The front desk staff Julia and Messadi were super friendly and spent time speaking with me and helping me improve on my one week Duolingo German! They were super welcoming towards my daughter and me - however I never received that complimentary drink that Expedia told me I would have. Cleaning staff would come in to clean, but the first time, one left the bag they cleaned full of trash, on the dresser chair and the second time in the week, toppled my premium skincare bottles with the product flowing down the side of the sink. Body soap, toilet paper and facial tissues were not refilled even though they cleaned my room unless I told front desk what I required. There was no available - do not disturb sign for me to reject or be notified of cleaning. Pillows were flat and lumpy and yellow on the inside. I had to request for two extra pillows from Julia and the blankets did not sit well inside the duvet cover. When I sat down on the bed it made a squeak like an air mattress. I’m a deep sleeper, but I would be woken up by drunk people in the middle of the night shouting at the top of their lungs and the clacking of their heels. Two nights in a row. It’s no wonder the front door is locked with a code after midnight. Breakfast had a variety of cereal, rolls, eggs, sausages, bacon, fruit and cold cuts. The coffee had to be ordered by the breakfast staff. All in all - the front desk is a lifesaver for this hotel and the location that it is truly 5 mins to the Stephanplatz ubahn

The hotel was very conveniently located near enough to the tourist attractions to be easy to walk to (close to Stephan's cathedral and the subway there), but far enough away to be quiet and away from the buzz. However, the hotel had a weird smell in the lobby area, which didn't translate to the rooms. We didn't eat the breakfast. The staff was very helpful and arranged our transfer to the airport.

Nice quiet area, staff was great and very helpful. Hotel was near great authentic dining, shopping, and major attractions. Drawbacks were the soft, lumpy beds. Europe is known for its firm mattresses and ours was far from it. Recommend new mattresses, woke with back muscle soreness attributed to sleeping on their mattress 3 days in a row. Breakfast was $20 per person and was decent. Would not stay here again unless they replaced their mattresses. Request a street view, inside view lacked appeal.

No kettle in the room for tea... not everyone drinks coffee. For a recently refurbished hotel, shower wasn't great, wash basin leaked all over the bathroom floor, room safe was unserviceable, took four days to sort it. Staff were great, helpful & friendly.

Friendly staff. The manager has gone above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The AC was broken and he provided us portable AC's until it was fixed the following day. The front desk and the kitchen/dining staff were very nice and made way to accommodate our breakfast requests.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Elaya in Vienna city center. Waking up and walking right around the corner to St. Stephen's cathedral was a prime location. The price was competitive and fair. Very modern and beautiful accommodation. We were concerned before our stay with some of the reviews commenting on the AC not being reliable or working, when we got to our room it did seem stuffy but the front desk staff came up right away to make sure it was functioning correctly, cleaned the filter, and gave us a fan (which we never ended up needing). So we were very comfortable during our stay. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone going to Vienna!
