expert reviews of cheap hotels in Vienna

Adjacent to Schwedenplatz, the 46-room Hotel Austria offers a rare combination of good value, a wealth of amenities, and an attentive staff.

Remaking and modernizing the tired Viennese style prevalent in many hotels, the four-star Baronesse's sleek rooms are some of our favorites.

Pension Dr. Geissler's 33 rooms may lack high-tech amenities, but for a budget-friendly characteristically Viennese weekend break it can't be beat.

If you're going to splurge in Vienna, consider Hotel Rathaus. Impeccable service and gorgeous details make it one of our favorite hotels in the city.

An elegant aerie off busy Mariahilferstrasse, K & T Boardinghouse is the smallest and one of the best of our Vienna listings.

Offering an experience superior to that offered by many three- and even four-star properties, the two-star family-run Pension Kraml is easily the best value of our Vienna listings.

The Nossek is an august pension operated by the Bernard family. Drenched in history, it's a plain and unpretentious place.

Pension Pharmador is a great choice for visitors on a budget, with large rooms available reached through a courtyard bursting with sculptures and plants.
