Hotel Altwienerhof - Vienna, Austria 

"Hospitality, old world charm, great value in Vienna!"

The Altwienerhof exudes classic Viennese style. Frau Kellner and all the staff we encountered were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The hotel is a bit outside the Ring, but an easy 10 minute commuting distance to the city center. The rooms were incredibly spacious, with wonderful sitting areas. Breakfast was superb with many fresh, nutritious choices and was served in a beautiful indoor garden (we were there in the winter). Frau Kellner helped us secure tickets for the Spanish Riding School and the Opera before we arrived. She also helped us with suggestions of 'must see' sights in Vienna as well as give us directions and specifics about using public transportation. We were completely comfortable in the neighborhood, day or night. We were there in March 2004 and the weather was cold and snowy. It was very easy to get anywhere we needed to go from this location. At the time we were there, the restaurant was not open, so I have no comment about that. This family has been running this Hotel for many years and the dedication, pride and love for their establishment shines through in every facet of the Altwienerhof. I look forward to staying there on my next trip to Vienna.

Not exactly in the middle of the city, but very accessible by public transport. Spacious clean rooms and facilities. Helpful staff, nice restaurant. We were in a 3 bed suite, but the 3rd bed was basically a rolled out sofa. But good deal for the < 100 euros

Ottima qualita'/prezzo! Personale gentile, colazione abbondante e di qualita'/scelta elevata. Due piccole note: la camera, pur spaziosissima, pulita e elegante, non disponeva di aria condizionata; questo potrebbe essere un problema nei mesi estivi. Inoltre, la TV era di dimensioni veramente piccole rispetto alla distanza dal letto e con programmi esclusivamente in lingua tedesca (a parte un canale in inglese...). Ritorneremo comunque in futuro...

The hotel's restaurant is now closed, permanently. Only the breakfast room is open (and only for breakfast). The neighborhood is not good at night, although it's fine in the daytime. At night, there were far too many streetwalkers to suit me. I feel sorry for the hotel, actually. The rooms are huge and the building is beautiful. It will either find someone to operate the restaurant, again, and get back on track, or it could succumb to the neighborhood and turn into a place that rents rooms by the hour. In this economy, anything could happen.

Very pleased by the size of the room.
