Hotels near Equitable in Vienna

My two teenage children and I stayed in the Family Room for 3 nights in June 2022. The location of the hotel is unbeatable - right in the heart of the city and shopping area. A stone's throw away from a metro stop and the St. Stephen's cathedral. There are a lot of restaurants nearby to dine at, The State Opera House is a 4-min walk. The staff of the hotel are extremely friendly and helpful. Our luggage didn't make the connection in Amsterdam and hotel staff went out of they way to call airlines. If you want to get to the hotel from the airport, take the CAT (City Airport Train) for 12 euros (kids under 15 ride for free) and get off at the first city stop (Landstrabe/ Wien Mitte). Then take the U3 subway line (buy separate ticket for 2,40 euros) and get off two stops at Stephanplatz. It's about a 25 min ride.

You can't stay more centrally located in Vienna, but the room and breakfast pulled the whole thing down; There was a kettle in the room, but for the first time we experienced that you had to pay for tea and coffee!! There was no ventilation in the bathroom, and a bad smell if the door was closed. Also, there was a shower only in the bath - not a good solution for older people. We ate 4 breakfasts, and the bread and rolls were not quite fresh some of the days.

We enjoyed our stay. We stayed for 4 nights in January so the outdoor weather was cold. What we liked: a very easy and friendly check-in. We arrived early in the morning and they stored our luggage until after 3. We came back showed them the luggage claim and the bellman took us up to the room, smooth and easy. The room was not large but not small either with two chairs for sitting very classical style furniture in a very clean room. The room had a wardrobe with safe, large comfortable bed and good pillows. The room was warm on nights that the temp was near freezing. The bathroom had ample towels and other toiletries. The water from the faucet was safe to drink, no odor or chemical smell. We drank it frequently. The hotel is in a well maintained older building. The breakfast was good. Several hot items from eggs and sausage, cold items like meats cheeses, a variety of salads and spreads, yogurts, breads, cakes, and cereals. Carafes of hot coffee brought to the table. The location was great within 3 minutes of St. Stephen's Cathedral and with about 10 in all directions of things on the outer edge of the old central city. About a 5 minute walk to the Sisi museum and Hof. The area was safe with much shopping around it and tourist and photography attractions. They gave us a late checkout so we could attend mass with Vienna Boys' Choir then held our luggage and called for a cab to take us to an airport hotel for an early morning flight. Very friendly staff from start to finish. What we didn't like: Very little to complain about really. The outside street was a bit loud during the early night because of a bar across the alley. The noise did not get out of hand or unbearable. There is no water kettle in the room and you have to pay for the coffee maker. The breakfast hostess/server was a bit pushy and kept correcting my wife's behavior for asking for an extra napkin or needing to use an extra spoon. She however would smile at me when I would get up and get the things for my wife. I did not like having to carry a hotel key around while touring. I kept worrying about its loss or thefts. Non of these things spoiled a wonderful trip to beautiful Vienna. We would stay here again. It was a pleasant experience and the hotel staff was always pleasant and helpful.

The hotel has a good geographical environment, complete service settings, warm service attitude, and convenient travel. The room is slightly smaller than domestic hotels, and the à la carte breakfast is more expensive.

Unlike a hotel, it is more like a homestay. The bathroom is very clean. Super good location

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..

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 😊

There is a room with a six-story sloping roof. If you mind that the shading effect is not ideal in the morning and you cannot sleep well, don't choose it. The overall feeling of the hotel is very good, with a strong sense of design, the environment of the breakfast restaurant is very good, I also tried it for dinner, and it is a good product. Through communication, the hotel changed the room type the next day, with full blackout curtains, which completely solved the problem of affecting sleep. The overall service is also good. The location is very convenient. Just near the church and pedestrian street. Very easy to walk to different sights.

We are pleased to say that our experience here was much better than some of the previous reviewers. We were upgraded gratuitously to a superior room (518) on the top floor with a great view of the VotivKirche and parks. The room was fine and represented very good value for money. We did not dine or breakfast here, the charge for breakfast seemed a little steep. The hotel is located in a very pleasant area and the museums and Stephansplatz are an easy 15 minute stroll from the hotel. You will pay a lot more for hotels in those areas. The coffee situation seems to be an ongoing theme on Tripadvisor. On the second morning our pods were not replaced so I had to ring down to reception. They arrived immediately. The next morning I left a note in German on the coffee tray to remind housekeeping to replace the pods. They did not do this and I had to ring down again. We were not charged for these and no mention of a charge was made, but it seemed a bit odd.

I book at the last minute so I did not have much information on the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised by the staff friendliness and engagement to the customers. They are nice, young, outgoing and eager to help. This is a very unusual hotel with a lot of activities daily mostly used by young professionals. The bar area is cool. I learn a lot about the city culture by chatting with the bartenders who make you feel welcome. I definitely will come back when I have another chance to visit Vienna. This hotel is underrated.
