Pros +
- Nice location. Clean and easy to navigate. The breakfast was amazing. Good service.
- Very friendly and caring staff especially the receptionists. The atmospheres is Very classy and typical for Vienna, nice breakfast, clean rooms, and the location is winning.
- Hotel Kaerntnerhof boasts a great location in that it is walkable to most sites, but also sits on a quiet side street. Our family of four stayed in the Dom Suite and found it to be large and comfortable. The wall AC Units worked well, which was crucial as we were there during a heat wave. The only drawback was that one unit was a bit noisy, but we adjusted to that. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the parking was close and relatively easy to access.
Cons -
- NA
- There were two points of slight frustration during our stay. One was the shower, which was aesthetically pleasing but made little functional sense. There were a number of confusing knobs and jets, which made it very difficult to operate, but the most challenging aspect was the fact that the shower had a half-glass door that did not contain the spray of water from either the overhead shower or the jets. Therefore, even though we were all trying to be careful, we usually ended up with a large puddle in the bathroom after each shower, and had to use an additional towel to mop it up. Also, my family travels considerably, and we found this breakfast to be very small and not particularly tasty. It might be better to forgo the hotel breakfast and hit some of the lovely cafes in the neighborhood, of which there are many.
- Parking, was told you could try and find parking next to hotel but finding that lot was hard and when you did couldn't find way to enter. Told a parking garage was nearby and that is best option. Had to walk to and from garage or you can Uber.

Staff was good and breakfast good.

Hotel was in a prime location and ideal for getting around. Close to two metro stations. Room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was perfect and staff were super friendly. I will definitely return!
The staff was some of the nicest we have encountered in all of Europe! The hotel was easily walkable to many different attractions. It was tucked away on a little side street so you avoided the business of everything else going on. Breakfast was also delicious.
Location is very central and also quiet. The receptionists were all very welcoming and willing to help (greetings to Aref if I remember correctly). Comfortable mattress, i usually prefer firm and it was ok for my taste.
Hotel is located in a good location, close to ships and cafes. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the train. Cute hotel with a little library and rooftop terrace. Breakfast buffet had a nice variety of food. Employees were helpful and friendly.
Convenient location to walk to markets. Breakfast was amazing and the staff were very helpful
Warm rooms and g ch couldn’t keep the windows open because of the restaurant below and the people were very loud
good staff, location and food
no room for a quiet drink in the evening
The staff were great, breakfast very good and location excellent.
We were in Room 101 and I believe was directly above the kitchen so preparation for breakfast started early and was a little noisy plus food smells were obvious in the room. Room was a little low on light. Otherwise comfortable and very clean.
great location in the center, parking next to the hotel, nice and helpful staff
Excellent location a short walk from centre and close to two Metro stops.Good breakfast buffet.Comfortable room, central heating made it homely in sub zero temperatures.
Complimentary tea in reception was excellent but stopped at 9pm and no other facilities to make a hot drink in the room - not ideal when returning later evening and it was cold !
The Hotel is a great location with walking distance of everything. The staff couldn’t be more helpfulThe room was a lovely size for three people in a triple room and the third bed was a proper bedThe breakfast was fresh and delicious
Location was amazing! Right in the city center. The facilities were clean. The staff were AMAZING! Really friendly - especially Arik at the front desk. It was super cold and he made me a tea, gave me some chocolates- really great service!
Room was a little small, there was no fridge or tea making facilities in the room. Shower was also a little on the small side.
Location in Vienna for my purposes was totally excellent. Breakfasts were great. The staff were totally knowledgeable and professional.
An old hotel in the best location. Very friendly people ready to fulfill all your needs and very polite. The rooms are spacious and clean.
The room didn’t have a some fridge, something usual for hotels.
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel.The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable.Breakfast was tasty, fresh, and nourishing — a perfect start to the day.The service was truly exceptional.A special thank-you to **Arik**, who welcomed us warmly and assisted with every question or request we had. His kindness and professionalism made our stay even better.Highly recommended!
