Great hotel in the heart of Vienna!
Excellent hotel and location. There was construction going on on the street in front but they sent us a note ahead of time explaining this. Very attentive. Amazing value!

The property was clean and maintained well. However the staff were not friendly or nice. Few were rude and walking by us without even greeting. Some were arguing right at the front desk with each other. I did not like this. The hotel did not give us any grace time (we wanted couple of hours) to do the checkout and because of that we had to check out pretty early at 8 AM before we left to see the attractions.

DEFINITELY A MUST STAY HOTEL! Larissa!!! From the moment we arrived at the reception, tired & jet-lagged, she welcomed us & made us feel right at home at this beautiful hotel. After we left our bags in our WONDERFUL room (fabulous air conditioning), Larissa showed us where to get a FANTASTIC lunch. She gave us an overview of Vienna which we followed the whole time we were there (almost one week). Every time we saw her in the hotel, she remembered us & helped with any questions. Larissa is outstanding in every way & made our stay here the best from the moment we arrived. The entire staff in the kitchen (breakfast) & reception/bar was friendly and helpful. The daily breakfast at the Josefhofs was outstanding; incredible variety & new items each day so that we still ate our favorite things but got to try new things as well. Gorgeous interior courtyard to eat our breakfast, or inside seating area if preferred. Very cool bar/eatery inside the hotel from noon (when breakfast ends) until the wee hours of the morning. Very quiet for agreat nights sleep every night. Great bed & bathroom/shower. Free drinks at the bar downstairs (1 per person) for every day you choose not to have the room cleaned. Great location; 5 minute walk to the metro (easy metro system), less than 5 minute walk to city area, 15-20 minute walk to the cathedral with city streets, shops, cafes, restaurants all along the way (all is so close by including a great grocery store). We WILL stay here next time!

Very courteous and friendly welcome and room was ready a few hours earlier than expected. Clean and quiet hotel near to the Austrian Parliament area. Nearby is cafes, restaurants and shops plus public transport… ideal. The hotel staff aren’t that great about servicing the room re towels, clean cups, teabags, making the beds, etc. We had to ask for fresh towels on 3 occasions, only once were they brought to our room. The other times we went to reception, on one occasion I was handed 2 white towels which were actually floor mats! I had to force the matter to ask for bath towels. Housekeeping was the main let down.

Lovely hotel, staff were friendly and I felt very safe as a solo female traveler. Good breakfast options and a pretty outside courtyard. I accidentally left my ring in the room after check out, which was found by cleaning staff after my stay. the hotel staff were amazing going above and beyond to get the ring back to me. I will be forever thankful. I highly recommend this hotel and will be back to stay any time I’m in Vienna.

We loved our stay in Vienna at the hotel. Very easy to get into the centre of the city and take advantage of the excellent public transport as very near a tram stop. Within an easy walk of the amazing architecture. The staff were great, the room was smart and clean with great aircon and a good maid service. Our only criticism would be the bedding. Very thin sheets and pillowcases with extremely worn pillows especially that were well past their best, all without protectors on the mattress and the afore-mentioned pillows. For the class of hotel and the overall class and quality, we felt this element let them down a bit. Overall though, a super stay.
