Location
Located right in the middle of the famous Viennese sights like the „Hofburg“ with the worldwide known Spanish Horse riding School, the old university, the „Museumsquartier”, the Natural-historic and the Art-historic museums, you can easily enjoy the city per pedes.
If you are found of Vienna’s culture you will especially enjoy the location of our hotel that is in walking distance from the Opera, the „Volkstheater“, the „Burgtheater“ and the Theatre in the “Josefstadt”.
But you should also not miss the culinary enjoyments of the area. You will find a large variety of different international cuisines. Be it the typical Viennese restaurant, a gourmet restaurant, Italian, Spanish or a traditional Viennese “Heurigen” – all this you will find within walking distance from our hotel. Of course we would be more than happy to give you more information about those restaurants and book the tables for you.
Especially famous are the festivals at the “Rathausplatz” that are taken place almost throughout the year.
In summer the „Rathausplatz“ offers you an especially attractive program. The Open Air festival in July and August that Viennese as well as tourists enjoy offers you a broad, diverse culinary program and after sun set you can enjoy broadcasted operas, operettas, musicals and ballets on a big screen for free.
In autumn the „Styrian holidays“ let the “Rathausplatz” become a colorful commercial for the wonderful Austrian region „Styria“.
But one of Vienna’s most famous attractions you will find in winter, when the city hall with its amazing Christmas’ lighting is putting the traditional Viennese Christmas market into an impressing atmosphere and in January a wonderful ice-skating place is opened.

Booked here for a one night stay for convenience (proximity to work the next day) and found decor singularly dated and unimpressive - with very old, faded, drapes hanging folornly against the window.
Welcome at reception was courteous if not over-friendly. I did not have breakfast the next morning so can not comment on that.
Despite being non-smoking the room wreaked of old tobacco...an indication of the age of the decoration and requirement for a refurb. Most striking feature was the 25 foot to the ceiling, complete with 60s lampshade. Weird. Akin to sleeping in a lift shaft. Still, be positive, in the UK they'd have stuck another room in that space by now!!!
That said, room was clean and the en-suite shower was spacious with copious hot water - most welcome.
Bed and mattress was hard...and duvet was minimal to the point of surrender. But I was tired and I've slept in worse.
For a one night stay I'd rate this as fine but I'd be a bit depressed to spend any longer here...particularly as the present renovations appeared to commence in the inner courtyard at 6:30am - nice drilling chaps!!!

The Hotel Zipser is really the insider's choice. It was used frequently by the American Embassy when the embassy was located on a nearby street. Yes, it is slightly--only 3 or 4 blocks away from the ring--off the main drag, but considering the overwhelming number of tourists in Vienna these days, this is a good thing, particularly in the summer. Getting places from the Zipser is VERY simple. Either walk down to the ring and jump on the Strassenbahn there or walk two blocks to either the U2 Underground station or the J Strassenbahn and you have it made. Ask them for directions at the front desk. (Be sure to buy a Strassenbahn pass for the entire time you are there--ask at Tabaks on look for the window in the Underground stations.) We, by the way, found most of the people at the front desk wonderful--the others were laid back, I would say (perhaps owing to language issues), but no one snapped at us--something that can happen in Vienna, believe me. (We've beeen there many, many times.) This hotel is spotless, well-organized, quiet, efficient, and comfortable, and the price is reasonable for Vienna.
