vienna hotels
 
Can anyone recommend a hotel in Vienna that's under 60euro? (for Jan). Thanks

Are you looking for a single room? Check out the Admiral Hotel's website. My husband and I have stayed there a couple of times and really like the location and the price. It's behind the Museum Quartier just off the Ringstrasse and Mariahilferstrasse within a short walk to the UBahn and Trams. The rooms are a good size and are nicely furnished and clean. They also have a pretty good buffet breakfast.

The website price for a single is 65 - 75 Euros, but if you contact them directly you can probably get it cheaper, especially for January.

We stayed at Pension Hargita last year. Cheap, clean, even "cute" in a simple way.

The following links to the eurocheapo site description-there are other good choices on that site:

The Fuerstenhof is a great place:

Large buffet breakfast is included and I think they still offer a 10% reduction if you book over the net.
Great staff and close to all transportation. We loved our stay there.

Thnaks. I booked the sister hotel to the admiral, Hotel Stalehner for 60 euro. Still not sure where it is, but their site says it's conveinent.

Well, not to be cynical, but I would expect them to say that it's convenient.

How long will you be in Vienna? If you are only there for a short time, I'm not sure you want to spend a big chunk of your time just traveling from the hotel to the sights. Was the Admiral that much more than the Stalehner?

absolutkz Jan 5th, 2004 07:22 PM

The admiral was about 100. The first price on the website is for a single room. It's been a little overwhelming trying to book 5 cities. I still can't find the Stalehner. Think I found something closer for the same price. If I understand it correctly, it's right behind City Hall. Doesn't seem that far from the Admiral.

Obviously from your reply, you are looking to book a double room. I wasn't clear on that. 60 Euro won't get you a lot in Vienna I'm afraid.

That said, if your plans are firm, Expedia has a few really good hotel deals in Vienna for January. Problem is, you have to prepay in full for your stay.

There are also good deals on Priceline - see www.biddingfortravel.com - and some bids have been less than $50, which probably means a total rate of less than $60 with taxes and fees.

Thanks. Did find a pension for 47euro.

adrienne Jan 8th, 2004 05:56 PM

Please post info on the inexpensive pension you found.

Pension Columbia Kochgasse 9, 1080 Wien. Found it thru inhotels.com.

absolutkz Jan 9th, 2004 07:36 AM

Forgot to mention, inhotels.com was cheaper than the actual Pension Columbia site. Don't know the address, just did a general search.

bettyk Jan 9th, 2004 08:01 AM

I just checked the Pension Columbia website and they list the rate for a double at 47 Euro.

absolutkz Jan 24th, 2004 01:28 PM

Just wanted to say that we are at the Pension Columbia right now, and couldn't be happier. We are a 5 minute walk from the U2 line, and it was a $8 cab ride from the main train station. The room is fantastic. High ceilings, wood floors, standard american double size bed and a futon, desk with mini bar, armoire, and a big (by European standards) modern, seems brand new, bathroom. Did I mention free internet service? All this for 47 euro. So recommend this place, and will return.

adrienne Jan 24th, 2004 02:31 PM

Thanks for posting your opinion. It always great to get feedback! Enjoy Vienna and everything else.

Can any one recommend a nice clean hotel/pension near vienna airport or a hotel close to transportation that leads to the airport. As we are staying only one night in vienna before our flight back.
thanks
