on our room with a letter to congratulate me with my birthday. I didn't tell them anything, so that was a very kind treat.

Love it when people write “lovely and clean” where do they normally stay? Nice little hotel for short stay breakfast adequate but busy in buffet area after 9:00 so go earlier. Comfortable rooms but for “green” reasons they set the aircon temp in all rooms offering a “fan” if that is too warm (21c btw) I like it colder so slept on top of duvet on comfortable matress. Hotel is handy for transport options. I would not stay again but only due to stance on aircon which I wasn’t aware of prior to arrival but you are. Rest of stay was great including all staff.

One of the best hotels that we've stopped in, good quality but also friendly and welcoming. The hotel felt very secure and safe, in a good location. We were happy to walk into the centre of Vienna or to Karlsplatz underground station, which has excellent connections to other parts of the city including Schonbrunn and Prater Park with the famous Ferris Wheel. For anyone who is not happy to walk far, there is also a tram service very nearby. The breakfast was excellent, with a good selection of cereals, cooked food, bread, fruit, yogurt etc. The room was an adequate size, with a safe, air conditioning and a very good bathroom and everything else we needed. We had two evening meals in the restaurant, which was very good though with relatively few options. There are also a variety of other restaurants nearby. The hotel staff were very polite, friendly and helpful, providing advice and a tourist map on request. If we visit Vienna again we would hope to book Hotel Erzherzog Rainer again, as our first choice.

A typical, old-fashioned (in a good sense!) Vienna hotel. Attentive staff, one felt to be a valuable guess. Location still in walking distance from the city center. We liked out stay.
