  Excellent location but small rooms

  21 May 2026

  The location of the hotel was excellent for exploring all parts of the city - on the edge of the historic centre, on the ring, and close to multiple public transport options. My room was very small - I was travelling alone but for two people it would have been a struggle - but it was comfortable. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was excellent. Overall, I felt that the price was high given the size of the room.

  Location fantastic. Restaurants superb. Outdoor rooftop pool fabulous

  07 Apr 2026

  This is a quirky hotel but we genuinely found it fabulous. The staff were wonderful, breakfast is fantastic (albeit expensive) the outdoor pool is a lovely add on. Ate in hotel Rooftop Limon restaurant our favourite but that’s just our personal taste. The Austrian restaurant on ground floor is very busy just not our favourite cuisine. Beds super comfy. Shower set up is bit odd but we were mother and daughter so was fine. Look forward to returning and will definitely stay here.

  Quirky

  14 Dec 2025

  We stayed at the Grand Ferdinand in December. We were attracted by the hotel’s location, which couldn’t be better. The best single-word descriptor for this hotel is “quirky”. The decor is quirky, the room layout is quirky, and the vibe is quirky. Positives:Excellent staff. The Concierge, Dimo, is one of the best we’ve dealt with of any hotel we’ve visited. The front desk personnel are professional and very helpful. We also enjoyed the bar and breakfast staff members. Always attentive.The restaurant, Meissl&Schadn, gets very busy, so reservations are strongly advised. We found the food excellent and, yes, the schnitzel is huge! We should have shared one; it would have been ample for each of us.The breakfast is excellent, with ample options and very good coffee. Be sure to book the room rate with breakfast.It’s hard to beat the location - easy walk to the center and to Vienna’s outstanding public transportation system.Could Be Better:Again, weird room design. Limited storage options.The all-in-one body wash & shampoo does neither well.Towels are thin for this hotel’s category.If you sleep with the window cocked or open, you’ll get food smells from the restaurant.

  Mixed feelings

  23 Nov 2025

  An hotel full of surprises! I start with the less good ones: Poor reception corner not giving a good impression at arrival. Dark. Maybe a room facing the outside would have helped. The room was dark and freezing at arrival. Terrible deco, tiles not fitting floor and toilet like in prison with a freezing floor 😅. But comfy bed, pillows, duvet and shower. The lavatory area with this soap plastic bottle!!! Hated it all. But a different awakening was waiting for me when I saw the corridors full of plants and some interesting deco details. Amazing breakfast room with windows and terrace overlooking Viena. Wow! Breakfast offer very good and service very attentive and fast. I always ask myself when rating if I would come back? Yes, but on holidays and with my youngest generation.
