Vienna hotels near Wiener Staatsoper

Cons: - Spotty internet. Only chance you get internet is in the evening time so for the people who need to search for travel/tourist information or plane check-ins, better do them at those times. During the day, you sometimes won't get any internet at all. I'm not sure if this is normal or not considering the hotel construction. - Hard to find. Due to the hotel construction, for someone who has never been to Vienna, it was hard to find the building as the large sign at the front is usually covered up by construction. Unless you've been there before, it's hard to know that you have to go to the side of the building past a wooden door in order to get to the check-in and check-out office. It wasn't until the end of my week stay, did I see paper signs being put around the building pointing to the temporary hotel entrance door. - No staff notifications. For any business, if there's construction, every employee should be notified of any annoyances and non-emergencies/drills. For two days during my week stay, there were random alarms blaring loudly for about a minute. One of those times, it woke me up. Customers should be notified about this prior to the event in the chance where it may have been a real emergency. - Semi-clean. It's clean enough for an average person, but I'm part germaphobe. When I looked at the apartment, there were certain stains all over the place (Ex. on the rugs and sofas). I also brought new slippers to use and by the end of the trip, it was pretty much greyed out which means most likely the floors are only swept/vacuumed and never mopped. The refrigerator had a stench or maybe old food from previous customers that I think a nice box of baking soda for every refrigerator would be enough to take the smell away. The restroom (both toilet-room and shower-room) also left a certain mildew smell. Considering the small hole patches on the tile walls, I forsee the state of the apartment may get worse if nothing else is done to keep the apartment in better condition. - Slow elevator. It only fits 3 people and it takes awhile for it to go up and down. The elevator also doesn't have an up button so even if you want to walk up some flights of stairs, you would have to press the down button and hope no one's going down in order to go up to your floor. - Decoration. I already expected it considering the photos, but the face paintings tend to be creepy like eyes following you around the room. I had Skype calls and some people also pointed out the paintings and why there are so many faces staring at you.

Cons: the size of the room

Cons: Squeaky floor boards but can be expected for a buildig that age

Cons: 1.The air conditioning was a huge problem. Could not get the rooms cooled down. The staff was helpful but made the stay very uncomfortable. 2. The wi-fi is expensive. These big chain hotels will nickle and dime you on services such as wi-fi when all other hotels give it for free !! 3. Currently construction is going on..caused some noise disturbance.

Cons: Value - Vienna Marriott was expensive - I stayed in nice hotels and Budapest and Prague and hotels there were about half of the cost of my stay in Vienna.

Cons: No bar or restaurant. Bathrooms are ok but you bang your head on the shelf over the sink and the height of the bath for getting into for a shower is high.

Cons: Smoking all over

Cons: Elevator was slow when called so ended up taking stairs.

Cons: BED BUGS with no refund. We had to be up until almost 3 a.m. cleaning our stuff before we were allowed to go into our new room. Yet, I got no refund for the room, so I was essentially paying for a room I was not even allowed to enter until 3 in the morning! Never staying with them again!

Cons: The night desk clerk on my check in was not friendly. The other staff was fine. I cut him some slack because he is dealing with loud kids all day staying at the hostel. I might be a bit grumpy too in this case.
