Austria Classic Hotel Papageno - Vienna

8.2

Rooms looking onto the main road are very noisy with old windows which rattle in the wind. We had to move to a room facing an inner courtyard. Staff were excellent - very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was excellent. Location very good - only 10 minutes from the cith centre.

9.7

It was my first visit to Vienna. Vienna is fantastic. Hotel very good, very nice staff, you can drink tea and coffe all day, it's free, sometimes with cake. Very good location. Thanks.

I’ve traveled with my family. The hotel is very close to the city center. The service is gut, employees are very polite and I strongly recommend the hotel for private as well as for business trips.

9.3

Zentral gelegenes Hotel, sehr ruhige Zimmer, der Service freundlich und hilfsbereit, Garage in der Nähe.

9.3

Some minor thing - not only the toilet in our room was in a separate place from the shower, which is more or less OK (despite the necessity of running through the room every time to wash one's hands.. especially inconvenient in the night time), but for some reason, the entrance to the toilet was... through the door of the wardrobe.. and it was freezing cold.. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay, and the personnel was highly professional.

7.3

Big windows facing a busy street: you can't have windows open during the night (while no adequate air-conditioning) A spectacular but non-practical bath cabin within the room Good english-style breakfast

8.4

Nice hotel with helpful staff.

9.8

Stayed in a single room with double bed, fairly spacious. Staff very helpful , free internet & tea /coffee all available 24/7 . Breakfast was fantastic, best so far in Europe! Not air-cond which is a bit weird being an aussie but besides that a great place.

9.6

Rooms are nice but small. Close to the Center. The tram is right outside of the hotel so you can travel really easily without having to walk to much. They have a great buffet breakfast.

7.6

We traveled with our 17 years old daughter and we were pleased to find a hotel which offers a spacious triple room. Unfortunately the view of this room is desolating :from a tiny balcony for one person you can see a dark interior courtyard with strange resonance and ugly splinters against birds.!The carpets and furniture are quite used. The hotel staff is friendly but can not offer many tourist documentation in english.Breakfast OK.

9.6

We had a wonderful time in the papageno hotel, the staff is really friendly and kind. They have a great buffet breakfast. They really care for the client. The tram is right outside of the hotel so you can travel really easily without having to walk to much. I recommend it totaly.

8.8

Fantastico hotel, situación muy buena y personal muy amable y cordial. Habitación para cuadro personas magnifica.

7.3

NEEDS AIR-CONDITIONING!!!!! Was like a sweat box. Room was huge and comfy. However a closed window leaked in a crazy down-poor in the middle of the night, I got up and shut the window even though it was still so hot and one of the other permanently closed windows leaked and soaked my bag and everything in the bag including passports, so our first day was spent at the Australian consulate which was was only a short stroll! The hotel didn't really seem to care much though which annoyed me a little. Breakfast was good though. And the main girl on the desk was nice and helpful otherwise. But seriously needs air-con! Not too far from everything.

9.0

Very convenient hotel for us. We liked it very much, would return there. Price agreed the quality. Close to the Center. Not for those who look for a lovely surroundings or breakfast with view into flowery garden.

8.7

GOOD HOTEL! JUST A LITTLE BIT OLD.

6.8

I stayed in single room. Room was very small. Food and service was good.

8.7

friendly staff. location not too bad, rooms and hotel cool. good for price, would stay again. word of warning though: vienna isn't a party town.

9.3

I'm an opera lover; it was an excellent choice to be there, because the surrounding (opera house) it's only 5 minutes walking, and competence of employess and the quality of the breakfast included made it a perfect place.

7.0

pretty close to the center, rooms are nice but small. Good for tourism

8.0

I had difficulty in internet connection in hotel, so I had to use internet service outside the hotel.

8.6

well situated , comfortable , clean ; staff very helpful ; excellent breakfasts - tea/coffee/cake always available in lounge

8.8

Excellent hotel. Staff was very friendly and competent. breakfast is just fantastic.

7.8

The room was really nice, located on the last floor of the hotel with a nice city view. The only problem was a church nearby which rang its bells really early in the morning. Apart from this, I would recommend the hotel for visit the city: it's' just 10minuts walking from the city center and the mentro station.

9.8

A Thoroughly enjoyable stay in Vienna with very helpful and co-operative staff. The hotel is centrally located and close to all types of public transport. A hotel one can recommend without hesitation.

6.5

I rarely write reviews but felt obligated in this case. First the positives. The hotel staff was great and provided us assistance for all our needs. The hotel was centrally located with easy access to transportation. There were also few negatives with our stay. Non-smoking room smelled of smoke, the room was dark and dreary and very, very small for 3 people. The bathromm was hilarious, too small for comfort. The breakfast room was small and often could not accomodate everyone wishing to eat.

8.6

my husband and my sister I didn't meet people there

7.9

Nice hotel 15 minutes walk from the center - Super breakfast in the morning - The girls at the desk are very much service oriented and always smiling - The price is worth it - I do reccomend this hotel if you are not afraid to walk a little....

6.7

Das Hotel liegt (15 Gehminuten oder 2 Metrostops von der Altstatt entfernt) relativ nahe am Zentrum. Das Zimmer mit Aussicht auf den Innenhof war für 3 Personen eher klein, aber doch ganz gemütlich. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und das reichhaltige Frühstücksbuffet stärkte uns für die vielfältigen Unternehmungen des Tages.

8.1

This hotel was quite good, though preferred the Suite 900m property down the block, which was about the same price but newer and in much better condition. My room was large and the bathroom fixtures were new and in good condition; however, the room itself was old and the furniture was a little mismatched and run down. The bedding was comfortable, though, and everything was very clean, so this is still a very good choice. The staff were very helpful and knowledgable. The best part of this hotel was the breakfast - a huge, lovely spread with fresh fruits, breads, granolas, cheeses, meats, and much more. Austrian know how to do breakfast (much better than the greasy-spoon buffets in N America)! The location is really nice, in a friendly area with great Asian restaurants, interesting shops and quite a few supermarkets - it was charming but not overly touristy. The naschmarket is nearby which has fabulous food. You can walk everywhere from this hotel, though there is a subway stop 5 minutes away.

9.1

Good location. Clean and quiet. Breakfast was very nice.

9.9

The staff are very welcoming and speak excellent English. The hotel location is perfect, only a 15 to 20 minute walk from Stephansdom and on a tram line if you don't want to walk. The neighborhood is quiet and feels safe. The room was very large and clean. It was in the back so faced an enclosed area, the windows were frosted so there was no view but I didn't go to Vienna to hang out in my hotel so I didn't mind. Breakfast was excellent, included hot food where many others do not. This was my first time in Vienna and I will definitely stay there again if I get the chance to go back.

8.9

Very clean hotel. I stayed in a large room with modern furniture that had recently been renovated. Very high ceilings. Excellent central location within walking distance of the opera, Karlplatz, etc. Staff were friendly and efficient. Breakfast was good.

8.3

Staff very helpful

8.0

cuartos muy grandes, muy comodos, y el servicio del personal es exelente, esa cerca de lo que quieras, y los precios estan comodos, completamente recomendable.

4.7

We were very disappointed in the management of the hotel. As I emailed you previously, we were charged $53.84 the day after we left for supposedly walking off with a hotel map. The accusation was unfounded as we have no such map in our possession nor do we know what map they are even referring to. We were also charged another $53.85 three days later without any explanation. As the Papageno management team failed to respond to my emails, we asked our credit card company to intervene. Regrettably, we had 3 loads of wash done and it all came back to us stuffed into the 3 small bags that we sent our dirty clothing in. That was very disappointing for the $21.00 that we paid. Mind you, we left the hotel without issuing a single complaint. Lastly, we would have preferred being closer to the city center, however, we did not mind the walks back and forth---it's exercise afterall.

9.5

I highly reccommend the Kunsthalle Cafe for excellent food, drinks and ambience. It is right on the corner by the university.

7.4

The front desk staff was especially helpful in making tour arrangements and providing information. I'm very grateful to them.

8.9

"Papageno" is an ideal place for visiting Wienna and staying for a few days.

9.6

I was pleasantly surprised when I found the Hotel Papageno. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The room was much larger than I was expecting for the price and everything was clean and wonderful. The breakfast was a feast causing me to wonder how everyone managed to stay so thin if that's the way the eat? The other travelers that I met there were from all over Europe. The final thing that really impressed me seems like such a little thing but the access to free internet was a very nice touch that in other Hotels was going for as high a fee as 5 Euro per 10 minutes!!! I would highly recommend this hotel and will definately stay there again on my next trip!!! Michael McColl

9.4

Overall an excellent hotel situated a few tram stops away from the centre of vienna. Staff were outstanding and helpful in every way. Would recommend to all.

4.7

the rooms in the I° floor are not confortable too big, too hot, the toilette was divided in two different parts and it is not so confortable

10

The people is very nice and help you with all your enquires!! I like to stay there very much and the breakfast also is very good.

9.9

The hotel was everything that was promised. The rooms were of good size and comfort, the breakfast buffet was filling and the service was outstanding. They helped us book concert tickets, bus tickets and discounts, etc. and were very helpful and friendly. We would certainly stay here the next time we are in Wein (Vienna) it is one of our NEW all time favorite family vacation spots.

8.8

My wife and I visited Vienna on our 30th anniversary, and the Papageno staff greeted us with a complimentary bottle of Hochriegl Trocken sparkling wine, flowers and chocolate. The staff was great, and we loved our stay.

6.6

That was our fist time in Vienna. The hotel shares your building with different kind of neighbors. Was the most expensive and the only of three stars (the another were of four stars)

8.9

Great location - a short walk from the city centre. The staff were very helpful and friendly, despite our poor German, and additional services such as laundry were reasonably priced. The free internet access in the lobby was brilliant, very convenient.

8.8

The main lift was out of order during my stay.

9.9

We were given recently renovated, spacious, well-lighted and well-appointed rooms with excellent facilities including air conditioning, safe, hair-dryer, well-stocked mini-bar, flat TV (not large but enough to check the news oin satellite TV at night) and new goose down comforters and pillows. Beds were very comfortable, breakfast fine and the church bell just across our window went quiet at night which together with the double windows ensure total quiet. The only unsettling aspects of our stay were our room layout, the cow fur covering the head of our bed and the small size of the elevator. Though clean, brand-new, ample and smartly appointed our bathroom was camped in a corner within a ceiling-less, sliding-door, office-like cubicle. Curiously our daughters' room on the same 4th floor had a proper bath-room and no fancy furs around. Overall good value.

8.8

The room that we had was large and spacious. The adjoining bathroom was exceptionally large, clean, bright and modern, with some unique and excellent features (e.g. the shower-head, shower/tub arrangement, mirrors, etc). The eating area and quality of breakfast provided, included with the price of the room, was very nice. We enjoyed our stay and are pleased to recommend this hotel based on our stay.

don't let Taxi drivers fool you, it is very close to the train station.

5.3

Reasonable value for money. Rooms a little dingy but clean and comfortable. Staff helpful and a good central location.

10

extremely knowledgeable, accomodating staff. wonderful location, great breakfast. Internet in lobby a big plus. Would highly recommend.

9.9

Great hotel. Excellent room and breakfast. All quiet and clean. Extremely helpful and nice staff. Absolutely the best choice if you're planning a trip to Vienna.

8.4

Hotel muy recomendable. Excelente relación calidad/precio. Muy buen desayuno. Las habitaciones son bastante cómodas y los baños están reformados e impecables. El hotel está a sólo 2 paradas de tranvía de la Ópera, pero se puede ir perfectamente caminando al corazón de la ciudad en pocos minutos. Sin duda, volvería a alojarme en este hotel durante otra visita a Viena.

8.8

The rooms are spacious and very clean, but the layouts are slightly "eccentric", with the WC hidden inside a cupboard in our room! But adds to the charm. The staff are very friendly and everyone speaks english and the breakfast offered is good. Location is good. 5 minutes walk from a U Bahn station. There is an S Bahn station just outside. under 5 minutes to the "Ring" The lift is rather small and can just about accomodate 4 adults. Overall excellent value for money.

9.5

We had a great time in a room on top flour with view at St. Stephan cathedral. Metro station is 5 minutes walking distance away, and tram station with direct line to Karlsplatz is just in front of hotel. Great breakfast. I would definitly stay here again for the same price.

6.4

We are a family of four who stayed at the Papageno in early March of 2006. The Papageno was extremely responsive to returning E-mails and answering questions prior to arrival. From a reservation perspective we specifically requested 2 rooms, one with a double or queen bed the other with two twin beds to accommodate our two young adult sons. Upon arrival we found both rooms had double beds. I provided a copy of my reservation request, which clearly specified two beds for the boys. Surprisingly, the desk clerk was resistant, and less than friendly, in changing the room but finally did so. The Hotel is situated in an urban area with easy access to the tram, the hotel lobby is inviting, and the breakfast met our expectations. The elevator (lift) is extremely small (it will accommodate no more than two people with their luggage) but functional. The rooms are charming, with European décor, and clean. The walls seem to convey sound as we heard snoring and voices coming from the next room. The bathrooms are small but clean. Sections of the hotel common areas (hallways, stairwells, etc.) are under renovation, a condition that we were not made aware of prior to making our reservations. It’s difficult to appreciate the charm of a hotel with drop cloths and paint buckets adorning the hallways. I am sure the hotel will be attractive when the renovation is complete. However, I am disappointed we were not made aware of this prior to booking our rooms the result of which is my reluctance to recommend this hotel in spite of it’s other redeeming characteristics.

9.8

A great value for money hotel situated in a great location. The staff were very friendly and I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to friends.

9.6

Great place, great location, great service.

9.8

We stayed in a double room for 2 nights. The room was clean and quiet. The breakfast is wonderful, there is plenty of food, every one's tastes can be satisfied. The staff was friendly and helpful. It's near the city centre: 2 tram stops and 1 metro stop. Anyway, late in the night, we came back to the hotel from the city centre by feet, and we didn't see anybody "dangerous". Good location, good prices, good hotel.

9.6

Der Samowar mit heißem Wasser und die Auswahl an Tees, die man sich kostenlos zubereiten kann, sind ein absolutes Plus.

8.5

Giudizio molto positivo:buona posizione rispetto al centro città (facilmente raggiungibile a piedi);ottima la colazione a buffet;staff molto accogliente. L'unica pecca è che in camera la sera faceva un pò freddino.

8.6

Hotel molto confortevole, ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. a Circa 200 metri da Karlz Plazt sul Ring e a 20 metri dalla fermata della metropolitina in Mozart Plazt. Stanze spaziose, parquette sul pavimento, bagno confortevole e molto riscaldato (per l'inverno). Colazione abbondante e personale giovane e disponibile

8.5

very good location, pleasant stay, excellent choice

9.6

L'hotel è splendido, prezzi accessibili, metropolitana a 500 metri e dopo due fermate si è già in centro. Buffet a colazione internazionale e abbondante. Il padrone parla abbastanza bene anche l'italiano ed è disponibilissimo. Ho chiesto una camera ai piani alti e ne ho avuta una al 6° piano, da cui si potevano vedere i tetti di Vienna. Raccomandato senza riserve

9.9

Papageno is a fantastic hotel. It is centrally located, the staff are very friendly, helpful and nice. The breakfasts are wonderful and I really enjoyed having internet access to e-mail my family. I will stay there the next time I am in Vienna and I would recommend it to all of my friends. Thanks for a lovely stay.

8.6

Good Hotel. I would stay again and I will recommend it to my friends.

9.8

I had a very pleasurable experience at the Papageno Hotel. The breakfast is great, the room was quiet and clean. I had a double bedroom for my own. There is a shuttle to the airport and the personal at the desk was very kind to book it for me.

8.4

Overall, we enjoyed our stay, it was hot in Vienna the week we were there and we would have loved air conditioning! The staff was helpful and the breakfast was the best we found in our travels for 5 weeks. Although the hotel was hard to find the first time, the location was close to public transportation and the ring. The room was a little crowded for 4 adults but we would recommend the hotel to other people.

7.4

Quite expensive compared to US hotels. Very basic amenities in the rooms although very spacious. It was hard to sleep at night due to the noise from the street and trams. The rooms do not have a/c and so it is hard to sleep during hot weather.

8.8

The staff was extremely helpful and the location was terrific. The only drawback was the lobby tended to be hot. The breakfast was good and convenient. We stayed here 3 times and were pleased each time.

8.7

The employees were very helpful and friendly. The location was very good.

9.1

A very good hotel, friendly stuff, quiet and spacy rooms. Breakfast was just excellent.

8.7

I asked for a quiet room on the top floor of the hotel with two beds and that was what i got. An extra bonus was that there were two bedrooms in the suite. The price was fine for us for the three nights we stayed there. The front staff were very helpful on arrival and during the stay. The breakfast was extensive compared to other hotels i've stayed on througout europe except that one of the pieces of bread had some mould growing on it.....It is 10 mins walk to the opera (city centre) and about 5 to the underground. The free internet in the lobby is also a bonus. Nice place, lovely city altough the main nights to go out are thursday friday and saturday night. we were there on sunday monday and tuesday night, the city was almost dead at 10 at night.

10

Free internet in the lobby was a pleasant surprise. Booked a single room and was given a double, with two large windows overlooking the inner courtyard. Very friendly staff. Enjoyed my stay immensely.

10

We found the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The rooms very quiet. We would definitely recommend this hotel to family and friends. If we ever come back to Vienna we would stay here again.

9.7

This hotel is a very good one, not expensive and very near from the center, the Opera, etc. Rooms are quiet, service is good, breakfast is excellent, and we may have tea, fruit and free Internet Connexion the whole day! I recommend it warmly.

9.4

The hotel is very nice, in the centre and near the subway. Our room was small but clean and warm. The only problem was the breakfast! It wasn't international and for an Italian it's very hard to eat wurstel and eggs at 8.00 am!

9.9

The Hotel was at all points what was promised on the Web-page and the staff was very helpfull and service minded. We enjoyed our stay very much.

8.2

Un buen hotel, con buenas habitaciones y una amable atención. Buen desayuno. Excelente relaciòn precio calidad.

9.6

To be honest, the pictures on the website didn't do the hotel justice. We were expecting a reasonable hotel but found Papageno extremely comfortable, and enjoyed our stay. Very good value.

8.8

Very nice and comfortable hotel, quite and with underground station stop near.

10

We had a wonderful stay. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was of very good quality with plenty of selections. The staff was very helpful. There was one clerk on night duty, a young dark haired girl who was very accomodating and really went out of her way to help us with maps ,directions, and reservations. We even returned to the hotel and booked another stay before we returned to the states. The hotel is very centrally located, near a grocery and within walking distance to the Ubon. I would definitely recommended this property.
