At Riess City Rooms - Self Check-in, guests praise the convenient location, cleanliness, and value, with mostly smooth self check-in, while recurring drawbacks include heat from no air conditioning and having to use stairs as there is no lift.
Several reviews mention poor response to emails or difficulty reaching support, and a few guests did not receive entry codes as expected. Room comfort is generally good, though some found them small or noisy, and Wi-Fi reliability varied. Best suited to independent travelers comfortable with minimal on-site staffing.

I stayed for a week and the temperature inside was uncomfortably hot the entire stay. I had the windows open the whole time with a fan running, but the temperature inside was always much warmer than outside, even at night. I was supposed to receive a code by email for check in, but did not receive code. I had to call a number to get my code. The information card in the room indicated that no internet code was necessary, yet it was password protected so I had to call again to get the code. On my last night, the power went out in my room. I called to report it and the power was restored in about an hour. Sometime after midnight someone was ringing the buzzer to my room. Finally, I read the detailed instructions about the hotel before arriving. I noticed that it said that some upper rooms require going up stairs. I wrote a message to the hotel through Expedia asking for a lower unit. I nevwr received a reply from the hotel. Sure enough, I was in a room that required carrying my luggage up the maximum number of stairs possible.

I liked it was cozy, welcoming, easy to access, clean, and the area around is beautiful. What I didn’t like is that it was too hot inside with only a very small fan in the room, also sometimes it was too loud in the area that i hear the music noise inside the room.

We never received a email with our check-in code and had to call support. It took calling 4 times before we got through to someone. The property was also extremely hot with not air conditioning. I would not stay here during the summer. I also want to mention that the luggage storage was accessible by all guests and I would be hesitant to leave any valuables there.

Great hotel, well located and fuss-free check in and check out. I arrived late at night and it was super easy to find the location, access the key machine and get into my room. The only down side is that there is no air conditioning other than opening the windows which have limits on them, so it was rather warm due to the heatwave. There was a large fan provided which was effective, but quite noisy to use in the night. The in-room drinks (water bottle, coffee sachets) weren't replaced when the housekeeping came each day which was a bit odd, but otherwise it worked perfectly for a short business stay in Vienna.

Everything fine except check-in instructions should note the keybox is up the three smallxflights of stairs, as there are three keyboard; one outside, one, inside, and the correct one, several flights up. Friendly cleaning staff, TV good for media, and coffee maker appreciated!

This is a wonderful place to stay in central Vienna, just outside the ring. There are excellent amenities with lovely restaurants and cafés nearby. City Hotel Riess could make it easier to contact them with questions or concerns. No lift so you need to carry heavy luggage up 3 flights, but worth it for the price and convenience. Cleaning staff were helpful and friendly.

No AC, unfortunately. Otherwise, employees are nice, easy self check-in. There is a restaurant on the ground floor which doesn’t close until 10 or 10:30pm, bring your earplugs if you want to leave the window open.

God and fair deal for this room. It is placed very closed to center and all tourist attractions, but is situated in a very quiet neighbourhood. The room was nice and clean with simple and functional furniture. The size of the room was bigger than normal hotels which is nice. Access to a new large kitchen was excellent for making your own breakfast (supermarket around the corner with freshly baked bread).

Did not receive email to give me access to building after 2pm. Was travelling with friend who had used different booking agent so no problem. Nice to have fruit available and coffee pods once I worked out where they were. Home made cake also nice touch.

Zero wifi for must of my stay which was extremely irritating for someone travelling from overseas who doesn’t want to accumulate serious roaming charges! Since it is self check-in there’s nobody to complain to. It’s super easy to lock yourself out of your room by accident (door locks automatically) and difficult to contact somebody to come let you back in. This whole self-service idea is really absurd.

Nach einem schönen Aufenthalt war der Service hinterher schlicht nicht vorhanden. Wir haben mit großer Sicherheit unbedacht etwas im Zimmer liegen gelassen, aber Riess City Rooms reagiert schlichtweg nicht auf unsere Nachragen und Bitten, Nachschau zu halten oder mit dem Servicepersonal zu sprechen. Das ist leider letztklassig für eine sonst sehr erstklassige Abwicklung.

God and fair deal for this room. It is placed very closed to center and all tourist attractions, but is situated in a very quiet neighbourhood. The room was nice and clean with simple and functional furniture. The size of the room was bigger than normal hotels which is nice. Access to a new large kitchen was excellent for making your own breakfast (supermarket around the corner with freshly baked bread).

Die Lage ist perfekt. Gute Anbindung mit den Öffentlichen zu den bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die Zimmer sind klein aber in Ordnung und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Allerdings ist es sehr hellhörig.

Easy check in and out; but even more importantly, clean and safe property in a lovely area close to transport links.

We were pleasantly surprised with the room being more spacious than expected, also a small kitchen with all the amenities on the same floor.

Great hotel, well located and fuss-free check in and check out. I arrived late at night and it was super easy to find the location, access the key machine and get into my room. The only down side is that there is no air conditioning other than opening the windows which have limits on them, so it was rather warm due to the heatwave. There was a large fan provided which was effective, but quite noisy to use in the night. The in-room drinks (water bottle, coffee sachets) weren't replaced when the housekeeping came each day which was a bit odd, but otherwise it worked perfectly for a short business stay in Vienna.

Everything fine except check-in instructions should note the keybox is up the three smallxflights of stairs, as there are three keyboard; one outside, one, inside, and the correct one, several flights up. Friendly cleaning staff, TV good for media, and coffee maker appreciated!

This is a wonderful place to stay in central Vienna, just outside the ring. There are excellent amenities with lovely restaurants and cafés nearby. City Hotel Riess could make it easier to contact them with questions or concerns. No lift so you need to carry heavy luggage up 3 flights, but worth it for the price and convenience. Cleaning staff were helpful and friendly.

No AC, unfortunately. Otherwise, employees are nice, easy self check-in. There is a restaurant on the ground floor which doesn’t close until 10 or 10:30pm, bring your earplugs if you want to leave the window open.

Did not receive email to give me access to building after 2pm. Was travelling with friend who had used different booking agent so no problem. Nice to have fruit available and coffee pods once I worked out where they were. Home made cake also nice touch.

This place was awesome the location was perfect and the room was great. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because they have a fully set up kitchen except no stove, I was under the impression we would be able to cook there. I probably just didn’t research it fully but it definitely sucked to find out.

Nice place. Nothing too fancy but it's got what you need and is clean and neat. It is also very easy to get in and get the room key.
