Hotel Urania

The location is the key. Close to everything in a walking distance. Nice hotel, very cozy, with an interesting design. Recommend 👍

I stayed at room 33, which is the only room on the top level. This seems to be a refitted attic; it has a fire door - a heavy metal door that’s pretty small. If you’re a tall person beware - you may hit your head. Furthermore the lock seems to be damaged. From the inside I failed to unlock the door on the first few tries, twisting and turning the key without the lock unlocking. I eventually figured out that the key must be pushed in further to work the lock. Inconvenient, sure, but even more concerning it’s a safety issue, when a heavy fire door does not unlock easily. Only one lamp in the room was working, giving it a veritable crypt atmosphere. The nightstand light didn’t work, neither did the starry sky lights above the door. The color changing led ***** behind the headboard did not work, but not help. (At least not in lighting up the room. It helped in emphasizing the cheap impression though.) The one working light was draped in a bedsheet. For whatever reason. The shower head does not stay in position and slips down - i.e. hands free showering is only possible from the waist down. Furthermore the shower folding door is broken in more than one ways - it doesn’t stay on its tracks, this won’t close, and on top of that the handle comes off when trying to close the shower. Last, the cupboard had burn stains on it. All in all the stay was not worth the money. While the hotel itself seems nice enough, the room I stayed in was more the level of a hostel.

This'll hotel definitely has character. It's very funky. I would definitely come back!

Fantastic rooms. Hysterically interesting! Breakfast/coffee in the morning was fantastic. This was the best deal on a hotel for a couple nights in Vienna compared to literally anywhere I've ever been, BY FAR.

NO AIR CONDITION I SLEPT SWEATING, BED HAD HAIRS AND STAINS ON IT. PAY MORE SOMEWHERE ELSE

Unstable wifi at the hotel. Only able to get online while standing in front of the reception. Quick analysis showed the reason being colission of traffic between various wifi relays. Everyone being on the same channel. Both on 2.4 and 5GHz.

Short break in Vienna. Hotel is only 20 minute walk from St Stephen’s in the Innere Stadt so pretty central and very near The Prater. Pleasant breakfast and a great room. Staff very helpful. Only criticism is there is no coffee/tea making facilities in the room.
