location is the only thing deserving 4 stars, close to the ring (Schottentor), 10-20 minutes to several attractions, old town (insie the ring) and the university, lots of bars and restaurants in the vicinity, tram and U-bahn closeby. the rest of the hotel maybe deserves 3 stars - which is just ok for us, just to let other, maybe more demanding travellers know. Clean enough, with garage below the hotel for 15€ per night, and decent breakfast. The reception is on the 2nd floor, but there is a lift. have read some quite bad reviews regarding the poorly kept rooms - but we have been lucky to get a decent one (22), close to the reception and breakfast room. a girl at the reception did not speak english enough to be able so explain how the garage functions and where it is - so she went with me downstairs and showed me - so no complaint really; also other staff have maybe been a bit reserved, but still kind enough and helpful. Maybe we have been missing kettle to boil the watter / prepare a coffee in the room.

I feared the worst after reading some reviews on here, but the hotel was fine. A good location, large clean room, plentiful buffet breakfast and staff who were appt to answer questions. Vienna is an expensive city so you have to accept that or not go. My major negative would be the hotel is noisy as on a team route but that’s obvious from the map and has its benefits too.

From the decrepit entrance lobby & lift, through the disinterested receiption person, tiny TV, out-of-use hairdryer, maid that forgot to clean our room, non-existent security for left luggage & constant noise from the passing trams, "excellence" is a word that was seldom used during our stay. The location was convenient for certain areas of the City University & the Rathaus Xmas market, but other main attractions were a 20-30 min walk away. 4* it was not. 2 1/2 would have been more accurate. Not cheap either.

the good: - walkable distance to all attractions within the ring road, votivkirche 700m, stephansplatz 1.9km, karlskirche 2.8km. for those that don't like to walk, fortunately, uber works great in vienna! - good wifi the bad: - a/c didn't work well, seemed to be set and controlled centrally, the remote in room didn't do a thing. staff was polite and wasn't able to fix anything. but i did feel that a/c in vienna else where, shops, airport, etc., all seemed to be under powered as well. - facilities seem to be old and not updated for a long while, therefore the price/quality ratio is low on my scale.

Just left here after a night with my husband and my parents, and it was pretty grim to say the least. So many easy small changes could be done to make this place feel light and clean and lovely so please management try some! 1. Staff grumpy and unfriendly upon check in. 2. What 4 star hotel doesn’t have somewhere to store luggage safely? 3. The towels and bath mats were old stained and frayed, something I would dry my dog with. 4. There was a mini bar with a pricelist but nothing actually in our minibar. My parents had a bottle of water and 1 out of date beer in it. 5. See my photo- plug sockets hanging off the walls! 6. Barely any lighting in the actual bedroom. 7. No coffee/tea amenities in the room like you’d expect in a 4 star? 8. All rooms just overall dark and grim and stained walls etc. A lick of light paint would make the world of difference! The only thing positive is the actual rooms were clean! I can’t say that for the communal areas though.

This is NOT a 4* Hotel. It was dirty, shabby & dated. The photos say it all! Damage to door, radiator & mirror. Stains on walls, shabby well worn mix match towels. A diy loft hatch, dangerous electric socket in bathroom, step in bedroom with unsightly tape. Holes & stains in curtains. Miserable man on reception no greeting or info given! Breakfast was ok, glad we only booked one night! It was good to check out!!

This is not my first stay here, and by now returning to the Pension Excellence feels like returning home. I enjoy the quirkiness of this independent hotel, which does not mean comfort is compromised. The breakfast buffet spread is better than in many continental hotels, including some hot options. The rooms are a little dated, but everything works well and they are warm in winter, and airy when the weather is warmer. The manager is happy to help if you have any issues, and the wifi runs fast. The location is perfect, with the 43, 44, and 5 trams right outside the door, and the old city a short (in my opinion) walk away. This pension is especially good if you have work do around the university area.

This is a small quiet hotel in the city. Had to climb up the stairs to get to the room. Very close to all good sightseeing places in the city and close to Christmas markets. Not very expensive. You get what you pay for
