We had tickets to the ballet and just wanted a budget family run 2 star hotel. Vienna hotel was not our first choice but we gave it a go, and we were quite impressed with the very good service we received. The room is as you would expect a 2 star hotel, clean, comfortable and secure. We asked for a room facing the back of the hotel to avoid any off street noise on Pireos street, and so it was quiet.
The location is very good too, only 2 minutes walk from Omonia metro, and 10 minutes walk to Plaka (beneath the Acropolis). We had no complaints about this hotel, and would stay there again.
Well, I agree it is not the Hilton, but I found the people at reception very kindly.
The room are large compared to the ones in other hotels of the zone (we stayed beforeward).
The relationship between price & quality is respectable!
Not good Posted: Sun, Jul 29 2007 Yes I'm here after another Athens trip. We had been one night at the Vienna hotel and it was not good. The room size is more than enough but the room and bathroom comfort is not like that. Location is closer to the Omonia than to Monestraki. However the most hotels are max. 10 min. walking away from the city centeir, so location is not a problem. The hotel is very old building a located at the noisy street. The breakfast was average Athens two star breakfast and totaly junk. We pay 65 EUR / per night per room for double incl. breakfast. I don't recommend this hotel for a long period stays.
+ Staff was incredible sweet
+ Room space was big
- Building was too old
- Bathroom was like a public toilet
- Street was noisy
