The property is fine and the breakfast was good. It is away from the city center though. read more

Arcotel Wimberger - Hotels Near Me - Vienna, 9

After spending a week in Vienna and sharing a room in a hostel with fellow travelers, I decided to treat myself to a nice hotel. I picked this location because I was departing from the Westbahnhof train station the following morning and I wanted to only be a short walk away. Plus, I got a killer deal via hipmunk dot com. Location: It's not in the city center but it's a 5 minute walk to the Westbahnhof station (see map). 5 stops on the U3 (underground) to Stephansplatz which is the main touristy area with the unfinished church. 5 stops on the U6/U4 to Kettenbrückengasse which is where you'll find the Naschmarkt which is A MUST. It's a spectacular open air market full of killer food/treats! 7 stops to catch the CAT which takes you to the Vienna International Airport Food: There's a bar downstairs that stops serving food after a certain hour but you can always order room service. Also! There are food stands directly across the street (and to your right) that never close, that's right twenty fo' seven! They're not phenomenal but they do the trick if the bars/restaurants nearby have already closed. Room: Clean, spacious, large tub. The only thing strange about this room is that their beds are two twin beds pushed together. It reminded me of something from the set of I Love Lucy but the beds were comfortable and the curtains did a good job of keeping the light out in the morning so I can't complain. Amenities: If you plan on going to the spa (which I definitely did!), you can call the front desk and they'll bring you a robe. The spa is on a specific floor and you need to use your keycard to unlock the door (it took me way too long to figure that out). The spa has a large jacuzzi, sauna, work out area, a massage therapist you can book, and some weird vibrating machine that you can sit on.. I'll upload a video because words don't do this contraption justice. read more

See all

This hotel used to be great. I've been a patron for over 20 years, so I definitely have a lot of experience staying here. 1st off the rating should not be 4 stars it's for sure a 3. Upon this last arrival the front desk greeting was not welcoming in any way. The air conditioning is non existent. There is a unit in the room but no breeze comes out. It's been in the 80's and high 70's. When I asked I was told "we don't have A/C like in the states-open your windows." Well that might be an idea but the never ending loud sirens blaring all day and night don't allow for any quiet. There is a hospital near by and this hotel is on a Main Street. Also there is a skateboarding park directly across the street and you will hear that going on way into the night- talking, laughing, music. It's a lot. Back to inside- besides the muggy rooms, the shower has half a glass that permits water to get all over the floor. Doesn't matter how you point the shower head, the floor will be very wet. It can be slippery and dangerous getting out. The other downs are room service is very limited with small menu all in German. There isn't even a card in the room. You have to go to the hotels website and locate the restaurant and find the menu which is all in German. At the very least there can be a translation. If you choose to dine in the restaurant, it's the same, only a menu in german. That used to not be the case. I was also told there wasn't an iron and then when I asked again the next day at the front desk, I was told yes I may have it. I also needed some hot water brought up because I wasn't feeling well and was told I'd have to come down and get it, but once I ordered food they agreed to bring it up. The only plus here is: they do have a nice breakfast set up and the staff at breakfast and housekeeping are very nice. I have come across a 2 people at the front desk who were a little more friendly. The location is the only reason I've stayed here as long as I have. It is very central with lots of great things all in walking distance. So I have swallowed it. But no more. To call this a 4 star hotel is a stretch. This is my last time coming here. read more

Possibly the hotel with the fewest amenities in the room I have ever stayed at. Arrived and the air conditioning was set at 30c. Turned it down and went out when we came back the room was still roasting rang reception and was informed it only worked on heating to turn it off and open the window. I might mention the window is on a major road and there's no security screen so anyone could have climbed into the room ( we were on the second floor). No fridge, no bench space, no coffee and tea facilities, broken lamp shade, no minibar, no toiletries, only one chair, and we could hear the people in the next room. Avoid this place like the plague read more

I've been staying at this hotel for many many years. It's really pretty nice. Close to all and convenient to get around on foot. Reasonable rates and you get plenty. Also I must add- the staff is nice. Not overly friendly- but polite. Small gym with sauna and steam room. Massage by appointment and a whirlpool. Free WiFi, great breakfast, decent sized rooms and I've stayed in all of them! The suite has two floors and two bathrooms, a baby grand in the room too. The smaller suites also have 2 floors but upstairs only has a bed and i think a tv too- I can't remember. Ok so I can't give it 5 stars because the shower is a hot mess. The design is done poorly with half a glass that's supposed to shield the water from going all over the place. IT DOES NOT!!!! Water gets everywhere and even seeps out of the bottom of the glass. I try to lessen the water pressure to control the water but it still gets everywhere. You (me) end up having to use your towels to dry the floor and then wring them out after and hang to dry. Who wants to clean up the floor and wring towels after a shower? Now, this hotel has gone under a renovation a few years back and I thought surely the poor shower design is something that would have been addressed by now. Nah. No change. So with that I leave you. I will continue to stay here as I have, but bring my plastic gloves for towel wringing duty. read more
