BENEDIKTUSHAUS Das Gästehaus des Schottenstiftes im Herzen Wiens

I am so glad we found the Benediktushaus for our sister-trip to Vienna in early December. The location was fantastic for us visiting the Christmas Markets - especially the Altwiener Christkindlmarkt literally just outside the door. We were a 10 minute walk to Stephensplatz, the Rathaus and the Hofburg complex. If anything was further out, transit was easily accessible. |The rooms were very standard, but comfortable. There was plenty of room with shelves, a closet with hangars, a good-sized ledge in the bathroom, a working towel heater, etc. The bedding was comfortable, the towels were adequate. Shampoo/body wash was provided, but no lotion or conditioner. The hairdryer was dated... but we didn't stay here for luxurious comforts. |As mentioned in other reviews the European-style breakfast was very nice and the staff was always helpful if something was running low. |We were on the second floor (the same floor as the breakfast room), and enjoyed sitting out in the shared area in the evenings since we were in 2 different rooms. |We arrived during business hours, but if you arrive after-hours, you will need to pay attention to the instructions they provide to you. The doors are locked in the evenings and your key is needed for access. |We used the spiral staircase to get to the 2nd floor, but the small elevator is available. The elevator is in the center of the spiral staircase, so it is small. There are also several small steps before you get to the elevator, one step up at the exterior door and another step up to access the elevator. |The staff are great and very welcoming. This was really a very good value for staying in Vienna city center.

Amazing location in the middle of town close to almost all attractions and tons of great restaurants. Rooms are large, bathrooms are small but manageable, breakfast was good and staff are very kind. Only area for improvement is the beds could be more comfortable

It was a most wonderful place to stay in Wien. It has everything: perfect location, exceptionality and charm, impression to do not forget, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, breakfast. I wish that no one finds this place for us to have the possibility to book it again!

We had a very pleasant three night vacation in Benediktushaus in September. ||Very nice and especially helpfull and great staff, the silence, clealiness, peace and not last the very good location in central Vienna put Benediktushaus top on our list of accomodations in Vienna.||We had good and plentyfull breakfast, so we could visit Vienna super energized.||We will definitely come back to our new friends in Benediktushaus.||Family from Bucharest, Romania

I don’t like giving a place a bad review, but under the circumstances I must. My daughter and I had planned this trip to Vienna for a year to see Taylor Swift. The concert was canceled and because the hotel has a three day cancellation rule, we missed canceling by one day. So we had to stay there. I know that rules are rules, but grace and understanding go a long way. And then….since there are no tv’s in the room, we couldn’t watch the nationally televised Eras tour movie.

Clean, quiet, and peaceful. The staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms are spic and span. Best Christmas market in Vienna is outside the door. The Freyung is safe and a wonderful area to wander. Breakfasts are tasty with eggs (in the basket), bread, tea/coffee, fresh fruit, and a variety of meat/cheese. Powerful shower and plenty of space to hang / store clothes.

Beautiful location in the Schottenstift. Located within easy walking distance to bus/subway stops, this quiet accommodation allowed us to relax at the end of each day without the normal noise/hustle of other city locations. An excellent experience overall. Staff was friendly and gave a couple of nice recommendations for restaurants in different parts of the city. The elevator is small, but really fun! The room was clean and well kept, and the breakfast was satisfying. Be advised that since this is in an older building, they don’t have central air conditioning. The room was furnished with a fan that will keep the room cool enough (we needed it since we were there during the heat wave).

A very pleasant place to stay. You feel at home while experiencing at the same time its history and culture. Ideally placed to visit Vienna. Large and comfortable room, extremely clean. Very good and rich breakfast. Thank you all for your kind welcome.
