Hotel Schweizerhof - Vienna

9.6

its was easter sunday when me and my family stayed at 2 rooms. we were welcame with easter eggs and chocolate. very nice. we love this hotel.

7.3

Too small bathroom. Poor view through the windows.

8.9

I was only here 2 nights and this was part of my first trip out of the USA> The hotel was clean and centrally located. The breakfast offered was really wonderful. This hotel would be good for most anyone.

9.2

The hotel is ideally located in the right center of the historical center of Vienna, at a walking distance of every monument, theaters, etc..and of many restaurants and café at all prices. Last bu not least, the hotel is very close to the airport bus shuttle stop, as well as to any public transports. The hotel shows an excellent, not to say exceptional, ratio quality/Price in Vienne. Very quiet, clean and comfortable rooms. Meanwhile, the bathroom (including a shower and toilets) was really very small... The Breakfast is really very good and you can have all what you need on a buffet with everything. Employees at the front desk as well as in the cafeteria are very nice and competent. They even try to speak French!!!

I should have listened to the reviews for this place!! We had a triple room and while it was spacious enough the bathroom was definitely an after thought. I'm used to small european bathrooms, but I'm not used to my knees touching the wall when I sit on the pot - at 5'9" I'm not that tall. The saving grace is the extra WCs in the hallway. The disco, warned about by others, fired up Saturday night around midnight with loud music, yelling and fighting until 4-5 a.m. However, it was very quiet Sunday night. A couple staying on the other side of the hotel complained about the church bells, which would have been preferable. The breakfast served is very good with lots of variety. Champagne and smoked salmon, what could be better? The hotel is located about a 1.5 blocks from St. Stevens Platz, which is good and it took us no time to get our bearings. The staff were friendly and language was no problem as none of us speak german.

8.1

L'albergo è in una ottima posizione, a pochissimi metri da piazze e monumenti oltre che a pub e bar di ogni genere. Le stanze sono un po' anguste e il bagno pure, ma visto che per un week end si va in giro per la città in stanza si sta giusto il tempo strettamente necessario per lavarsi e riposare. Tutto pulitissimo e in ottimo stato, la silenziosità interna dell'albergo e notevole. Colazione a buffet da scoppiare, una varietà veramente grande, quello che si dice una grande colazione ! Lo consiglio a tutte le persone che vogliono fare un week end lungo!

9.2

The hotel is very good and staff are very kindlly. The only thing bad, is the room where I was. It doesn't have air conditioner, and it was very hot in Vienna.

8.9

Very good location and superb breakfast! Too small bathrooms...

6.7

Free Wi-Fi ! :-)

8.2

Great location, large and clean room, double glass windows, good and rich breakfast, nice welcoming. Pretty small bathroom, but not a problem actually. Good price for the center of Vienna, I recommend it.

8.6

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel. We stayed in a triple room which was not large but adequate and the third bed was not a "roll away". The amenities, such as safe, fridge and cupboards, were very good. The bathroom facilities were very small but we were prepared for that as a result of reading previous reviews. Some dexterity was required to manouvre however, they were clean and functional. The position of the hotel was excellent in relation to the centre of the city, transport and quality restaurants etc. We would undoubtedly stay here again.

9.3

The best location in Vienna. Very good hotel for the price, with excellent breakfast. The only noise was because of the Europe Cup and fans.

7.9

Very nice hotel, clean, good breakfast and perfect location.

8.6

Excellent welcoming, very good breakfast and perfect situation. An beautiful remember. MANY THANKSSSSS !!!

5.8

The smallest bathroom/toilet ever encountered. At 6'3" it was a struggle for me. Staff mislead about parking outside the hotel resulting in a parking fine. Walls too thin making noise from next door room intrusive. Excellent breakfast.

7.8

good people.good rooms very small bathrooms,but everything was clean

9.6

Great location, walk to any museum or palace. Front desk staff is really beyond reproach. Ask them for good restaurants around. Breakfast ( 7 - 10 , included )is 5 star quality and really all-you-can-eat. Room great, bathroom incredibly small, all very clean. Night club accross street very noisy on weekend nights, but you'll survive. All part of good value. For large bathrooms and quiet, you'll have to pay double, elsewhere.

8.8

The reception staff were first class, very helpful. Breakfast very good, they kept bringing more of everything right up to 10 o'clock. The bathroom was so small that one's knees were touching the walls in front and to the right whilst on the toilet! There was a space to add a tip in the credit card form, which I thought was a bit cheeky!

6.8

The staff was courteous, spoke flawless English, and was extremely helpful and attended to our every request. Only problem is that walls are paper thin, and a local discotheque (really a head banger's rave) started up at 2 a.m. and beat the bass drum (felt more than heard) for four solid hours. Although I really liked the staff, I wouldn't stay there again because of the local noise.

8.1

Hotel very good. One negative point: The day receptionist probably hated Italians. He treated us badly from the arrival to the departure. He actualy "barked" at us, while he used niecer talking with all other guests.

5.1

There is very little space in the toilet and it was difficult to even sit on the commode

6.2

This was my first time in Hotel Schweizerhof. There was some noise from restaurant or bar music in the Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, but was quiet in the Sunday night. The breakfast was excellent.

6.2

We could not sleep because it was too noisy. The hotel is right next to a bar. Drunk people were screaming!!! Also, there is absolutely NO hot water. Otherwise, breakfast was good and the location is excellent.

8.5

We saw this one reccommended as a real find on Tripadvisor and it's so true. Location great for city land marks. Best breakfast offered in our travels and staff stayed up late to welcome us. Lounge area to wait for flights after checkout was extremely comfortable.

7.3

Rooms very spacious, breakfasts were wonderful with so much variety. I did miss not having a mini bar to keep our drinks cool and also would have liked to be able to make a cup of tea in our room. We did have a pedastal fan in our room which we did use.

9.4

We stayed in a triple room. The room was very spacious, beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was rather small and had only a shower (no bath) which was disappointing, but considering the price (136 euros for the room with breakfast included,during the peak holiday period), I don't think we could really have expected more! The staff at the reception were most charming and helpful. The hotel is ideally located, just a few minutes' walk from Stephen's Cathedral, the Imperial Palace, State Opera and other places of interest. There is also an internet cafe just round the corner, for guests who do not have their own computer. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this hotel! We had a great stay. Thank you!

9.8

This hotel was a great find! Conveniently located near the Schwedenplatz U-bahn station and the boparding area for the Vienna-Bratislava Twin-City Liner. The breakfast was fabulous and the staff was quite accomodating. The only drawback (very minor) was that the bathroom was very small. But there was a crystal chandelier in the room, so it all evens out.

9.6

Excellent location within a few minutes walking distance of all the major sites. Superb price for the area. Triple rooms accomodated three adults well. Good variety of choice at breakfast.

7.8

The room is not very spacious for 3 persons, the bathroom is very, very small. Position of hotel is very good, although surrounding is a litle bit noisy.

9.3

acclgienza meravigliosa, posizione ad un passo da San Stefano, silenzio e colazione supenda... ottimo!!! sarà il mio appoggio a Vienna...sempre!!!

9.2

Very good location, excellent breakfast. The only minus: bathroom was incredibly small.

7.6

Centrally located and easily accesible hotel both from Stephanplatz and Swedenplatz. Huge rooms but with tiny bathroom! Very nice breakfast room on the 7th floor. Decoration a little bit old-fashioned.

9.4

a very clean and comfortable hotel, situated in a very central area, staff wellcoming and professional. we enjoyed and will recommend!

8.8

The breakfast was the best I've had --there were a huge variety of meats cheeses,cereals, fruit, breads, pastries, etc., even champagne!!! The room was typically small in comparison with north american standards but very well organized and attractive. The bathroom was very small and not very well arranged with the toilet seat cover falling down every time I sat.. and I had to sit sideways due to lack of knee space- worse than airplane seats. It took way too long running the shower toget hot water. The hotel was very well located but the web site map did not show the location very well and I had to search for a while, struggling with heavy luggage.

8.3

Great location, nice friendly staff, good service - and one of the best breakfasts ever

6.9

All in all a very pleasant and a very friendly hotel

8.6

The Schweizerhof hotel is suitably located at the heart of Vienna, Stephansplatz, very close to two metro stations. The service provided is excellent for the price that we paid. The room was spacious, except for the bathroom which was really tiny. The hotel employees were very kind and helpfull. The breakfast buffet was very rich with a wide variety of cereals, bread, marmalades, yogurt, cheeses and many more.

7.3

All was OK but the noise on week-end nights due to a near disco club. Bathroom very toooooooo little. Breakfast was great

9.4

Very nice,elegant and clean hotel, in a quiet and very centrale zone. Very gentle and professional staff, all speaking english. The quality of the service is very good and the raiting between price/quality is excellent. Only one observation: the phonic isolations of the rooms is not very good, so the noise can be heared from a room to another

8.4

very nice hotel, the rooms are spacious, quiet and the breakfast is excellent

8.5

Sounds of Vienna, national heritage, amazing paintings, excellent food, sweets and drinks, ... we were attracted during our stay. We will come back and we will try to get a room in Schweizerhof via Venere.com again!

7.4

The hotel was very handy to the city and tourist areas. I was travelling on my own and the hotel suited me very well. The room was tidy and clean and adequate for one person. The bathroom was very small. As I am small person I could manage, but a taller person would find it a bit tight. I was in a non smoking room but a slight smell of smoke was wafting into my open window from the window in the next room to me. This did affect me as I can have breathing problems. The breakfast was superb and could qualify as a luncheon buffet. There were three people on reception while I was there. One not so friendly the other two were OK. I would consider staying there again.

9.5

We got a corner room, which was very nice. The bathroom was clean, but very small. Very pleasant breakfast room, and excellent food. Marvellous service. - We stayed in Vienna for 3 days, and taking the shuttle bus from the airport to Schwedenplatz (and back) was very covenient. The location of the hotel was perfect with lots of sites within walking distance. Close to the U-bahn station as well. Several nice restaurants in the area. Will surely recommend this hotel to other Vienna visitors!

9.8

As an experienced traveler in Europe, I was very pleased with my 4-day stay at the Schweizerhof. Its location could not have been more central and since so many of Vienna's major sites, shopping districts, and museums are located in the center, I rarely even needed to use the underground or a tram. The breakfast of meats, eggs, fish, vegetables, fruits, breads, and juices (even champagne) was exceptionally generous and delicious. The staff were always very helpful and willing to make arrangements for daytrips, concerts, etc. on short notice. The Schweizerhof, although not large nor with expensive trimmings, provides the tourist and the business traveler a comfortable, quiet, and relaxing stay in Vienna, in my opinion.

8.2

Charming, reasonably priced hotel with an impressive breakfast buffet. Claustrophobic bath-rooms, but it came as no surprise thanks to honest description on the web-pages. Convenient location for tourists with less than five minutes to Graben/Stephansplatz. NB: The transfer-service to the airport offered by the staff arrived late and turned out to be quite expensive compared to the ordinary taxi-service.

8.2

Un hotel muy bien situado, en el centro y muy próximo a casi todo lo que hay que visitar en Viena. Muy satisfechos

9.2

Excellent position

6.1

Central hotel in the middle of Vienna. Rooms are small and bathroom is extremely small, but adequate. Good service and ok breakfast. You get what you pay for.

6.5

La situation de l'hôtel est quasi idéale, très centrale. Tout Vienne peut se visiter à pied. Les connexions avec les moyens de transport reliant l'aéroport idéales. Les chambres ne sont pas climatisées, et en été il fait parfois très chaud à Vienne. D'une façon générale, cet hôtel aurait besoin d'un léger 'rafraîchissement' afin de paraître un peu plus 'up to date'.

7.2

Ottima posizione (praticamente 2 minuti a piedi da Stephansplatz), personale gentilissimo, gli unici appunti che devo fare riguardano il bagno veramente minuscolo e soprattutto la mancanza dell'aria condizionata, sostituita da un piccolo ventilatore.

7.1

Well located hotel in quiet street - 3 minutes walk from the Stephandom. Pleasant hotel with polite staff - excellent breakfast served on 7th floor.

7.7

Excellent breakfast, great number of tables. No mini-bar in the room, but beverages could be obtained at the reception. We had a triple room, which suited us perfect. Bathroom was small but OK. Location great, adjacent to Schwedenplatz that has a direct shuttle to the airport. Nice welcoming, all reception staff we met spoke english.

8.8

Breakfast was very good. The doubleroom was not big but enough spacious. The bathroom was small, but functional. The location of the hotel was excellent. The price/quality relationship is excellent, so we could recommend this hotel for everybody.

9.6

Location was great. People on the desk were friendly and helpful. Bathroom was really small--not much room. The room was fine, but too hot even after turning off the heat. However, on the whole, the hotel was fine.

7.7

Everything was the way I expected. Room was small but actually quite OK. Breakfast was exceptionally good. Only the common areas were a bit worn out. Location is good, in the centre of the inner city,everything in walking distance and even easily reached from the airport bus to Schwedenplatz

3.7

The clarck at reseption was very cool and unfriendly. Rooms were tiny even no space for laggage. The WC was so small you could not properly sit on the toilets. The towels were tiny. The breakfast was excellent.

9.8

Es un hotel encantador, pequeño pero excelentemente bien ubicado, a unos pasos del centro de la ciudad. Lo recomiendo y por supuesto que cuando regrese a Viena me hospedaré nuevamente aqui.

9.8

A very good hotel I would be happy to use again. Conveniently located in the centre of Vienna, a short walk from the Hofburg Palace, and other sights.

8.3

The rooms are not overyly spacious but very well maintained. Breakfast and the breakfast service are excellent.

7.8

the most important quality of the hotel is its central position.

3.3

the toilet was inexistent, too small.

7.9

As usual for Italian people, I think, bathroom was too small and without bidet. Very good hotel. Staff very Kind. But it was impossible, as usual overall the Austria, to obscure the room cause the absence of the window shutter (or Venetian blind).

9.5

Near to public transport and the city centre. Room spacious enough. Bathroom tiny but otherwise o.k. Breakfast very good.

9.5

Hotel is ok. It is really located in the city center; Breakfast service is very good, lots of specialities are provided in the morning. i.e. every day a different type of bread is served, I appreciated it. Room hotel was clean and well located, it met the expected requirements of my family. One improvement could be the air conditioning which is not available, considering the summer season temperature. However a fan was provided for that purpose.

6.8

Desk staff, though helpful, was unenthusiastic and also vague regarding recommended eating establishments. I overheard a desk person indicate to a guest that he was unaware of anyplace to get laundry done, whereas I had been directed by a cab driver to a cleaning shop less than 100m from the hotel. The cathedral dwawing on their correspondence is certainly not indicative of the hotel's facade or description. To only provide pick-up service from the airport and not the train station does not appear to be well thought-out. The inability to take morning coffee from the breakfast setting to our room was an irritant -- it would seem a simple matter to provide styrofoam or plastic cups for such a purpose and avoid this annoyance. The breakfast layout was extensive and delicious with prompt and efficient service.

8.0

HOTEL VERY CENTRAL TO TOURIST AREA AND TRANSPORT.VERY CLOSE TO THE BEST HOTEL BREAKFAST WE HAVE HAD.

4.9

Of all the 3 star hotels we used in Europe during this visit, this one had the smallest rooms. The hotel had signs posted throughout the hotel warning that a marathon race was occurring the morning of our departure. We asked the hotel staff to be sure out taxi arrived early enough to have us to the train station on time to meet our scheduled train departure. They assusre us that they had allowed enough time for our taxi to have us to the station on time. Nevertheless, out taxi could not make it through the congested traffic and we had to be dropped at a metro station hoping to be able to reach our train. After catching the metro, we arrived at the train station too late to catch our train, and were delayed four hours waiting for the next train to our next city.

10

As Americans we were very pleased that the staff all spoke fluent English,were able to answer all of our questions.We were treated as important guest by Jay and all of the managers. The food was terrific for breakfast and the intire hotel like new inside. We will be back Dicxk

9.6

Right in the heart of the old part of the city, close to St Stephens. Easy access to everything. Good shops, cafes and restaurants in the close vicinity. Recommendable and economic. Excellent breakfasts!

9.1

I have been in the same hotel 12 years ago and was a pleasure to discover I was coming back to the excellent breakfast. The pathroom was a bit toos small. However the global judgement is positive.

8.8

The hotel is very centrally located which is excellent. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful at all times. The breakfast choice was wide. The room was a good size ..although the bathroom was a little small. There was some noise due to work being done on an adjacent building. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel and would look to rebook there when I return to Vienna.

8.8

Ottimo albergo tranquillo in centro città da cui partire ed in 10 minuti arrivare in qualsiasi località di interesse nel centro di Vienna senza essere disturbati dal traffico notturno. Vicinissimo al Danubio ed alle stazioni della Metropolitana per raggiungere luoghi più decentrati. Veramente cortese tutto il personale.

9.7

The hotel is lovely and the staff very helpful and friendly. The buffet breakfast is amazing and excellent value. Being very central, you don't have to walk far to find a great choice of restaurants, shops, sights or to take advantage of the superb local transport system. This is not our fist visit to Vienna and won't be the last and we will certainly use this hotel again.
