4-star boutique hotel with MICHELIN Key 2024 in Vienna's Spittelberg district

Art & Sustainability

Small Luxury Hotel Altstadt Vienna is the first hotel in Vienna to hold the Austrian Eco-label, certifying its sustainable operations. A collective of contemporary art is displayed throughout the hotel, curated from the owner's private collection. Guests receive a free monthly pass for public transportation, covering all zones in Vienna.

Rooms & Suites

Each of the 37 rooms and suites is individually decorated with unique designs, from classic Viennese furnishings to modern art pieces. The rooms include high-quality toiletries, parquet floors, and a selection of original artworks. The hotel offers a range of categories, from cozy double rooms to spacious suites like the Library Suite with a wall of bookshelves.

Dining & Afternoon Tea

A daily breakfast buffet is served until late morning in the Roten Salon, with made-to-order eggs and a wellness shot. Complimentary afternoon tea is offered from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, featuring homemade cakes and pastries served in front of an open fireplace. The on-site bar serves Viennese wine and light snacks in the evening.

Location & Surroundings

The hotel is located in the fashionable Spittelberg quarter, a 5-minute walk from the MuseumsQuartier, Natural History Museum, and Kunsthistorisches Museum. The Volkstheater Underground Station and the Ringstrasse boulevard are reachable within a 5 to 10-minute walk. The neighborhood offers independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, with a more local atmosphere than the city center.

Amenities & Services

A rooftop terrace is open from May to September, providing outdoor seating in the warmer months. The hotel offers bicycle rental for guests who wish to explore Vienna on two wheels. Services include airport shuttle, valet parking, and a 24-hour front desk with concierge assistance for tours and tickets.

Feedback about Small Luxury Hotel Altstadt Vienna from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Altstadt Vienna's fancy and spacious rooms, some highlighting the appeal of specific rooms like nr 12 and suites like nr 15. Its location is a plus, placing you within a comfortable walking distance of the Museum Quarter and other attractions. The breakfast receives high marks for its variety, with the tea time also often mentioned as a bonus; however, some found the afternoon tea sandwiches occasionally running out. For those who enjoy exploring on foot, it's well-placed.

dirty floor soiled headboard
i hate to say it, but my room seemed like the cleaning crew had phoned it in. there was hair on the bathroom floor. some questionable crumbs clinging to the coffee table (gross). and to top it off, the headboard looked like it had seen better days (i mean, seriously soiled). guess i won't be raiding the mini-fridge anytime soon, not after finding leftovers from the previous guest lurking inside (yuck).
