    We had a great experience at this hotel! The location is very convenient and get everywhere in Vienna with public transportation with very short walk. The room is clean and well prepared. If any thing, it is only the room a bit small. Yet it is full functional that meet all our needs.

    Very nice, clean, quiet hotel near main train station but far enough to be in a quiet street far from any crowds. Enough shelves and space for luggage. Nice modern interior, comfy rooms, all new and clean. Dog friendly. OK price and an ok price for dog. I was not asked if dog needed a bowl, but that is a small issue. All worked and we were satisfied.

    Great hotel in a perfect location - highly recommended! I spent two nights at the Hotel Zeitgeist Vienna and was completely satisfied. The rooms are modernly furnished and very clean. Since the hotel is located on a busy street, you should keep the windows closed at night. Thanks to the air conditioning, however, this isn't a problem. I would particularly like to highlight the exceptionally friendly service at reception. Although I arrived at 10:00 a.m. and check-in wasn't until noon, the friendly staff member immediately provided me with a room. This allowed me to freshen up and unpack. A truly wonderful and thoughtful gesture! The fitness room is also well-equipped, and the sauna is lovely. The location is perfect: just a two-minute walk from the main train station, and Belvedere Palace is also very close. Many sights can be easily explored on foot. The location is also ideal for arrival and departure from the airport. The value for money was also excellent, especially with my booking including a flight through Eurowings. My conclusion: Modern, clean, friendly service and a top location. I would come back anytime and can absolutely recommend the hotel!

    Because of this person, Lasa, my trip to Austria was the best trip in itself. He was a housekeeper, and he is the best service staff member. He is not Austrian, but works abroad. Do you want to meet a truly happy day? Then meet Lasa. You will experience the best moment of your trip to Austria. Lasa is of African descent. He is a man with a truly beautiful smile. He is young, but I heard he has about three children. I had a wonderful time staying at this hotel for two nights thanks to Lasa. The hotel location is really good. If only there were more staff like Lasa, this hotel would become the best hotel in Austria. I get the strong impression that most of the staff in Austria, including those in 5-star hotels, especially the local Austrians, are working while still haunted by the glory of the 19th century. They seem to be under the delusion that the splendid glory of the Habsburg dynasty still continues. The Habsburg dynasty has disappeared from history. They failed to read the times. Austrian hoteliers and service staff should take Lasa as their role model. It is absurd to see service staff who expect tips without even providing proper service. Lasa is someone destined to become very wealthy. Manners make you rich. He is someone who understands the true essence of work. Please, if you do not change this ridiculous culture of accepting tips without providing proper service, your competitiveness will not last. Thank you, Lasa of Austria. #Lasa's actions that day It was a hotel issue around 9 PM. 1. Since the refrigerator wasn't working, he went to get one from somewhere-and that was at 9 PM. That is why he is bound to make money. 2. The heating wasn't working. The phone wasn't working either. So Lasa spoke directly to the front desk and told them to change rooms. His sense is extraordinary. That is why he will become rich.

    We spent 11 days at the lovely Hotel Zeitgeist. It was wonderful to have a library, which we made good use of, reading in the comfortable armchairs. The food was delicious 😋. The staff was unobtrusive and very friendly. Our room was always kept spotlessly clean and hygienic. The rooms are beautifully designed and practical. I appreciate having the toilet and bathroom separate. We also wanted to use the sauna, which we'll do on our next visit. We really appreciated the peace and quiet in the room and throughout the hotel. The proximity to the train station, the shopping street, and the Amalienbad (public baths) is also fantastic. Thank you!
