“Surprisingly good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I have stayed in Papageno Hotel for 2 nights. Never heard of it before, but I had a booking through a company so there was not much choice.
It turned out that to be a very good choise indeed, though I have read some of the reviews here and have been really wondering.
Upon arrival, there is quite a long corridor which leads to the reception- by the way I never realised what was the point of such a long corridor.
The location is just great- some 10 minutes walk to the Opera - good start for the tourist.
I have been accomodated in a double room (upgrade chosen by management of Hotel) on the 4th floor- the lift is little bit aged but that is not the most important for a good hotel, isn't it?

The room was indeed very spacious , the bed was maybe little bit overused and aged-but in the same time there should be not any complaints about the cleanliness of the hotel itself.
The toilet was nice, always warm which is important since I was in Papageno in mid-January and outside tempereatures were freezing.
The breakfast was buffet style, varsious choice -between many types of bread, cheese, salamy,ham and so on....
The staff were generaly OK , except one older Gentlmen at the reception, which made few unfriendly remarks about the phone calls I got through Hotel's system, when I arived in the late afternoon- or at least about the number of phone calls.
All in all, I would try to visit Papageno once more, especially which I payed lowest possible rate (in accordance to the Hotel web site).

“Wonderful hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We loved our visit to Hotel Papageno. The hotel was immaculately clean and warm, the staff were lovely, the room was spacious (we had a 2 bedroom apartment for 4 adults), the beds comfy and the buffet breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The wifi connection was great and worked well from our room on the 5th floor. They served afternoon tea in the foyer every day free of charge and the location of the hotel was perfect - we walked to all the attractions in the centre of town and got on the metro to the castles further out of the city centre. A wonderful stay.

“Great for Conferences at TU Wien or Wirtschaftskammer, close to Opera”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011

people found this review helpful

I repeatedly stay there, when I have scientific conferences in Vienna. The location on the Wiedner Hauptstrasse is especially interesting if you have a meeting in the Vienna University of Technology or in the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (Wirtschaftskammer). The people at the Hotel are nice, the breakfast is very good. Internet!

“Average hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

The hotel is quite old and does not seem as it appears in the pictures! The rooms are big enough but the bathroom is very small (in my room, the toilette was separated from the shower and was inside a closet, which was very small as well). The hairdryer was broken and in the shower was impossible to not flood the floor because it doesn't contain the water inside...

The bed was very comfortable and in the lobby there was tea, coffee and cake 24 hours per day. The breakfast was also good, with multiple choices.

However, the hotel is too expensive for the conditions it offers!

“Will never recommend this hotel to anyone.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Once arriving at Hotel Papageno, the hotel lobby didn't look ANYTHING like the pictures on the website. This hotel needs a complete overhaul. My room which was as tiny as a shoebox - luckily, the bathroom must've just been redone. I also did not feel safe in my room. Also, NO AIR CONDITIONING! Then 2 days into my stay, I was woken up at 8am because the hotel's computer system had crashed and they lost everyone's reservations. I had to be woken up to prove that - not reasonable CS. Then, when I checked out A DAY EARLY, the receptionists were giggling because they realized they gave me the wrong room. And they knew the whole time and did not switch me. Disgusting service.

Room Tip: Request one of the newly renovated rooms... only if you dare to stay here.
