About the Hotel

Kirchengasse 41, Vienna, Austria, 1070

Small Luxury Hotel Altstadt Vienna, a 4-star boutique property with a 9.3/10 Booking.com rating, represents an ideal refuge in Vienna's fashionable 7th District where each of the 62 rooms and suites is uniquely designed by renowned architects and artists.

Unique Designer Rooms

Each room at Small Luxury Hotel features parquet floors, high ceilings, and either city or courtyard views, with designs ranging from polarizing and courageous to classic elegance. The Freud Suite offers an immersive journey into the world of the famous Viennese psychoanalyst with specially designed carpets depicting symbolic patterns, while the Moretti Room overlooks breathtaking Tyrolean mountain scenery framed by a stage curtain.

Exceptional Dining Experience

The breakfast service runs until 11:00 on weekdays and 11:30 on weekends, featuring organic bread from Öfferl, fruit juices from Preiß, muesli from Verival, and coffee beans from Cult Caffe. The Red Salon bar, with its red-and-white pinstriped walls and cozy sofas, serves as a sophisticated spot for afternoon tea, homemade cakes, Austrian wine, whiskey, or the hotel's own gin.

Art and Leisure

The Rooftop Terrace offers a green oasis in the middle of the city, open from May to September for drinks and snacks. The property houses a considerable collection of contemporary art including works by Warhol, Brigitte Kowanz, Prachensky, and other notable artists that inspire and allow guests to dwell in the moment.

Central Cultural Location

Altstadt Vienna is located on the Spittelberg in Mariahilfer Strasse, just a few minutes' walk to the MuseumsQuartier, a cutting-edge cultural space in the born-again imperial stables. The neighborhood's narrow lanes are lined with Biedermeier houses sheltering galleries, boutiques, vintage shops, bars and restaurants with an indie vibe, while Kahlenberg offers a breathtaking view of Vienna's beautiful skyline.

Sustainable Hospitality

As Vienna's first hotel to be certified with the Austrian Eco-label, sustainability is paramount with a free monthly pass offered for guests to use on Viennese public transportation. The hotel is committed to environmental responsibility through regional and seasonal foods and conscious use of water, energy and waste management.

The hotel has a very grand feel with high ceilings, spacious bedrooms, and large bathrooms, but some areas seemed scary and old-fashioned. The decor in some rooms was super tasty, offering a unique experience.

The hotel offered a varied experience with positives like central location and friendly service but slight drawbacks in room setup and occasional noise disturbances.

Rooms

The room was significantly different from what was shown in the photos. It was billed as large, fitting for the price, and comprised of two rooms with double beds, ideal for a family. However, it was not directly part of the hotel, and at times, there was noisy walking by another occupant.

My stay at the Hotel Altstadt was a delightful experience. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and comfy, providing a perfect stay for us, although a pull-out queen bed would have been preferable. The staff was very attentive and welcoming, always eager to assist with any request. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the trendy Museumsquartier district, offering easy access to restaurants, bars, and shops. The dining experience was fantastic with great coffee, crispy bacon, and fresh fruit available until 11 A.M.

My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were wonderful, with large ceilings, unique decor, and a beautiful window with flowers in the window box. The service exceeded my expectations with staff who were genuinely helpful and eager to assist in exploring Vienna. The location was superb, close to Vienna's main sites, and the dining experience was excellent with a variety of special dishes and a lovely afternoon tea. However, the dining area could get loud at times, and the lack of some amenities was a downside.

Staying at this hotel was a unique experience. The rooms were designed in a different style, resembling a very comfortable cave within an old building. The modern furniture was amazing, complementing the high ceilings and spacious layout. The Nespresso machine with daily refills, the large desk, and the comfortable bed contributed to a truly exceptional stay. The excellent breakfast served in the restaurant rooms added to the charm of the accommodation.
