Guest Reviews
Simple, quiet and well-appointed with a superb breakfast in a central location to innerstadt.
Location can't be beat. And breakfast was delicious. And the hotel was super generous to also offer breakfast gratis to my friend who was also visiting Vienna—when I enquired to pay for him and his company the morning of my stay. And the entire space is simple but wonderfully appointed and quiet.
What could be improved: Shower was a bit tricky. Sprayed out quickly so I had to use the bath mat to sop up the water. An extra shower mat might be nice for those just in case
Amazing peaceful place
Amazing stay, so peaceful, so central, people so nice.
What could be improved: Nothing, even with heat and 35deg C it was amazing
I enjoyed it
Quiet, comfortable and very clean. Close to touristic places
A very restful stay inside the walls of a 1,000 year old Abbey!
A beautiful, serene stay inside the old Abbey! Very clean, nice nightly breeze through the open window of an inner courtyard. Excellent location for walking to many restaurants and shops!
What could be improved: There was nothing that we didn’t like!
Superb
The Benediktushaus is superbly located in a quiet part of Vienna's inner city. It is in walking distance from a lot of important sights to see. The rooms are well equipped except for air conditioning and a small refrigerator. Breakfast is delicious and plenty.
What could be improved: We missed a small refrigerator in the room.
This is the best value for location and breakfast that I have ever stayed in . It was also so peaceful and breakfast in
It was in an absolutely beautiful square in Venice . It is very close to the Grand Hyatt which tell you the value of the location. As a woman travelling for a work conference alone , I felt very safe . I often went for dinners and didn’t get back until after midnight . There are two I hand nearby for U2 and U3 so it was very convenient for Messe Prater conference centre . The breakfast was fantastic with fresh bread and rolls every morning . It was lovely to sit quietly in the church for a few minutes after a long day . Everything was very clean and staff were so polite and told me all about the history of the monastery . It’s so nice to have a part in keeping it running by staying here .
What could be improved: Nothing
