I'm sorry to write my review so late, since my stay in this hotel was in 2007, but I can't resist to praise it! I have been to many budget hotels in different countries, but Zur Wiener Staatsoper is definitely one of the best! The location is perfect - easy walk to everywhere in the centre of the city, few... more

I've just come back from Vienna and I had a great stay in this hotel. The location is excellent in the heart of the Inner Circle: in only 5 minutes you reach St. Stephen's Cathedral and you are few steps away from the Opera House and the Albertina Museum. The area is also plenty with cafes (Cafe Sacher is one... more

I booked a room at the hotel zur wiener stattsoper based on the recommendation of a friend of a friend who lives in Vienna. Hindsight 20/20 I probably should have researched it more thoroughly beforehand. I later found it featured in the popular Rick Steve's series of guide books with the accurate description "tiny rooms, fans on request." That should... more

The Hotel Zur Wiener Staatsoper is very good at what it does. It is a small European hotel in the heart of Vienna. The location is excellent. Close to the Karlsplatz U-bahn (subway) and the streetcars on the Ring, it is easy to get anywhere Vienna's extensive public transit system goes. The hotel is easy walking distance from the State... more

I have never felt so welcome in any European hotel - from the warm greeting when I arrived, the complimentary glass of Sekt (Austrian sparkling wine) upon check-in, to a tourist map with the hotel location already marked on it, to a note on my bed thanking me for my stay, and the friendliness of every staff member. The breakfast... more

This is a find for those who are budget conscious but still want a great location, great breakfast, great service, and a charming room. The hotel is centrally located, with a nice exterior, small, charming lobby, and a wonderful breakfast room. Our small, clean room was well-decorated, giving us a sense of style and pleasure. The staff were terrific, both... more

This is one of my favourite hotels ever. It's the welcome that really makes this place. From the welcome drink on arrival to the friendly service at breakfast we were made to feel really at home but without ever being hassled. It's location is perfect, near to the Opera, the Cathedral and the city centre. We walked nearly everywhere we... more

This is a good hotel in a great location. They have some rather small, dark, dank rooms, but they will change the room if you ask. Our room was lovely, bright. Breakfast was also good. Right in the walking zone, so it was in the mix of things. more

All the previous reviews are correct. There are some major pros and cons. The pros are: the place is centrally located in the tourist area and the price is very fair. I found the breakfest to be adequate but not memorable. Staff does try to be helpful and polite. The cons are: the rooms are VERY SMALL and if you... more
