After staying in some higher priced hotels in Munich and Salzburg, I was worried about what to expect from this hotel considering the low price. I did not need to worry. We had room 207 facing the inside of the hotel, no view but we did not care. Room was a little small but not unmanageable by any means. Everything... More

I stayed at the Hotel City Central in Vienna in late May 2013. I selected this hotel after lots of research on Tripadvisor. I chose this hotel because of location, price, and its ability to handle car parking. The hotel location is great, just a block walk down to a bridge which takes you into the city center. As others... More

The location of the hotel was great. Although in a very quiet area, it was just 1 min away from the river and 5 min walking away from the city center. The rooms, hotel and service were OK given the price we have paid. However, for our last night we moved to another room in order to accommodate one more... More

I have been staying in Hotel City central on several occasions. It is situated on Taborstrasse, near the Danube Canal, just outside the city center. The atmosphere is pleasantly Viennese, friendly and a little old fashioned. But in the good meaning of the word. The rooms vary in size from spacious to relatively small. All have an ancient 'inn' flavour.... More

We had the pleasure of visiting Vienna and the City Central hotel in the early (very early) spring and we thought very highly of the hotel. It is a little outdated but the location is very good only a short walk to "Downtown". The staff was helpful and serviceminded especially in the breakfastroom. The room was ok but a little... More

I recently spent a week here on a visit to Vienna with my family. I have to say that I have stayed in some 5 star hotels in the past and didn't have the same positive experience we had here. Firstly, the location is outstanding in terms of walking access to the old town of Vienna, you are minutes away... More

Very nice hotel, great location, just minutes walk from the city center, attractions and underground station. The street the hotel is on is also very nice. We had a lovely room with a balcony. The food at the breakfast was excellent as well and staff is very attentive and helpful. Would definitely go there again.
