Beautiful location in the Schottenstift. Located within easy walking distance to bus/subway stops, this quiet accommodation allowed us to relax at the end of each day without the normal noise/hustle of other city locations. An excellent experience overall. Staff was friendly and gave a couple of nice recommendations for restaurants in different parts of the city. The room was clean and well kept, and the breakfast was satisfying. Be advised that since this is in an older building, they don’t have central air conditioning. The room was furnished with a fan that will keep the room cool enough (we needed it since we were there during the heat wave).

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 .

Nothing

Great spacious room with hot shower and comfortable bed. Continental breakfast was great. Check in was easy. Hotel was in an excellent location in the middle of the city. We walked to everywhere from this hotel. The hotel is actually a B&B so is not like a traditional hotel. It is situated in a very old Benedictine Abbey. We were pretty much left to ourselves once we had checked in. We had an actual room key that opened our room and the main door from the street, so we had to be careful not to lose it. Rooms were cleaned daily if needed. We loved the fact that our stay was a little different and not the usual hotel experience.

Everything was great but I did worry that our key opened our room door and the two main Abbey doors so if we lost it they would have to change the locks on the main Abbey doors. The hotel is not flash but the room was very comfortable.

This hotel exceeded all expectations. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, making the stay truly special. The building has the charm of a historic church with a serene, monastery-like atmosphere in many areas. The upper floors, however, have been renovated and feel more modern, offering a different experience. While the hotel retains some of its religious character, it provides a welcoming environment for guests of all backgrounds. After checkout, I was able to borrow a key to the luggage storage, allowing me to explore Vienna city until the evening. Picking up the luggage afterward was simple—I just returned the key to the front desk. It was a huge relief to have my belongings securely stored. The breakfast buffet was also delicious and offered a great start to the day. Highly recommended!

Goia at reception was very nice, so was Baljidcor at the breakfast. Great coffeemaker machine. Correspondence was punctual & efficient. Firm beds very comfortable. Loved the historic building & location. The baroque church was stunning & very convenient for Sunday Mass & the organ music was a lovely bonus. Would definitely stay here again on a future visit. Be aware that reception closes early & you need to let them know if you have a late arrival. They’ll leave your key outside in a lockbox, which works very well.

We were absolutely satisfied with our stay at Benediktushaus, it even exceeded our expectations. + Prompt and efficient communication with the reception office. + Adorable location - as soon as you exit the monastery, you'll find yourself in the beautiful Freyhaus Christmas market. + Peaceful and quiet atmosphere of the place. I appreciated the absence of the TV, since we never turn it on anyway. + Photos don't do justice to the place. From photos I expected a very spartan room, yet it was comfy, spacious, and had everything we needed. +Luggage storage room in case you need to store your luggage after checking out. It's highly likely that I will choose this accommodation for my next stay in Vienna.

My wifi kept crashing, and I had to repeatedly connect to the network, yet it worked, so it wasn't a big problem for me.

This is my second time staying at Benedikthaus. It was as good as the first. It is tremendously quiet, centrally located, with a comfortable and simple room. The breakfast is also wonderful - I dream of that breakfast!

Nothing! It was perfect for me, though I could see some travelers wanting a television in their room. I don't -- it's nice to have a meditative, quiet space.

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.

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

This is great place if your focus is prime location and reasonable pricing. Everything is in walking distance. This is not typical American type of hotel so setup your expectations accordingly to hostel environment. Breakfast was awesome everyday. Baljit Kaur made our visit memorable with her kind hospitality and service working with Lisa.

Bed was small and not very comfortable. Your source of water is tap water unless you bring water bottle.

Breakfast very good, nice breakfast room. Different from chain hotels.

We stayed on the third floor and we had 32C in our bedroom when we got there in the evening. The room is equipped with a Dyson fan, but it wasn't enough. I was ready to change to another hotel, but fortunately, the lovely receptionist found another fan in an unoccupied bedroom. We would love to come again, but to stay on a second floor, which felt much cooler and some bedrooms had trees outside to shade out the heat
