Grand Hotel Wien: A GRAND HOTEL...WITH A IMPRESSIVE XMAS TREE TOO!    Check Rates

    • Size IS everything! - Vienna
    Size IS everything!
    by themajor
    Here we have another splendid establishment. One of those hotels where you get a thrill simply by going in and out. It has a splendidly impressive foyer, a surprisingly affordable and delightful bar/café, and public toilets that must rate amongst the very best in Vienna. No, really. You feel honoured end pampered each time you wash your hands! It's hard to do 'em justice but I wouldn't be surprised if they were originally designed as a mausoleum for a wealthy plumber. Sadly, I cannot speak for the 'Ladies' but I look forward to your reports...

    I did enquire about staying here at one point but paused for thought when I realised that the additional charge for breakfast (£20 +) was approaching the sort of money one might pay for a nice lunch. A room alone will cost a minimum of £250 so you have to be either very wealthy...wealthy...or living off your expense accounts to consider staying here. As befits a Japanese owned property it does boast an excellent Japanese restaurant.

    One could criticise by saying that the hotel is perhaps caverous rather than cosy in feel but at Christmas this is used to advantage when it has a fir ree that literally reaches up to the first floor gallery and beyond. Quite beautiful.

    I know people who have stayed here, enjoyed it - not worrying about the cost helps! - but why not sample the Grand's style rather more cheaply but opting for the light lunch and a trip to those luxurious loos?!

    Good location - GRAND Christmas tree!

    • The König at Christmas - Vienna
    The König at Christmas
    by themajor
    The KVU claims to be Vienna's oldest hotel...but worry not, that's 'old' as in ancient and dignified rather than crumbly and careworn! The building is some 300 years old and its enjoyed life as an hostelry since 1815. With only 33 rooms and no sign of a swimming pool, health club or whizzo internet suite, it is - as they say - small but perfectly formed. At a price considerably less than the more opulent Imperial or Sacher, the KVU provides a more personal feel for those who appreciate it. For example, when I was unable to identify a piece of music I heard playing on my radio at 11.40pm, the front desk duly tuned in, identified the station and telephoned them for the details of the artist and track they's been playing...and, by jove, I now have the Herbert Gronemeyer CD to prove it!

    The restaurant has an excellent reputation and the bar in the atrium serves coffees, snacks and non-alcoholic cocktails along with more alcoholic attractions. Buffet breakfasts are splendid...and you know, you really should 'go continental' with delicious meats, breads cheeses and gugelhupf (a suitable cake for brekky!) rather than going for the old bacon/ham and eggs!

    We had a different splendid family apartment for each of our two trips to the KVU. Super bathroom, lovely bedrooms - though it was one of our children who got the canopied single bed! I was almost tempted to give up the missus and the double! Handmade choclates magically appeared in our room each evening too.

    One thing you can't beat is the hotel's location. A stone's throw from St Stephen's cathedral, two minutes stroll (literally) from a major underground station, adjacent to Vienna's swishest shopping streets and yet it still boasts a pretty quiet location. I wouldn't have gone back if it wasn't a lovely place to stay! Worth treating yourself and it's not featured in brochures yet!

    Traditional style and elegance - small but delightful - almost impossible to get lost,(just scour the skyline for the cathedral spire and head towards it! ) - unbeatable location!

    Hotel Imperial: ARGUABLY THE 'BEST' BUT IS IT THE 'NICEST'?    Check Rates

    • MAKING AN ENTRANCE... - Vienna
    MAKING AN ENTRANCE...
    by themajor
    If you ask anyone in Vienna to name the best hotel in the city, you are more than likely to hear two names proferred; and although the Sacher will almost certainly get a mention it'll be the Imperial that ultimately rules the roost. For it's position on the Ringstrasse is matched only by it's position in high society. If you're a Head of State, Chairman of the Board or Top of the Pops then the Imperial will be where you'll book a suite.

    Why do people love it? Because it's grand, magnificent, snobbish, ostentatious. Why do some people hate it? Because it's grand, magnificent etc etc. Basically if you want old world charm on a grand scale and a doorman who will run towards you with an umbrella if it rains then this is for you. Low key and cosy..then probably not! Of course this does come at a price, and not a price all of us can afford! However if you are celebrating a Golden Anniversary or embarking upon a delightfully Dangerous Liason it will undoubtedly be worth the money. Then again, if you pop into their cafe for a coffee and a slice of the delightful Imperial torte, it does work out slightly cheaper...just!

    Imperiously Imperial! A palace that became an hotel. The perfect antidote to baseball cap hell!!

    Pension Dr. Geissler: a good place for VTers & globetrotters    Check Rates

    Pension Dr.Geissler
    by globetrott, 4 more photos
    Pension Dr. Geissler is a 3star-pension in the very centre of Vienna, just about 200 meters from Schwedenplatz or from Stephansdom. See their web-page, it has the same management as Pension Neuer Markt. Something quite interesting for VT-members & VT-meetings might be the fact, that appartments with a total of 5 beds in different rooms are available for reasonable prices.
    I used to work in this hotel until some time ago,
    BUT that is "history" now !

    When reserving a room in Pension Dr.Geissler you will have to give your Creditcard-number + and expiration-date, (that has to be still valid when you arrive). These numbers will be olny CHECKED electronically and will be used ONLY to reserve the room. Money will be DEDUCTED from your creditcard JUST IN CASE that you will not arrive - so they NEVER deduct anything before the reserved date of arrival !!
    I think this is a really good system for the hotel & the customers !!
    --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
    This Pension is perfect, when you arrive by train or plane:
    the hotel-bus will meet you for 10 Euros at the airport
    for 7 Euros at the train-stations of Vienna -
    you simply have to book it when reserving the room !
    When you stay at least 7 days - the pick-up is free !!
    In Vienna's centre parking-charges will apply
    Monday till Friday between 09.00a.m. and 10.00p.m.
    in the centre of Vienna, when you arrive by car,
    and so the reception will help you to find a good parking for you:
    there is a limited number of day-tickets for parking in the centre, it is just 4,60 Euros per day, BUT you have to find a free parking-lot on your own...
    Parking at various garages is available at the reception
    for prices between 11 and 14 Euros a day !
    When arriving at Schwedenplatz and turning right into Postgasse, be carefull, not to collide with the tram, you will have to cross its rails of both directions, so watch out for them, when entering Postgasse.
    Tram ALWAYS goes first in Vienna !!

    On both my visits to Vienna I stayed in the family run Hotel Kolbeck. The hotel is located in a building from 1848 and offers various room categories for affordable prices. Included in the price is a buffet style breakfast and free internet access.
    What I like about the hotel is its location near the South Station (Sudbahnhof) which offers great possibilities for day trips to Bratislava or with the Semmering Railway.

    Hotel Astoria - Austria Trend: FADED GRANDEUR - BUT STILL WORTH A LOOK?    Check Rates

    • themajor
  • Updated By themajor on April 23, 2005
    • It's been a litle while now since I stayed at the Astoria but I'm pretty sure that my feelings about the place are still relevant. The situation of the hotel is splendidly central, 'though being smack on top of Karntnerstrasse is perhaps a little too much of a good thing when you want your window open in Summer and there are bustling crowds just below.

    Two words would sum up the Astoria for me 'faded grandeur'. She is a splendid old dame starting to show her age. The reception area is rather lovely and comes as a nice surprise after the low key entrance to the hotel. My bedroom was large but not especially well appointed, and looking a little, 'er, jaded.

    Breakfasts were good and the breakfast room itself is attractively sat out in traditional style. The bar used to serve immense jugs of hot chocolate and cream in the evening - some of the best I'd tasted and a marvellous non-alcoholic pick-me-up after a hard days walking (the fact that I'd already consumed at least three cups during the day is neither here nor there!).

    So to sum up - pretty good but arguably not as good as it should be or thinks it is! In need of some tlc...but by the time you read this, it might be getting it?

    K+K Hotel Maria Theresia: A GOOD HOTEL - SPOT ON FOR SPITTELBERG!    Check Rates

    • A cut above the normal tourist class hotel in Vienna, the K&KMT has a modern interior and is great value for money. Although not dead centre, it is well situated a short walk from the Inner Ring, just behind the Natural History museum and Museums Quartier. With nice clean and comfortable rooms, lovely buffet breakfast and a bar ( 'er...not for breakfast though! ), It's in a pleasant part of the city and well situated for Christmas travellers who want to fall out of bed and head for the Spittelburg Market - which is, in my opinion is one of the very nicest. Plenty of tram/underground stops nearby for those wishing to go further afield.

    The lack of a restaurant might prove a bit of a bind for those disinclined to go walking at night but the bar does serve hot snacks. In any case there are plenty of decent places where you can dine nearby. All in all a good choice in the middle range, and in the past there have been occasional 4 for 3 nights type bargains to be had! A good safe choice.

    Le Meridien Wien: VIENNA'S HOTTEST HOTEL...FOR NOW!    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
    • themajor
  • Updated By themajor on April 27, 2005
    • Well, let me be honest from the outset. Although I've stayed at all of the hotels mentioned to date, I have yet to stay at Le Meridien. I've looked at it, been in it, listened to those who've stayed in it and, yes, I think I can offer an opinion worth reading.

    Firstly it looks marvellously stylish - hardly surprising because this hotel was specifically created to appeal to those who worship at the altar of the modern and stylish... some might find it's efforts to do so a little overpowering but you can't deny that looks splendid? Le Meridien is 'hot' because it is hardly a year old, the management are obviously trying very hard to please and it's currently 'cool' to stay there. Restaurant, gym, swimming pool, internet..it's all here. The hotel is situated a stones throw from the Opera on the Opernring itself - a good central location with the tram and underground system literally outside the front door.

    People who've stayed there are full of praise but there seems to be a little problem with the design of the showers...apparently they look wonderful but are inclined to flood into your room unless barricaded with towels...oh, and the glass fronted toilets aren't to everyones taste! I was also intrigued to hear that people also enthuse about the giant plasma screen televisions in the rooms. Perhaps it's me but I thought one travelled to see the world not watch television in it?

    For all that, Le Meridien is on a roll! I think you'd be hard pushed not to enjoy your stay there but it's not perhaps a choice for those who enjoy their comforts in more traditional surroundings. For those people, hotels like the Imperial, Sacher and Konig von Ungarn will still remain a better bet.

    Modern and chic...but there are still deals to be had!

    Hotel Roemischer Kaiser is in the very centre of Vienna, just a few meters from Kaerntner Strasse with the Opera and St.Stephens cathedral.

    NOT at all a cheap place , BUT a perfect hotel inside a historic building.
    Have a look at the link below !

    This great , traditional hotel is the perfect place to stay, when you like to go to the opera or the nearby Casino, to Musikvereinssaal or Kuenstlerhaus etc.

    Annagasse is pedestrian zone and in front of the hotel you even have a small garden-restaurant.
