Ruby Lissi Hotel Vienna

This hotel is a very short walk from the Schwedenplatz station. Look for the fitness center sign, which is more conspicuous. They share the same entrance.||First, I am profoundly grateful they let me into my room at 10 AM. I’d arrived on an overnight flight from Chicago and a nap did wonders. Staff were friendly and helpful- when their card reader wasn’t working they checked me in anyway and let me pay later. ||Room was small- not a big concern since I was traveling solo. It could use a fridge. One oddity was needing a room key in the slot by the bed to turn all the lights in or off- but it wasn’t within arm’s length of the bed so you had to climb out of bed first. ||I opted for no housekeeping except a “room refresh” the 3rd day, in return for a free drink at the bar. Good deal. ||I could have added breakfast for 22 Euros per night but although it looked like very good selections when I passed through my last morning, there are dozens of places within a 5- or 10-minute walk. I bought a multi-day U-Bahn pass and ended up using it only twice- from and to the train station for the City Express train to the airport! Everything was so close and the weather was perfect so I walked all over.||Overall, a very good stay.

We had the opportunity to stay at this hotel for one night in April 2025. Our experience was very pleasant. We appreciated the delicious breakfast included in our booking and the beautifully furnished room. The only minor drawback was the absence of a minibar, but everything else met our expectations. The hotel is situated in an excellent location, and the staff were friendly and professional. A nice bonus was the discounted parking. We are happy to recommend this hotel to future guests.

Great location for hotel. 4minute walk from the ferry terminal on danube and 10minute walk to train station MITTE — which takes you directly to airport. ||Rooms were modern, clean and practical. Bed was comfy. |Shampoo and conditioner was also provided, which smelt great. |You were also provided with 2x different body lotions and body scrubs, which again, smelt delicious. |Shower was a rain shower and was great. ||We didnt have breakfast but bar area looked lovely and the staff were super friendly and kind. ||Self check in and self check out was also easy to use. ||Would visit here again. Very relaxed vibes |THANKS!!!

The rooms in this hotel are small, so small that you have to open your luggage on your bed. The hotel is tucked into a building used by other businesses. You can easily miss the entrance to the hotel. I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless you are happy to pay for a four star room and sleep in a tiny hostel room instead.

The Ruby Lissi is in a great location, has larger then average rooms, and was very clean upon my arrival. But where they really shine is in their service, which I believe is second to none! Alex, Nipun, Leon, Sophie & Jakob provided not only phenomenal, and very personal service, but also wonderful recommendations for the city of Vienna. The Ruby team in Vienna, delivered the most incredible, top notch customer experience, that exceeds my stays in Ritz Carlton's and other hotels that cost 10X the amount. Lili delivered the best service of any hotel employee I've stayed at, and constantly went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. I spend 60-80 nights a year in hotels due to business travel, and she absolutely is the most wonderful hotel employee I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is an absolute gem, and they are incredibly lucky to have her as a member of the team. Thank you very much Ruby!

Great low cost (no frills) boutique hotel! Excellent location. We stayed for 2 nights and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful and it was lovely not spending a ton of money on a hotel room that we barely spent much time in.

Came to vienna for wedding anniversary. Chose Ruby Lissi Hotel due to its location everything within walking distance and close to UBahn. Greeted and checked in easily by Alex. All staff friendly and approachable and always smiling. Room well appointed and quiet. Strange not having a kettle but the galley system worked well, we took thermal mugs/flask so still hot in the morning. Continental Breakfast was good and well stocked no complaints here. Over all would stay again if visited Vienna.Lots of restuaunts close by.

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. |Reception staff (Tobias) was very kind, laid back and professional.||Room was functional but more importantly the bed was very comfortable. ||Quiet and cozy but lacking storage / closet for clothes.||Breakfast buffet comes with free flow selection of coffees. Nice touch is are the ginger shots. ||Overall I enjoyed my stay and will stay there again in future.

We enjoyed our stay at Ruby Lissi. The entrance was definitely pretty sketchy feeling, especially after getting off an overnight flight from the US. We were able to "store" our bags while we waited for our room to be ready. The bags were just tagged sitting in the lobby, and my American brain felt that wasn't the safest, but whatever. The rooms were a good size, but I found the set up of the shower and toilet very awkward. Depending on who you're traveling with, it could be concerning, as it's not very private. There was also construction going on, so it was a bit loud in the mornings

Stayed here for 3 nights in July 2018. I don't have enough good things to say about the location (right next to the metro and the river) and the cleanliness. The hotel is extremely modern and the staff are very helpful. There is a self check-in process, which is quick and easy (and located conveniently in the bar). They also offer reasonably priced bike rentals, which is a great way to see the city. The rooms themselves are very clean, reasonably spacious, and have an array of amenities. One thing to note about the room layout, however, is that it boasts partially private en suite bathrooms - the toilet is private, however, the curtain only wraps halfway around the transparent shower stall, so if you are sharing the room with anyone other than your significant other, you should keep in mind that you'll need to set ground rules for staying far away from the bath side of the room when someone is in the shower! I was staying with a close friend, so it didn't bother us too much, but this may be a deterrent for some. The room amenities were top notch - this hotel provides "Handy" phones for guest use - something that I hadn't seen before. These smartphones are fully equipped with cellular service and 3G, meaning you can bring them around the city with you to use for phone calls, Google Maps, etc (and save your own battery for photos)! The room also had a tablet in it for ordering room service and browsing the internet, however, I didn't find it to have as much utility, and could've gone without - especially in lieu of including a different amenity, like in-room coffee. All in all, the attention to detail, modern amenities and location made this hotel a place I would love to return to, and certainly will be recommending to others.

So much yes for this hotel, where do I start? First impression - As soon as you walk in you know you're going to love it. The decor is perfect, adorable and so much to take in. You realize the lobby is a bar and a restaurant so you can tell it's able to transform. It's kind of a weird entrance before you get inside - but don't let that worry you. Check In - The staff were all very sweet. It's basically self check in (bonus for those of us who don't need small talk), and you get your key sent out as if it's a vending machine. So new age, I totally loved it. I had put a request in with the reservation to check in early, and they accommodated - yay! The room - well first thing is they give you a PHONE to use in the city. In case you need to make calls or use the GPS. It was an Andriod, but I won't hold that against them because it did everything I needed to not get lost. I thought this was totally something that "wow'd" me and exceeded my expectations. There was a music player of some kind that would stream or place an older i device. I didn't really utilize it, but I appreciated that it was there. The decor - so modern, incredibly clean - I loved this too. The room was small so it was perfect as a solo traveler, and would be good enough to share with my partner. Might be a little tight to share with a friend. Plus, the shower is completely glass and shares that glass wall with the living room - I love rooms like this. Romantic, again not to share with a friend. The breakfast - was a bit pricey, but it was buffet and they had a tea buffet that you literally got your own ingredients and filled your own bag. Was totally a fan of mixing flavors, didn't regret that decision at all. The food was versatile and somewhat healthy, I was definitely a fan. Normally, I try not to pay for hotel food because you miss out on a restaurant - but this was well worth it. The staff was sweet and helped me with restaurant recs from authentic, to street food to cool ambiance, I wish I could have tried more. Location was perfect - so close to the train and so close to the walking and biking tour I took. I would 10000% stay here again when visiting Vienna next time! Tea/coffee bar - I almost forgot about this so I had to edit. On the top floor they have a bar area to get fresh teas and coffees - unlimited and always hot. There is a vending machine for random things like food and shoes, but you pay for those things. Do not miss out on the tea/coffee!

Initially... I was worried because the entrance is a bit... sketchy to say the least. BUT once you walk into the hotel, it's very hip and classy! The room is also very clean and chic. Just be aware that the shower room is not completely covered, so if you're staying with a friend, could get a bit weird. They also have a device with Wifi, which you can use outside of the hotel during your stay at this hotel in case you're worried about going over your data. I'd totally go back to this hotel!!

Enjoyed my stay with Ruby Lissi. The room is very modern and comfortable with nice sized bed and large rain shower. Breakfast was very nice with all local and organic items. Dani at reception was more than helpful in giving guidance around the city and purchasing a bus ticket for me. She deserves a nice raise
