This is probably my 12th or 13th stay at the Aviano. I was not sure the AVIANO could get any better, but this year was different. There are many positive changes that have improved the Aviano.
Under new leadership, the Aviano has been renovated. The first thing I noticed when I arrived at the reception desk was how bright the area is. The fresh pain has really brightened up the entire hotel. From the rooms, to the Hallways, to the Breakfast room, the fresh pain has really brightened up the space.
The Breakfast room has been remolded. The old banquette style seating was removed and replaced with new chairs. The assortment of breakfast items remains amazing. I enjoyed a croissant, scrambled eggs, and small sausages each morning.
Room 413 has been fully renovated. They replaced the old mattress with a new, thicker, more supportive mattress. The old chairs have been replaced with new. The fold-out couch is gone and new couch is in its place. The new fold-out coach is a lot more comfortable than the old one. New carpet and curtains complete the look.
The best part of the renovation is the bathroom. First, the 2 inch step into he bathroom is gone. A new shower has been installed replacing the old shower that you had to step up about 12 inches into. This was a he safety risk that has now been mitigated. The bathroom also has a newly located toilet and sink. The water pressure is great and the water is HOT!
Along with Sonja, there are 2 new staff members who were so helpful. I can't say enough good things about the staff and the renovation.

This is probably my 11th or 12th stay at the Aviano. I come back to Vienna as often as possible and the Aviano is always my first choice. The location is perfect, nestled on a side street off Kartnerstrasse between the Opera House and St. Stephan's Cathedral. Easy access to everything that Vienna has to offer - public transportation, historical sites, shopping, and nature.
We always request the Dom Suite, which is comfortable and spacious. It has a nice view of Kartnerstrasse (and the steeple of St. Stepnan's). Be aware that the hotel does not have air conditioning. However, they provided 2 fans in our room.
Breakfast is available. It is a typical Viennese breakfast with a good selection of meat, cheese, and bread. They also offer eggs and sausages. To drink, you can choose from a selection of juices, coffee, tea, and water. There is something for everyone.
Aside form location and the gracious, knowledgable staff, the Aviano always has hot water and water pressure. I've been to many places where the water is hot for a portion of your shower or the water barely trickles out of the faucet. You will not have to worry about that at the Aviano.
Rooms can be cleaned daily. We typically only have ours cleaned one time in the middle of our stay. The staff respects our choice and allows us to have our privacy.
Although this is not the Ritz, I am treated like royalty at the Aviano. The staff takes pride in their work and does everything they can to make your stay enjoyable. Don't hesitate to ask for help at the reception.
I look forward to my next trip to Vienna and the Aviano Boutique Hotel.

This is my 5th review and my 10th or 11th stay at the Aviano over the years. I keep coming back because this place is the BEST! The location cannot be beat - right off Kartnerstrasse about half way between the Opera House and St. Stephan's Cathedral.
Sonja and the team are very attentive to your needs and are always willing to help. They will do whatever they can to help from booking taxi's to offering suggestions on things to do or places to see.
The Aviano is very clean. From the bathroom, to the floor, to the breakfast room, everything was spotless. They take pride in keeping the Aviano clean and safe for their guests. Also, if you do not want your room tidied up each day, just say so. They will gladly give you the privacy you request. I only asked for clean towels and toilet paper. They honored that request but always offered to clean if I wanted the room cleaned.
The breakfast buffet was available each morning. Fresh croissants, eggs, cheese, meats, juices, and coffee - what a great way to start your morning.
If you made it this far in the review, then quickly book your room. Please remember, this is a boutique hotel. Don't expect the Ritz but you will be treated better than if you were at the Ritz.
This is my favorite hotel in Vienna and I cannot wait to return.

Aviano Boutique Hotel is a Gem, a bright jewel in a beautiful City. On our first visit to Vienna we were given the best room in the house, overlooking the pedestrianised shopping street. We didn’t eat breakfast so our interaction with the management was minimal. The persons we did meet were attentive and helpful. When we come again, maybe in Summer time, it will be a great pleasure to be in a room with windows that open wide, (while at a safe height) Location, at the heart of everything good in a beautiful city and great value for money, will guarantee our return. Thank you Aviano.

What a welcoming place to stay this was! The hotel is in a perfect location as most sights are walkable and public transportation is close by. Our room (302) was decorated so prettily and the mattress was like sleeping on a cloud. Staff was lovely and helpful and prepared delicious breakfast choices for the buffet each morning. We couldn't have been happier with our stay.

If you are looking for a classic design room in a family run boutique hotel right on the edge of the central zone walking district then this is for you. The room & beds were pretty & comfortable. Despite our room being right across from the breakfast room, it was quiet. A little noise from the street but it died down early & windows closed were OK. Breakfast in the morning was in a sunny room with a balcony as well. There was the usual full Europe spread with scrambled eggs, bacon & sausage. The hotel is the 2 upper floors so the entrance is barely noticeable locked door with a buzzer next to a champagne bar - the front does have a Aviano Hotel sign. Inside there are 5 steps up & then a lift the rest of the way. If coming by taxi best to say the Ambassador Hotel & you'll be let out a very short 75 steps from this hotel's door. Being just in the walking zone, if you just say Aviano you might get let off several blocks on the other side of the zone instead. This is a friendly place in a great location run by nice people. I would gladly stay here again - in fact I did when I came back through a few weeks later.

The hotel posted on the website (unbeknownst to us) that it was closed for renovations from 15.2.24 - 31.5.24. If we were informed of this closure we could have easily made alternative hotel reservations.
28.5.24 We were informed that Hotel Aviano would be unable to provide accommodation due to construction, however you did offer to find an alternative hotel without a guarantee and suggested we could find our own hotel. Two days before arrival!
29.5.24 Arrival scheduled for the following day, as we were feeling time pressure, and no confirmed hotel we booked a room at Hotel Zur Wiener Staatsoper. Your staff contacted us later in the day with an alternative but we had already gone ahead with the booking - again as we felt we needed to have something in place.
We asked for Hotel Aviano to cover the higher cost of the day before room booking and were refused. Draw your own conclusions as to whom you want to deal with.

Werter Gast, wir bedauern, dass Ihnen die Abläufe und Umstände solche Probleme bereitet haben. Ich möchte hier nur gerne einige Fakten richtig stellen: Wir haben Ihnen frei gestellt, ob Sie selber einen Ersatz suchen wollen oder ob wir das machen sollen. Wir haben Ihnen sehr wohl ein Ersatzquartier angeboten im Palais Hotel Pertschy zu einem ähnlichen Preis. Da Sie aber nicht warten wollten, haben Sie sofort selbst eine andere Unterkunft gesucht. Nachdem Sie uns dies mitgeteilt haben, haben wir die Buchung im Pertschy wieder storniert. Einige Tage nach Ihrem Aufenthalt haben Sie uns dann eine Email zukommen lassen, in welcher Sie um einen Kostenersatz fragen, das das von Ihnen ausgewählte Hotel um mehr als 50% teurer war. Leider haben Sie dies vorab mit uns nicht abgeklärt, daher haben wir auch keine Kosten übernommen. Wir haben auch für andere Gäste die davon betroffen waren ein Ersatzquartier gebucht - zu deren Zufriedenheit. Wir bedauern, dass es in Ihren Fall leider nicht zu Ihrer Zufriedenheit war.

This is a small hotel, more a pension, perhaps. The room was comfortable, while it seemed noisy when the windows were open, when closed it was very quiet. There is a lift. The staff at Reception were very helpful. There was a good selection at breakfast. We did not avail of the mini bar. Only soap cum shampoo is provided. Bring your own shower cap etc. The really good thing about this place is that it is very central, we walked to most attractions.

Great location in within the ring / old city center. Just steps from the loud street, but 5 stories up, so didn't have any issue with noise. Very good bfast, very friendly owners. They even saw how tall I am (6'4") and gave us a slightly bigger room because it had a longer bed without a footboard. Very accomodating, would recommend this place!

Let's start from the staff. The lady in the reception is very kind, helpful and polite, i could say that she's very good at welcoming the guests and making them feel at home.
Rooms are spacious and very warm, big and quiet. Comfortable beds, and you can handle the heating by yourself, as you want. Perfect location to explore the city. Breakfast under payment as an extra.
I was glad to see and confirmed that during my stay they started some renovations in some of the rooms, about equipment, etc. I was happily surprised overall and will be back again when visiting Vienna.

It is very easy to get from the Wien HBF train station to the Pesion Aviano hotel by taking the U1 subway line. Get off at the Stephanplatz station and from there it is a straight 4 minute walk on Karntnerstrasse to the hotel. When you come out of he station walk on Karnterstrasse toward the Opera House. The hotel will be on your right hand side before you reach the Opera House. Karnterstrasse is a pedestrian street and very walkable. The underground stations usually have escalators and elevators so traveling with a suitcase is not a problem. Cost of the one way ticket will be between 2-3 Euros. You can also take a taxi but that can become expensive depending on traffic.
"For those with mobility issues, there are a few steps to the elevator that goes to reception and to the rooms, and there is a step up into the shower but it wasn't a problem."
There are more places to choose from in the Vienna area.
