Novotel Wien City

"Avoid this hotel. You cannot trust the word of registration desk personnel, in my case I requested info whether breakfast is included, answer was yes. My original reservation document had disappeared. Four times, on different mornings, I requested this same information and answer was yes. In the end of stay it was not and we were asked to pay €27/person which is very expensive and not worth it! Do not trust the personnel, they cheat you. Service was non-attentive and dull, customer is always wrong here."

"Not a fantastic start to our stay in Vienna. We booked an Executive Room for a family of 4 and paid the extra tariff for it. The photos on the website are a little misleading. We certainly didn’t get a better room, a view, or a balcony. Of course I did ask and there was no rooms with either of these available. Compensation, two bottles of juice and one set of bathroom amenities between four of us. We didn’t get any of the ‘extras’ this room offered until I asked for them, which we really shouldn’t have to do. The fold out couch had one single bed cover, again I had to ask for a second cover as there are four of us. The young staff member came to the room and gave us a second cover, not exactly apologising. Over all really disappointing, we have stayed in Novotel all over the world and this one could do better to uphold the brand name. For the money I think we could have found better accomodation in this area. The young guy who checked us in was lovely, and he did try to help but clearly management weren’t interested. Won’t stay again."

"Hotel is a small boutique hotel. Our room was very small and cold! There was no heat in the room and the bathroom floor was like ice. The best they would do for us was give us a Dyson heater to use in the room but that didn't solve the bathroom issue as the bathroom was divided from the main room by a small door! Secondly the shower/tub would not drain properly so had to leave the stopper out. Also, if you have any mobility issues beware, to get into the shower you have to step over a 4 foot ceramic wall and there are no bars to hold onto. As my husband said, it's an okay hotel if you are staying one night, in and out, but we were there for three so felt quite cramped and uncomfortable. Front staff were friendly enough though I think they were a little overwhelmed by all the people checking in and out. They do have a restaurant onsite but found it rather expensive, especially when you have restaurants all over Vienna within walking distance. One last note, they do provide a mini fridge but it's empty!"
