Hotel Regina - Vienna, Austria 

"Pleasantly surprised"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
During our trip through Germany & Austria in August 2006, my husband & I spent 2 nights at the Hotel Regina. Our trip was booked through a travel agent. We drove from Salzburg & can honestly say, we spent close to an hour just driving around Vienna trying to find the hotel! But, the location is great! Both the exterior & interior are very old-fashioned looking - but, we thought it was neat to stay in a hotel that still had the feel of a century ago. We found the staff to be polite & helpful as well. We were so excited when taken to our room - since we were on our honeymoon, they had upgraded us to a massive suite overlooking the Votivkirche, complete with two bathrooms! We even had a piano in our room! And, to top it off, they had a Franz Josef torte & letter of congratulations waiting for us! It was the little details like that which made our stay there so memorable. While the feel of the hotel is definitely old-fashioned and perhaps out-dated to some, we thought it really took guests back to old-world Vienna.

Avoid this hotel like the plague!!

Most rooms have no air-conditioning. We were told that we got a room with air-conditioning if we were lucky!! The receptionists are mostly rude with no intent of helping the customers.

Old traditional but close to subway

Stayed on this hotel on Apr 08 for a weekend. It was partially under construction, but close to a nice park and also close to subway which is pretty important if you are interested in visiting places. While checking in, a credit card is requested for 'just in case' even if the room was prepaid. As its not mentioned anywhere while booking, wonder what happens if you just dont take any credit card with you?.. The rooms were clean,however everything gives you a 'old' senzation - guess thats what they call 'traditional hotel'. The room was clean and the breakfast- great. The staff was nice. I would recommend this if you go there for a short while being interested in visiting places.

Regina needs to be renovated - not a 4 star hotel
Posted: Tue, Jul 01 2008
I stayed at Regina for four days in June 2008 and the price was quite okay (Euro 2008 at the same time) but it was not a four star hotel, more like a three star hotel... There are a lot of nice restaurants close by and the hotel is only around 5-10 min walk from the city center - great location. The staff was okay, some were really nice, but others (at the breakfast) were unfriendly. They are renovating the curch and the outside(?) of the hotel so there were a lot of irritating noise very early in the morning (started at 07 am). The room was really tiny for two persons and the bed room too small and old fashioned. The breakfast was good. The hotel is a good "base" hotel, but more a 3 star hotel.
