Overview
I remember pulling up to OrestaLiving – BrigittineurLände, and honestly, it was love at first sight. The building’s modern architecture, with its sleek lines and inviting entrance, stood out against the backdrop of the more traditional Viennese buildings that surrounded it. Nestled on 26 Brigittenauer Lände, in the 20th district of Brigittenau, it’s actually a stone’s throw from the Danube Canal, which is a local favorite for leisurely strolls and bike rides.
You know what, the rating of 9.2 really isn’t an exaggeration. From the moment I checked in, the staff’s warmth and efficiency set the tone for my stay. The lobby had this cozy vibe, with a mix of modern and rustic decor that felt both upscale and homey. The rooms were spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in an abundance of natural light, and the beds, oh man, they were like sleeping on a cloud. Plus, the soundproofing was top-notch; despite being close to the bustling streets, it was always peaceful and quiet.
What makes OrestaLiving special, I mean, aside from the obvious comfort and style, is its location. It’s not just about being in Vienna, but being in the heart of it. You’re a short walk from the U1 metro station, which makes getting around the city a breeze. And if you’re a foodie, you’re in for a treat. There’s a fantastic bakery, Backhendlbäcker, just around the corner on Landstraßer Gürtel, where you can get the crispiest, most delicious chicken you’ve ever tasted.
So, why should you care about OrestaLiving – BrigittineurLände? Well, if you’re looking for a 4-star hotel that feels like a boutique experience, this is your spot. It’s not just about the high-end amenities or the friendly service, though those are definitely part of the package. It’s about the little things, like the complimentary coffee in the lobby, the fresh flowers in the rooms, and the way the staff remembers your name. It’s these details that make your stay feel personal and memorable. And in a city as historic and enchanting as Vienna, that’s something special.

Guest Reviews
Nice place, close to city center and subway.
Very quite and clean
The apartment has 2 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen (which is part of the corridor) a bathroom and a toilet. There is a nice dining area and a comfy couch. The apartment is equipped with WIFI and a smart TV, so you can use your own streaming services to watch.
The kitchenette is well-equipped, practical, and clean.
Appliances: washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, water cooker, coffee machine, fridge. All working fine.
The bed-linen, towels and sanitary spaces are impeccable. It was all clean, neat and tidy when we arrived.
The location is great. It is at the Donaukanal, near the Friendensbrücke. On the Friedensbrücke there are stops for tram- and bus-lines. On the other side of the canal, a short walk, is the “Friedensbrücke” Metro station with 2 lines bringing you nearly everywhere. It is an excellent starting point for visiting the many cultural highlights Vienna has to offer
It is very nice to walk along the Donaukanal.
The host provides you with all necessary information and inquires after your well-being with messages through Booking.com. The apartment is on the 1,5th floor of a larger apartment building, reachable by stairs, but there is an elevator too. Take note that, even when you take the elevator to the 2nd floor, you have to take one flight of stairs to reach the apartment, so it is less suited for people with mobility issues, unless helped by their companions.
It is a good base to relax in between your visits of the city.
There are several shops, an ATM (across the bridge on the right), and 2 supermarkets within walking distance. As well as a bio-shop and several restaurants.
Parking is possible, but I discovered that there was a limit. I looked for ticked machines, but they were nowhere to be seen. I have no idea what the rules actually are, but at some point I was awarded with a nicely packaged parking fine by the Vienna authorities. Well, the fine was still cheaper than parking in any Dutch parking garage for 1 afternoon.
Very comfortable and in a safe location not too far from the city center
The place is close to metro, cozy beds, clean a spacious rooms, well equipped, perfect communication, reliable WiFi connection, very quiet in the night, simply a great experience.
Very cozy and clean apartment. You have everything you need. We felt like at home
Clean, spacious for a 2 bedroom apartment, fully equiped kitchen, air condition units in all rooms, self check in/ check out, location close to the metro station.
Apartment was big and clean and lovely for all 6 of us. Having the AC was much appreciated as well.
Clean and spacious apartment. Very well equipped. Near a metro station. Close to the city centre.
The accommodation was enough large, renovated, well-equipped and super clean. Well located, close to transportation, a supermarket, and food spots.
A really great apartment in every way. The location, the cleanliness, the friendliness of the owner - they immediately respond to messages. The apartment is very well connected to the city center, the metro station is a minute from the building, as are the trams. Really comfortable apartment for several people.
