We loved our stay at Hotel Schwalbe! The staff were exceedingly friendly, the breakfast was delicious, and the room was lovely.

The hotel has a family vibe in it. Hotel's stuff was very kind and helpful. We were given a handful of tips regarding to our stay in Vienna. Our favourite part of the stay was ham and eggs in the morning!

We made a last-minute reservation after another hotel cancelled on us without much warning. We're extremely glad we did, as the hospitality at Hotel Schwalbe was second-to-none, and the room we were provided was spacious and extremely comfortable. We were greeted at the desk by Patricia, who I'm now convinced is one of Austria's national treasures. She was extremely warm, and made us feel right at home, checking us in and walking us to our room. When we headed out for dinner, she gave us personal recommendations and even walked outside with us to provide directions to a nearby restaurant. The morning after our stay, we helped ourselves to the delicious complimentary breakfast in the dining room, including sheep's-milk yogurt, fruit, various breads, and eggs made to order. We had an excellent stay, and I wouldn't hesitate to suggest Hotel Schwalbe to anybody looking to spend some time in Vienna.

The Swallow ladies were very friendly and attentive. They all worked as a team, from the reception to breakfast staff to the cleaner, all were friendly and made us very welcome.

Julie

A really special hotel with many fine aspects. Very polite staff who happily spoke English with us due to our inadequate German. It was lovely to meet Oskar, the very dutiful yet friendly guard dog. The room was bright, clean and wonderfully spacious, and staff went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. It's not in the most central area but all the places of importance are easily accessible by tram/metro.

“Genuine Viennese hospitality”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
There wasn’t a proper desk, just a little side table with two arm chairs, but I really did not miss it.
I loved the high-ceilinged spacious room. The bed and bathroom were comfortable and breakfast nice and filling, with freshly fried eggs. The location was the perfect walking distance from my client, so ideal for me, plus, I felt like I was in a real neighborhood, far from the tourist sites. Lunch or dinner at the nearby restaurant they recommended is also a plus.

“Beautiful and bright room”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 3 nights
The breakfast was tasty and with high quality ingredients, but things run out too quickly (for instance, the serving bowl of yoghurt is too small so it's hard to fill two small bowls even if you empty the lot). I think this is intentional so guests feel obliged to take smaller portions, but it did hamper our enjoyment of the food a little.

“Hotel not as nice as in pictures”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
First of all, the hotel said they have parking, but when we arrived there we saw that there was a public parking and at that hour there were no free parking places. The woman at the reception was anxious to leave because its not non stop reception and we arrived around 21-2200. So she was not very willing to answer questions about how to get in the city center(which is far away!). The room looked like the ones from an old hotel with ghosts, weird smell, cracked sink.
The fact that they had a basket of apples at the entrance.

“Beautiful building, but experience leaves something to be desired”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 4 nights
The breakfast on our first day was frozen solid on the inside and warm on the outside, their dog barked at us and other guests every time we entered the building, and it took the receptionist on duty about a minute every time to disarm the dog. When we brought this up with the owners, they shrugged us off and said this was not a problem. The superior room was bigger than an average hotel room, but not big enough for a desk, which we thought was a shame. Due to the Viennese heat we had to sleep with the windows open out towards the relatively busy street, with the walls echoing sounds from below. Even though soap and shampoo were said to be provided, there was only shampoo and hand wash.
We liked the building and the interior design. Some of the staff (especially the cleaning staff) was nice, accommodating and helpful. It seemed they had put effort into making our stay good, like providing coffee cups and wine glasses. When we weren't given enough towels on the first day, cleaning staff was very quick to rectify this.

“Huge disappointment”
- • Leisure trip

Very old hotel, poorly maintained. Furniture covered with blankets to cover stains, bathroom sink cracked, rag towels. Junk stored in the corridor. The worst was that there is no air conditioner in the room, only ventilator. It was so hot we couldn't stay in the room during the day. We asked for any solution (portable cooler, extra ventilator) but were ignored.
