Arriving at Wien Mitte station is easy from the airport; take a no. 0 tram towards the Prater for a two or three-stop ride and there you are: brightly coloured and so well located just outside the Ringstrasse. Arriving at the Urania is like starting a new adventure in Viennese old-world style, from the caged birds tweeting merrily to the... More

The hotel is in quite a good location, especially if you arrive to Praterstern station (approx. 10 minutes walk). Rooms offered at a basic level are small, with elemental equipment (e.g. the shower corner has no curtain. It was impossible to turn the heating down so it was really hot there unless I opened windows. The room seemed not to... More

The bright blue exterior is hard-to-miss but in a good way. The hotel is in a great but quiet location, only 10-15 min walk from Wien Mitte station and there are a few trams that take you into the city centre. The staff were friendly, the decor is amusing and 'different', the choice of breakfast is generous and varied (though... More

The hotel was close to tram station. 10 minutes in tram from mainline rail station in 'Prater'. Or 10 minutes by tram from Wien Mitte metro/rail station. If you like to walk then , it was about 20 minutes from the Wien Mitte. The room that we occupied was big with ample space for another single bed, should you needed... More

We checked in late 27th oct and afternoon the 28th we found bedbugs in one of the bed. Hotel owner was not helpful at all when we showed him the bedbugs we found in the bed. He said we could find another hotel in Vienna if we were not satisfied. We changed hotel imedeatly of course. KEEP OUT!

It was a bit noisy at night and in the morning when staying in a room with windows (open) towards the street. The staff seemed alright and there were many older travellers staying there.

Stayed at this hotel last week and greatly enjoyed the beautiful foyer, helpful staff, gorgeous room, and delicious breakfast! As well, the hotel is only a few blocks from popular sites, but is located in a quiet neighborhood near the river! Would love to stay here again and would reccommend it to anyone visiting Vienna!

At best, lodging here is like staying with your batty, old Austrian grandmother. Though I am generally inclined to like such quirky places, it was the hotel's unacceptable hygiene and extortionary rates (which a local said were available by the hour) that drove us to find alternative lodgings for the remainder of our stay in Vienna. My first ten minutes... More
