Rating: 8.73

What guests think

Hotel City Central earns praise for its walkable, transit-friendly location near Vienna’s sights, consistently friendly staff, very clean rooms, and a widely liked breakfast, making it a convenient base for city breaks and first-time visitors.

Rooms range from spacious to quite small, with a traditional, sometimes dated style. A recurring downside is thin walls and limited sound insulation, with occasional minor issues like uncomfortable pillows, a noisy air conditioner, or a TV not working. Some guests missed in-room extras such as kettles or minibars, and the old-fashioned key system is noted. Overall, it suits travellers who prioritise cleanliness, helpful staff, and breakfast over extra amenities.

A very convenient hotel near to the center of the city and easy to use the transportation. The breakfasts is ok with limited variety but tasty and fresh products. The only bad thing is that they removed the mini bar from room (they told me to save the environment!!!!!) and i could not have something cold to drink. Also no coffee making facilities and it would be nice to have a bottle of water in room, these are basics as a 4 star hotel! Nevertheless i suggest it for a good option in Vienna

The hotel is a little dated and you get a big chunky key. Once you get over the aged hotel... everything is good! The linens were clean and crisp and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great. The front desk team was extremely helpful. Everyday there is a new cake for you to take a piece. The location is outside of where the major site seeing is, but the subway station is very close and you can get everywhere.

Não há geladeira no quarto. O hotel não tem bar nem restaurante e diz ser de 4 estrelas. É apenas um bed and breakfast melhorado.

Staff super helpful (I had a noisy neighbour which was dealt with immediately). Asked for ice and received it. Rooms use keys not cards which is a bit old fashioned but works - only downside is the heavy doors banging shut. Walls pretty thin so guest noise unavoidable but no outside street noise at all. Room was great - decent size and everything worked well including the wifi. Tv location was odd - sort of in a corner so you could not sit and watch directly - only at an angle. May be different in other rooms. Not loads of storage space in the room - I big wardrobe but it was enough. A digital safe was also included in the wardrobe. Location was superb - a couple of minutes to the subway, 10 or so walking to Stephenplatz. Supermarket literally next door and excellent asian restaurant the other side. Bike station a short walk away which I found to be very cheap and convenient. Lots of cycle lanes. Vegan burger joint just across the canal - wide range of burgers/fries ALL vegan which was a (welcome) surprise for me anyway to find in Vienna! Breakfast was included but I prefer to find my own so can't comment on this. Very hard to find fault with his hotel. I would definitely stay there again.

Das Hotel ist recht gut gelegen. Es ist vieles Sehenswertes zu Fuß zu erreichen, oder mit der Straßenbahn direkt vor der Tür. Die Zimmergröße ist recht knapp. Mit 2 kleinen Koffern war es schon etwas eng und hat nach einem langen Besichtigungstag nicht besonders einladend zum relaxen. Auch die Duschgeräusche aus den Nachbarzimmern haben ihren Beitrag dazu geleistet.

The best part of this property was how kind the staff was. Everyone went out of their way to greet you and to assist you. One major thing that made the experience uncomfortable was how thin the walls are. Do not book this place if you want to actually sleep. You can hear everything in the rooms next to you. The building must be old and it can be pretty noisy at times. Some guests were up all night so we were as well. That is my only complaint.

The breakfast was excellent and the cleaning staff were very good, as were the front desk. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anybody visiting Vienna. Ideally situated for access to transport, restaurants and local sites of interest.

I had a really good stay at the Hotel City Central. The location was just across the canal from the City Center, near the public transportation, my Hop ON Hop Off stop, & next the super market. The staff was excellent. Mr. Thomas who worked the front desk in the late afternoon/evening was great and very helpful. Mr. Rhinegald who worked in the morning was also very good & helpful. The breakfasts were also excellent. The only complaint I have is that you could hear the people talking in the neighboring rooms talking. I'm light sleeper and that was a bit of a problem. But overall, I really liked the hotel a great deal.

Odalarin isitmasi cok iyi, ozellikle soguk kis gunlerinde sicak oda cok iyi oldu. Kahvalti yeterli ve lezzetliydi. Ozellikle bakery tarafi cok muthisti. Fakat kahvaltida et tiplerini domuz yemeyenler icin belirtilmesi lazim oldugunu dusunuyorum. Bazi etlerde yaziyor ama bazilarinda yazmiyor.
