Delightful experience at Le Meridien Vienna. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed openly and was taken aback by this fantastic hotel. The lady at reception was pleasant, friendly and professional, checking me in swiftly. My German language skills are not upto scratch and she conversed with me in perfect English. I had a room upgrade, which was lovely. The room was large and airy with a double bed (two single beds pushed together, but with a double mattress topper, so you are none the wiser) which was so so comfortable. Large flat screen tv, great coffee machine, with heaps of different strength pods and writing desk for the business traveller. The room also had an iron and ironing board, cleverly hidden within the mirror. The bathroom was large and had lots of natural light. A fantastic walk in shower and a bath were both present. The hotel had a bar/restaurant, which I ate at. Food was pricey, but very tasty. Service was great. I had breakfast at the hotel which was a huge buffet with a wide range of food. The entire hotel was sparkling and clean, with not a speck of dust visible. I had asked for a room facing the rear, as a light sleeper, and was never disturbed during the night. The hotel is in the Innere Stadt right on the Ringstrasse. A number of historic attractions are a short walk away. The area also has a number of excellent bars and restaurants. Staying in the Innere Stadt in Vienna is certainly not cheap, but Le Meridien is an excellent option.

“Great stay; fantastic.”

Excellent location, easy to access all landmarks and restaurants. Reception staff very helpful and friendly. Any requests we had were taken care of immediately. High floor room 710 really quiet and great sleep. Would stay here again and would obviously recommend. John & Sandy.

Great location for tourist attractions, excellent restaurant and bar, great staff and a surprise birthday cake!

We stayed at Le Méridien for three nights to celebrate my partner’s 40th birthday, having booked a superior city-view room five months in advance. As it was a special occasion, the hotel kindly gave us what they described as the best room in the category we had reserved, but unfortunately we found it rather disappointing. Although the room was likely the advertised 30 square metres, a large portion of the space was taken up by an oversized bathroom, which made the bedroom area feel much smaller than expected. The city view was pleasant enough (through windows in need of cleaning), but nowhere near as impressive as the photos suggested. The furnishings and overall finish also felt somewhat cheap and below the standard you would normally expect from a five-star hotel—something we had previously experienced at a Marriott Convoy in New York City. The exterior of the hotel suggests traditional architecture, but our room was in a modern part in the back with low ceilings, contrary to what we expected based on the photos of the hotel. The hotel also offered complimentary drinks on days when housekeeping was declined. We chose to make use of this, only to discover that the offer applied to a very limited drinks menu, meaning we still had to pay for what we ordered. That said, the location is excellent, and the staff were warm, friendly, and very helpful throughout our stay. Overall, however, we felt the experience did not justify a return visit.
