Hotel Secession an der Oper

Exceptional

Superb

Perfect base

Liked: This beautiful hotel was perfectly situated for our stay. Just steps away from the underground station made planning a breeze. It's a short walk to the main streets of Vienna and right next door is the market filled with eateries ranging from fresh fish, Greek and Chinese. We were recommended by the staff to go to The Blockhouse as the hotel doesn't have a restaurant and it was one of the best places we ate in. Our room was very comfortable with air-conditioning that was appreciated in the heatwave. On the top floor, our windows looked across the main road and we could see the gleaming roof of the Secession. Noise was minimal and we slept well.
Disliked: Breakfast - while it appears that there is plenty to choose from, the staff only put small portions out so it quickly disappears. We had to ask for more fruit, pastries and fried eggs almost every day.

Excellent location, good value for...

Liked: This location is truly great. All the sights we wanted to see were within walking distance. The room was large, the lighting in the room was fine. The breakfast was the European average for this category of the hotel. We appreciated the Prosecco and the Sacher Cake on the buffet. The hotel's own car park is very convenient for those arriving by car. The personnel were friendly.
Disliked: The mattress in the bed was too soft and too old. Mattresses need to be changed.

Worth it.

Liked: The hotel is at walking distance (5 minutes walk) from Karlsplatz U-Bahn (subway) station, where several lines intersect and also (10 min walk) from Opera, or Hofburg palace and museums complex. Easy access to trams and bus lines for virtually any destination in Vienna.Cleanliness and supportive staff are major pluses.Some rooms have a generous outside terrace. Good breakfast.

Excellent!

Liked: The room was clean and comfy, the staff were very helpful and the location was excellent.
