The location was good and the washroom was very spacious. However, the cleaning staff forgot to clean our room the first day, and they got off already when we finished our day. Their receptionist was also very poor and rude to us.

An Inside Look at Hotel Ambassador

„Situated in the finest part of the city, and provided with all modern comforts“ - This was the wording of the advertisement placed by the hotel, under the name of the "Hotel Krantz“, in the Wiener Zeitung, issue number 127, on Saturday 4th June 1898. The description we gave of ourselves then, still fits today. With its more than 100 year old history, the Ambassador can designate itself as one of the richest buildings in the city in terms of tradition. And not just in respect of its function as a hotel. The Ambassador has been welcoming people over the course of the decades in a wide variety of functions, and under different names. The range of its uses extends from a private house, to its use as an exclusive ballroom for the highest echelons of Vienna society, from a concert hall to the finest of hotels.

Excessive meal prices (especially breakfast) compared to very local enjoyable and easily accessible outside options. Sure that food was good, but, even allowing for 5* rating, too much.
Location superb. Perfect for all main tourism and leisure sites. Spotlessly clean.

Finally i was upset because it is 5 stars hotel and it is like this
1-The location. 2- the building is old and antique.

Major construction on one side of the hotel that was not disclosed in advance. Jack hammers started at exactly 6:30am. We were able to be moved to the other side but not without a threat to leave early.
Location was excellent between St Stephen’s and the Ring Road on one of the pedestrian streets.

The number of the amenity kit was so poorly provided for a room which costs hundreds of Euros. We only got a small mini bottle of each shampoo, body lotion and bath gel for 2 people. Cost cutting was too obviously visible. Also the temperature of hot water from the shower was not stable and it was very annoying.
Location is unparalleled.

“Good hotel in a fantastic location. Enjoyed our stay”

We had difficulty finding the hotel when we first arrived because of construction work. An email from the hotel staff with directions of how to get there by taxi would have helped. We were also disappointed as there was no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. A kettle for hot water was provided when we asked for it.
The location of the hotel is excellent in the heart of the city within walking distance of the metro and the main sights. It's on the main shopping street with many restaurants and cafes. We booked a business room , it was large and clean with comfortable bed. The bathroom was spacious with good toiletries. Staff wee very friendly and helpful.
