Historic Hotels & Resorts in Donaustadt from NZ$262

"Highly recommend this hotel. The staff are very friendly, the room is tidy and the breakfast was well worth the money. The only downsides would be that the air conditioning wasn’t very efficient; even on the coldest setting we were overheating at night. The other downside is that the toilet rolls were a little thin and found there was not enough supplied for 3 days."

"This was an absolutely unacceptable experience, and the hotel’s behavior was by far the worst part of it. I had to cancel my trip because of the war in the Middle East—something serious, dangerous, and completely outside of my control. Any reasonable business would show basic understanding in that situation. This hotel did the exact opposite. They flat-out refused to refund anything or offer even the smallest accommodation. No credit, no rescheduling, nothing. Just a cold, scripted response hiding behind “policy” with zero regard for safety or common sense. It honestly felt like they cared more about keeping my money than about treating customers fairly during a real-world crisis. While Expedia was also unhelpful and simply echoed the hotel’s stance, the hotel itself was the main problem. Their attitude was rigid, dismissive, and frankly greedy. Hospitality is supposed to involve at least some level of empathy—this place showed none. If this is how they treat customers during serious global events, I can’t imagine how they handle everyday issues. I would strongly warn anyone considering this hotel: book at your own risk, because if anything goes wrong, don’t expect fairness, understanding, or even basic decency—you will likely just lose your money.

"staff are amazing. everyone goes over the top "

"Our room was a twin Executive which was warm and inviting. Linen and toiletries were of a high standard. The executive dining floor was excellent. A plentiful buffet at breakfast and a much appreciated ‘happy hour’ in the evenings with nibbles and alcoholic drinks. The staff were helpful and very pleasant. A good location next to the CAT train direct from the airport. All in all a very good choice of hotel for us on our first visit to Vienna. Thank you."

"Very convenient location "

"It was perfectly nice. Convenient location too. "

"Very modern, quiet property, great location, large room with all the amenities you could wish for. "

"My recent stay at Meliá Vienna was extremely disappointing and far below what I expect from a five-star hotel. From the start, there was a complete lack of flexibility and customer care. Despite informing the hotel at check-in that I had to shorten my stay due to a family emergency, my request not to be charged for the last night (out of 5 nights) was refused without consideration. The room itself had multiple issues: stained carpet, defective window shade, constant noise preventing sleep, and missing basic amenities (no coffee, tea, cups, or even consistent water service). Housekeeping was unreliable, and I often had to request cleaning multiple times. The most concerning incident happened on my last full day: after requesting room cleaning before leaving, I returned late in the evening to find the room untouched, with a note falsely claiming I had placed a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door—when no such sign had even been available in my room. This was both unacceptable and deeply concerning. At one point, I was even asked to manage my own trash and offered bedsheets to make my own bed. Food service was equally disappointing: restaurant closures several days, long delays, dietary instructions ignored, and clear understaffing. Overall, the service, responsiveness, and attention to guests were far below expectations. I also left with a very uncomfortable feeling about how I was treated (as a Black woman of African origin), which is deeply concerning. "
