Hotels near Taubenhaus, Vienna

We arrived in this facility with the taxi taken at Vienna Airport, we paid €62 in 4 since the hotel is 26 km away. As soon as we entered, we were welcomed despite being very late, entered into the room we found a very comfortable, minimal but very nice room. The next morning we asked for information for the Vienna centre and the boy at the reception showed and marked on the package. The hotel is close to the metro, has a penny supermarket, a tobacco store and a pharmacy next door. Super comfortable beds, excellent daily cleaning, air conditioned in the room.

The service staff and location was great. However, a kettle and a fridge in the room would have been more convenient for a six-day stay. The room was sp**** and there were no chairs, cups or glasses in the room.

The hotel itself is very modern and hip. There are audio devices that can be connected to Bluetooth in the rooms, and I heard that you can rent LP records in the lobby if you want. The bedding is comfortable, the room is clean, and the breakfast is okay. Mariahilf Street is a 2-3 minute walk behind the hotel, so it is good for shopping.

We decided to bokk a self-service apartment for our one week stay in Vienna (partly because of the price/location ratio), but we soon came to regret it. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, well aware that the reception would be closed over the weekend, but we had not anticipated the problems we were going to experience. The hotel had promised to mail us final registration instructions three days before our arrival, but the mail did not arrive until after we had arrived, and because of the trouble in registration we did not find it until the next day! Consequently, we did not know how to open the front door to get in to the registration area, but fortunately another guest let us in. Then the nightmare began: We followed the instructions on the check-in computer, then we filled in the necessary information and managed to get as far as signing, only to receive the following message: ”Your room allotment can not be processed at this time. Please try again later.” This happened three times within the next hour. A friendly guest passing by helped us locarting the emergency service phone number, but after having tried that number three or four times without success (the call was aborted after a few seconds), we were on the verge of giving up. A final attempt was successful, and our German-speaking helper managed to explain our probleø to the help desk person. She tried her best to help us, for the better part of an hour, but without success. Finally, she said that she would call the security company, and they would be there to help us in 20 minutes. After half an hour, we decided that enough was enough, and we decided to check in to a nearby hotel for two nights (until the Smartments reception opened again on Monday), with the clear intention of presenting that hotel bill to Smartments. On Monday morning, we presented ourselves at the Smartments reception and demanded to speak to the manager, who was not present. A meeting was scheduled for the next day. This time, the receptionist helped us check in (not on the faulty computer!)m and we proceeded to our room, which was OK and about what we had expected, except that the coffee maker did not work and there were two non-functioning lamps. We also could not get into the supply room to get extra towels, because our key cards did not work on that door... On Tuesday morning, I had a meeting with the manager. He offered to reimburse us for the hotel costs we had incurred for the two nights we could not get in to Smartments, and to upgrade us for the rest of our stay to their highest category of room (one grade up from our original booking), at no cost to us. This we accepted. I did, however, not find his attitude particularly forthcoming. Being a former travel industry professional myself, I was not impressed by his way of handling the problem. For the rest of our stay, we encountered no further major problems, except that our key cards were still somewhat erratic and did not at all open the supply room doors.

Great location. Literally less than 2 mins walk from the hotel to Wien’s main/central train station. Excellent services and super friendly and helpful staff. Stayed here for three nights and no problems with everything at the hotel.

We checked in on Wednesday night as a large tour group. The reception was lacking a few chairs but that was understandable since we were a large group. The hotel supervisor whose name which I later found out was Abdul was very rude. He forced our room assignments and made us sign a paper to agree to what he wants. He wanted to separate people from the same family group into different rooms which is not part of the initial agreement. He even went as far as to shout at our poor travel guide in front of other guests! We tried to talk to him calmly but he refused to lower his voice. We let him be after that. Some of the other staff even apologised to us for his behavior. That evening, he even barged into one of the families in our group's (a couple with 2 very young children's) room without knocking just to say to get out and that this as per his words ”was not their room” although he was the one who gave them their keys and wrote their name on the card itself! Almost like breaking and entering using the master key! The guests they double booked into the room even had to apologize to them themselves as it was very intense. We have tried to reach out the manager during our short stay of 2 days. When we finally talked to her, she said that she knows the attitude of her staff and he is not like that and refused to listen to anything we said! She was not there so she could not believe what we were saying. Unbelievable! We were very scared and tired as the whole stay we were scared anybody were to by barged in by that man and shouted at. The 2 kids were very traumatized and could not sleep after that evening. The rest of the hotel was very old and inconvenient to stay in. The bathtub is not suitable for the elderly as it is very narrow and high. And some molds have been growing out of the tiles. The breakfast was ok. But it was a very harrowing trip. Does NOT feel like a 4-star hotel at all. Please avoid this place for your own sakes.

I had a very nice welcome. I was allowed to bring my bike to the room. The room was really spacious and very nice breakfast buffet! Coffee machines were inefficient though :( I appreciated the quite area. Different kind of public transportation is still very close :)

Where to start , well let's start at Check In, we have arrived at the Hotel around mid day which we were lucky to be provided with a room straight away, after taking our way into the room well.. The carpets are horrendously dirty to the point i had a walk around Vienna looking for flip flops just not to step bare feet on the carpet. At this point we have contacted the reception in hopes of getting an upgrade which we were willing to pay but got immediately shut down as they were at full capacity, the shower room was fine big walk in shower fairly modern and clean, big TV although do not be fooled it is not a smart TV if you phone does not have Screen Cast do not forget HDMI cable or you will be stuck watching German TV. The restaurant was only open for Breakfast they do not open for Dinner only upon request and availability, now this was a first for me.. Nevertheless we prefer to eat out always and Vienna has some Fabulous places where you can have a nice Dinner. Be careful as well when you wake up a bit later and have to come down to reception to ask for Housekeeping to come and tend your room as they will leave your room door wide open whilst you are parading around Vienna, this actually happened to us we requested them to go to the room to change the towels and nade our way to the center, once we cane back to the hotel after several hours we found our door wide open left by Housekeeping, next morning we made our way to the reception and made a complain as all our belongings where in the room and they would not take accountability if they were stolen, they only apologized and that was all not a voucher not an upgrade absolutely nothing, if you are looking for a Hotel were they dont care about you no good morning no good evening this is the place for you if not DO NOT STAY HERE. This is for the Doppio Hotel team please dont bother replying to my review and rather look into making changes when providing training to your team, people want to feel welcome and safe when staying abroad and you guys failed at both those points, seek out to Train and Develop your team because there is a long way for you guys to go. A smile and greeting goes along way. Thank you,

We liked Hilton Waterfront overall but please see some good things and areas of improvement: - Leon and Maria at main reception are really good and excellent. They do everything to take care of guests and do best effort. Hilton Management should award them for their excellent job. - Natasha in Executive Lounge is also very good in her work. She looks at minute details and ensure every guest is taken care very well. She is excellent and Hilton Management please take note of her good work. - Overall Hilton Waterfront has water problem that is either extremely hot water comes or extremely cold water comes and it not easy to get it fixed. Please improve it. - Many things such as phone in room, lockers in Sauna area etc does not work and someone needs to check them on regular basis to ensure everything is seamless. Overall we liked it. Due to above mentioned people, we loved our stay and ignored any hick-ups.

Esperienza eccellente in coppia. Prenotato 4 notti presso questo Hotel per me e la mia ragazza, e devo dire che ne siamo rimasti estremamente soddisfatti. Punti a favore: - Camere nuove, pulite, spaziose (noi avevamo la standard e si stava benissimo), controllo temperatura direttamente dall'interno, condizionatore efficentissimo ed intuitivo, doccia ampia, minibar, cassaforte e tablet da cui controllare la TV e altre funzioni. - Posizione strategica a dir poco, davanti la fermata della Metro U1 che arriva in centro in 15 Min, bus e tram. - Tranquillità. Camere insonorizzate perfettamente, non abbiamo sentito un minimo rumore né dall'esterno, né dal corridoio, né dalle altre camere, aspetto che ho apprezzato moltissimo avendo il sonno leggero. - Palestra, seppur piccola, essenziale ed adatta ad un breve workout per chi non volesse priv****ne anche in vacanza. - Refill acqua infinito alle fontanelle in reception, anche se a detta dello staff l'acqua dei rubinetti di Vienna è potabile. Lati negativi: Anche se la nostra esperienza resta da 5 stelle, credo sia giusto sottolineare alcuni aspetti che potrebbero essere migliorati per rendere questo hotel impeccabile. - Colazione: 21€ a testa è una follia, non so cosa offrissero ma a quelle cifre nemmeno mangiando all'Hotel Sacher in centro. - Ascensori: utilizzabili solamente scannerizzando la tessere della propria camera, metodo sicuramente intelligente per evitare intrusi nell'hotel, ma a volte scomodo e malfunzionante, e in generale gli ascensori funzionano un po' macchinosamente. - Mancanza di un armadio in camera di qualche cassetto, seppure abbiamo apprezzato molto quella sorta di appendiabiti a cielo aperto all'ingresso. - Staff pulizie scortese al checkout: nonostante alla reception ci avessero detto che il checkout fosse possibile fino alle 12, già dalle 9 una signora delle pulizie è venuta a bussarci, ripetendo poi verso le 10, anche dopo averle detto che eravamo in fase di uscita e avremmo liberato la stanza per tempo. - Connessione alla TV: nonostante avessimo seguito la guida per connettere il telefono alla TV tramite Miracast, non ci ha funzionato nulla, abbiamo riprovato più volte ma niente, avremmo potuto domandare in reception ma alla fine non ne abbiamo avuto bisogno.
