I stayed at Ibis budget wien messe from March 28th until April 2nd. I have to say that the entire process was quite delightful; getting to the hotel is quite easy as it is a 7-10 minute walk for the metro. The check in process was also very smooth; I arrived around 9AM and was even granted early check in, which was very helpful. All the staff that I interacted with was pleasant and helpful; they even gave me good Vienna recommendations. Two things about the rooms you might want to keep in mind: there is no hair drier in the room and you have to ask for it at the front desk (I read somewhere that there is a 20 euro deposit, not sure cause I didn’t ask for a hair drier) and that there is no fridge in the room. This one is quite uncomfortable as anything you buy that need a fridge will go bad in a day; but it is what it is. Overall, with the given budget, I think it’s a good stay. Getting around the city is super easy, again due to the metro nearby. Also, getting to the airport is also easy- there is a train station nearby and you can take REX7 or S7 nearby. Overall would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately, I didnt get a fridge in the room. This one is quite uncomfortable as anything you buy that need a fridge will go bad in a day.

By entering the hotel the first impression you get- it looks just as a hospital. However, the longer you stay, you basically realize that the bathing cabin just in a room is pretty convenient to use. What I liked mostly: everyday cleaning , supportive personnel, decent price and great location. Breakfast could be better served (eg, with fried eggs or omelet). Wifi connection is stable.

Couple of weeks prior to arrival I got a message from the hotel via booking.com application with a reference to my confirmed booking - with a phishing link that looked similar to booking.com form, which I didn’t recognise. And despite immediate reporting to my bank/booking.com/merchant money were withdrawn from my account without any successful refund. Hotel wifi is insecured, be careful entering your credentials/passwords.

The place is close to a Metro station, approx. 7 minutes on foot so the location is convenient. The room and bed sheets were clean. The beds were comfortable. The staff were friendly and eager to help. Although we had booked a two-bedded room, they gave us, upon our request, a double-bed room and allowed us to early check-in. The location has two elevators. Overall, a satisfactory experience.

The shower and bed are in the same room, so when someone is showering, another person sitting in bed can see them. Therefore, it is a place mostly recommended for couples. Also, there was no trash can in the bathroom.

Staff was very very friendly and always available. Breakfast was pretty good, savoury very good (nice fresh heated variety of breads, fresh humus, cheeses...), sweet a bit lacking (maybe you could add some basic cakes?) and a good coffee. Rooms were quite spacious (considering this is a budget chain) albeit a bit basic. As mentioned by others the shower is integrated in the room, so depending on your privacy needs this may be a concern. Very good position as the U1 line is just a few steps from the hotel and you have both the Mess and UNO center very close. Good choice of restaurants and basic markets available nearby as well. Definitely as I expected or maybe even a bit more!

Just the "bathroom" part was a bit too minimal, not even an electric plug near the mirror. It is a bit silly that the toilet light is only actionable on movement, so if you are "sitting and producing" you may get the light closed. Heating didn't seem to work much, luckily I did not have big heating needs in the season.

This is a hotel that does exactly what it says on the tin... Pre arrival communication was good and check in was swift at the 24/7 manned reception. Our double room was located on the 1st floor and was spacious, clean and well presented, cleaned daily and fresh towels provided, more than adequate for the needs of this married couple. Not sure the in-room shower, and unlockable toilet door would suit friends though. Room also had a small wall mounted TV with multilingual channels available (German/English/Russian/French/Arabic). Our Bed was firm yet comfortable (how we like it), the shower was hot, and the water was plentiful. To get into Vienna (Wein) city center just go out of the hotel and turn left for approx. 500m on the same side of the road to the U-Bahn station called Vorgartenstrasse. a ticket costs 2.5 Euro per person if you buy a single trip and is only a few stops on Line U1 (red) to either Schwedenplatz (3 stops & 3 mins) or Stephansplatz (4 stops & 4 mins).

I was a little disappointed with the pillows on the bed, 1 per person and they were literally paper thin, we stuffed our down jackets into the pillowcase to make them thicker which worked a treat, however I'm sure the reception staff who were very pleasant would have given us more if we had asked but we didn't.

The room was clean and nice. Good value for money. It was basic but spacious and had everything I needed. The staff was really nice and were especially kind when I wanted to checkout late, and was a few minutes late for the time they approved. I think that each time we spoke they were very nice and helpful. There were always people walking in the street even at night and it was very close to U1 metro so it was easy to get into the center of town

The TV was a little small, but I hardly used it anyway. There was construction outside, which you could hear only when the window was open, since the windows did a good job of keeping out the noise.

The room was small but clean. At first, it was unusual that the shower was right in the room. But I got used to it. The window in the room overlooked the courtyard, but I did not notice any strong noise. Everything is very modest, but everything you need is in place. There was no hair dryer in the room, but you could get one for a deposit at the reception. The staff is very friendly. The location of the hotel is excellent. The metro station and several grocery stores are within walking distance. This hotel left rather pleasant impressions. If you are looking for an overnight stay at a decent-budget hotel near the metro, then this is the best option.

Of the big minuses, I would probably name a hard bed. And there was no kettle in the room. But I have been to hotels with much worse conditions.

The hotel is very close to Praterstern Station, very useful to move around the city. If you are planning to walk to the main parts of the city, it’s a nice pleasant walk around 35mins. The breakfast was good and there was a good selection of coffee, tea, pastries etc. Housekeeping is excellent. Reception staff very helpful and extremely friendly.

What I didn’t like about the hotel was the noise that came from the building site right next door, it started very early every morning. My room was facing that way.

The location was awesome - we got back late and plenty of Kebab shops and restaurants were open nearby. There is a Poke Bowl place right outside too! Additionally, plenty of super market shops nearby. If we speak about the ease of public transport - it was an absolute dream. There were smaller as well as bigger metro stations nearby (the Prater one had a working supermarket during the public holidays).

The room and the shower particularly seemed a bit dirty and used, but nothing extraordinary. The sink was too small and too low; the button on the mirror did not always work as it was a touch screen kind. Not enough hooks for clothes for 2 people. But what do you expect for such a budget price? It did not ruin the experience!

What I liked most was the cleanliness (10/10), the location (perfect for the airport) the room size (exceptional) and the professionalism and friendliness of the staff (they really were very, very helpful in many ways). I also enjoyed seeing that previous unfavourable reviews were unjustified: congrats to the staff for addressing a few small issues (the management should be proud that they've recruited such a good team).

It wasn’t an issue for me but the shower in the room (yes, IN the room) was odd. Maybe it would be an invasion of privacy in some cases. I've never seen anything like this before.
