What guests think

Hotel Kaiserin Elisabeth earns strong praise for its unbeatable central location by Stephansplatz, welcoming staff, traditional charm, and comfortable rooms, making it easy to walk to sights, shops, and transit while enjoying a calm, well-kept base.

Rooms are often spacious and quiet if courtyard-facing, though some singles are small or have limited views, and a few guests noted soft mattresses or pillows. Breakfast is widely appreciated for quality and variety, but a handful found the selection or value underwhelming. Common downsides include early-morning street-service noise, occasional air-conditioning issues, and the frequent absence of in-room kettles. Expect classic, well-run lodgings with old-Vienna character.

The location was amazing. It is right off of the main city centre strip and maybe a 30 second walk from the St Stephen's cathedral. The lobby itself is worth a visit. Clean, spotless, sleek. It has a lovely atmosphere as soon as you come inside. The staff at the front desk were helpful, and polite, and spoke fantastic english. They took our luggage until check in, allowing us to explore the city. They answered all of our questions, and looked after the room key each time we went out. The lift to the room is right by reception - very easily to locate and allows getting to the room to be a very quick experience. The room itself is lovely. An excellent shower, comfortable bed, big pillows, minibar, and a window that opens properly allowing fresh air. I will recommend this hotel to anybody who is going to visit Vienna.

Piacevolmente accolti da Michele di grande disponibilità e competenza. Ogni richiesta sempre piacevolmente soddisfatta. Al momento non disponibile il servizio bar nell’accogliente sala comune, un peccato!

The staff was okay but not very helpful. The room was strange. Big room with one tiny single bed . Linens and pillows were excellent. The bathroom had a lovely tub, sink and bidet but no toilet. The toilet was across the room in a tiny closet without enough room to sit comfortably on the toilet. It had a strong door closer so leaving the door open was not an option! Ridiculous! No bar or restaurant onsite so I ran up a bit of a bill at the minibar

Uncrowded, smallish and quiet (we requested a back room) traditional Viennese styled and furnished hotel with modern amenities and attentive and very helpful Staff away just steps away from St. Stephens Square and the Underground, tram stops and many/shops/restaurants. Excellent breakfast buffet, a large, quiet and beautifully furnished off-lobby lounge area and, in our room, an unusually large and well-equipped bathroom. Some of the corridor carpets show wear, and if that detail would trouble you, then look for a modern styled non-traditional hotel.

The breakfast was abundant. However, there were two issues with our stay: 1. Our air conditioning leaked directly into the room. Housekeeping knew as a towel was placed on the floor to soak up the water. yet nothing was done to fix it. 2. Only half of our laundry was returned. When we reported it at 8pm, we were told nothing could be done until the duty manager arrived at 7am the next day. When we spoke with the duty manager at 7am the next day, he said nothing could be done until 8am, when laundry opened. Therefore, we were leaving at 730am without all of our laundry. Yet, we were asked to pay our laundry bill. When we declined as we hadn't received all our laundry, the duty manager became strident saying there was nothing he could do. They finally found our laundry later that day and sent it to the next hotel; however, how the situation was managed from 8pm-730am was disappointing and unprofessional.

The hotel was clean but the only available toiletry was a squeeze soap for hand, shower gel, shampoo & conditioner. It was almost empty in 2 containers when we arrived and the only thing available. It left my hair a gloppy mess, it was not a conditioner. The breakfast buffet was not the greatest, no scrambled eggs, only toast for gluten free, very limited options for such a nice hotel. Our room was smaller than pictured, we could hardly walk around the 2 chairs in the room to get to the bathroom. Overall a nice hotel but definitely could use some improvements.
