Quite a nice hotel in a great location with a bagfull of character. Do not expect old splendor, but the kind of furniture your conservative grandmother might have had. Old, modest, but in a strange way very Viennese. My room was quite large and very clean, but (business travellers beware) no work desk (coffee table, two plush armchairs, small TV).... more

I reserved a non-smoking, courtyard room. #1. There is no such thing as a dedicate Non-Smoking room at this hotel. The manger told me that the chambermaid simply airs out the rooms in hopes of getting rid of the stench. Considering the fact that most europeans smoke like chimneys the chances of getting a clean smelling room is remote. I... more

We (couple and two teenagers, and a family friend) stayed at the Hotel Kartnerhof for four days. Excellent, quiet location, walking distance to many of the wonderful attractions Vienna offers. Super value for area. Helpful staff (we especially appreciated the excellent English). Nice business area. Our room had a double bed and a fold out sofabed--surprisingly comfortable. It offered a... more

Stayed two nights here in order to see a Euro2008 semifinal. Late booking so choices in Vienna were few and far between. Took a double room for single use - rate was euros194 per night, way over the odds for what I got, even by Vienna rates. Big plus for the hotel is the location in a side street dead-end... more

Old world charm in a very quiet location near to everything. Had a double room on the first floor at the back and it was very quiet (as we had requested), nice decor, super clean and comfortable. Bathroom quite small but contained everything we needed, even a hair dryer. Breakfast is great with good coffee and plenty of other items... more

Unbeatable price for its great location! It's right in the center but off the main streets so you can experience both "touristic" Vienna and "The Third Man" Vienna. Efficient and professional staffs, small but decent room, charming "old school" elevator, good and hearty breakfast buffet (tables with thick white tablecloth), very quick responses to email inquiries, free internet access. I... more

The Hotel Kartnerhof is a great place to stay! The location was blocks away from public transportation. The only problem we encountered was finding the hotel from the bus (airport bus). Our room was huge and we had a bathtub with shower. Blow dryers are kept at the front desk. The design of the room was very old European. The... more

The Karntnerhof at Grashofgasse 4 in the heart of old Vienna is a gem that I hate to share! The manager, Herr Kastner, and accomodating colleagues/staff are superb in every way possible. They take care of the expected - maps, local info, concert tickets, taxis, etc., but also will have a staffer drive with you to place your car in... more

When booking this room, my husband and I (in our 50"s,) had asked for a "room with a view", which we discovered upon arrival, unfortunately involved facing the front street. As noted in other reviews here, this meant enduring the noise from the outdoor patio of the restaurant in the adjoinng building. There was no air-conditoning available so the windows... more
