The Hotel was perfectly situated if you want to start your tours of the city. There is a whole lot of restaurants nearby to choose from. The staff is friendly and helpful. But the the room showed some signs of wear in all areas (Stains on the carpet, the room had a smell which was not pleasant, scratches here and there). Changing of room was only possible to a lower floor due to booking situation. But the hotel staff recommended to stay in the room we had, due to noise in the evenings on the weekend. Therefore the overall stay was average.

We stayed at Mercure Vienna First 8 years ago and chose it for the same reasons again, and we were NOT DISAPPOINTED. We chose the breakfast included and everyday the staff was friendly, at the breakfast buffet, the front hotel staff, and house keeping. We appreciated their conversations about our day, and the hotel is in a great location to shops, restaurants, transportation and easily walkable to all that Vienna has to offer. We love this hotel and if we return to Vienna we will certainly stay here again.

Comfortable stay, decent value for money

We had a one night night here as it was well located for the Vienna to Bratislava boat. the hotel was clean, the room was average size but had a large comfortable bed and the bathroom was very good, with modern fittings and a powerful shower.

We arrived at this destination by taxi. Apparently in the afternoon/evening you cannot access the plaza in front by car. I wish somebody had told me this before we arrived with several suitcases in the late afternoon. I walked around the corner and found reception. They do not have anybody to help with the luggage. I walked around the corner and found reception. They do not have anybody to help with the luggage. They do have a little luggage cart you can roll over the cobblestones yourself. The plaza seems quaint and quiet but it turns into a bustling night spot for young people in the evening. If you’re looking for pubs and excitement and a youthful crowd, this might be a great choice of a hotel for you. We were very nicely greeted by reception. Our first room did not smell good and was right next to the elevator on the second floor, so I requested a change. We switched to a room on the third floor. The room was very small, but clean. There was very little room around the bed. The bathroom was fine, small but clean.One amenity I wish it had was hair conditioner. For breakfast, they charge 30 a person. It is very easy to go around the corner and get your own breakfast at a shop for less. The hotel is in a convenient location for taking a stroll by the water or going to Stephensplatz. With so many hotel options in Vienna, I do not believe this one has the amenities to be iworth the price.

New Year 2023/2024 stay 3 nights

Priviledge room on 5th floor has only roof window. Very hot room and no views since roof room. Standard modern with very nice bathroom and shower. Beds ok byt really no comfort to sit down in the room. Too expensive for this standard and rating is too high. Hotel location has breakfast but it is not special and has really ordinary choices, no great selections and seating is uncomfortable and area inconvenient and warm. There is not a bar as per definition bar. We were somewhat disappointed since very high prickig per night. Would not go here again.

Great location

The hotel was in an excellent position and the staff were very friendly and helpful with providing local information. The room itself was a bit dark with the curtains open perhaps due to the small window but mainly due to the dark grey decor which was a little tired in places. The double sliding mirror doors to the bathroom was quirky but not ideal for me ,however 10/10 for the rain shower which was perfect in my opinion. As said great location and particularly if you like the local friendly bars and some good craft beer. A few minutes walk from the Ubahn and the busy centre for a true Vienna experience.
