Lock in a great price for Hotel Ambassador – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

Perfectly located for the main downtown area. This is a great value hotel with just enough old world charm that you will actually feel like in Vienna and not some cookie cutter, big chain brand. I would suggest the larger business size rooms for an elegant experience.

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.

There is major construction going on in front of the hotel which is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. This means there is no access to front of hotel by vehicles and one has to walk about 100 yds from the blocked streets and paths to reach the hotel The decor is quite dated
Location was great and minutes from the main shopping street and good cafes and restaurant The room size was excellent and all the amenities were good and the bed comfortable

“Stay here if you want to be in the center”
- • Leisure trip

Well, the apartment we got was facing the construction site so it’s not great. You most probably are visiting Vienna to enjoy the beauty of the city but you won’t be able to see anything because the bedroom offered no windows and the windows in living are so tiny that even if you try to squeeze a view through them, all you can see is couple of buildings top part. They don’t provide water and iron in the room. Water is obviously charged additional whereas they don’t give iron. They rather offer ironing service which is not just bad in quality but extremely expensive. Expect to pay nearly Euro 50 for 2-3 pieces of clothing. Most of the staff behaviors is not friendly except a middle aged concierge cum bell desk person.
The property is located in the center of buzzing street with 3 minutes walk to all the main attractions.
