Hotels near Haus Wittgenstein - Bulgarisches Kulturinstitut in Vienna

We had one night in Vienna with an early flight the next morning, but not wanting to stay in an airport hotel I chose this hotel based on price and location, as it was a short walking distance to Wien Mitte, which runs plenty of trips to the airport, even at 4.30am! Also, as an Accor Gold member I thought I might get an upgrade on my room.

The first thing to say is that this is far from your typical hotel, set back from the road down an alley. If I was arriving at night time I may have been more concerned than I was. Even in daylight it took a minute or two to find the reception, but when I did I got a very good welcome by the member of staff who acknowledged my status. With our room key in hand we headed off to the elevators and climbed out at the third floor. Then we had to walk around a corner to find a small set of stairs, so up those, down a long corridor to find a sign pointing us to another set of stairs that took us up another floor. After a good bit of walking, that would be unsuitable for anyone with movement difficulties, we reached our room. We had reserved a twin room and that’s what we got, although the beds were at a right angle to each other, something I don’t remember seeing anywhere else before and were not as wide as most twin beds that you find elsewhere. The room looked quaint and I thought it was fun until I walked into the bathroom to discover that that bath and shower were also built into the eaves, meaning that standing up in the shower was a physical impossibility! I know what you’re thinking … ‘if unhappy with the room, why not go and ask to change rooms?!’ It is a good point, but the walk to and from the room, plus the fact we only ha a couple of hours to go out and see the city (added to early morning start) meant I just didn’t want to waste the time. Be assured, had we arrived in the morning, or had we been staying for more than one night there is absolutely no way I would have accepted this room. Climbing carefully into a bath to have a shower sitting down is not my idea of fun! It also would not be possible for anyone with movement difficulties to use this. As mentioned earlier, the hotel is in a decent location for Wien Mitte - roughly a ten minute walk with suitcases. A little less without. There are also quite a few eating options in the area. Sitting in the hotel courtyard area is quite relaxing, although you have no view and the sunshine is totally blocked out. I am afraid that apart from being a ‘quirky and cute’ hotel, plus the fact that all the staff we met were polite and professional, there is very little to recommend staying here. I for one will not be staying here again.

The staff here are professional and friendly, the furniture in the public place or the room is very good, the cleaning service here is in place. The location of the hotel is also very good, take the u4 two stops to Stephen Square, 4 stops to the park.

We booked a room for three people, without breakfast included. We arrived at 10 am with the intention of just leaving our bags in the luggage room, but they immediately gave us the room key because it was already ready. It was impeccable. The room was very clean. We slept well because the beds were comfortable and there was no noise during the night. It was good.

Hotel is clean and modern but that is about it. Where to begin. Very few amenities in the rooms. They do not automatically refill shampoo, conditioner, etc. Ihad to phone twice one day and wait for approx 45 minutes for housekeeping to come. When they did, they brought towels (which we did not need) but no shampoo or anything else I had asked for! Regarding Executive lounge… forget it!! Evening “cocktail” service starts at 17:30 and goes until 20:00 when they close.. virtually nothing on offer to eat. See pics. One type of red wine, one white and one rose.. They did have coke and water as well as two bio iced teas but nothing but nuts to eat the entire day….. The pics were taken on Friday Oct 7 at 17:39..9 minutes after opening… not a great selection but they expect people to pay for this!! Money back please!! How about the Concierge.. I wanted some assistance on Saturday with a local restaurant.. it was 15:30 and I was told that there was no-one. The Concierge had gone home!!! On a Saturday when the hotel is packed!! This is so not normal!!! Horrible Management all around.. won’t be coming back to this place anytime soon!! Future guests beware..

This is a great little hotel. The staff are fantastic. Genuinely warm and welcoming and will do anything they can to help make your stay that little bit more special. Most of the staff have very interesting back stories so please make sure you take the time to ask them how they came to be working at the hotel. A truly cosmopolitan mix! The location is on a quiet street slightly out of the centre. The metro station is only 10 mins up the road and it’s about a 10 min metro ride into the centre every 10-15 mins so easily accessible. As the public transport prices in Vienna are crazily cheap (€2.40 for a single trip or €5.80 for a day ticket), it makes it very cost effective being slightly out of the centre and not having to pay the crazy premiums for a city centre location! We had breakfast included, which I’d recommend. There was a varied selection available. Mainly based on a continental style menu, but they also include some other selections from various regions around the world. The coffee was self service from a machine, but was more than acceptable and did most types of coffee derivatives. We didn’t have any other meals so can’t comment? The room was a good size and obviously newly refurbished. A solid, but comfy mattress with a single pillow each. I’m sure you could have extra pillows if you needed one? Great roomy shower and the only gripe was the use of a combined hair and body gel. There was no conditioner so be aware if you don’t plan on bringing your own. On the whole, a cracking little hotel and a great concept with regards to staffing. It had a very family run feeling to it rather than the usual corporate style hotels you get these days. Book a stay today, you won’t regret it!!

The hotel is located on the banks of the Danube, with excellent environment, spacious rooms, rich breakfast, and independent parking lot. But the worst thing is the flower drying in the shower room, the water is not strong, let alone a five-star hotel, even a budget hotel should not be.

Great location.. close to metro U1 and 8 mins on foot to the Wien Hbf (Vienna train station) I stayed in a shared dorm with bathroom and made good acquaintances. Clean bathroom and toilet. The dorms were very secure. The people at the desk were friendly and accommodating. All in all a great experience 😊

Massive hotel room! The airport train S7 is a very short walk from hotel, super convenient to and from airport. If you want a late night snack there’s a supermarket dm and Burger King very close by. No water provided by the hotel but you can pretty much drink all the tap water in Vienna!

Breakfast: At the weekend, this was the best breakfast buffet I’ve had in an economy hotel, with lots of choice, including more expensive items like smoked salmon, Buck’s Fizz, etc. I appreciated there were three varieties of vegan milk. But during the week they skimp and remove all of the expensive items, even though the hotel is still busy with guests… Rooms: Somehow they were ‘booked out’ of the room we actually booked, which shouldn’t happen. However the staff were apologetic and did offer us perks to make up for it. The room was pretty small but big enough for a weekend city trip, I saw the room dimensions when I booked so that was no surprise. Only thing was our thermostat didn’t work, it was stuck on 28°C (!!). Staff: Mostly friendly. However when we went to check out the very young man on reception basically ignored us and presumed we didn’t speak German so started *****ing with his colleagues about how much he didn’t want to do our check out (“ich habe keinen Bock” etc.) which was very unprofessional. They then said we hadn’t paid and we were asked to pay again when we’d already paid in full in advance. Location: Hotel is a good balance between location and price - easy to get around but without the premium price of inner-city hotels. We are more than happy to walk 20-30 minutes (you can also take public transport for just a few stops to most places) so if you are too then I’d recommend.
