Rooms & Booking
Can I book a specific room?
Every room at Altstadt Vienna is one of a kind – quite literally, as each exists only once. That’s why we can’t guarantee a specific room. But we’ll happily make a note of your favourite and do our very best to have you wake up exactly where you hoped.
Any other preferences? Street or courtyard facing, shower or bathtub, certain colours or a room on a higher floor? Just let us know. We’ll save your preferences in your guest profile and keep them in mind whenever we assign your room.
What is included in the room rate?
More than just a beautiful room. 😊
Our breakfast (6:30 am–11:00 am on weekdays and 7:00 am–11:30 am on weekends) and daily Tea Time with homemade cake are included, as are bicycles, subject to availability. In your room, you’ll find complimentary Wi-Fi, a coffee machine, bathrobe and slippers, yoga mat, Lederhaas toiletries, Bluetooth speaker, safe, hairdryer, air conditioning and heating.
And always included: our lovely A-Team, here around the clock with tips, answers and a helping hand whenever you need one.
How many guests can stay in one room?
Most of our rooms and suites are designed for two guests. Travelling with family or friends? Just let us know and we’ll be happy to arrange rooms close to one another whenever possible.
For more space, our Grete Wiesenthal Suite #79 and United Nations Suite #73 & #74 offer two bedrooms. Another option is our Orient Express bunk-bed room, which connects to Large Double Room #56.
For babies and toddlers up to the age of three, we provide a travel cot free of charge in any double room or suite. For older children, teenagers or adults, an extra bed can be added to our suites for €60 per night.
Are dogs welcome at Altstadt Vienna?
Very much so! 🐾 Just let us know when booking or before you arrive that your four-legged companion is coming along. We’ll prepare a suitable room and, of course, a cosy little bed for your dog. We charge €25 per dog, per night.
Do you have wheelchair-accessible rooms?
Yes. We have one accessible Medium Double Room (#18), with features including adapted light switches and bathroom fittings. However, the room is fairly compact and located at the end of a long corridor, so it may not be the most convenient option for guests using a wheelchair.
Please get in touch with us before booking. Depending on your individual needs, we may recommend a larger room category located as close to the lift as possible.
What are the benefits of booking directly?
Quite a few. 😊 When you book directly with us, you’ll always get our best-price guarantee, a complimentary late check-out until 1 pm (if available) and access to our super flexible rate, which can be cancelled free of charge until 3 pm on the day of arrival. You’ll also get the most up-to-date availability and, perhaps most importantly, personal advice from our A-Team – whether it’s about finding the right room or adding a special request to your stay.

Getting Here & Location
Where is Altstadt Vienna located?
Altstadt Vienna is located at the foot of Spittelberg, right in Vienna’s 7th district. The MuseumsQuartier and Mariahilfer Straße, Vienna’s longest shopping street, are about a 5-minute walk away. The Hofburg, City Hall and Parliament can be reached in around 10 minutes on foot, while the Vienna State Opera and St. Stephen’s Cathedral are about a 20-minute walk away. Volkstheater underground station (U2 and U3) is just a 5-minute walk from the hotel, and the independent restaurants, bars, galleries and shops of the 7th district are practically on our doorstep. Get to know our neighbourhood and discover what to see and do in Vienna’s 7th district.
How do I get to the hotel?
Whether you’re arriving by plane, train or car, we’ve put together the easiest ways to reach Altstadt Vienna. Find directions from Vienna Airport, Vienna Central Station and information on arriving by car on our Getting Here page.
Where can I buy public transport tickets?
Tickets for Vienna’s public transport network are available at our reception. If you’re already using public transport to reach the hotel, it may be worth buying a 24-hour ticket or 7-day ticket before you arrive. Digital Wiener Linien tickets are cheaper than their printed equivalents from ticket machines.
Check-in & Your Stay
What time is check-in?
Your room will be ready by 3 pm on the day of arrival – and quite often, we can get you settled in earlier. Just let us know your approximate arrival time in advance. If your room isn’t ready yet, you’re more than welcome to leave your luggage with us. We’ll take it up to your room and let you know as soon as everything is ready. A guaranteed early check-in may also be available for an additional charge, subject to availability. Just drop us a line or give us a call and we’ll see what we can do.
Is reception open 24 hours?
Yes. Someone from our A-Team is here for you around the clock, so a late-night arrival, an urgent question or a very early departure is no problem at all. We still appreciate a quick heads-up about your arrival or departure time – that way, we can make sure everything is ready for you.
Is there a gym at Altstadt Vienna?
Yes! Since 2026, we have our very own fitness room. Find out what equipment is available, where to find it and when it’s open on our Altstadt Fitness page.
Where is the rooftop terrace?
Our rooftop terrace is located on the second lift floor and is open to all hotel guests during the summer months. A little hideaway above the rooftops, made for taking a break between one Vienna adventure and the next.
What is Tea Time at Altstadt Vienna?
Our daily Tea Time is a little Altstadt tradition. Every afternoon from 4 to 6 pm, we serve our hotel guests tea and homemade cake in the Red Salon – all included in your stay. The perfect excuse to put your feet up after a day in Vienna, browse through a book or simply have another slice of cake. No judgement here. 😉
Can I borrow a bicycle at Altstadt Vienna?
Absolutely. We have six bicycles available to our hotel guests free of charge. First come, first served – just ask our A-Team and off you go.
Is there a restaurant or hotel bar?
A hotel bar: yes. A traditional restaurant: no. Our Red Salon is living room, breakfast room and hotel bar all in one. After Tea Time, our salons turn into a cosy bar for the evening – perfect for a seasonal cocktail, a glass of Austrian wine or a little something to eat.
For a proper dinner, you’ll find a fantastic selection of restaurants just around the corner. And, of course, our A-Team will happily share their personal favourites.
