Renaissance Wien Hotel

Despite the things I did not like, this is a quality hotel, close to Schönbrunn Schloss and right at a metro station, but very quiet despite the location. The staff was very kind and attentive. Breakfast was fantastic. A huge selection of all kinds of food, with many vegetarian options. Tea was not so great, but I attribute this more to Wien itself, it's a coffee city. The bathroom wall has a small see-through window towards the beds. You cannot actually see anything, but the light is significant enough to wake your partner if you use the bathroom in the middle of the night (but at least the light does not come on automatically). Who designs these rooms, really? All in all, I may book again, staff, location and great breakfast are all huge pluses, but the air-circulation system made me sick. The room also has additional A/C - I did not need to use it, but it's there and it's not a given in Wien. There was a Billa and another smaller supermarket close by, just don't forget that on Sunday, almost all shops are closed. And as a vegetarian I would book the breakfast again - I only found one quality café (and another I chose not to explore) in a walking distance, but with not many vegetarian options and almost for the same price.

Lovely BIG room, spacious, modern, big shower space, comfy couch, and nice large king size bed, with I MUST add thank goodness just ONE large quilt and NOT 2 separate quilts which is the case for most hotels in Vienna. Coffee, tea making facilities., a desk and chair to work on and also a comfy large relaxing pouf type chair. Close to all forms of transport, with a 15 min tube ride into the city. Also various shops and grocery stores and cafes close to hand.

The hotel was well located. Not the most hip neighbourhood, but quiet and close to the underground. The hotel was clean and spacious. The breakfast was of very good quality and extended.

The hotel is located quite close to the metro which is the best way to go around in Vienna. It is not in the touristic part but one can get to the central square within 15 min. There is a supermarket nearby( note that all supermarkets close very early in Vienna at 6-8 pm which was unexpected as I used to 24/7). Our room was of a good size and I asked for slippers and bathrobes( there were no in the room). There is a kettle and tea bags are available for guests. I quite enjoyed going to sauna after cold day. It has a nice street view. All in all, I recommend this hotel. The only issue is breakfast isn’t included in the price.

Attending a nearby certification program, I had to work in the room all evenings - which was unfortunate given the great restaurants at Vienna. Nevertheless the room service was absolutely efficient, the delivery always in a very friendly manner and dinner was delicious. The set-up of the room and the bathroom is very convenient.
