I stayed in the Hotel Academia for 5 nights. I was extremely disappointed to see how small a 2 single bedroom was, as my friend and I were very cramped in the room. I walked into my room and there were insects on the wall, however the beds and bathroom seemed very clean besides this one incident. The breakfasts, I... More

We ovecame our fear of the reviews and stayed for 10 nights. We payed £440 including flights from the UK for a hotel that is 4 tram stops from the centre. The room service was every 3 days, but no problem getting towels though you will need shower gel. At reception seek out Stephanie - really helpful. Breakfast is basic... More

My wife and I spent a week in this hotel starting on Aug 27 2011. It is well located; close to the tram that takes you into the old town in a few minutes. It is a large hotel with many floors and has several elevators which is wonderful. The front desk persons were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Internet access... More

Was in Vienna for a conference, stayed for a week. The hotel is 5-10 minutes walk from Volkstheater and Rathaus U-Bahn stations, easily found. Service was very prompt and good. Rooms were clean and basic, with a hot shower. Breakfast was perfectly adequate - cereal, bread, ham & cheese, yoghurt, spreads, hot and cold drinks, (though no real juice, which... More

We had been to Austria last year for 4 days to see around the places there. We booked Hotel ‎‎Academia as it was very cheap. And by the fact we did not have many expectations from the hotel. ‎‎But the hotel lived up to our expectations.‎ The hotel was located quite far from the city centre but there was a... More

If you are expecting to stay in a conventional hotel you will be disappointed. The building is a student hall of residence that is used as a hotel during the holidays. If want accommodation to take you back on a nostalgic trip back to your university days this is the place for you!

Our stay here was very pleasant. the staff were very friendly and aimed to please. The breakfast was nice and the bar opened til late. The room was a little small and the bed was not great, but it was what I expected for the price. It is within walking distance of the main city.

I enjoyed the hotel and the room (although it was small and had no tv). The staff was very nice and helpful. It was well located, with a bus line directly from Sudbanhof, where you drop off from the airport bus. Shopping streets and restaurants nearby. I would definitely stay there if I go back.

Where do I begin? We booked the room with the expectation that it would be small, we didn't realize it would look absolutely NOTHING like the picture. Getting there was only half the battle. Even with a GPS the hotel was very difficult to find and not in a very savory location. The street is covered in graffiti and people... More
