The taxi driver from the airport suggested we look for somewhere more central as the area and Hotel were poor in his opinion .... I'm happy to say he was totally wrong although we were a distance from the city centre. Breakfast and comfort were good and I would book there again.

This hotel was just what I was looking for. A nice retro atmosphere with that slightly 'lived in' feel. Loved the breakfast's and the staff were always willing to help. The one big surprise was the local area, I loved it. Extensive precincts with many interesting shops and a great supermarket which was a source of reasonably priced 'snack' food. In summary, the Kolbeck is not the Marriot, but I think it's a lot more fun.

Fantastic hotel, rooms huge, ultra modern in renovated ones, large beauftiful bathroom, even LCD flat panel TV, location a bit away from centere but does not matter since metro short walk along a pedestrian shopping street, breakfast was outstanding with large variety of foods almost like having in regular restaurant except buffet. I did not want to leave the hotel.

The Kolbeck is a beautiful hotel, well situated a beautifully appointed large rooms. My room was on the front of the building right overlooking the tram stop on the main road, so the noise was deafening all night long and as there was no air con and not even a fan I had to leave the windows open all night. There is no lift which made it difficult with my heavy baggage. Breakfast was excellent, the staff helpful and welcoming, the building clean and beautifully maintained. I would just suggest to the management that the installation of even just a fan would make all the difference to the comfort of its guests. Even if they increased the tariff by 1 euro a day, it would pay for itself in a very short space of time. I hate to sound negative because other than the noise and heat problem, the hotel could not have been better. I would even go back knowing that I had to lug my bags up the steps, it was so nice there. Unfortunately however, I would not go back unless I knew that something had been done about the heat and the noise.

My first time in Vienna and I had a major problem locating hotel from Sudtiroler Platz metro station which has a number of exits and it was unclear from the map where the hotel was in relation to this metro station. Hotel Kolbeck is equidistant and MUCH easier to find from Keplerplatz metro station where there are only two exits in the same pedestrian street - as I recall take the exit at the rear of the train when arriving from central Vienna but I forget the name of this exit. Kolbeck offers good value for money close to a metro station a few stops from the centre of the City. The room and bathroom were very clean and had been refurbished recently although fairly basic and no toileteries were provided. There was a limited choice for the buffet style breakfast served from 0600 - 1000 although it was perfectly adequate unless you are intending to devour vast quantities to last you for rest of the day! After hours you have to let yourself in to the hotel with an electronic key card so do not forget to take it with you. There is free access to the internet via a PC in the foyer although on a first come first serve basis and this can be monopolised at times. Overall I would stay there again.

No lift but its closer to many locations. 5 mins with under ground train to the main train station. Good place to stay overall. One drwaback is it is not in the famous ringstrausee but can reach there by train in 3-4 mins.

The hotel was within walking distance of the south train and U-bahn stations. We encountered some problems at checkin with the code we were given. After several calls to the operator of the "automated night entry system", she took a taxi and got us checked in. Another couple came while we were waiting and were able to get inside with their information. We were told ours was a system problem. The passage way from the lobby to our room went outside through a courtyard that was rather unappealing and there was no elevator to our floor. All in all, the staff was courteous and friendly, the room was clean, breakfast was good and the location convenient. The hotel is located on a main street with a large pedestrian shopping area. The restaurant they recommended was next door and had excellent food at a most reasonable price. All in all, it was a pleasant stay and I would recommend the hotel and would return there again.

Very nice hotel near bus/metro station. Kind Employees , the room was clean and confortable; breakfast is very complete.Internet free for customers is really a good idea. I recommend this hotel. Hotel molto carino e vicinissimo a bus e metro (è comunque abbastanza centrale). Lo staf è gentile e preparato, la camera pulita e la prima colazione abbondante. L'uso gratuito di internet è una buona idea. Raccomandato

I have stayed for five days in Hotel Kolbeck Vienna and I was gladly surprised especially for the kindness of personnel; they are providing many useful informations, they have always a good word for you and a big smile on their faces. The location is excelent. You can catch Tram 0 right in front of the hotel to go to Sudbanhof train station, or walk some 200 meters to the metro Line 1, three stops to center of the town. There´s a big shopping mall in the same Columbus Platz as well as a bar and restaurant. Not far is a McDonald. The room was clean, only doesn't have carpet on the floor (naked parchet only). The breakfast was very good. Overall price to quality is excelent! One more thing: doesn't have elevator and, around 2 or 3 pm a lot of noise from the refurbishing some other rooms. (the hotel still under renovation). But this will be finished in short time, I believe.Is quiet in night time and has Internet also.

The concierge was very nice and gave lots of useful info. Fluent in English. The location is suitable for people who want to save on cabs from/to airport. Within 10 min walking distance there is an airport shuttle bus stop (bus comes every 30 min.). The ride costs only 6 Euros! Walking distance to metro station. My (single) room was quite small, but it did not matter to me. No elevator. Smoking rooms. TV did not work, but I did not come to watch TV in Vienna! ;-), so it was minor for me. Wake-up service. Telephone. High-speed Internet at the lobby is a good plus. Absolutely clean. Had the window open the whole night-no noise whatsoever. Highly recommend for travelers on the budget.

Hotel Kolbeck was a pleasant surprise and of much better standard than we expected for a 2 star hotel, matching the 3 star hotels we stayed at in other towns in many respects. It is within easy walking distance of the Sudbahnhof and is located in a shopping precint just south of the old town, a few subway stops away. Our room was large and the bathroom had been recently renovated - renovations were obviously still underway in other parts of the hotel. The bed was clean and comfortable, with TV & hairdryer included. The carpets were the only thing that was a little less clean - more stained than dirty though. Our room was in an annex section of the hotel and involved walking up 2 steep flights of stairs with luggage. It overlooked the shopping/cafe area below, which was a little noisy as we had the windows open due to the heat, but not a problem if both sets of windows were closed. The breakfast buffet was also quite good, with a reasonable but simple selection and included in the price. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would stay there again next time we go to Vienna.

The hotel is within walking distance of the train station but a bit further from the centre. We walked it once but it took about 30 minutes but there are trams and also a metro station near by. The room was very large but the old windows let a lot of noise in from the street. The breakfast was pretty standard. There were a couple of nice bars next door and also a supermarket/shopping centre.

Hotel Kolbeck was a convenient hotel - close to a U-bahn line and with free internet available off of the lobby. The staff was very friendly and helpful and generally spoke excellent English. Our room was somewhat oddly designed and the windows opened over the garbage receptacles (a bit smelly after a weekend) but it was far from traffic noises in the city. The breakfasts were perfectly adequate and the coffee was great!

Comodissimo Hotel per raggiungere ogni zona della città: stazione sud a soli 700 metri, metropolitana 200 metri, tram appena fuori dalla porta. hotel senza pretese, ma servizio impeccabile, deliziosa prima colazione; le camere spaziose, ma la moquette meriterebbe di essere sostituita! Eccezionale servizio Internet gratis alla reception! Unica "pecca" un cantiere di lavori proprio di fronte all'Hotel: inziano il turno alle 06.30! Tornero' nuovamente in questo Hotel, cosi come lo raccomando a chi soggiornerà a Vienna! Comfortable Hotel to reach every zone of Wien: South Railway station just 700 m. away; underground 200 m. and tram way just in front of main entrance. Easy going Hotel, but efficient service, really friendly, professional and helpfull staff; very clean and spacious rooms, even if the carpet should be replaced! Delicious breakfast! To point out free internet service at the reception. The only claim is a public refitting road yard just in front of the Hotel, starting shift at 6.30 a.m.!!! Anyway, I will stay at Kolbeck Hotel in the future again and I definitly suggest this Hotel to whom decide to go to Wien

il y avait 2 reservations de faites, 1 chambre double et 1 single. une erreur dans le mail qui communiquait le code d'entrée ... mais on a eu une réponse à l'interphone ! la single au dernier étage etait un peu petite mais propre et correct pour une nuit de passage. l'hotel est très propre et le petit déjeuner est très bien servi. l'indication pour arriver par le métro pourrait être plus claire, car avec des explications c 'est assez simple de trouver mais la nuit il n'y a pas beaucoup de monde dans les rues à viennent pour se faire renseigner.
