Renaissance Wien Hotel

Basically a nice hotel in a very good location. We cannot confirm the often-cited unfriendliness of the staff after the 5th visit. Whoever is annoyed about the expensive garage spaces: Park the car in the P&R Hütteldorf, about 4 €/day. But: This time we had a room on the 6th floor near the 24-hour fitness room above. Until midnight and from 6:00 in the morning, the dropped weights thundered, making it impossible to think of sleep. So be careful when booking!

Good overall :-) Quick check-in, clean room, comfortable bathroom. The hotel is neat and quiet. Personal is friendly and the atmpsphete is welcoming. Near to the castle, one bus stop or 30 minutes walk. Value for money is good but I didn't opt for breakfast to make more of our short visit.

After having stayed dozens of times in central Vienna, we chose Schönbrunn for this stay. And we did not regret the decision once. Very pleasant experience from start to end. Check was a bit slow as there was only one staff member at the desk and that one desk had a complicated case to solve (unrelated to this review: why is it that front desk nowadays also do IT support and Concierge services whilst others wait with their bags in their hand to check in - Concierge desk would make sense). A couple minutes later, two other staff members showed up and we got check in quickly and friendly. Got a very nice room on the 5th floor overlooking the small creek. Spent that afternoon sightseeing on foot - Schönbrunn castle is some 15 minutes away. Had a nice dinner and then went back for a night up at the bar - they indeed have a well stocked and perfectly managed bar. Back to the room and to bed. Room was spacious, nice, clean with plenty of amenities. Breakfast: very busy! Check-out: friendly and speedy. Car was parked downstairs so within no time we were on our way. Nice place and certainly worth checking out. And - as always - for the price we paid (less than EUR 140) certainly some very good value for money.
