City Pension Stephansplatz I Self Check In

“Perfect stay”

Perfect location, clean, the shower had great water pressure and relatively spacious. Considering the price, this was the best value for money I’ve seen in a while. You can’t leave luggage but you can at the nearby CAT station and then explore the city.

“Home away from home in Vienna”

I've been staying at Pension City since 1991 when I came to Vienna for a 5 month extended stay after college, and have always come back to stay here ever since. Back then I stayed in a small but perfectly appointed twin room at a price affordable enough for five months. Now I get to bring my partner and kid and friends to stay in some of the larger rooms right in the center of old Vienna. I can't imagine staying anywhere else. The rooms are a great size, the bathrooms small but efficient, great water pressure in the showers, towel warmers for cold mornings, windows that open wide onto the city (something you can't find in the US anymore). The rooms are like Vienna - modern living with an old world heart. A few specifics worth pointing out - - You can't get any closer to the city center for this price. Literally a handful of steps to Stephansplatz and the city center. - The restaurant in the same building - Wrenkh - is one of the loveliest in the city. I've also been coming here since 1991! They've been doing sustainable farm to table cooking since long before it was in fashion. - All the great coffee houses are moments away on foot (Hawelka use maybe 5 mins to walk to). Same for the best schnitzel (Figlmuller and Reinthaler's also 5 mins on foot). - Their management and staff are a DREAM to work with. We communicated via WhatsApp leading up to our stay, which was incredibly helpful as there were two families staying in three rooms, and being able to talk live was so helpful. We were also able to chat during our stay on a few small things that needed attention (one of the toilets was having an issue, which they immediately fixed for us while we were out). - There is a small fridge in each room full of free water which is a lovely touch. Since covid, breakfast does not come with the room - which just means you get to enjoy from a million wonderful spots in the city ;-) In terms of areas for improvement, the only one I'd share is that it would be nice for the twin beds, when joined to become a larger bed for a couple, to be actually joined together so they can't move apart. This is a very small thing to fix and certainly very easy to work around. I have enjoyed three decades in this place and my kid, now a teenager, has just had her first decade of visits. And we're already planning our next trip back ♥️

“Definitely good value and good location”

We needed an additional nights accommodation in Vienna and as our pension was full we found City Pension near by. Great communication, so easy to check-in and get in yourself. The room was clean and comfortable and the toilet genuinely a water closet (small) but functional. The room was quiet but ear plugs were supplied - we did not need them, nor the air condition. The only thing that’s a little bit of a negative But not a deterrent is the smell in the stairwell from the restaurant - but it’s not an issue in the pension. Good location, good value for money.

“Great location, tight quarters”

The room was accurately described as small, so we weren't caught off guard, but it did make for some challenges, especially getting in and out of bed.

The room was accurately described as small, so we weren't caught off guard, but it did make for some challenges, especially getting in and out of bed. That said, the room was well appointed, the bed was very comfortable, the shower had great water pressure, and the location was perfect for our needs. Additionally, the staff was very accommodating when we arrived early after a red-eye flight and asked to leave our luggage; instead, after a brief wait, they made our room available. The room was relatively quiet--perfectly so the first night, a bit less so the second (the restaurant crowd below was a bit raucous). We'd definitely stay here again, given the quality of the lodgings and the location, but would choose a larger room next time.
