Riess City Rooms - Self Check-IN

We highly recommend this location. Came during the first day of Octoberfest and, though it was like a 10-15 minutes walk to the party location, this hostele was quiet and clean. Even with the windows opened!

Central and clean . Only problem is no front desk. The key delivery system is not clear and not user friendly

This was one of the best value places I could find in Vienna (which isn't a cheap city!) The location is excellent, walking to get to the Rathaus and museums and also near to several public transport options. The check-in seemed complicated but we managed it. We were able to leave our luggage in the storage room on the 1st floor on both day of arrival and departure. There is a decent Italian restaurant next door and a lovely cafe for breakfast nearby. I would definitely stay again - not because it is beautiful with lots of atmosphere but because it was comfortable enough, well located, and very good value for money.

Very basic. Clean and comfortable but definitely not luxury by any means, it felt like we were staying in student accommodation or a private room in a hostel. The area is quiet and fairly central which reflects in the price. Our double bed was next to the wall, we had no bedside tables or bedside lamps, the position of the bed was awkward and we had to crawl to get on and off - not good for those with mobility issues. The room is up two flights of stairs with no lift, so be prepared to carry your suitcase. There is a basic shower room with toiletries, and a coffee machine and croissants in the room were a nice touch. There's a nice sized fridge in the room, also. The laundry room is very convenient with a washer and dryer and ironing board, and the kitchen is well equipped. Self check-in was easy, but be careful because the room doors lock on you when you go into the corridor. We locked ourselves out of the room and had to phone the manager. The manager called housekeeping and someone came very promptly which we were very thankful for. The place seems well managed and very safe with lots of solo travellers and women staying alone. We are rating 3 stars purely due to the basic level of accommodation, but would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone looking for somewhere safe to stay in a convenient location on a tight budget.

Clean spacious room with spotless bathroom. Easy self check in and easy walk from closest metro station. Room serviced daily. The only criticism we had was that room was a little noisy but we could have bee unlucky with that particular room and other guests. Thanks for the vote if you found this review helpful.
