I recently spent a week here on a visit to Vienna with my family. I have to say that I have stayed in some 5 star hotels in the past and didn't have the same positive experience we had here. Firstly, the location is outstanding in terms of walking access to the old town of Vienna, you are minutes away... More

Very nice hotel, great location, just minutes walk from the city center, attractions and underground station. The street the hotel is on is also very nice. We had a lovely room with a balcony. The food at the breakfast was excellent as well and staff is very attentive and helpful. Would definitely go there again.

Excellent location just a short walk from Schwedenplats and the underground station. Food store next door. Stayed in a spacious superior room (nr 211) on the second floor facing the back. So quiet we could have the windows open to get fresh air. Had an armchair, sofa and small coffee table. Nice bathroom with bathtub and large bath towels.Well stocked... More

Old style hotel very near the city center just across the Donaukanal. Very friendly staff, somewhat old fashioned but nice rooms and an extensive breakfast buffet with something for everyone's taste. Definitely a place to check out when you are consering Vienna for a reasonable budget.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel City Central. The staff were extremely helpful and accomodating, and the location was excellent, if not right in the historic city center. It's a quick walk across the river to the main shopping areas, and the hotel is well-served by public transportation. The hotel is very clean and tidy, with nice vintage furniture,... More
