    Not much not to like. The room was comfortable however the toilet and shower were separate and the space for the toilet was very small with both having a bit of difficulty closing the door when we needed to use it.

    All the team at the Donauwalzer were brilliant, friendly courteous and always ready to help. We didn't spend a lot of time at the hotel, as we spent the majority of our time in the city however all the interactions we had with the team were extremely positive. We noticed that on Sunday morning at breakfast a live music was being played with a violinist and a pianist in attendance. While we didn't actually stay for breakfast we both thought this was such a sweet and lovely Idea.

    Maybe more power outlets in the room just with all the electronic charging that had to be done, phone, external battery, laptop. Had to alternate charging between a few electronics. Sometimes it could get a bit loud from the noise outside, but if you're used to typical city life it's not an issue.

    The room was large, the shower is top notch and the bed was comfy. The staff are really nice and polite. The building itself is quite impressive to admire. The interior design of the hotel is a fusion of old Vienna and modern so it is really aesthetically pleasing to be in.

    The area where the hotel is located is not the greatest. Not a lot of restaurants or coffee places.

    This is a lovely hotel, with great staff and located very conveniently to go in/out Vienna city center. The night staff was very accomodating, and helped me and my toddler with everything we needed (warm milk, crib, even a teddy bear!)

    There is nothing to reflect about. All in all, at least in line with the price-performance ratio or much better. So, nothing to add.

    Charming crew! All in all everything fine. There is one thing to highlight above all: THE BREAKFAST! Amazing selection, great quality. Great value for money.

    Shower was not consistently one temperature and toilet room was very small in the double room, difficult to shut the door when using it. I am gluten free and the bread took over half an hour to come out for breakfast and I was somewhat limited to what I could have but still paid the same money. Which was expensive for not much food.

    Good location, staff friendly and rooms were homely

    There was no fridge in my room and the toilet was not properly cleaned. i could see really bad stains under the seats when i bent down in the bathroom. i really wish they will be attentive with what the cleaners do

    The room is very small, some may find it uncomfortable. But everything suited me. The room is near the elevator and sometimes clients close the doors noisily, you can hear it. The air conditioner is directed towards the bed, but this is a problem in almost all hotels. The room is far from the reception and there is no Wi-Fi.

    The room is very well thought out logically. Compact, but has everything you need. I asked for a quiet room, which was kindly provided. The breakfast is wonderful, beyond all praise. A vegan has a lot of different goodies for himself. And the live music at the weekend breakfast is wonderful. I had great pleasure. The administrator kindly printed out my boarding pass for the plane.

    Quite good but with some nitpicks
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Economy Twin Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Nothing very bad, but some hiccups. We booked one room with twin bed (for me and my wife) and another one with two single beds for our kids. However upon arrival we were told that the room for kids has one double bed. Only after we protested it turned out that there actually is a two-single-beds room available. The beds were put together so the staff had to come and move them apart and bring extra sheets. I don't really know if that's because of Booking.com not relaying info correctly or because of some other issue, but we made a specific point to have two single beds in a room for kids and that's not what we were offered. The other room, the one with double bed for me and my wife, had no separate bathroom, the shower was in the room itself, separated only by a glass pane. It looked cool but didn't feel very private, also it was difficult to shower without spilling the water on the wooden floor of the room itself (which had some dark discolourations already). The toilet was set up in a separate, very small closet-like space, so tiny that with doors closed it was actually difficult to use it (think banging your knees on the door when sitting on the toilet). That was the biggest drawback of the whole setup to be honest, it was simply uncomfortable. The cleaning staff did not replace our towels, they were not drying because of the AC so we left them on the floor which usually means 'please replace our towels' but they just hung them up all drenched back on the hooks. The room was also not very soundproof, we were woken up by people having a regular conversation next door (which is another issue, if you're in a hotel, you might want to perhaps NOT have a family discussion on 8AM on a Sunday).

    Convenient location near the U station. The hotel itself looks quite nice and the staff is nice and helpful. It's an old building with some really cool features, like old oak floorboards or vintage staircases and elevators. Very efficient AC (quiet but powerful) which was a really nice feature as it was scorching hot outside. A nice selection of foods at breakfast, with some really good sweets (cakes and such). The rooms and all facilities are well taken care of and clean. Since it's an old apartments building converted into a hotel, the rooms have surprising shapes and don't feel impersonal as hotels often do.
