Imperial Riding School, Autograph Collection

One of the best Marriott hotels I've ever stayed at. Central location, near many of the foreign embassies and right across the Greek Orthodox Church. Beautiful view from the higher floors. Service is amazing, very kind, and always trying their best to satisfy you. We also enjoyed the breakfast which is generous and high-quality. The rooms are very big, beautifully decorated, and with high quality finishes. We had a huge bath and a huge shower in our room.

I had a great stay at this hotel! It’s located fairly close to the city center about a 25-minute walk and only a 30-minute drive from the airport. There’s a paid underground parking garage, which was very convenient for us. The reception area is spacious with plenty of seating, and there’s even a café right there which made check-in feel relaxed. The staff were very helpful and attentive throughout our stay definitely one of the highlights. The pool area was nice, and the gym was decent for a quick workout. Breakfast was good with a solid variety of options to start the day. The rooms were modern, clean, and quiet. While there’s not much of a view (just surrounding buildings), the comfort more than made up for it. There are a few restaurants and grocery stores nearby, so you don’t have to go far for food or essentials. All in all, the hotel staff and amenities made our stay very convenient. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re visiting the city!

Excellent hotel ideally located in a very walkable area of Vienna. Many restaurants, shops, trams, the train station, and attractions are within walking distance. The hotel is luxurious with nice, clean, and spacious rooms. Service is excellent! The breakfast buffet is very good with a large selection of items and the staff are all welcoming and friendly. I definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel is a new and clean establishment, conveniently located just a 10-minute drive outside the city center, near the picturesque castle. I was delighted to find a spacious suite room that provided a wonderful upgrade from my previous accommodation. The breakfast is abundant and delectable, offering a wide variety of delectable options. While I appreciate the hotel’s location, I must point out that it could benefit from some improvements in the pool, spa, and gym areas. The gym, in particular, could benefit from more weightlifting equipment. However, the hotel’s easy parking and proximity to a train line make it an ideal base for exploring the city. Overall, I had a great stay at this hotel, and the prices are significantly lower than those in the city center.

My husband and I recently stayed at the beautiful Imperial Riding School and it was a truly relaxing experience - with its stunning architecture and elegant décor creating a beautiful atmosphere, complemented by excellent service throughout our visit. Close to a tram or a 20 min walk into the city, I didn't mind the heat as there was so much to see. It is a centrally located hotel that is near shops, restaurants, etc. I would highly recommend and hope to be back soon!

Great stay. Very clean and modern rooms with a convenient location near the S-Bahn and buses/trams, and within a 30-minute walk to the city center. The breakfast was delicious—especially the fish and fresh-squeezed juices. Only wished for a slightly wider dessert variety. I also had some issues with the credit card requirement, which wasn’t communicated beforehand, but the staff handled it kindly.

The hotel itself is beautiful, and the rooms are very nicely designed. However, the first room I was placed in had a large puddle in the entryway that soaked into the carpet and wood flooring. While they did move me to another room, it was frustrating and inconvenient to have to pack everything back up and switch.

The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are very nice and bigger than some other hotel rooms. The service was fantastic. Overall a great hotel. The AC isn't the greatest, so the room was a bit warm for sleeping during the very hot summer days.

Great Experience. Very Clean hotel and will stay there again. Huge parking area . Room size is big

A very cool hotel - def unique, very pretty, and easy walk to the sights. My room wasn't ready at check in, but they were kind about it and I was using my points so, I can't complain too much! Really my only complaint was they had down pillows - but otherwise cool! Notably, the restaurant in the hotel is awesome, 10/10, food was great, coffee was great, service was great.

Visiting Vienna Austria was one of the things on my bucket list. So since we had the chance to travel to Israel, we decided to stop by for a couple of days. I chose the Imperial Riding School in Vienna Austria since it was just walking distance to a train station, a nice walk to the main downtown areas where you find all the happenings but most of all the rooms were newly upgraded. From the airport we took a train, transferred once, then that train took us to the station closest to the hotel. A quick 10minute walk and we were there. The check in was a breeze. The front desk personnel were so polite, courteous and accommodating. We got 2 Superior rooms one with 2 beds and one room with a king bed. But they gave us 2 rooms with 1 king size beds so they decided to add a rollaway bed in the other room since there were 3 of them. That was quite a disappointment since we paid extra to get those superior rooms. The amenities were exceptional, we were even greeted with a welcome dessert platter. So that was nice. But the shower stalls exactly the same as Israel where one side is only covered. At least this one its bigger. Lol. I only had one problem with the rooms.. the overall temperature. I was glad we went there when it was Fall because I can't imagine the summers. But there's no way for us to lower the temp to make it cooler. They said the lowest it'd go is 21 degrees. Yikes. That wasn't too good for a snow queen like me. I reached out to the GM at first since I had trouble taking the temp in..but since there really wasn't anything @he can do about it plus the wrong room they gave us, they offered us free access to the Imperial lounge where we can have breakfast, snacks and light dinner. We only used it for breakfast coz we were gone most of the day touring Vienna. That was exceptionally nice of him. If you need a hotel in Vienna, I highly recommend the Imperial Riding School.

The absolute worst hotel in Vienna. Not only was the bathroom filled with spots of black mold, but the room was a furnace that could not be cooled down. Apparently, none of the windows can be opened, so you have to rely on the front desk to cool your room!!! What on earth would they do this for??? Your guests should be allowed to regulate the temperature in their own room, and not have to rely on the front desk. It took at least four trips to the front desk to tell them our room was well over 80F. Not at all comfortable, so much so that we ended up having to check out and go to another hotel because it was impossible to sleep. With all of the wonderful hotels Vienna has to offer, this hotel is not worth your money. IBIS Mariahilferstrasse or Haupbahnhof are way better at a much better price. And, they allow you to have control of the heating and cooling in your room! UGH...NEVER AGAIN.

We stayed here during a quick visit to Vienna. My friend is a Marriott rewards member and we were able to redeem points to stay for free. That always sweetens the deal :-) We had requested an early check-in after our red-eye flight. Our room was already ready for us at 7:30am. This was a wonderful surprise, so we could take a nap before exploring for the day. The staff was wonderful! They got us checked in quickly, and since they don't have a members floor so we got to choose a members prize from a bowl. We each got a free drink voucher for a beverage from the hotel bar. (We cashed that in later in the evening, and the fruity beverage we got was delicious and refreshing!) Our room was nice. We had a very short stay, but there were 2 separate beds which was nice. The hotel is is lovely inside, very grand. There is a small indoor pool and an exercise area. All of the amenities you'd need. Reliable WiFi, comfortable beds, quiet rooms, friendly staff. Breakfast and snacks and drinks later in the evening are available for those with status (and maybe for a cost?) across the drive in a newer looking building, which also houses conference rooms and more space. Breakfast remains being served until around 11am, I believe. The hotel is located very near the Rennweg train station. Very simple to get to and easy enough to get to anywhere else in the city. It is across the train tracks from the Belvedere palace and grounds. On the day we checked out, we had until 2pm before we needed to head to the Hauptbahnhof, and we were able to store our luggage at the hotel for several hours while we explored the palace and area around the hotel. The staff really was wonderful. I would absolutely recommend it for anyone looking for a place to stay while in Vienna! I wish we could have stayed longer!

The hotel rooms were very clean. They offered executive level service with free coffee; this is excellent because (if you stay in the building across from the lobby) you will get no sleep. The constant arrival of guests their luggage and honking horns will be sure to keep you awake well past 2 a.m. If that doesnt do it, the smoking section is located right next to the front door where you can enjoy cigarette smoke and abnormally loud conversations from Drinking guest well into the wee hours of the morning. Then, the arrivals start again at 6am. Enjoy your stay.

There is nothing special about the hotel outside of the fact it was a former riding school and that it is next to the train station. Decor is old and faded, new TVs are needed. Bed was OK, but it great. One major issue, there a is slight ridge as you walk into the bathroom. Both my wife and stubbed our toes on it. One of the dumbest things I've ever seen in a hotel. After I wrote this, my wife hit the ridge very hard and broke her toe.

I would have rated this place a 5 but there were a couple things that detracted. The location is close to the train station, which is very convenient. The hotel is divided into two, with the Elite access lounge and newer rooms in the building across the lobby. I was not as fortunate to have been given a newer room, but my friend was and the room was very nice. My room was older, not as modern room and lacked a coffee machine and a clock of any kind. The clock was important in my case b/c I had my phone stolen in Vienna. I had no way of knowing or telling time. I had to find a TV channel that had the time displayed or call the front desk. It was an annoyance that almost cost me to miss my return flight home. I requested a wake up call and the call never happened. No one could explain the mishap and they seemed less than interested in helping the situation. I made it home, but no apology or compensation offered.

Nice, safe, clean hotel in Vienna. It was about a 15-20 minute walk to all of the museums. There is a subway station nearby that takes you directly to the train station. We didn't use the buses, but saw a lot of stops outside the hotel. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

This hotel has may have a lower price because it is outside of the Ringstrassa but at the end of your stay, it's no bargain. There is a hefty charge (outrageous compared to other hotels) for in-room internet and the breakfast is wildly expensive. There was free coffee in the lobby but it was empty by 7 am. Additionally, I found the furniture in the lobby rather shabby and our room wasn't cleaned until almost 4 pm. On a positive note, I found the front desk staff very helpful. We stayed there because we were traveling with friends who a devoted Marriott fans. I'm not and would choose a different hotel on my next visit to Vienna

A great deal, this ended up being the least expensive hotel on our 3 week trip. Its not located in the center center of Vienna but is one block away from a major intersection for the trams and a s-bahn stop and half a block away from another tram that's good for getting to the redline quickly. So all in all its a really nice location in a real neighborhood. Being in a real neighbor hood there was a laundry by the kilogram service place one tram stop down as well as non touristy breakfast options near by. The hotel itself is really nice, the old part of it is really only about 1/5 of the entire property while the majority looks like it was built in the late 80's early 90's, however the rooms are nice and well kept. Our appeared due for a remodel as they had redone the bathroom but not the rest of the room, however it was still clean and in good shape, just getting a bit dated looking. The staff were amazingly helpful and knowledgeable. Protip: the base map that's branded with the hotel they give you sucks and sucks hard. however if you ask they have a better 10X better map that's not affiliated with the hotel. I would recommend to anyone going to Vienna and looking for a nice place that's also easy on the budget to stay here.

I stayed at this hotel last June. I had done some research prior to booking it. The photos on the website made it look like some kind of magical hotel in a secluded area that was a dream come true to stay at. My travel partner and I agreed that although it was somewhat pricey, we had to stay at least one night here. Well, I am so glad it was only one night. The lobby was pretty nice, and the employees were nice as well, so that was a good start. But, as we soon found out, this is pretty much a business hotel. Not the fantasy retreat we thought we were going to. We knew once we got in the elevator that it was not all it appeared to be on their website. Our room was nothing special, nothing to write home about. We were very disappointed. The only plus was that is was clean. End of story. It was also very frustrating that it was only free WiFi in the lobby. Needed to take the metro to get to city center, which is fine. Good thing that Vienna is one of the most amazing places I've ever been to and that staying here really made us want to get out and explore even more just to get out of the place.

We have stayed at this hotel for both business and personal reasons and have continually been impressed with the level of Customer Service. This last stay was for business; I had hurt my foot so had to come back to the hotel every afternoon to put ice on it. The catering and dining room staff went out of their way to make sure I always had ice; even running across to the main part of the hotel to get it for me. They couldn't have been more pleasant or professional for our entire stay. Rooms were kept spotless and front desk and dining room staff were top notch. We'll definitely be staying here again!

Hotel was very nice and good surprise in the middle of a more urban area. Was upgraded to the club level across the way from the main building and had a spacious room. This area also included the executive lounge with breakfast, beverages, and food at different times during the day. The lounge was open almost all day and night so you could go in and get a coffee other bottles beverage. Breakfast was really good in the lounge with a good selection of options to eat. The hotel was a few minute walk from a train station that we use constantly to travel to other parts of the city, about $3/person for a day pass. This also included travel to the main train station, Wien Hbf. The underground rail and trains were not overly complicated to figure out, especially if you travel to the city center a lot, like we did. There were not a lot of non-fast food eating options near the hotel. Main room service stops service at 11:00, but so does most of the city, evidently. There is a small after-hours menu to still find something to eat.

First trip to Vienna and booked this hotel thru Delta vacations. I'm a platinum member with Marriott so I chose this hotel for the price and amenities. Very pleased with checking in. I arrived a few hours before the check-in time and was given a room key with no fuss. I haven't had much interaction with the staff other than to say hello or good evening, but all seem to have a friendly smile. With my membership, I have access to the club room. This is located in the building just across the street. It's not really a street like I would call back in the States. It may be an inconvenience to some to have to go outside to get to the club room for cocktails or breakfast, but honestly, it's only a few steps away. The hotel is not centrally located to major tourist areas but is close to the S7 train stop. Literally next to the hotel. It cost €3.90 from the airport to the hotel and was very simple to make the transfer with one BIG piece of luggage (I stowed it under the table at my seat). I debated on purchasing transport tickets but went with the Big Bus tour bus. I think it was €32 for 2 days with an extra 3rd day free and includes the night tour. I mention this because the nearest connection is at the Belvedere Palace/Museum. The walk takes me about 15 minutes to get to the stop. This bus tour stop is the Blue line. Once on the bus, just hop off at city center to see the sites in town (walking to the city center is a good 20 minute walk - did this on my first day here). Once in the city center, jump on the red line (or Blue) and all the stops are at or near the major attractions. For me, being alone and not fluent in Deutsch, this was by far the easiest means of transport. The room at the hotel is typical. I had a king size bed, non-smoking room. I'm accustomed to the States Marriott providing 2 bottled waters a day. Not here, nor is there a coffee maker or tea pot in the room. I've read that if you request it, it would be provided. But I've not had a need for coffee/tea since I've used the club room. Also, my other Western Europe travels have had power converters in the room (Italy to Ireland), but I did not see any in this room. Glad I brought my own, but with an "upscale" hotel, I would think it would have provided one in the room. Perhaps it's like the coffee maker, provided upon request. Dunno. I've done most of my dining in town. I don't believe there are very many choices close to the hotel. Of course the hotel has its own restaurant, but if you want options, another lodging location may be a better option unless you don't mind the walk. So, if your looking for a very decent room, not so bad location and affordable price, this may be a place for your next Vienna stay.

Truly one of the nicer hotels I have ever stayed in. I was upgraded to an Imperial Club room so I can't speak for the other rooms, but my room was wonderfully appointed. Had a stunning view of the Russian Church from my window. A nice 15-minute walk to the city center. Nothing to complain about here.

Lease extend our thanks to Thomas at the front desk for all of the great restaurant tips! We enjoyed everything he suggested immensely and he took the time to point out locations on the map. This hotel also has a great breakfast complete with omelet and bloody Mary bar. Thanks for a great stay!

Great hotel with a convenient location to central Vienna. The best part though is the helpful Ned friendly staff, especially the front desk and Susanne in particular! We will definitely stay here again.

Amazing hotel. Little hard to get to but totally worth it. As a Marriott Rewards Member, I got to do the "lucky dip".

The Imperial Riding School hotel was one of the nicer hotels the husband and I stayed at while in central Europe. The rooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable (although they put us in two twins... not so romantic for a honeymoon), the bathroom was clean, large, and came with nice toiletries (Tokyo Milk or something). The best part of this hotel was the buffet breakfast. This was a good breakfast buffet. They had great pastries, including a croissant filled with nutella... oh ya. They also have a cook making eggs and omelets fresh for each person. They have a wide variety of breads, cheeses, meats... pretty much anything you could want, they have. The only downside to this hotel is the location. It's located in the 3rd district, which is fine, but it is a bit of a walk to the first district or any of the other districts. Luckily, we got metro passes and the 0 and 71 both run close to this hotel, making the location infinitely better. I would recommend this hotel for your next stay in Wien.

This hotel is definitely the best during our 5-nights trip and we stayed for one night for two times. The club lounge is well-designed and service is very good as well. Open early and close late, you always can find plenty of food or beverage most of time you needed. The location is also very good, you can easily take tram, bus and train to most of places in Vienna.

Worse Renaissance ever. No WiFi in rooms. Only one working printer in business center for printing boarding pass and NOT even free. We asked the front desk to make a restaurant reservation for us and they told us it was booked for the next week but when we stopped by we got a reservation for 8:00.

Just ok, had everything we needed... just didn't go over and above or wow my expectations. However, well priced, a little far from downtown Vienna, but nothing the metro can't take care of. So so food options nearby.
