What people say

A more old fashioned hotel with a bit more personality than modern ones that all look the same. Staff lovely and very helpful and friendly, while offering a professional service. Excellent breakfast buffet. Walking distance to the main attractions. I communicated direct with the hotel on two occasions by email, and each time I had a reply within five minutes, which I thought was very impressive. We would definitely stay there again.

I would surely use this hotel on my next visit to Vienna. The hotel is located very close to the center, the old city, but at the same time the place of its location is at the nice place near the river. One can easily have business or turistic walks to the center as well as leisure walks along the river.Very good breakfast. A room spacious (double superior room), enough place for a stroller and where to play for the child. The personnel was kindly and the tickets of sightseeing and concert could be bought at the reception.It's location and the staff were excellent. friendly and attentive - well done. Excellent central location by the Donau River, delicious rich breakfast buffet. Hotel gives more that it could be predicted for such money. The booking.com site stated there was an airport shuttle, but we had to find our own way to and from the airport. The cost was minimal and the transportation was conveniently near the hotel but the shuttle claim was misleading.Although conveniently located near the center, the hotel is on a block that is seedy but is undergoing gentrification. friendly staff. You had to pay for internet access, both in room and in the lobby. For the price of the hotel this should have been complimentary. The cost of internet seems out of line with other city hotels these days where for the most part high speed internet is free. (Not sure about the rest of Vienna.) Here we were paying 4Euro an hour when we couldn't find a wireless bootleg network.No complaints, except internet connection did not work. N/A. Walls are probably thin as we could hear even small noises from neighbouring rooms. It looks like another room's bathroom was adjoining our bedroom, just beside our bed and we could hear all toilet flushes, shower noise, farts etc. But this can't change and I would go to this hotel again and again!. Internet location is not private - a small matter.

Hotel information details

Already in the early 15th century, the most important inns for merchants and coachmen were located in the Taborstrasse, which led directly to the city gates. The Hotel City Central’s charter dates as far back as 1729.

In those days it was known as "Weißes Rössl". A little less than 70 years later, in the year 1798, the Weißes Rössl appeared in Vienna’s first-ever hotel guide, the "Wiener Kommerzialschema". Shortly after the turn of the century, the hotel was completely rebuilt and did not reopen until 1921, this time called the "Central Hotel".

Finally, in 1990, the Central Hotel was acquired by the privately owned hotel group of the Schick family and was reopened as a 4-star hotel named "City Central" after substantial refurbishment. Thousands of guests from all over the world call the City Central their home away from home in Vienna.

The friendly and experienced staff will gladly assist guests with any special requests they may have.
