“We didn't choose to stay here - but they went out of their way to be helpful.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2011

We were very rudely shunted out of Hotel Erzherzog Rainer after the hotel supposedly double booked our rooms - and we were taken to this hotel Johann Strauss. The management here did a very fine job of looking after us as we were very grumpy and unhappy at being so summarily dumped by Erzherzog Rainer!

We found the hotel to be a 2 minute walk to an underground station, as well as having a selection of restaurants and a supermarket nearby. The breakfast was average - one morning they ran out of tea bags, they only ever had 1 or 2 croissants - but breakfast isn't everything. The staff were all amazing - we would spend a bit of time in the bar area - they have a fantastic aquarium you can watch while having drink - and the waiters were great.

The rooms were very spacious, the bed comfortable, the bathroom modern and clean and the internet quick.

“Good location, awesome breakfast, small room.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2011

The location of the hotel is pretty good. It is a short 15-20 minute walk from the center, and it is right next to a u-bahn station. The metro in Vienna is very frequent, so getting to the center is a matter of as little as 5 minutes by that route.

The hotel itself is very nice and clean. There is a computer in the lobby which can be accessed anytime, so if you need to check your email or get some information on the city, it's very good to have. The rooms are modern and very nicely furnished. The only problem is for a tall person (depending on the room), the shower might be a bit small vertically, as well as the bed, but it's not a huge problem.

Also the included breakfast is among the best I've had at a hotel. The selection is very big and can keep you going for a great part of the day.

“conference visit plus some spare time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2010

Hotel was in perefect location - close to TU (conference venue), right next to underground station, and even walking distance to old city town centre. Staff were friendly and provided assistance for every request. Wireless was a bit weak in the room and speed a bit slow at times, but of no great concern.

“convenient location but needs improvement”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2010

Located a few steps from a metro stop (red line) which passes underneath the square of Stephansdom. Alternatively it is a 10min walk from Kamtner street, where you can find a lot of shops belonging to well-known companies.

The architecture of the hotel is a classic example of Vienna's buildings, it is in a good state and nice. However the interior, particularly the lobby is somehow dated as well as the furniture of the rooms. The floor of our room was covered with carpet which was dirty with stains. Other rooms had wooden floor. Also the bathroom and the wc were not together as it was in other rooms. The pillows were also dirty apparently due to sweat of other customers, the sheets were clean though.
We had the impression that we were given an inferior room.
Breakfast was satisfactory but service was mediocre.
Staff answered effectively in our questions.

“A bit 'meh'”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010

I needed a place to stay for two weeks after a previous holiday plan fell by the wayside.

Whilst the location was excellent; literally a minutes walk to the U-Bahn station. I found the hotel to be a little disappointing. The free Wi-Fi barely worked, and regularly lost connectivity and I was literally upstairs from the reception.

The breakfast was also quite poor, with very little in terms of selection. The eggs and bacon were usually always cold too.

The rooms weren't awful, but the bed certainly was. The pillows were about as thick as the pillow case cover and the bed was quite lumpy.

One excellent positive however is the courteous staff working there. Especially the very attractive blonde behind the reception that had a smile to die for!

I think the hotel is just looking a bit tired and needs to be spruced up a bit.
