Greillenstein Vacations from $899

Excellent hotel, couldn't have a more central location for sightseeing, a block from the Stephansplatz (our room had a view of the main entrance side of the Stephansdom). Despite being smack dab in the middle of a hectic tourist part of town, it was pretty quiet. Admittedly, the the reception lounge and the rooms are a bit frilly (with their theme of Leopold I's court), but I thought the decor was so fun--artwork all over the walls. All of the staff was so charming, reception, the servers for breakfast and other hotel staff. We included breakfast with our room, and although it is a la carte, the selections won't leave anybody lacking for choice. Excellent fresh choices. The "ceiling" of the breakfast room is a tent-like structure that they retract when the weather is fair, for semi-open air seating. The hotel seemed to be recently renovated, including an elevator, and the room had plenty of outlets, much appreciated air conditioning, a safe, a fridge (with complementary beverages), blackout curtains, and so so many mirrors in the room! We had a Grand Deluxe Double Room, and the bedroom/sitting area and bathroom were sizeable and comfortable. We used the laundry service and everything came back the same afternoon. On the whole, we really liked everything about The Leo Grand, and would definitely recommend it and return myself.

We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Motto Vienna and felt very welcomed from check in. The hotel lived up to its boutique description and we found the location incredible with a shopping mall and Neubaugasse subway just outside the front door. Bus transport was also easily walkable. Definitely recommend this hotel as an alternative to central Vienna with it’s excellent transport links.

Yes, there were plenty of shops nearby and it was close to public transportation which made it really easy to get around. The pharmacy was a short walk which we needed for allergy medicine. Coffee shops a Billa and a Spar Gourmet all within 5-6 minute walk.

Staff could be more curtious.
