About
The Schlosshotel Römischer Kaiser is one of Vienna's most traditional hotels, offering an ideal city center location in a quiet side street of Kärntner Straße. The Karlsplatz Underground Station (lines U4, U1, U2) can be reached within a 5-minute walk. Built in 1684 and family-owned since 1904, this small baroque palace is only a few minutes’ walk from the State Opera, the Hofburg Imperial Palace and St. Stephen’s Cathedral. All rooms at the Schlosshotel Römischer Kaiser are fitted with a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a laptop-sized safe and a mini-bar. Coffee is also available in the lobby, 24 hours a day. A rich breakfast buffet is available from 07:30 to 11:00 and breakfast can also be consumed in the privacy of your room. Numerous restaurants, bars and cafés are in the immediate vicinity of hotel, as well as the Ringstraßengalerie, an inner-city shopping mall. Schlosshotel Römischer Kaiser combines a stylish ambiance with modern comfort. All rooms and suites are individually furnished, and the bathrooms, fitted with a bath tub, are designed in an original Gianni Versace style. The Stephansplatz Underground Station (lines U1, U3) is a 7-minute walk away.

Good buffet breakfast, friendly staff, location, charm
Location is great. Decorations/style are typically ‘Sissi’ stylish, but so very fitting to Vienna (esp. in January, during Ball season). And the breakfast is simply superb. We will be back!
I can’t think of a single thing.
Excellent location! Had booked a concert at Annakirsche, which is literally right there. I had an amazing dinner at Restaurant Sole which is also right next door. Hotel Sacher is a 4 minute walk! This was also a short walk from the Wien Mitte so very easy to get there from the airport on the CAT! The hotel itself is just beautiful!
There is no gym on the property but I knew that when booking. The location made up for that though! :)
It is a beautiful, characterful boutique hotel right in the heart of Vienna’s old town
Very kind staff. Lovely manager. Beautiful comfortable room and bed! Great pillows.QUIET.GREAT LOCATION.INCREDIBLE breakfast.Treats all day.Great staff!!! Thank you.
Location of this hotel can't be beat. Not more than 15 - 20 minutes from the furthest attractions, all easily walkable. Breakfast is more than enough, and very good. The staff was quite helpful, too!
Could not regulate the heat in the two rooms we rented. It was either too hold or too cold. It's nice an toasty for a winter day, but sometimes too toasty. Also, the shower hardware needed some updates, and wouldn't stay up properly.
Really comfortable and Fantastic location
Shower and water pressure
very close to all major sights: opera, Sacher, Albertina, etc. On a quiet side street from the main shopping street. And an excellent Italian restaurant (Sole) next door. Staff very friendly and helpful.
small problem at the start with sewage smell in the room. The water lock in the evacution pipes had dried out. Quickly solved with a few glasses of water.
Initially they gave us a room in the attic that my husband and I hated, but the wonderful front desk employee Ahmed was very helpful and gave us a much nicer room that was spacious, comfortable and very pretty. This made the whole difference to our stay. The hotel is cute and super central, wonderful location to visit Vienna. The staff is very very friendly and kind.
All okay. Wish they had all-day room service, not just breakfast.
Perfect location, great facilities, nice and helpful staff
Great location, super cute, staff was wonderful
Breakfast started late so we missed it
The hotel has all the things that we dreamed of when planning our trip. Old World charm with a romantic atmosphere. The hotel is located in a perfect location, with close and easy access to the Christmas markets. The staff were happy, helpful and did a great job making us feel welcome.
Location and breakfasts
Rooms a bit tired
Wonderful central location with friendly helpful staff, and a very quiet peaceful stay.
All was good.
This is the second time for us at the Schlosshotel Römischer Kaiser in Vienna! A wonderful place to call home with comfortable and cozy rooms, friendly and helpful staff in a perfect location in central Vienna! We highly recommend this excellent hotel!!! Anders and Katarina❤️
Its a nice location in a nice area. The hotel has an historic feel to it. The room was large. Staff were friendly
It felt a bit dated the room looked at bit tired the bathroom was shower over bathtub which for the price of room dosnt match other hotels offerings. The noise was an issue for me. The drainage pipe ran through the room in the corner so every time the room upstairs flushed or had a shower i could hear that. It was so loud it woke me up in the night. The room door was not soundproof so you can hear everything in the corridor. Overall disappointed with some things which means i didnt feel the price paid was worth it.
An absolute gem of a hotel. The most welcoming reception staff, very friendly and helpful. Very traditional Austrian decor.Plentiful breakfast, and lots of choice. Comfortable bed and spacious room, bathroom fully equipped. Couldn’t wish for any more .
Nothing. All good. Highly recommend.
Love this hotel and the location. Breakfast is amazing and Edin the manager is so helpful. I come every year and wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Vienna.
The decor , location and staff.
