Hotels near Haus des Meeres, Vienna

First time for me in a Hostel and these guys made sure my experience was memorable. They were very welcoming and always smiling. The rooms were very clean, beds very comfortable. The lounge area had a lot of chill spots, a pool table, a fussball table. At the bar I asked the bartender to make me a cocktail that was not on the menu and he was more than happy to do so. I really appreciated that! The metro station is right downstairs, and you have 5 stations to get to the city center, which is really helpful because in the center of the city are all the tourist attractions except Schonbrun. They have breakfast every morning and you can choose to pay 7 euros to eat. Or not. Not the best breakfast I've had but it does the job. Also, another con would be that there is no other piece of furniture in the room other then the beds. I found myself needing a chair or a small table lots of times. Overall an awesome stay! Would totally recommend! I will definitely come back!

Mixed bag here. The hotel is walking distance to the Stadthalle, our main reason for booking. Lots of transport links around. Many Ubers and bolts, and about 30/40 minutes to the airport via taxi. Room size was adequate, with a mini fridge, which was unplugged with food and drink inside. It didn't really cool well, when we managed to plug it in. The beds were comfy. The room had tea and coffee making facilities, but no milk. Room had electric blinds which were cool, and room was good and dark when the curtains were closed. Breakfast was ok, pretty standard, nothing special. But still good to start the day with. Rooms on the street side are very very noisy. The hotel is near a shopping mall, so deliveries 5am-10am every morning. Vehicles lloading, banging, noise, men shouting, doors slamming etc. But not really the hotel's fault. At night people smoke outside. So you can't really open windows overnight if you want a decent night's sleep. The room got very stuffy and no real aircon. The cleaning staff start very early, around 9am, so again prospect of good sleep is hit and miss, but they are very friendly and polite. Room generally clean, but there were hairs in the sink and shower. Also hairs on the supposedly clean towels. Staff mostly friendly and accommodating. However, the price of drinks seemed to change every round, (normally increasing). There was one member of staff who had the most appalling attitude. On our last night the shower flooded badly, into the hallway of our room. We couldn't shower or use the toilet. We phoned reception. The staff member claimed he didnt understand what bathroom is flooded means. After 5 attempts at explaining. He said he would send a colleague up. Surprise! Surprise! No one came. We needed sleep due to early flight the next day. We went down to reception, we were ignored, treated with contempt, eye rolls, and he told us he couldn't help, he said he was on his own. So sending someone was a LIE!? He was at the bar pouring drinks slowly, while looking at us blankly and rolling his eyes. He demanded we take a seat, no apologies, no offer of a solution. Basically appalling customer service and no communication. He was quick to check in guests that came to reception, inbetween pouring drinks deliberately slowly to avoid us. The only thing he said was he was on his own and there were no spare rooms. Eventually, he came to our room and saw the problem. With a bad attitude he did try to unblock the drain to no avail. We were lucky enough to have him mop up the floor and give us more towels, upon us asking, no offer. The staff in the morning when we checked out were apologetic when we told them, which we appreciated, and did make us nice coffee's to go. Unfortunately it doesn't take the bad taste away, and we had a poor night's sleep as a result of the stress. No one deserves contempt, utter rudeness and unhelpfulness as a paying guest, especially when we should have been resting, ready for flying

The location of the hotel is very good, diagonally opposite to the State Opera House, about 400 meters walk to the Golden Hall, close to the Mozart Cafe, the transportation is very convenient, about 100 meters to the subway station, the price is also good 👍 service attitude is very good 👍 If I have the opportunity to go again, I will choose this hotel

Hotel is next to the Vienna main station, many restaurants are inside the station so the location is good. But you can hear the noise next to your room easily. Still recommend it

Great location. Literally less than 2 mins walk from the hotel to Wien’s main/central train station. Excellent services and super friendly and helpful staff. Stayed here for three nights and no problems with everything at the hotel.

I stayed in this hotel with my family during the Easter break. The hotel is located 20 mins from the city centre but there is a tram station close to the hotel. The room is poorly lit and provide only thick blanket with no extra pillows. The hotel mentions air-conditioning in the description but they provide AC only during June to September. I believe they should have mentioned it clearly upfront. The hotel is on the busy street and so it was not possible to keep the window open during night time as we were initially given a room on the lower floor. We felt quite hot in the room and Beatrice the staff moved us to the higher floor next day where it was possible to keep the window s open without the noise. Overall it was pretty average and didn't feel like a 4 star property and the price we paid. I would have given it 2/5 but the extra 1 is only for Beatrice who helped us with the room.

J'ai eu une mauvaise expérience avec cet hotel qui préfère ne pas embaucher des personnes pour faire le check in et de mettre une automate et une ligne help desk à la place. Puisque j'ai réservée via opodo j'ai pas eu le numéro de réservation de l'hotel que je dois introduire dans l'automate pour faire le checkin. Donc je me trouve bloquée avec ma famille. J'ai appelé le monsieur du help desk il m'a dit qu'il connait pas opodo et que je dois les appeler pour me donner le numéro. J'appelle opodo ils n'ont pas non plus le numéro. Le mr du help desk refuse de me fournir le numérp pour faire le check in et après plusieurs tentatives avec lui il m'a demander de lui transférer mon email de confirmation de la réservation pour vérifier. Finalement il m'a laissé entrer et faire le check in. L'apart est grand mais sale. Il n'y a pas de service de nettoyage comme pour d'autres hôtel apart. L'emplacement est excellent , à proximité des commerces, gares , arrets de tram/metro ...

I had a very nice welcome. I was allowed to bring my bike to the room. The room was really spacious and very nice breakfast buffet! Coffee machines were inefficient though :( I appreciated the quite area. Different kind of public transportation is still very close :)

We arrived in this facility with the taxi taken at Vienna Airport, we paid €62 in 4 since the hotel is 26 km away. As soon as we entered, we were welcomed despite being very late, entered into the room we found a very comfortable, minimal but very nice room. The next morning we asked for information for the Vienna centre and the boy at the reception showed and marked on the package. The hotel is close to the metro, has a penny supermarket, a tobacco store and a pharmacy next door. Super comfortable beds, excellent daily cleaning, air conditioned in the room.

This is the ONE property my sons and I stayed at that wasn't found from Rick Steve's guide books. It was a fairly last-minute booking found through google maps and chosen due to location and price. What I liked best: the beds! We had a triple and my single bed was the softest bed in 10 hotels for 18 nights. Second best: the breakfast was amazing. Half the breakfasts I added upon check-in as European hotel breakfasts fast became my sons' favorite meal. Third best: the front desk staff were extra helpful. They answered all my questions and gave me good advice on travel to the stadium. I needed an unrelated reservation printed out and they did it quickly and didn't charge me - I don't think. Haivng worked in the hotel industry for 6 years, I know many hotels would have charged for this service. LOCATION: The hotel was close to Ernst-Happel Stadium with a train/tram stop right outside the hotel. We took the 25 train/tram, walked maybe 2 mintues to the U2 u-bahn station and the U2 took us right to the stadium. APPEARANCE: The outward appearance of the hotel was the one detractor and the reason I almost didn't book it. It's a large white square with a blue horizontal painted line across and to be blunt, it looks sketchy. But the lobby area inside is nice and the dinning area decor was downright elegant. And while our triple room looked straight out of the 70's, the bed was comfortable and the room satisfied our needs - a quiet place to stay.
