About

Hotel Wandl occupies an enviable spot on Petersplatz, in the 01. Innere Stadt district, the very centre of Vienna. The 4-star property is set in a traditional building with a lounge bar, and the entrance looks onto the back of St. Peter's Cathedral.

The hotel also offers a fitness centre, laundry service, and a paid airport shuttle.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable central location — On Petersplatz in the Innere Stadt, guests consistently say it's ideal for exploring – St. Stephen's Cathedral is a 3-5 minute walk, Hofburg about 7 minutes.
  • Breakfast worth waking up for — A generous spread with fresh fruit, homemade cakes, and even sparkling wine – several guests called it the best in Vienna.
  • Helpful, friendly staff — From assisting with check-in to pointing out the nearest grocery store, staff are repeatedly described as polite and accommodating.
  • Good value for the location — With rooms from around £654 per night, guests feel the price is fair for a property this central in Vienna.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms can be on the smaller side — Several reviewers noted that rooms vary in size and most are compact – the Economy Single, for instance, has just a shower and heating, no desk or lounge area.
  • Breakfast may not meet 4-star expectations — One guest described it as 'standard, even scarce for four stars', despite others praising it – so temper your expectations depending on what you're used to.
  • Street-facing rooms can be noisy — If you're sensitive to noise, you may want to request a courtyard-facing room – one guest mentioned windows facing the street, though they slept fine with them closed.
  • No on-site parking — Parking isn't available at the hotel, but one reviewer mentioned convenient parking nearby – it's just not on-site.

“We loved the location, right in the centre of Vienna and only a three-minute walk from St. Stephen's Cathedral. The room was spotless, and the bathroom, though compact, looked brand new.”

“A beautiful traditional hotel in a superb location close to everything you'd want in central Vienna. The breakfast was exceptional and plentiful, with five protein options, juices and very friendly staff.”

“Perfect location, a lovely spacious room, spotless, polite staff... Best breakfast in Vienna!”

“After reading other reviews, I was a bit wary, but staying here changed my mind completely. It's easy to reach from the airport by bus – take the 7 from Schwedenplatz-Marienplatz, about 20 minutes, then a short walk. The receptionist was helpful, even filling out forms when I was searching for my glasses. My single room faced the street; it wasn't large, with a shower cabin separated by a glass door, but the ventilation worked well. The bed was comfortable, the room clean, towels fresh, and I even found Russian TV channels. Breakfast was standard, perhaps sparse for a 4-star, and the sparkling wine didn't impress me – there were no strawberries to go with it.”

“Breakfast was great every morning – fresh fruits, homemade cakes, and excellent coffee. The staff were like personal assistants, always smiling and incredibly helpful.”
