    Breakfast was exquisite and served à la carte, with delicious vegan options available. The hotel is located right by the shopping street, yet the rooms were very quiet and perfect for restful sleep.

    The AC was not great. I also think I would like it more if there was some kind of curtain that closed off the bathroom area.

    I loved the atmosphere of the hotel, beautifully decorated. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. The proximity to the Ubahn station was a bonus.

    Unique, cosy and welcoming hotel. Would stay again!

    Although the breakfast sounds worth it as a treat, it's rather pricey. An alternative, slightly more affordable option could be nice. Only a couple of very minor complaints on the room: one bed-side shelf didn't have its only plug, which was a bit awkward for charging phones. It was also slightly lacking in storage space, so we had to be a bit inventive on how to organise our clothes for the week. But this wasn't really a big problem at all.

    A very stylish hotel, they really run with the theme and you'll either love that or not I suppose. We loved it. The staff were really helpful and friendly, making us feel really welcomed. We really liked the bar in the evening, although it is rather pricey (although I guess you're paying for the atmosphere). There's a nice lounge area, which we often met in, in the morning, for a quick (free) coffee before heading out. We didn't have breakfast (again, it's somewhat pricey), but another vegan couple we were visiting with said it was great and we regretted not trying it for at least one morning. Our room was lovely: clean, nicely decorated and cosy, with well-chosen decorations and lighting.

    I liked everything, but people with mobility challenges should note that it’s not fully accessible. There are are several steps up from the ground level to the reception and elevator; from the elevator on the third floor, I had to go down several steps to get to the room. This was all fine for me, but if you have trouble with stairs, this might not be comfortable for you. (I did not ask about accommodations and perhaps they have alternatives to the stairs. The staff is very attentive.)

    The design is top notch and really sincere… this is not a boring box hotel that they dressed up with some art… every detail is thoughtful, authentic, rich. It’s a sincerely cool and comfortable place! The absolutely sensational breakfast that can be served to the room at no additional charge felt like a true luxury. Even staying in the smallest single room, this place felt like a treat. Returning to a (very average and fine) chain hotel for the next part of my trip was real let-down that underscored just how great it felt to be at Die Josefine.

    The elevator was a little slow. The tables in the room and the breakfast room were also a little small. These are relatively minor complaints but slightly bigger tables would be much nicer. But nothing else to complain about.

    This was my second stay at Hotel Josefine and everything was quite impressive. The location is really nice and close to the center. The hotel itself is quite charming and romantic. The room was very clean. The staff is very kind and attentive. The breakfast is incredible.

    I was a bit surprised to find that my room didn’t have a kettle or tea/coffee facilities, which was a little disappointing after a long day. I tried to use the 'honesty bar' downstairs, but it seemed very self-service - the coffee machine was tucked away in a cabinet, and after being out all day, I didn’t really feel like wandering around the hotel trying to figure out how to get a cup of tea.

    A fantastic small hotel with a super stylish design and a unique, interesting room layout. The location is excellent - right next to a metro station, with plenty of shops and cafés nearby, and within walking distance to the city centre. The bed was unbelievably comfortable, probably the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced in a hotel, making it hard to get up in the morning! The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and a true pleasure to interact with throughout my stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would happily return.

    The hotel was one of more unique and memorable hotels I have stayed in. Very clean with the most wonderful decor! I did not have the breakfast, as we had early morning sightseeing, however the lounge Barfly was very cool and the reading/music room was perfect for sipping a cup of coffee.

    The staff - from waiters to receptionists - was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to advice what to see in Vienna. Delicious breakfast (a'la carte) in a stylish restaurant. The room itself was very beautiful (its decor is irreplaceable), spacious yet cosy and clean and fully equipped. Additionally, the hotel is located near the underground station, so it is a great starting point for sightseeing.
