This is my second time staying at Benedikthaus. It was as good as the first. It is tremendously quiet, centrally located, with a comfortable and simple room. The breakfast is also wonderful - I dream of that breakfast!

Christopher United States of America

Location is perfect. The room has everything you need (no TV though).Very clean. Breakfast is very decent. The staff is great and so nice!

Lena Israel

Staff and the location are the best, near the high end shops like LV, Prada, Gucci and so much more! very near to Graben and Stephenplatz!

Christopher United Arab Emirates

Great central location with a Christmas market out front.

Steven United States of America

Lisa, the front desk clerk, was really helpful. It’s located in a wonderful part of the city and a beautiful facade. Not always the quietest stay even though I paid extra to face the courtyard. Bed also not that comfortable.

Damion United States of America

It was clean; goid location; good value for money.

Elisabeta Romania

Clean room, , great location in center, check out earlier than usual, but we were able to store our luggage till 9pm. Great value for the price.

Tetiana United States of America

What a wonderful opportunity to stay in a unique room while visiting Vienna. The room I had can best be described as a dormitory type room for the church. Somewhat spartan, but clean, comfortable and centrally located.

James United States of America
