Basic hotel in a very good location, not far from City Hall, the Ring and the MuseumsQuartier. The price of accommodation is okay (for Vienna). Room was very basic, old and quite small. Very small bathroom. Please note that this is not a typical hotel, but a student dormitory used as a hotel during the summer, so the standard is... More

I and my girl friend stopped in this hotel for one night. The hotel has very good location. It is possible to reach the Ring in 5-10 minutes by a tram, then it is possible to go to the city center on foot 10-15 minutes or on public transport. From hotel it is possible to reach a stop of a... More

Our expectations weren't that high given the price and the fact that the hotel is student accommodation during the school year. The room is small, but big enough for two people who only slept at the hotel. Beds were comfortable but could have done with some spare pillows. The bathroom was also on the small side. The corridors were VERY... More

I was told that this hotel is student accommodation used as a hotel during the holidays, so I went with that sort of expectation. I had booked a triple and a double room, but then I emailed them to ask for two single beds in the double room (I booked through travel republic and a double was a fair bit... More

I stayed in the Hotel Academia for 5 nights. I was extremely disappointed to see how small a 2 single bedroom was, as my friend and I were very cramped in the room. I walked into my room and there were insects on the wall, however the beds and bathroom seemed very clean besides this one incident. The breakfasts, I... More

We ovecame our fear of the reviews and stayed for 10 nights. We payed £440 including flights from the UK for a hotel that is 4 tram stops from the centre. The room service was every 3 days, but no problem getting towels though you will need shower gel. At reception seek out Stephanie - really helpful. Breakfast is basic... More

My wife and I spent a week in this hotel starting on Aug 27 2011. It is well located; close to the tram that takes you into the old town in a few minutes. It is a large hotel with many floors and has several elevators which is wonderful. The front desk persons were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Internet access... More

Was in Vienna for a conference, stayed for a week. The hotel is 5-10 minutes walk from Volkstheater and Rathaus U-Bahn stations, easily found. Service was very prompt and good. Rooms were clean and basic, with a hot shower. Breakfast was perfectly adequate - cereal, bread, ham & cheese, yoghurt, spreads, hot and cold drinks, (though no real juice, which... More

If you are expecting to stay in a conventional hotel you will be disappointed. The building is a student hall of residence that is used as a hotel during the holidays. If want accommodation to take you back on a nostalgic trip back to your university days this is the place for you!
