The rooms are very nicely decorated. Location is great. I was pretty quiet and the bed was ok. One huge problem with this property. When the temperature falls below 56F at night the ventilation will only blow hot air. So you have to sleep with the windows open. But there is no thermastatic control on the windows. My first night I woke up in the middle of the night a puddle of sweat. My second night I woke up in the middle of the night freezing. I stayed here for a week, by then end of the week, trial and error I got it about right, then it was time to leave. But forget about sleeping in, if you want the air to circulate, you have to leave the blackout curtains open so enjoy getting up with the dawn.

Good location and very helpful and attentive staff. We didn’t like our 4th floor room with a sloping roof and they moved us to a better room. Rooms were a bit too warm for us and Airconditioning would not turn on.

I would recommend but o
The location is super good as it’s walking distance to the places that is touristy . The receptionist magdalena and tall guy are helpful and good while the rest needs training for good customer service and a smile is always good . The bald guy in bar every time I ask for drink doesn’t even look at me or recognise me , but he’s super friendly to the rest of the European customers . I’m sucker for good customer service and he failed it big time sadly :-(

Lousy bathroom, lousy shower everywhere a bit scruffy. Breakfast overpriced chaotic mess. Rude lousy barman. In fairness they refunded breakfast and drinks, but still had to find alternative breakfasts. Whole place needs a makeover. Internet was good.

Hotel nice but room was not what i thought it woul
The room was incredibly small. The pictures did not fully explain that the door BARELY clears the bed and the room was incredibly tight to manuever. Fridge never felt like it was cold but there was a huge block of ice in it so i guess it was. Room was very hot from the beginning and even after turning all the heat off and asking for a fan it was still hot the whole time. The only window was a patio door that i did not feel safe keeping open while i slept so there was no chance for cool night air to come in. Staff were nice enough. Building is pretty and well kept. I was just incredibly dissapointed with my room and what i paid for it.

Hotel Josefshof am Rathaus is truly one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The location is perfect—situated in a quiet area but just a short walk from Vienna’s major attractions, including the Rathaus and MuseumsQuartier. It’s an ideal base for exploring the city. The rooms were spacious, beautifully designed, and spotlessly clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I loved the modern amenities, especially the stylish bathroom with luxurious toiletries. The attention to detail in the decor made the room feel both cozy and elegant. What truly sets this hotel apart is the outstanding service. The staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to assist with anything we needed, from restaurant recommendations to transportation tips. Their warmth and attentiveness made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, offering a wide range of delicious options to suit every taste, from fresh fruits and pastries to hot dishes. The quality of the food and the relaxing atmosphere made for a perfect start to each day. Overall, Hotel Josefshof am Rathaus exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s a wonderful combination of comfort, elegance, and excellent service, making it one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!
