Hotel Wilhelmshof - Vienna

8.6

good hotel and few minutes to beach. The room is clean and confortable.

9.0

The included breakfast was great! Only a block from a mass transit terminal for bus, subway (2 stops from St. Stephan's) and train (including 1/2 hour ride to/from VIE airport). Nice! The wireless Internet access was only so-so when I got there and then was broken later in the week. They should probably install more WiFi access points to improve coverage.

9.8

We've been provided with the very best room for an amazing price, probably because we've booked way ahead and informed that we were enjoying our honey-moon. Very spacious room with a little balcony. Extremely friendly staff and very well located hotel.

7.7

We stayed in a standard double room. The amenities were on the low end of the 4 star standard. The hotel is a little tricky to find, helps if you take the right u-bahn exit. The area is nice with lots of restaurants nearby and the ferris wheel is only a short walk away. There is also a planetarium and an amusement park so good for families. It's about 3 u-bahn stops away from the city centre. Breakfast was the standard fare in Austria, nothing spectacular, but a good variety of foods were available. Can recommend this hotel as it was good value for money, accessible by ubahn, and there were enough sites in the general vicinity to occupy our first morning in Vienna.

7.9

Nice hotel for price and facilities. Good rooms, clean and large

9.2

I highly recommend the Hotel Wilhelmshof. It is a good value for the price and is located on a quiet side street 2 blocks from a major subway and train hub and 3 blocks from a huge park. The hotel staff were fantastic.

9.1

located 5 min from train station and 2-3 metro stops from city center. area around hotel is quite residential with everything closing around 6-7pm. the hotel itself was quite nice, professional, clean and well-maintained.

4.7

El personal no es cortes ni preocupado, el trato es mas bien seco con tendencia a molesto. Especificamente se solicito un cuarto no fumador pero si hizo caso omiso a tal solicitud y no nos cambiaron de cuarto a pesar que lo solicitamos TRES VECES. Las habitaciones sin embargo son bastante espaciosas con excelente cuarto de baño (no el minusculo baño tradicional) el aire acondicionado funcionaba a la perfeccion. Bien situado si se quiere ir al aereopuerto pero el metro no queda tan cerca del Hotel. No volveria a este hotel en el futuro.

8.2

clean, quiet Good service

7.5

Good location. Good access to transportation. Area not that safe on saturday nights. Bathroom cleanliness and towel quality left to be desired. Not very helpful front desk. Good breakfast.

8.2

Good clean rooms. Free WiFi. Close to nearby small restaurants for simple meals. Ideal for an overnight stay.

8.1

The room was so nice and clean, if I visit Vienna once more, I'll stay in this hotel again

6.8

I want choose brecfastless but I can not do so.

9.4

Overall a nice hotel. The price was good for Vienna and the room was bigger than I expected and clean. They did charged my credit card prior to my arrival. I did NOT want to charge my card, as I wanted to pay in cash. So I did not like that. Other than that..nice place.

8.3

Rooms were lovely, breakfast was rich and tasty. Hotel is very close to underground, which is really useful to easily reach city center or Schonbrunn Palace.

9.1

Siamo stati benissimo. La stanza era grande, pulita e silenziosa. La posizione del albergo era comodissima, a due passi dalla fermata di metro Praterstern. Consigliato.

8.1

The service and competence of the staff is exceptional. The hotel is quite well located within a few minutes walk from a station. Good breakfast.

10

Very nice hotel.Very nice employees.

9.1

We enjoy staying here from 29 dec to 2 jan 2009. Hotel was OK, room was clean, good breakfast. we pay 15E/day for garage and we had no problem with parking during all our stay. 10 min walking to prater. 5 min walking to U1 underground station. With the underground you can go directly to center - 2 stations. We enojoy our staying at this hotel, I will come again next time when i want to spend some days in Wien.

9.1

My wife, 8-year-old daughter & I stayed at the Wilhelmshof Dec 20-23 2008. Staff were excellent, the rooms spacious and warm, and the breakfast was of high quality. There is a small park with a playground on the same street about 1/2 block away (good for 1-6 year-olds). The only negative for us was the location. As mentioned in other comments, the hotel is outside the Ringstrasse and, at least in winter, not a comfortable walk with a child to the main attractions of the city. That said, the metro is very nearby, clean, safe & easy to use.

9.8

facilities for making a hot drink in the room would be good.

8.2

Stazione metro e dintorni mal frequentati

8.3

I have been in Vienna twice this year. I spent mach better time in October then in January. The weather was like a spring, and I was walking and walking. The hotel was excellent. I had quiet and clean room, service was good and breakfast was very delicious. The hotel is near Praterstern and it took me 2 minutes from hotel to metro station. There is ideal connection with all part of Vienna. I would recommended this hotel to all my friends and everyone who ask for a good hotel in Vienna.

9.9

we really liked this hotel! For this price and for 3* it was excellent. We did not care about location, because we went there by car, therefore I cannot evaluate location. Breakfast was very good. There is a parking in the hotel for 10 EUR. We were very satisfied and I would recommend this hotel, rather than staying in hostel for 8 EUR less. They have blocked money on my bank account for this room, even though we paid cash there, money on bank account were unblocked only after 4 days - this was the only thing I didn't like. There is free Wi-Fi in the room!

9.9

Fantastic hotel, we were upgraded for free to a newly renovated room and stayed an extra nightat the same price. Close to restaurants, city centre, underground. Staff are efficient and multi-lingual, breakfast was adequate.

10

All was excellent. Room, staff, Breakfast.Hotel was very close to S-Bahn Train and 2 Lines U-Bahn Stations, near by the prater. I would stay there again.

9.2

Very welcoming, spacious ,comfortable and friendly hotel. Staff spoke perfect English, rooms were large and comfortable. Twenty minute walk to the Innerstat, and the nearby park is wonderful for walking. Good rail connection from airport at Praterstern 5 mins away. We would highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Vienna. Well done everyone at the hotel!

9.0

Everything about the room was just about as good as it could be. We were especially impressed with how quiet it was. The only thing that was less than perfect was the air conditioning unit, which stopped working on the third day of our four-night stay. We reported it to the front desk on the evening we noticed it, but nothing was done about it during the remaining day-and-a-half of our visit, and no one followed up with us or apologized about it.

9.9

We met quiet, correct, nice people at the hotel. Room was large, clean and comfortable The staff very friendly Breakfast generous and good

8.3

Everything was very nice except there was a bad odour at the main entrance and inside the lobby.

7.9

Very clean and quit rooms. Close to Underground, 2 stations from centre.

9.2

Very nice hotel-quiet and clean, good rooms,very tasty and plentiful breakfast.5 minites away from the S-bahn station, 30 minutes from teh airport with the train (3.5 euro the ticket in one direction). Near by the Prater. We reccomend it!

9.1

It was generally excellent but the hotel should pay attention to the proper maintenance of air conditioning units to get my full points. I would say the staff were professional and very helpful. The breakfast was excellent. I would stay there again.

9.3

Hotel Wilhelmsof was very nice, good sized clean rooms and welcoming, multilingual staff. About 25 minutes walk into heart of city, is close enough, and about 5 - 8 mins walk from train station

9.1

Great location if coming in from the airport or the train station...very accessible. Quiet area and within walking distance to main area. Room was very clean and had a spacious bathroom. Great variety for breakfast and friendly staff. Would definitely consider returning.

7.6

El hotel es de fácil acceso llegando desde el aeropuerto. La gente es muy amable. Puedes conseguir en la recepción gente que hable español además de alemán e inglés.

7.4

El hotel está de maravilla. Tal vez un poco de jaleo durante el fin de semana porque tiene un par de bares abajo. La zona es un poco oscura pero no nos dio sensación de inseguridad. Lo bueno es que está al lado del Práter. Y aunque está relativamente cerca del centro en metro es un poco engorro tener que depender del transporte

9.6

We staid in Vienna for a weekend and my impressions about hotel are really great. Located just two metro stations form center in a very nice area and the room where we staid is very nice (Room No 423). I would strongly recommend to stay there and breakfast is really great.

8.3

Perfect stay ! this is a very good choice !

9.9

We had a very good and satisfied breakfast, enough for a light lunch. Excelent hour for breakfast. Good location for everything and very close to the U-bahn Station.

8.9

Hotel muy bien situado. Comunicación directa con el aeropuerto desde Praterstern en el S7 y con el Metro hacia el centro, al que se llega andando en unos 15/20 minutos. Habitacion muy amplia, limpia y bien equipada. Personal muy amable. Hotel muy recomendable.

8.4

Much farther from "town" than depicted in map but good hotel overall.

8.9

The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the Ringstrasse but we found it enjoyable and relaxed both during the day and at night (ie: no security issues at all). The breakfast was excellent (if a bit too heavy on the meat side but we are in Vienna after all...). Both my husband and I were surprised to find so many people in the breakfast area after our first night; we had a very quiet night and heard no noise at all from other guests). We also found that there was very little noise from the street. The room was spacious and newly renovated; the bathroom was bright and sparkling clean. I would not hesitate at all to stay at the Wilhemshof again. We liked the fact that it is basic and no-frills (ie: no lotions/shampoos in the loo, no pool, etc) as it means we aren't paying for things we aren't interested in. And Vienna is such a fantastic city!!! We loved every minute of it.

9.8

We were very pleased with our stay here. We had orginally booked a Double Economy but we were upgraded to to the next grade up. The room was very spacious and the bathroom was very big. The breakfast was the usual continental fare, cold meats, cheese, lots of cereal choice with yoghurts or milk, lots of different breads and juices, plus hot drinks served to you at your table. The staff helped in booking a city tour for us and the free internet was useful for checking-in online with the airline. The location is great, it is near the Prater which is a amusement park and near to the Prater/Wein Nord train station which has lots of tram connections and the suburban S-bahn train. Take train 7 from this station to the airport, with a ticket costing 1.80euros (cost of a one-way trip on the Vienna transport system)

10

The hotel we originally wanted was booked so we opted for this one instead. Little did we know that the hotels were within a block of each other. The Wilhelmshof was a great hotel. The staff was wonderful, even allowing us to order from the bar after hours. Breakfast was an extra bonus included in the price of our stay. We were served coffee immediately after sitting down. The room was nice and spacious - no problems whatsoever. The heated floors in the bathroom was a nice touch (especially for chilly January!). We were able to walk into the city centre in about 20 minutes, no problem, which we did daily. And when we did need a taxi, we were told it would be a ten minute wait, but the taxis arrived in about three minutes! There are cafes all within walking distance for meals, and the hotel is located in a safe neighborhood for evening strolls. I've recommended it to all my friends who have inquired about a hotel in Vienna. It is tucked away and is in a quiet area, but just one block from the main roads. I believe the area (and maybe even parts of the hotel?) were under construction, but it was very quiet - not one sound was heard. I would definitely stay there again.

8.0

Be sure to visit the Gusthaus Hansy around the corner!

9.2

We were very pleased with the hotel and would definately stay there again. I have already posted a review of the hotel we were so pleased with it.

9.4

Extremely clean, conveniently located, highly recommended!

7.3

Unfortunately there was building work going on in the adjascent building and part of the hotel which was very noisy from 7.30am. This is probably not a permanent problem, but it caused us an unwanted very early morning wake up after a day of travelling and had to ask for a room change for the rest of our stay. Otherwise, clean and courtious but not overwhelmingly friendly. Very well situated.

7.7

Very helpful staff. Ideal location for Danube and trains.

8.1

Nice hotel for the price. Too bad they required one night's deposit to reserve a room, despite what Venere's site indicates. No crib in the room (for our daughter) upon arrival even though I had asked the hotel to provide one. Despite that, my family and I had a great time in Vienna and even made reservations to stay at the Wilhelmshof again next month. It's location, near the Prater, is good and getting there from Sudbahnhof was easy, even at 11:00 p.m. Complimentary breakfast was great!

9.3

Beautiful, spacious room. Great continental breakfast with plenty of choice.

9.2

We had an enjoyable stay at the Wilhelmshof. Nice, comfortable, up-to-date, big, quiet room with a well-fitted, warm bathroom. (This was a chilly 1st of Nov and therefore appreciated.) Friendly staff. The level of in-room niceties is adequate and fairly smart: e.g. kleenex dispenser provided, bedside lamps on both sides, but no mini-fridge and no in-room safe (both of these items can be high overhead and problematic). Not to worry: there are a couple of superettes nearby and beverages bought at the hotel bar are reasonably priced. Note that the breakfast is good and included in the price but it does get a bit crowded. LOCATION: A 5 minute walk to the metro stop which is just 2 stops from St. Stephenplatz (the center of Vienna) on the U1 line. You could spend far more on lodging (e.g. one of the hotels on the Ring) and still not be any better located. Please pay little heed to other review comments about the neighborhood not being 'the best.' It's a mixed residential area for Pete's sake, not the L.V. Strip. For sub-urban dwellers (American or otherwise) who may not be used to it, this is what a city -- one that is pedestrian and bike friendly -- looks and feels like. As with anywhere else you walk (especially as a stranger/tourist)you do have to be aware of your surroundings. So yes, take the d*** i-phones out of your ears ;-). Take a one-block walk from the hotel (towards the metro stop!) and stop in the local Aida cafe (as Viennese as apfel strudel and, ah ... hot dogs!(just kidding). Savor your coffee and pastry and enjoy your surroundings. OVERALL: An excellent, comfortable choice for independent-minded travelers.

9.2

Hotel in posizione molto tranqulla, con la fermata della metro a 100 m, e con due fermate si è in pieno centro. Internet gratis, colazione abbondante, camere pulite e grandi. Parcheggio oer la macchina custodito a €7,90 a notte. Personale gentile. Ottimo prezzo/qualità.

9.4

good connected to city centre clean and friendly rooms good breakfast friendly staff nice price

8.6

Nettes Hotel mit relativ kurzem Weg zur U-Bahn. Zimmer sauber und groß genug, Ausstattung ok. Angenehm besonders, dass es nicht hellhörig war! Würde wieder dort übernachten!

6.0

We had two rooms booked; location was a problem with no shop opened after 18H00. Directions from Underground station to Hotel should be revised. We walked for more than 30 min in the wrong directions with no shops opened or any Taxi nearby that we could ask for direction. This area of Wien is worst that a ghost town

7.9

Most important things are: - Cleanliness of rooms - Location (public transport) - Special family-rooms - Quietness of rooms

4.6

Stayed for 4 nights in Vienna. The room is spacious. Second night I had bedbugs and got bites all over my legs. Hotel seemed clean. Breakfast is OK. Hotel should use allow guests to self-serve coffee or tea. Some mornings we had to wait for coffee to arrive. Jucie glass can be a bit larger so we don't have to keep running for refills. Location is near subway station, very convenient and location is quiet. There is a laundry facility next door where you can send your own laundry there and get it back in a day, no need to use hotel laundry service. Hotel rep was nice enough to allow us to use an adaptor for our electrical equipment, i.e. camera, laptop and cell phone chargers.

8.1

Nice hotel, good location, friendly staff.

8.9

Location of the Hotel is very close to the train station. Made it very easy to walk to the hotel and walk back from the hotel to the train. The area around the train station was a little "rough" but we had no disturbing experiences. Finding the hotel was a bit confusing but with help from the people we met it was not difficult to find. G.S.

7.6

Hose Keeping staff was non-frindly people & you really think that they are forced to serve you at this hotel !!!!

9.9

An excellent hotel! Thoroughly enjoyed staying in this clean, spacious property. The staff were very helpful. The room and bathroom were spotless and comfortable. Breakfast was the usual European hotel breakfast. One thing to note is only the superior rooms have air conditioning and it was just by chance that I realised that when booking. Hotel was situated near the train station on a dark street. However, it felt safe walking at night. The city has such a good transport system that it doesn't matter if you are not situated in the centre of the city. Within minutes, you are in the heart of Vienna. Vienna is beautiful and we want to revisit. We will definitely stay at this hotel again!

9.4

The Wilhelmshof was a great hotel for us! We also stayed at another Vienna hotel inside the Ringstrasse that was "closer to the action". But much preferred the Wilhelmshof. It was close to all major transportation options, good room for the value, internet PCs available in the lobby. But above all was REALLY quiet. Well worth a couple minutes more on the train or subway to get more reasonable prices and a good night's sleep!

9.1

Nice hotel to sightseeing Vienna, very close to the world famous wheel and only a few steps away from the center. Very quiet and clean hotel, enjoy the breakfast as much as you can!

8.9

Comfortable, no-frills hotel. Breakfast was good. Hotel is on a quiet street, about five minute's walk from Nestroyplatz metro station (2 stops to centre). The immediate streets are dull but safe - but very convenient for Prater and also Praterstern station (from airport). Free internet access was nice. Rooms were clean but towels etc were low-end.

9.5

The only recommendation I would make is to divide the breakfast room into smoking and nonsmoking, since it is two rooms anyway. We did not like being near smokers at breakfast. Otherwise we thought the hotel was excellent.

9.1

We spent the first leg of our first trip to Europe at the Wilhelmshof and were very happy with the choice. Our welcome was friendly and fast and our superior room was spacious, very clean, nicely set up and we were lucky enough to get a rear garden view from the 6th floor. The breakfast room was complete with both smoking and non-smoking sections, a generous selection of cold meats, cheeses and fruits served more than enough to prepare you for the day ahead...however a little music in the room would serve to break the stoney silences that often pervade these spaces. The hotel bar was very nicely furninshed, although very quiet and barely used or so it seemed. The hotel is very conveniently located...an easy 20min walk to the city centre or a 5min walk to both the underground or tram that will take you directly into the city, no fuss. The area around the hotel is not so picturisque, a bit rough in places...but then again you dont spend alot of time there anyway. The hotel itself is the nicest building in the street, so its a pleasure to come back to! We spent 4 nights at this hotel and were very happy with the price and the product; a good deal.

9.4

Really nice hotel, there's a very useful wifi connection and the breakfast is very good

9.9

We stayed for 4 days and had a fantastic time

7.8

Excellent property. Very clean and friendly staff. A little away from the main hustle and bustle of city, but 2 seconds to reach by underground. U-Bahn(underground) us hardly a min., away, just get on it and blink you can travel any where in the city within seconds. The transit system is very easy to understand, we felt as we are residents of the city, everything was so clear. Breakfas at the hotel is good, rooms are small but well planned and warm. No english channels on TV, only one music channel. Excellent overall, would come back again for sure..

8.6

I appreciated the staff here... the lady at the desk when I came in was quite helpful, as was the gentleman when I departed. Both were friendly and seemed genuinely interested in making my stay and departure a good experience. The room was fine -- clean, and exactly what I expected for price paid. My only complaint, if you can call it that, was that the mouse on the hotel's lobby computer broke and couldn't be replaced. I left too early to try the breakfast, so can't comment on that, but would stay here again, definitely.

9.6

Having a Superior Double with my girlfriend, we had a pleasant 4 nights stay early December. The hotel is perfect and had we known how low the cab-fares were, we would have taken taxi more often, as it is a bit out of the way, although not more than 20 minutes on foot to the city centre. The room was spacious, the view not too interesting. No mini bar or trouser press, but FREE WIFI, which was a very big plus in my book. I would not hesitate to book a superior room there again. (How do you search for free wifi on venere. It is a thing that can make up to 20-30€ difference per day!)

10

This was a lovely hotel, beautifully decorated and within walking distance to downtown Vienna. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

9.9

We stayed two nights and it was great. The location was a bit out of the main city but very close to the metro so it was very convenient. The room and bathroom were both large and we found the whole hotel very clean. Breakfast was also huge buffet with plenty of fresh food. Definatley recommend to others great service and overall stay was very pleasant. Only downfall was smoking in the bar downstairs meant smoke went right up the lift at occasional times but we are non smokers so we noticed it more. The room didnt smell like smoke only the lift.

9.0

The hotel has a very good location with respect to the public transport (U-bahn). This allows for visiting many interesting places in Vienna at a low cost. At the same time, it is situated in a very quite area. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. The hotel prize includes breakfasts which are tasty. The rooms are cleaned with almost unnoticable interruption. In summary, the hotel offers a very good value for money.

9.3

We were very pleased with the Wilhelmshof. It is not in the most beautiful part of Vienna, but is very well located for transport (3 U-Bahn stops to Stephansdom, direct S-Bahn to airport). The room was spacious and pleasant, and reasonably-priced. We would stay here again!

9.5

Davvero un ottimo hotel, camere e bagni spaziosi, silenziosi e puliti, personale gentile, disponibile e attento, parla inglese e anche italiano. Prezzi davvero convenienti. Posizione: fantastica! A pochi passi dalla stazione Wien Nord collegata con l'aeroporto, nonché a pochi passi dal centro storico e dalle linee metropolitane. Tutt'intorno negozi e ristoranti. Consigliatissimo!

10

A very enjoyable and pleasant stay at this Hotel. The rooms were excellent for space and comfort. Close to the shops and carnival attractions. Near railway and taxis stand just outside the door. Would recommend as a good place to stay.

9.0

Our room air conditioner was broke and he had no other rooms available. Why did he book the room or at least give a discount , when asked he said no.

9.5

If you prefer a location that is not in the heart of the crowded, noisy center....and want ot be close to a huge green area(the island in the river not the Prater park), which has fabulous pedestrian roads for running, walking, etc. then this place is top-notch. In addition you are only a few blocks from the metro so it is a easy ride into the center if you don't feel like walking there. The staff were very helpful at all times. Breakfast buffet was pretty substantial with a variety of items. I highly recommend this hotel and most definitely will stay again on next trip to Vienna.

9.3

very nice hotel,good location,spacious rooms,friendly staff,excellent breakfast,a little hard to find because most of the streets in the area are "one way" and some of them are in reconstruction,you may see the hotel but dont know how to reach it:),if i go to Vienna again I would book Wilhelmshof again for sure

10

We really enjoyed the breakfast which was included with our room. The close proximity to the Underground made it very easy to get to all parts of the city.

8.2

Quietness of our room was excellent becauce it was to the backside, our friends had a room towards the street with a lot of morning noise and noise from a nearby bar.

9.3

The romm was clean and spacious. the places very quiet and near to the metro. Excelent breakfast and very friendly people in the fronk desk.

10

This is an excellent and good value hotel. The fact that it is not in the Centre (2 metro stops away) is no problem at all.

9.1

very new rooms, spacious, did smell a bit like paint though, recently refurbished

10

Fantastic place. Better than the photos! The rooms were really lovely and the hotel was v near a metro station and a bus/tram station which took you anywhere you wanted to go! Would reccomend to anyone going to Vienna!

8.1

all ok!

8.9

Günstig gelegene Unterkunft, die alles bietet was sie anbietet. Gut wenn man zu Fuss unterwegs ist, da es sehr nah an der U- und S-Bahn Station liegt. Nettes Personal.

7.5

a good hotel with easy and fast access by metro to the center.

7.9

the hotal is located in a really quiet zone and is really confortable to reach the city centre as the hotel is located only at 3 underground stops from stephansdom platz. Reallynice breakfast

10

A beautiful hotel to stay in.

9.3

Quality/price ratio excellent. Very practically well located near the downtown. I will surely stay in Wilhelmhof again during my next trips to Vienna.

8.5

Very nice property and surroundings. Breakfast could be better. First class attention.

6.9

Le stanze superior sono molto spaziose, ottima e abbondante la colazione

10

this hotel was delightful and everyone was really helpful, efficient, etc. The breakfast was wonderful. Also, public transportation was great and the hotel was surrounded by good local restaurants within a couple of blocks. Loved it!

9.7

Highly recommended!

7.3

Basically a very good hotel. Only criticisms were the lack of cooked options in the breakfast buffet and the area around the hotel - not particularly beautiful and even slightly seedy at night. Otherwise nice. Easy to find, easy connections into the centre and that distance is also walkable.

8.1

Buon albergo per rapporto qualità/prezzo. PRO: Pulito, stanze e letto spaziosi, colazione eccezzionale, internet gratuito in stanza (wireless) e aree pubbliche (adsl). CONTRO: coperta piccola e niente lenzuola, asciugamani piccoli, manca bidet, stanze lato strada rumorose, manca il frigobar in stanza, tv satellitare limitata a canali austriaci e tedeschi.
