Imperial Riding School Renaissance Vienna Hotel - Vienna

A little bit distance from city center (20 min walking). Otherwise, a charming hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Initially, I came to visit my husband at a sister hotel to the Imperial Riding School which had been organised via his work as he was there on training. We had already pre-booked the Imperial Riding school prior to our visit as the pictures looked promising and the reviews weren't too damaging (we also had to take our budget into consideration). Upon […] arrival the reception staff were cold and made us feel as if we were bothering them from their work. The room which had been allocated to us was a twin room despite us booking a double. When we highlighted this to the reception staff they were a little unhelpful and stated that they were booked to full capacity. After some discussions about our booking they agreed to move us to a double room which looked over-all better. Unfortunately our room was on the ground floor and we were often kept awake by loud high heeled footsteps by other guests outside our room. The restaurant was bland, slow and limited and very over-priced. Extremely rude staff member working in the gym who will huff and puff and bad mouth other guests. Read more

Excellent service, friendly stuff. Very flexible and cooperative. Only slight drawback is the location which is not very central but overall - great value for money!!

The room was the largest in my 6 city tour of Europe. Clean , large, a/c worked well. Very helpful staff.No free WIFI , a surprise for such a nice hotel. Easy to get to. From the airport we arrived at the Landstrasse metro stop and caught a tram just outside the station. The tram stops about a block north of the hotel.Its an easy walk.

It was warm, so the pool was extremely crowded, and it was not for hotel guests only.

This is a very nice hotel, but it seems that NOTHING is included in your room price. Breakfast and wifi cost extra, and the hoops that you have to jump through to use the wifi are crazy. You only get 1 device logged on to the Internet at a time, whether it is wireless or hardwired. No wifi in the rooms. Breakfast was good, but too expensive.

fine

Nice hotel in Vienna. Responsive staff, clean (although smaller then advertised) room and an extremely nice (included with room) breakfast buffet. The only true negative about the stay was the almost extortionist wi-fi rates ($20/night)! Nicely situated next to a subway line and just down the street from a nice coffee shop and a very nice Viennese restaurant. […] Try the schnitzel at the restaurant directly across from Cafeterially (coffee shop)!

Big, clean and nice. Breakfast is a great spread. Rooms are large and the beds are comfy. A few nice restaurants in short walking distance (Salm Brau!). Stroll into the city past good sites in 15-20 minutes. This place is out of the way in a good way because you're still right in the city for a good price. Walk across town and visit all the xmas markets […] in a day! Read more

pros: good breakfast nice clean room bed big enough for 2 people and infant quiet location next door to underground/train and tram train form airport brings you directly to hotel very good service hotel staff helpful and courteous next door to Belvedere and botanic garden(which are both gorgeous) close to shopping area(15 mins walk) cons: not walking […] distance to down town/city center, have to take tram or underground (10-15min, which is not at all bad and very very convenient once you understand the routes) not a lot of restaurants in the area (however plenty of bars). for restaurants have to go to the shopping area.

The Hotel, room, and bed were clean and comfortable. Front desk help were reasonably friendly and efficient. A solid business hotel, but would not recommend for tourists or those looking for a romantic get-away. Neighborhood is OK, but not convenient to key historic sites within the Vienna "Ring". The additional cost for Breakfast is outrageously p […] riced. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel itself was pretty good. Breakfast was outrageously expensive(36 Euros/person) so we chose not to eat there. The location was a bit out of the way except for proximity to the Belvedere Museum and gardens. Next time I would select an hotel closer to the center of the city.

We loved staying in this hotel with its old world style design and traditions. The room was clean and big and the King bed very comfortable. Breakfast buffet was awsome. I did not like that Wifi gets charged in the room and in the lobby. Other than that perfect stay. Friendly staff and only two or three tram stops away from the city center. Tram is […] right behind hotel (garden back door). The Vienna card can be purchased at the reception. It costs 18 Euros and will allow you to use any public transit within Vienna for 72 hrs. Very convenient. The card also provides you with discounts to museums, the Hofburg, Schoenbrunn, etc. Read more

The hotel is beautiful and the setting so serene, especially the garden. Nina at the front desk was most helpful to me when I needed assistance. The restaurant for breakfast and dinner included delicious food and delightful service! We just wished we had stayed longer!!! I reply for three travelers.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I liked the hotel, despite it being rather large and impersonal. The staff is very polite professional and genuinely welcoming. The restaurant could definitely do with a more extensive menu. The swimming pool is quite nice, albeit rather cold. I had a view of the beautiful Russian church from my window which was great.

The hotel rooms were quite ordinary - satisfactory but not special. A metro station is one block away. It was easy to use public transport to see the sites of Vienna and to get to the airport. A fantastic buffet breakfast was included with the room - we enjoyed that very much. The hotel staff was mixed -some extremely helpful and some a little curt. […] Hotel public rooms are lovely.

This hotel was much better than expected. When we pulled into the driveway that leads up to the entrance "Oh Wow" is exactly what we both said. Can't really tell from the street, but Oh Wow. The staff was extremely helpful. The health center and pool were incredibly nice. The location was great, especially after we mastered the tram system. Breakfast […] was not included (seemed like that was the case in most Vienna hotels) and like most hotels in Europe was very expensive. We found a great place on the corner with Vienna melange coffee and danish. Do not hesitate, this place was the bomb. Read more

Only spent 1 night there, arriving in the late afternoon leaving before breakfast. However in the short time and at a quick glance the hotel looked lovely. The staff a reception were very friendly, the 3rd bed was brought up to the room within a few minutes. Spent a few minutes in the lobby waiting for friends and it did not take long for bar-staff […] to come asking if I would be wanting anything. Beds very comfy and the room very clean!!! Will stay again /recommend. Read more

My hotel room on the ground floor was very tired: chipped paint work, loose carpet. In-room movies and internet use are very expensive. There is no WiFi in rooms, only in the lobby. In contrast, many Viennese cafes have free WiFi. I doubt the 4-star rating. Service was very good. The restaurant was not open twice when I went to use it -- a light meal […] in the (noisy) bar area was the only option. Read more

Pros: -Hotel is in a very good location, next to the train station that is connected directly to the airport and very close to the historical part of town (tram 71 takes you there in less than 15 minutes). -Room are of a good size and very clean -Quiet hotel Cons -TV's in the rooms are old and channel reception is quite bad. -No wifi in the rooms and […] internet is charged at 16Euros per day at the reception -Staff have a very "Austrian" attitude which is not so customer friendly as one would expect in such a hotel Read more

Excellent hotel and great food especially the included breakfast. The room was nothing special and the movie package was expensive. The only complaint is that the bathroom shower was too low to shower comfortably without taking the hand shower off the wall. Staff very helpful and sent our mail for us. Swimming pool a bit cold but very well maintained […] and great to have. Read more

Reasonable hotel. Staff very freindly. Twenty minute walk from city centre but local trams get you there in five. Hotel could do with a little updating, a bit 1995 but served it's purpose. It's worth getting a package that includes breakfast as they charge €31.00 for full English. Over all, good value for money.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The staff were excellent, happy to help and they knew their stuff. The hotel exterior was nice but sadly the interior was shabby and there were stains on the wall and the TV didn't work properly - in addition the room that I received was no where near the quality of those in the photos. Also the view from my room was of a road and concrete wall. The […] location was pretty poor too, quite a way from the city centre and although trams passed close by I didn't find the public transport to the city centre very convienient. Read more

a spacious hotel which works hard to make your stay comfortable.good beds and reasonably sized rooms but small things missing like stationery.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Absolutely excellent down to the last detail. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. We will definitely book this hotel again the next time we visit Vienna.

A little out of town & have to pay for WIFI

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I thought it was a very good experience the only issue is their internet connection, otherwise I enjoyed my stay very much. the staff were amazing, especially at the front desk.

Genuine Expedia guest review

A lot more went into the lobby than the rooms - it was pretty, but did nothing to help me sleep. The shower had a tap and head that pulled away from the wall, exposing the wall to leakage. Also, a few really unnecessary fees, like for internet access. Sure, 14.95 might be a standard commercial rate, but I could go across the street for a beer I would […] have had anywhere and use their internet gratis. Policies like that actually cost the hotel some of my money. The beds were comfortable, and the location just away from main downtown gave it a more relaxed feel. But the lack of competition meant it didn't really need to try hard (enough) to provide what other places might have done. Read more

Had a beautiful stay in Vienna , the weather was hot and sunny and the excellent hotel was an added bonus. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. It was lovelly, being able to sit in the garden and enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Would definetly recommend to a friend .

Very good hotel; 20 minute walk to city centre. Excellent restaurant reasonably priced as a hotel. Would happily stay there again

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here, as we come to Vienna regularly to visit friends and family. We find it easy to get to, with a good regular service from the airport which means we can check-in an hour from landing. Staff are welcoming. Rooms are good size and clean.

Excellent hotel with super staff. Really good value for money.

The hotel is OK - but it is better to stay somewhere in the city centre if you are on vacation...

Location a little bit further than i would have wanted but a nice quiet location, easy to find with the car. Room and staff fine, shame that the cooked breakfast was cold (three mornings in a row).
