Hotel Goldener Bär - Vienna

Breakfast very poor.

I loved the accessibility (D-line S-Bahn would take me to the center in a few minutes). That comes at a price, as the tram can be heard and felt in the rooms. A Billa supermarket just around the corner is a great plus! And the free Wireless was impecable!

Carpets in my room were filthy and floor in the BreakfastRoom was dirty. Room (on street side) was very noisy - closing the window at night kept out some of the noise but made the room very hot and stuffy. Breakfast very ordinary, staff unhelpful. On the positive side, a good location, close to supermarket and tram.

Hotel is about 10 minutes walk from the city centre and about 10 to 15 minutes walk from the airport bus station. I stayed one night in a single room which was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was nothing much to talk about though. Staff/owners were helpful and very friendly.

There is nothing good about this hotel. The rooms were dirty. Breakfast was dull and coffee cold. One positive was that the shower was very good. They had crammed as many rooms into a small space as possible. The saving grace of this hotel was its location. It was in easy walking of all the fabulous sites in Vienna.

The location of this hotel is excellent, very near and walking distance to the Danube Canal, The Bermuda Triangle and the Rathaus which hosts a fantastic Christmas market in November & December. The hotel was ideally placed for the purpose of our trip which was to attend Euro 2008. Hotel was clean and tidy and was everything you needed for a good nights sleep. We were more than happy with the value for money at this hotel.

Es el Hotel mas cutre en el que haya estado, pero coincidió con la Eurocopa y no pude encontar nada más, y de hecho el precio fue exagerado para lo que es el hotel.

It's not a palace of course, but contains all the neccesary facilities. The main of them is bed, not speak of internet, TV, location in the city center and so on. If you want to spare money, come here.

If you get up 10 mins too late, you don't get a breakfast...

Nice hotel with good, spacious rooms. Breakfast somewhat disappointing Excellent location

Breakfast room is dull and not very clean. The hotel doesn't have good furnitures, the price is good but the quality is low.

Das Hotel ist in einem desolaten Zustand, dreckig, verraucht und das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist in keiner Weise angemessen!!

The Goldenebar is good to stay in Wien saving some money, being quiet and staying very very close to the center. My overall opinion is very good and I sincerely suggest to choose this hotel.

Very poor breakfast (not hot milk, old bread, etc)

We liked it a lot, and it offered free wifi. Big rooms and nice and clean.

Small hotel at convinient location. Rooms facing the street are too noisy if you leave the windows open, which you have to because the rooms are nor air conditioned. But overall for the price this is a good hotel.

First night contractors started to work on the facad at 6 o´clock in the morning taking down the plaster. Impossible to sleep. Breakfast not so genorous- the staff spread a "don´t eat to much"-feeling. But, if you are in good company it is easy to oversee with these details. Vienna is a wonderful city and you are after all here to enjoy yourself, and if you get up at 6 you have a lot of time to spend, so keep smiling.

It was a pleasant surprise to find that breakfast was included in the price - this was not shown in the publicity information. The accommodation might not have been suitable for less mobile people - as there were three flights of stairs to the reception and the rooms and no evidence of a lift. However, we would stay there again, really liked the accommodation and would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in a central, yet quiet, part of Vienna.

My opinion is that it's a good option for young people who want/have to spend a short period in Vienna (few days of holiday or business travel). The main advantage is its location in the center area.

In 10 minutes on foot you can reach the ring ... (Votive Kirke area) good position, also 5 minutes from subway station (Wien have a good subway system) .

Room small but clean. Staff helpful. You need to let customers know they need to go pay for parking at the tobacco shop.

We stayed well for 4 days in a big quadruple with bath inside the room

Very easily reached from the train station. Follow the instructions as given and the tram practically drops you off at the door. Rooms were not very fancy, but nicely clean and tidy. A little out of the way from a lot of the main sights, but not too far to walk if you like walking. Also with the tram stop right at the corner you can easily get anywhere.

Doormen (or more correctly, doorgirls) could have been nicer and more helpful at indicating interesting sites and hot spots downtown.

Nice location with a friendly staff. A little market around the corner is very handy.

Unfriendly staff at welcome and departure, impossibility to have a taxi booked in advance to reach airport train at 6.30 am; blankets and pillows and sheets filthy and in very poor condition; room and bathroom dirty; hygenic conditions at (very poor) breakfast buffet unsatifactory and a matter of concern. Place should be visited by hotel inspectors, rating of 3 stars is a mystery

Slightly out of the centre of Vienna but easily walkable. Very good value for the price I paid but not really worth the 3 stars it claims.

Pavimento rumoroso (scricchiolava) assenza di parcheggio dell'hotel posizione dell'hotel abbastanza vicina ai mezzi pubblici (metropolitana e diversi tram)

We had the worst ever experience in this hotel room. We found lots of bugs on bed, wall and carpet. Photos of room on website don't match with actual room. Smoking is allowed in breakfast room. And the food taste bad.

Recommend for anyone looking for a decent hotel at great prices located near the City Center.

I can't believe this is a 3 star hotel. Bath towels resembled rags. Floors creaked and gave in as you stepped on them.

Hotel needs total renovation, walls are dirty, "kitchen" and dining room is very dirty.

Basic but comfortable. Very handy location for tram and the metro was within reasonable walking distance. Room was adjacent to office and was rather noisy early morning. Overall we were very happy with the hotel.

The Goldener Bär was a modest centrum hotel. If some of the ratings seem a little low, it is because probably a little more careful cleaning could do. On the other hand in relation to the general price level, the hotel offered a reasonable price performance ratio. The presentation photos and descriptions were too positive.

We were lucky to get the room at that special date (31./01.04), cause it´s situated nearly central in Vienna. The room was O.K. but the staff was not very flexible an unfriendly in the morning. The breakfast buffet was nearly poor.

Very nice 3Star Vienna Hotel with a little lack of ambience

I was very impressed and if i go back to vienna i would strongly consider returning to the same hotel. The value and location were both great. thank you --- i just wished i stayed in vienna a little longer.....
