Hotel Kärntnerhof - Vienna

Great little hotel in superb location, competent staff, small room, wonderful quaint space

Bare bones room but excellent location

The hotel is located in the historical centre of Wien, very close to the Sthephan Dom. However, you can leave your car in the reserved parking, just round the corner! Rooms are quite clean and comfortable, and service is excellent (the staff is very kind and disposable). Furthermore, Wi-Fi is free in all areas of the hotel. Very suggested!!!!

Apparently, some touch ups were recently made so the hallway and room had an unbearable smell of paint or polish.

The hotel needs a serious update. The room (201) was without any charm and the access area looked very tired. No reading light, no hairdryer, no heating in bathroom, no shampoo. I did not like it at all, apart from the good location

The Hotel is Ideally situated,lots to see & visit within walking distance. It is surrounded by bars & restaurants & used by people of all ages on business & leisure .The staff are friendly, helpful & most competent.Everything is spotlessly clean & it is warm & comfortable. The buffet breakfast has plenty of choice & is substantial. The room we occupied on the third floor bore no relation to anything shown on the web site,& although very clean & warm it was small & could certainly benefit from refurbishment & being updated. Overall for a short break we very much enjoyed our stay & would certainly visit this hotel again.

The hotel is very centrally located, clean and convenient. Yet, it needs a serious refurbishment - which was continuing during my stay. It may be more recommendable after the refurbishment.

Excellent hotel. Spacious and clean room, good breakfast, excellent location and very friendly staff. Only remark, there is a restaurant next to the hotel and we had a front room, so there was a loud noise coming from people at the restaurant, until around midnight. Didn't bother us, but if someone wants to go to bed earlier, it could be a problem.

This is a great place for a short stay in Vienna. It's just a short walk from Stephansplatz and the main shopping streets but is in a very quiet location, with plenty of restaurants within easy reach. It's also easy to get to from the train station via the excellent tram & metro system. Our room was clean, spacious, cool and quiet (facing onto an internal airwell), and our hosts were very friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were very good. Recommended.

Excellent location, near subway and restaurants, on a quiet street. Triple room was spacious and with old vienna charm. Breakfast not special.

A group of seven women all of whom loved the hotel, the location, the convenience to the centre. We were in the dependency hotel of the Monaco and Grand.There was only a tiny lobby but feel it would be churlish to criticise and mark the hotel lower on that one point.

-yes, it did -with my daughters (adult)

Perfect hotel for a short stay in the heart of Vienna. Only a few minutes walk to the main city sights and also to Underground and tram services. Excellent value for money. Clean and efficient with good continental breakfast. Plenty of shops and restaurants close by for getting lunch or dinner and wonderful clothes etc shops all around. Recommended.

My husband and I spent 4 nights at Hotel Karntenerhof. The only downside I can think of is that the inside of the Hotel looks worn and the antique elevator is very small.

The rooms were very spacious and the hotel was in a great location. However, due to construction, there was a great deal of unwanted noise.

The breakfast was excellent and the staff was very helpful. It is in an excellent location for viewing the sights.

It is on a reasonably quite sidestreet in the heart of Vienna not far from Stefansdom. We had a great time and would definitely stay there again. The room was clean and reasonably sized, the bathroom was large. The staff was very helpful.

Great location, but very noisy. We stayed on the 4th floor facing the street, which looked like it should have been quiet. However, noise from a cafe on the street made sleeping difficult and deliveries/construction in the morning woke us up quite early. The rooms have no air conditioning so the windows must be kept open. The staff were very charming, though, and the breakfast was good. The location was definitely the best part (close to the centre of town and also to the tram and airport transportation). Worth it if it isn't too warm out and you can get a non-street-facing room.

Bel hôtel dans vieil immeuble plein de charme, à la fois très central et très calme, bon acceuil. Seul bémol la chambre simple est assez petite.

Good value .... Clean, quiet, amenities as advertised, and a good price for an excellent location only about 2 blocks from St. Stephen's. Only drawback is that the street is very small and a little difficult to find, but we had a taxi to get us there, so it wasn't really an issue. I'd definitely recommend it, and stay there again if I ever get back to Vienna.

We liked to stay here. It is very quiet, 2 blocks San Josephplatz and 8 from the state opera house. Clean, good breakfast. The standard twin room is very, very small, we moved to a bigger one. Very good restaurants a few meters away.

Quiet, spacious room,old noisy lift. Good welcome but just the minimum. No refrigereted bar in the room. Very closed from the center

There is construction going on in front of the hotel (Feb. 08), which starts early in the morning and runs late into the evening, making front rooms very noisy. They are already noisy, however, as the double-glazing does not block sound from the street. I was on the 4th floor and still could hear conversations on the street outside. Walls inside are also very thin; you can hear your neighbors sneeze.

Hotel Staff extremely helpful, went out of their way to make our experience wonderful. Shopping district adjacent to hotel is a slam dunk. We are walkers so all was perfect.

The location was excellent - very close to the Cathedral and a short distance from the Underground transport system. The hotel is quiet generally but, during our visit, the noise levels from 0730hrs were very high due to major building renovations taking place directly opposite. This is likely to continue for many weeks if not months.There are many good value restaurants nearby for evening meals and several excellent cafes for morning/afternoon coffee and torte.

Nice hotel - well situated especially for the Airport bus that gets in to Schwenplatz - although you'll need a map as it's through small streets. It's only a short walk to the sights and the staff were very helpful. good all round

Excellent location! Very nice breakfast.

The hotel is situated in an excellent area. Two blocks from St. Stephans

Hotel location is perfect, staffs are interested, so kind. it was great holiday, certainly, i ll come back.

Unbelivable small room Had nothing to do whith the internet photos the room door could not close, so there was no privasy and quiteness Very poor breakfast the heat in the bathroom was not working

Very happy with our choice. Great central location, friendly helpful staff. Lovely room.

They need better directions on how to get to the hotel!

We stayed for a week in Vienna, and had to add additional days to our original reservation, and we were quoted same rate as our Venere reservation by Hotel Karntnerhof. Location was convenient to tourist attractions-museums, catherdals and more. Shopping, grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and so forth.

The hotel is absolutely in the center of Vienna, but quiet, and it has a closed parking place for cars. The staff was patient and kind, the rooms are spacious in elegant style. The breakfast was simple but delicious. I strongly recommend it for couples for long weekends.

A very nice hotel, excellent location. The single room I had was surprisingly sapcious (relatively). Very reccomended.

The hotel was very good, especially for the price that I paid (which I think was reduced). The most pleasing aspect however was the service from the staff, which was excellent.

Clean, spacious rooms. Breakfasts offered tons of food and good service. We stayed at 2 other hotels which had higher ratings but smaller rooms and no internet access. The in-hotel computer and free wifi were a big plus.

We had a very warm and helpful welcome on arrival. The hotel is in a quiet street but close to the centre of Vienna. We will certainly return.

The location of this hotel, situated in one of the oldest parts of the city, was excellent. There is a self guided walking tour (in Frommers) that includes walking right past the hotel. All major sights were easily within walking distance and only a few minutes walk to the U-Bahn and Strassen Bahn. All the staff were very friendly and eager to help with places to go and good restaurants. If one is seeking to enjoy more of the local flavor, Hotel Kartnerhof is the place to stay. Because the Hotel was booked we only got to stay one night and spent the rest of our time at the Hilton. The rooms are on the small size, but very livable. Free wireless connection is definitely a plus. Although the Hilton was nice, we missed the personal touch of the Hotel Kartnerhoff. Plus with the Hilton we had to pay for internet connection. We will most definitely stay at the Hotel Kartnerhoff again.

The hotel is well located. The rooms are small and badly laid out and the furniture is sparse and very old. The beds (which were separated, one on one wall and the other away on another wall) were small and uncomfortable. The bathroom was small but it was good enough. Although very old the hotel is kept clean. The breakfast was very good with a very good choice of breads (buns). All in all, I would rate my stay at 6, except for the breakfast which I rate at 9.

The hotel is located in the heart of the old section. It is close to all the inner city sights. The staff was most helpful, both the daystaff and the night staff. The breakfast was very substantial and plentiful. My room was Medium to small but fully equiped. There is a restaraunt out front which could be noisy until about 10:00. Anything we needed or wanted to see was accomodated by the desk staff. We were very pleased with our stay.

The hotel is extremely well located for the airport bus, the Ring tram routes, the metro and all central 'attractions'. The staff are both pleasant and efficient. The hotel is very clean and the buffet breakfast adequate.Numerous excellent and reasonable restaurants are but a few yards away. A most pleasant experience.

The Kartnerhof proved an excellent and hospitable hotel although the location is a little away from the more interesting areas in Berlin it is well served by public transport and we had a most enjoyable stay. This was our first time in Berlin and the Kartnerhof clientel were predominantly business people which is appropriate to the location and the services provided.

The hotel has liked. A site very successful. It was pleasant, that in hotel local colour is kept. It is assured, that next time when we shall be in Vienna, we shall stop there.

This was a gem right in the middle of the old city. The service was excellent, the rooms spacious and comfortable and the food most acceptable. We would recommend this hotel to anyone and will certainly stay there again if we visit Vienna

It was the best hotel of my trip, it really had free internet on the room, the location was excelent and the hotel is really beautifull. Perfect choice for the price. Good breakfast too.

Very good location, kind and helpfull staff, nice buffet breakfast, good value for money, quiet rooms althogh in the center, good matress.It was the little things that we did not like: very simple room interior decor which we did not like and around the sink area was not enaaugh space for the shaving and staff we needed,also towels were not soft,and toilet paper was thick. but on the overall we got a fare price for a good locaation and a nice hotel.

Henry was very nice and helped us out with our travel arrangements. Rooms were large and clean. Breakfast was OK. A bit loud in the morning.

The Karntnerhoff is great value for money. The location is in the middle of the best area of Vienna for bars, restaurants, shopping and tourist attractions. The hotel is comfortable, very well managed and friendly. I think it would appeal to all ages. I think it deserves an extra star.

Very nice hotel, clean spacious rooms, welcoming, wonderful staff. Only the breakfast was lacking. Perfect location, book now!

Fantastic location, price, staff and facilities. A perfect place to stay in one of the most beautiful cities in the world! Yes, I am a tourist; Not a representative of the hotel or the city of Vienna. :-)

The location was excellent, the staff very welcoming and helpful and the ambience was perfect old world Vienna. We really enjoyed our stay.

Very good place for those who are interested in old city secrets

Go at noon to see the Anker clock, very nice and free....

Clean,quiet,well located and very good breakfast

We stayed in a spacious dobble room - very quiet (smoking allowed - we like that). We could sleep with an open window, allthough it is in the center of the city - near to everything including transportation. Kind staff, fine breakfast. Wonderfull old iron lift. Everything OK.

While the hotel isn't five-star, it provided excellent value for money and was very clean and well-kept. I would stay there again and recommend it to others. Take note, there are no tea/coffee or fridge facilities, but I understand that's quite normal in Austria.

Nice hotel in the centre. Clean, quiet and confortable. The hotel, on the avarege, met my standar. However there is no lift for rooms at the upper floor. Breakfast is not very rich.

A nice hotel in an excellent location - almost everything you would want to see is within walking distance. And for those that aren't, the u-Bahn isn't far away. The restaurant next door was OK, and there's a good place for WienerSchnitzel not far away either - Figlmuller. We stayed for 3 nights in the week before Christmas. If you're in Vienna at this time of year you should go to the Christmas markets at the Rathaus and Schonnbrun Palace.

I had an incredible time during my stay there.The hotel in the downtown,its old-fashioned style,old lift ,the silence,the cleaness,the good smell of the coffee in the restaurant,the smiles on the faces of all the staff there,that all impressed me much!

This hotel is in an excellent location for sightseeing in Vienna, situated down a quiet street yet within walking distance of St Stephens Cathedral and other main attractions. It offers excellent value for money. The hotel is old and very charming yet the rooms were well equipped and very clean. Lovely hot chocolate and viennese pancakes in the pub next door. Would highly recommend for a sightseeing trip.

Very comfortable and competent small hotel situated in a cul-de-sac hence very quiet well paced near the centre of Old Vienna good value (Venere rates less than those advertised in the room). Our room was spacious on the second floor at the front of the hotel, would certainly use this hotel again.

Hotel is very well located close to many restaurants and just three minutes from the cathedral. Our room triple was on the sixth floor and the lift only goes to the fifth. Rooms was ok if somewhat spartan and main room light is too white and bright. No shower curtain and very small TV. The price is high for the room quality but is worth it for the location. Staff very good

We Stayed in this hotel on two occasions this trip first for 4 days and later overnight.the first stay the room was OK but one drawback was the dreaded plastic shower curtain that chases you around shower.No airconditioning so could be hot in summer and a bit of noise from the street.Our second stay we were allocated a room on the 5th floor much better room faced onto the rear very quite and a modern shower with glass screen still no aircon but not aproblem in September. very good breakfast and central to St Stephens and only a short walk from the airport bus terminal.

A little noisy (that may be a function of the room we got) but very welcoming, well-run little inn only steps from the Stephansdom. Austrian hospitality at its best.

The Kartnerhof was very difficult to find as it is on a very small street that is not on most maps. The hotel is dated, but clean and the staff was very helpful. The breakfast was satisfactory, but not quite as good as most we experienced in Austria or Germany. The location, once found, was very convenient to everything in Vienna including the main shopping and dining areas and the subway was very close as well.

Belle camere in stile antico, molto grandi, non c'è il bidet. Una chicca l'ascensore. La nostra camera al primo piano era molto scura. Chiedete camere ai piani alti, IV o V. Ottima colazione, dolce e salata. Personale molto gentile, ci hanno aiutato con aerei e info. Centralissimo, a due passi dalla metro. Circondato da ristoranti anche a buon prezzo. Very fine large rooms, old styled. Very nice the old elevator. Our room, first floor, faced in an inner court, so it was rather dark. Ask for upper rooms, fourth or fifth floor. Very good breakfast, sweet and salted too. Employees very kind and competent. In the heart of Vienna, very near to underground. Good restaurants all around, good prices.

There should be photos of single rooms on the web page, as all the rooms are not like that showed on the photos.

Very good price-quality relation. Lovery hotel, very quiet. Breakfast could offer more variety (such as toast, fruit salat, orange marmelade); very friendly, helpful staff. The indications how to get to the hotel, if you arrive via train and tube are rather poor. I suggest a clear, little map, which can also be sent to customers via e-mail.

The room should be ventilated;

The hotel is in an excellent location close to all the major attractions. Although in the center it is down a very quite street. We would recommend this hotel.

We enjoyed our stay at the Karntnerhof the lift was small(one person and a suitcase at a time)however the position was exellent,and the breakfast room was very good & staff friendly.There is also a good resturant next door.

My friend and I spent an excellent 4 nights in this hotel. It was perfectly situated in the centre of Vienna, close to St Stephen's Cathedral. Our rooms were well furnished and very clean and the staff were extremely helpful. The hotel is old and in the Beidermeier style of furnishings, which gives it a certain charm, and the lift has an attraction of its own. There are many excellent restaurants close by. We would recommend this hotel to everyone.

The Hotel is in a perfect position to move around on foot in the city center. Leave your car in the parking place, which is right next to the Hotel. Friendly staff, spacious (except for the bathroom) and clean rooms made are stay very comfortable. Just make sure you have breakfast before most of the food has gone and, if you need the hairdryer, check at the reception desk or you might have to wait for a long time.

We were very pleased with our accommodations at the Karntnerhof, particularly for the price. The hotel was in a great location. The staff was extremely helpful and helped us find a place to dine on Christmas Eve when everything was closed. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay and a great bargain.

L'albergo è silenzioso come i suoi recepcionist, cmq molto cortesi. Non parlano italiano. La stanza era conforme alle aspettative, ma il bagno è un po' piccolo e senza bidet. Molto trascurata la prima colazione, mancano caffè espresso, brioches e roba dolce in genere, sostituita da salumi, formaggi e pane di scarsa qualità. ottima la vicinanza a tutte le principali attrattive della città.

Wunderbar gelegenes Altstadt-Hotel mit dem Charme der K&K-Zeit - ruhig und zentral zugleich; stimmige Details wie ein Fahrstuhl mit historischer Jugendstil-Ausstattung; außerordentlich hilfsbereites Personal; sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis

It is an ideal place to visit Wienna. Charming nice hotel. Just a few steps from the heart of the city. Lot of pubs and restaurants are nearby, just like all the turist areas. Ideal for relaxing, shopping. Thank you for parking too.

A very good location. Easy access to tram and U-bahn (with a few stairs). The desk personnel were extremely helpful in identifying a good Heuringen for a pleasant evening out.

Only there for one nigght, but if I was back in Vienna I would definately visit the hotel again!

Excellent position in quiet side street very near to St.Stephens square. Good helpful reception. Short walk to airport bus.

We spent 2 nights in this hotel with my wife for our first long weekend in Vienna. Absolutely quiet, in the center of Vienna ! Near all "must see" areas. Good breakfast with good coffee and good service. Spacious room, nice lift of the sixties. Excellent stay.

The Hotel was lovely and the staff very friendly and helpful. The location was great giving easy access to everything. The ease of booking activities was wonderful.

Clean rooms, very helpful staff and great location.

Average 3-star hotel in Vienna. A bit off the beaten path (around a corner and down a lane), but generally close to major sites. It was my 3rd choice, so I wasn't expecting much. It didn't provide more than the basics. The breakfast was decent, although I still don't understand why these little European hotels think people want "fresh meats" at breakfast.

Almost good! Especially, location is near Shweden Plats where there is the bus stop for the airport.

Fine hotel, but difficult to find because the map is not very detailed

We had a great time at Hotel Karntnerhof. The staff there were especially friendly and knowledgeable.
