“Great breakfast, poorly lit rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

This hotel is in a good location; very close to shopping and restaurants. The breakfast buffet is amazing. There are so many choices and the coffee is marvelous. The draw back comes when you get to your room. It's dark and dreary. None of the bulbs have high wattage. They want to conserve energy but really?! My room faced another building so I got very little light. It had a negative impact on me as the room was quite depressing. The fact that the room was also very, very small didn't help. It just felt dreary and depressing. I took every opportunity I could to stay out of it. At least the buffet was delicious. I will never stay there again.

Dear R C,

Thank you for informing us about your experience.

With pleasure we read that you were very satisfied with the hotel location and the breakfast buffet.

We regret that you were disappointed about your room that simply did not fulfill your expectations. We offer different room categories and would be pleased to advice you at the time of your next booking.

Your critic regarding the darkness of the room has been noticed and we thank you for steering our attention to this matter. The lightness of the chosen bulbs will be controlled by our technician.

We hope you will give us a further opportunity to convince you and would therefore be pleased to welcome you back in future.

In the meantime, we remain,

with best regards from Vienna

“Pleasant hotel, with good location and good facilities.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

Stayed here as part of a tour group just before Xmas 2012. Centrally located, meaning easy walk to old city centre across canal. Hotel had good restaurant and great breakfast. Not your typical big name Hotel, but very warm and cosy, with an old wold charm that enhanced our stay. Staff pleasant and courteous enough.

“Very Central to almost everything.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

We found this hotel very central to almost everything we wanted, the hotel itself is quite comfortable, good food great staff. Only one complaint as we visited in December they had the central heating up to high and the controls didn't seem to work, so we opened the window.

“True Viennese style”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

We stayed at Hotel Stefanie earlier this month for 3 days during our trip to Vienna. The location is excellent, breakfast sumptuous and within close proximity to the U-bahn and sights if you're up to walking. The tram station is right next to the hotel as well. From staff to the facilities everything is very good. The hotel is highly recommended and I'd love to stay here again.
