I think it might have been the room we were given, but Mum and I were rather disappointed with it. The room was spacious, with separate living and sleeping areas, and a kitchenette and bar counter, but the room was dark and depressing and it smelled of damp and mold. It could have been because it faced "inwards" into a sort of well and looked into other rooms. The receptionists were lovely and helpful, but they couldn't put us in another room because apparently the hotel was fully-booked. It is located in what is probably the central business district, and a bit of a walk to Stephensplatz, so at night on the weekend we were there, it got rather quiet and none of the restaurants or grocery stores in the vicinity was open. I kind of expected more, since it's a chain, but, well. AND NO FREE INTERNET! You have to pay for time-blocks! It was the only place we stayed at that didn't have free internet! The bathroom was spacious and lovely, though. Would try another hotel if I ever went back to Vienna.

We went for four days, for a friends wedding. It is really very well located. Walking distance to every major sight! The rooms are very big and clean,but the curtains and bed covers are quite old. The bathroom is OK, so I would say overall it is ok.

The breakfast is very good, and the staff very helpful. It is a very good deal to stay there.

We stayed 4-nights in mid-May, 2011 at the Starlight Suites II Renngasse while sightseeing in Vienna.

The hotel was acceptably clean, with comfortable, firm beds, good bath and linens, and a small microwave-based kitchen-corner with sink and stocked mini-bar. The staff were welcoming with a free beverage of choice, friendly and helpful with directions and suggestions, and available for bringing ice or other necessities to our room. The room was cleaned daily with fresh linens supllied. We booked a business package which included free Wi-Fi Internet and a nice buffet breakfast, making the stay very affordable (130 Euro/night) by Vienna standards.

I would rate the Starlight Renngasse as a good, solid three-star suites hotel based on the location, comfort and arrangement of the suites. The carpets in our room were in need of a good cleaning, otherwise the room was very well-kept. The sitting room furnishings were comfortable, if a bit spartan (as shown on their website), with television only in the bedroom, a small work-desk, and a rather bothersome need to log-in to the Wi-Fi at every use. The bathroom included a comfortably spacious and functional shower-box, toilet without bidet, and a single sink. The hairdryer barely worked our first 3 days and stopped working altogether just as I finished drying my hair on our last day! Bring your own hair dryer if you have long or thick hair and need something with a higher wattage.

Our main reason for not giving the Starlight Rengasse a 4-star rating was the darkness of the rooms both day and night (no bulb seemed to be brighter than a 40-watt) and the failure of the A/C to keep the room temperature below 24-25 degrees Celsius (76 to 78 Fahrenheit was a bit warm for us, but might be fine for others or during colder periods.) It really was rather a hot room for sleeping or sitting for extended periods of time. We asked for assistance with the air conditioning problem and the clerk came-up, adjusted the thermostat down to 10-degrees and explained there was a bit of a problem with the A/C in the whole hotel. In all fairness, it was an unusually warm and humid week in Vienna.

The location of the Hotel was a bit of a walk to some of the main sights, but we saw most of the center by foot without the need for a metro or cab. It is very convenient location to several good restaurants, a post office, a small mini-market, ATM's, and a Billa grocery, as well as various banks & offices.

Despite the difficulties with the A/C, lighting and hairdryer, we would indeed recommend Starlight Renngasse as a good, functional, three-star hotel with friendly staff and good package deals for touring Vienna on a budget.

Perfect location, right in Viena's Inner Ring. However, the street is a very quiet one. Wonderful staff, very helpful and absolutely sufficient and delicious breakfast. Breakfast's served from 6.30 to 11.00, which is great for both early birds and all those who sleep late. Spacious suites, 2 TV sets (in the bedroom and in the living room), a microwave, you get free tea, coffee and capuccino on a daily basis. Reasonable prices of the mini-bar alcohol and things. Free safe. The only disadvantage is the wi-fi (if you need it, of course), which is not free.
It was a wonderful break and I am absolutely convinced that next time we're in Vienna we'll be staying at the Starlight Renngasse Hotel again!
