There's nothing terribly special about this hotel but it gets the job done well. It's large and impersonal, but the rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. We found the location to work well for sight-seeing in Vienna. For the area, the price is very competitive. read more

ibis Wien Mariahilf - Hotels Near Me - Vienna, 9

We stayed at this hotel for 7 nights in the summer. We really enjoyed! I am from the USA and don't expect things to be the same everywhere in the world. I write my review from this viewpoint. First of all - our group package included breakfast which was really fantastic, varied and delicious! They had very much variety and very good quality!The coffee was from these automatic machine and we made our own cappuccino and it was pretty delicious. This idea of machine coffee would have previously sounded like some weird gas station coffee from the US but alas we are in another place and it was really tasty and we enjoyed. They had all sorts of meats, cheeses, breads, fruit. Oh it was great. Also little pate' and nutella and jams. We loved. Really the quality of the food was good and the employees attentive. The room was a good size - not huge but plenty of room. Like the bed took up most of the room and only one person could walk past the end of the bed at once - but then there was more room past the bed. No big deal. There did seem to be plenty of room to put our stuff around. We had two giant suitcases that fit underneath a counter just fine. The view was amazing. In Vienna it was warm. We were warm. We were always - warm. WARM! Outside it was HOT. Everything about Vienna and the beverages were warm to us. The room while not WARM was not cool. The windows would not open. So we struggled to cool off back at the room. I do not blame the hotel. I am from Ohio, USA. It is very seldom hot here and we always have a breeze and don't even regularly see sunshine. Here people did not seem to be overly warm - just us. But just a note that we were warm. We were on an upper floor so this could have contributed to it. And it was June and unseasonably warm there at the time. The hotel staff were all very professional and nice! And the lobby was comfortable and oh gosh we just really loved it and it was convenient to the subway or whatever they call it. It was close to Westbahnhof station and of course the trains are excellent. It was also close to a pedestrian area - Mariahilfer street which had many shops and restaurants. We just loved! It is so trendy to be negative. I didn't travel dang halfway around the world just to pick stuff apart and have a bad time. read more

We stayed here for 2 nights, 6 of us in 2 rooms. The rooms are tiny, not a place you want to hang out in but fine for landing at the end of a day of sightseeing. If you stay three to a room be warned: it'll be very cozy. We couldn't figure out how to start the fan, or even if there was one, in the bathroom which lead to some comically smelly moments. We either got lucky with a quiet part of the hotel, or the soundproofing is good between rooms because we weren't bothered by our neighbors at all. The breakfast for 10 euros is worth it, if a bit chaotic with the number of guests. Pretty big buffet with eggs, bacon, cold cuts, all kinds of bread, muesli and yogurt, fruit. The coffee machines actually make a decent latte, and there are 4 of them. Located near both the U-bahn and a streetcar line, which is very convenient. I'm taking two stars off for the tiny rooms. read more

This hotel is a joke. We had a few days stay at Hotel ibis while visiting Vienna and were not impressed. First off, it stinks of cigarettes when you walk into the lobby, almost overwhelming. The elevators suck, there aren't enough of them and they don't run often enough. The room AC was sub par, that may be the norm in Europe, however, when it's cooler outside than in the room and the AC is on full blast...the AC is not serving its' purpose. Hotel ibis has a 15-minute satisfaction guarantee, according to the hotel's website if a customer informs the front desk of a problem that they would correct the problem within fifteen minutes. Sadly, we had to engage this guarantee but got no satisfaction. In the end, an employee's reaction clouded our entire stay at ibis, not to mention some of us had to stay in a smoking room and came out smelling like a cigarette the next day. This stay was not the best. read more

Upon arrival, the entire lobby smells of cigarette smoke. The staff was rude, and condecending. We got a room on the 12th floor but on the street side. Being in the room for 5 minutes, we knew we wouldn't sleep, so we called and asked to see if we could move to the back of the building. The receptionist immediately told us they would have to call us back because they were completely booked. About 2 minutes later - they called and said they could move us across the hall (I guess they weren't COMPLETLY booked). When my SO went down to get our new key - they told him they knew nothing about us changing rooms and acted completely bothered by it. Finally - they gave us new keys. The room was incredibly tiny. Also, very hot. They heat the hotel with their own controls, and then you can turn the heat on additionally in your room. They advertise that they have air conditioning - but it's off during the winter. So, we boiled the first night, and finally opened our window (even though there were stickers that said not to - we were miserable). Even with the window open, I still slept on top of the sheets. No fridge in the room. They had squirt tubes with combination hand/shampoo/ and body wash. Terrible. No wash cloths, no hand towels. Blow dryer barely worked - I couldn't get my hair dry. The cleaning staff only took the trash out. Nothing else. I scrapped my knee on the wall in the middle of the night (on the first night), and I didn't realize it. In the morning, I sadly saw blood on the sheets. The cleaning staff never changed the sheets. Breakfast was basic. I wish I could give this place zero stars. Seriously - go somewhere else. read more

I stayed here 3 nights just recently. I stayed in a double room on the 5th floor. On the positive side, I liked how quiet the hotel room is. Also I liked the large American style room with bathroom with a nice view over the city. However there were a few problems. First of all, the elevators were kind of disconcerting. I noticed that they like to open their doors about a foot before arriving to the floor just to scare the passengers. Also, the wifi in my room was of fair quality. Lastly and most significantly, I noticed a tiny bit of mold/mildew in the shower door in a place that would be easy to clean for the cleaning staff. read more
