“Fair Enough”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011

We stayed here at the end of September, following stays in more modern hotels in Bratislava and Budapest. It was a pleasant change to stay somewhere more individual, the reception rooms in particular having some real character. We had a large, bright room with windows on 2 sides (room 138). It was comfortable and clean, though the furniture is basic, and the tv a bit of an antique (the only channel in English we found was Eurosport, but at least this meant we were spared CNN). The bathroom was a decent size with a good shower, though a window blind would be a good idea rather than just frosted glass - the lighting was very bright, which doesn't do much for your modesty!

Breakfast was pretty standard but none the worse for that, and we found all the staff friendly and helpful, and fairly relaxed about when they wanted us to pay - overall, they were very welcoming.

Location, well as said previously, its not central, but its withig walking distance of the Belvedere and the Military Museum (Franz Ferdinand's car - fascinating...) and public transport will get you into the centre in about ten minutes or so. The tram route at the stop outside goes directly to Landstrasse (for the airport train) and on to the Prater fairground.

I don't see how the immeadiate area could be described as 'dodgy' - its mostly a pedestrianised shopping precinct. Granted, the proximity of the building site that will become the new main railway station is a mess at present, but we certainly didn't have any sense of threat when we were walking around. One bonus was the presence of a number of Turkish restaurants, which meant my vegetarian partner had a decent range of menu options. A shame that the pub next to the hotel, though an excellent place for a drink (the Hausbrau particularly), has only one non-meat option.

Room Tip: Rooms facing the street and the square will have some traffic noise.

“Excellent budget hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2010

people found this review helpful

I stayed at Hotel Kolbeck for a week in autumn, and loved it. The communal areas are clean and well maintained. The owners have done a good job at repainting the rooms (since our last visit a few years ago) and renovating some parts of the hotel. I travelled with my 1 year old son and husband, and can say that the rooms were very quiet, albeit being on a central shopping square. The district was a bit dodgy, but that is to expect with the price.

The staff was excellent- very helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was generous, fresh, and lenient with timekeeping. I didnt particularly dig the interiors of the breakfast room, but the reception area more than made up for it.

Would definitely recommend it for couples and people travelling with no children or children who can walk by themselves. One downside was that there was no elevator, but luckily our room was on the basement floor.

“Just the basics”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2010

I must say that I expected much more according to the official site and the room cost, but you must be prepaired for this in Vienna. Everything is so expensive!
Anyway, the walls in the room had to be painted, they where a bit dirty and the room was small but you can avoid that by paying more money.
Breakfast was a big success. Everything was fresh cooked and was in a buffet - style.
The only annoying thing is the staff (not all of them) when they are cleaning up the tables! Noisy, noisy, noisy!
Overall I spent 8 days there with nothing else to complain about.
EXPENSIVE according to what they offer.

“bare bones”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2010

Barely passable -- the bed and bathroom were clean -- room was small but I expect that in Europe. It was pretty tacky. Plastic sliding doors on a "closet", cheap crapy furniture. No elevator! Hallway and stairs needed a good scrubbing. The man at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was typical and pretty good. The location was close to the U1 -- took about 10 minutes to get to the center of the city. It backs a shopping street with a decent restaurant next door and a wonderful bakery close by, grocery stores, department stores, etc. etc. The area is a bit borderline. Not the best area but I never felt unsafe either. If we went again I would shop around for a different hotel.

“Old Hotel but tacky inside”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 March 2010

This Hotel has carictor as soon as you walk through the door, welcomed by the very nice receptionist, who happened to be on duty at this time.
This lady was extremly helpful when we needed it.
Handed our key so we could get setteled in and changed to find a meal some where.
Well, this room happened to be like a rabbit hutch made by someone who had it in for you, we will find the cheapest material and cuck it in and close the door quickly and see where it lands.
