It's a small and sweet hotel and with a beautiful story. Family Tomek runs this hotel for 40 years!(I enjoyed listening to their history) In the beginning of my 5-day stay, I lived in a single room (65 Euro), but the heater of hot-water didn't work, then the following days, they change a big (double/triple) room for me (with the...

A conference host in Vienna found us this hotel when we stressed that we needed something reasonable. We moved from a slick, modern hotel to the Hotel Schwalbe for a two-night stay. It is about an eight-minute walk from the Ottakring metro station, in a primarily residential neighborhood. It is an authentic old Viennese hotel, with all the amenities of... More

A short walk from the end of the metro line in a quiet residential area. The hotel is easy to find and close to a few local bars and restaurants. Nice bedroom and batyroom,comfortable and spotlessly clean. Free wi-fi. Good breakfast choice with an offer of cooked eggs. A quirky but clean breakfast room. A good find! More

The room I stayed in this hotel is huge, nice and clean. Breakfast was very good. The hotel is not really close to the main touristic spots, but you can reach them by metro easily after a few minutes. More

This small privately run hotel has been in the same family for 100 years. It is very clean, nice rooms, free wifi. When I checked in Patricia (one of the owners) was out but a very pleasant only German speaking lady checked me in and showed me my room, we managed even with a language barrier. Rooms have mini bar... More

this hotel looks great from the outside , however, the breakfast room looks like a junk shop. the staff were very unfriendly , we were charged 20 euro for an extra breakfast. the hotel is far from the city, it is the last stop on the rail. More

The hotel is not central in Vienna, but thanks to the public transport, the best I have ever seen in the world, you can be at the Stephansplatz in 20 minutes. Basically it is a 10 minute walk to the U-Bahn station Ottakring or a 5 minute walk to the tram that will take you to the Museumsquartier or to... More

I highly recommend staying at HOtel Schwalbe. It's located outside the city center in a quiet, residential area that appears to be very safe. The metro is less than a 10 minute walk away from the hotel (very easy to find) and the metro ride is about 10 minutes into the city center (inner stadt). The hotel itself is extremely... More

The area around this hotel is very quiet and seemed quite safe for walking at night and for leaving a car parked all day (there were lots of nice cars parked in the neighborhood and plenty of available parking places). The U3 is a very short walk from the hotel and will get you to the Center in about 12... More

The room was bright and cheerful. Mine was a single, but I caught a glimpse of a double, and it seemed to be a good size. The proprietors are a mother and daughter and they were wonderful! Very helpful. Seems to be primarily businessmen during the week, but on weekends a more mixed group of guests. Breakfast was the standard,... More
