Guest Reviews
- Heiti (1/5): Excellent location, but extremely overpriced for the quality — uncomfortable beds, strong chlorine smell, worn-out inter - Unfortunately, I cannot find many positive things to say about this hotel apart from its truly excellent location. Unfortunately, I cannot find many positive things to say about this hotel apart from its truly excellent location.
The first shock came immediately upon arrival — the entire apartment had been cleaned with such a strong chlorine product that our eyes started itching and our airways became irritated. The smell of chlorine in the toilet and bathroom was so intense that it genuinely felt unhealthy to breathe in. In the end, I had to find a bucket and floor mop myself and wash the floors again because it was impossible to stay comfortably in that chemical smell.
The apartment was advertised for four people, but in reality the sleeping conditions were not comfortable even for two. The bed in the bedroom had an extremely hard mattress, and the sofa in the living room was also very uncomfortable for sleeping. The pillows were old, small and flat. We had informed the property in advance that we wanted separate sleeping arrangements, but the sleeping quality was honestly terrible — it felt almost like sleeping on the floor. The entire apartment also felt worn out and cheaply furnished. The lighting was cold and depressing, and in the evenings it was impossible to create any warm or cozy atmosphere. Everything technically worked, but the whole place clearly needs renovation and updating.
The window faced the inner courtyard, and during the night you could still feel vibrations and resonance from the metro passing nearby, which disturbed sleep more than expected.
The television setup was also inconvenient — regular TV channels were missing and only the smart TV system worked. It was unnecessarily complicated to use and there were no instructions provided.
What disappointed us the most, however, was the attitude towards guests after the stay. We accidentally forgot our electric shaver in the bathroom cabinet. The hotel quickly confirmed that they had found it, and I immediately offered to pay all shipping costs myself.

- Christine (9/5): Gemütlicher Aufenthalt, Innenstadt zu Fuß erreichbar, U-und Straßenbahn Haltestellen in unmittelbarer Nähe - Gute Lage, einfaches und funktionierendes check-in, große und helle Wohnung mit funktionierender Heizung. Vernünftiges und sauberes Geschirr. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt und würden wieder buchen. Der TV (komplett ohne Anleitung) und nur mit eigenen Streamingdiensten zu betreiben. Fernbedienung funktioniert nicht besonders. Als Nutzer von klassischem TV (ohne Streaming-Abo) nicht gut.
Manche Türen könnten einen Tropfen Öl vertragen, eine frische Toilettenbürste wäre kein Luxus.
- Frédéric (9/5): Top - Appartement tout près du centre
Facile au niveau communication (U, Tram etc)
Appartement tout près de la fin du marathon de Vienne
L'hôte a fait un effort pour nous rendre les clefs avant 16h Tout était nickel ==> aucune remarque négative
- Karin (10/5): Lascerei qualche genere di base, come sale, zucchero, tè e caffè, e aggiungerei anche alcuni prodotti da bagno (di solit - Posizione centrale e silenzio la notte. Appartamento arioso ed elegante.
- Martti (10/5): Perfect location and very comfortable stay! - The location of this apartment is one of its biggest advantages. We visited Vienna as a couple and wanted a place close to everything. The metro station is about one minute away, and many attractions can be reached in about 10–15 minutes on foot. Restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and supermarkets are also nearby. Even though the weather was very cold during our visit, the apartment was warm and cozy. The bathtub was one of our favorite parts. In the evenings we could relax there, drink a glass of champagne, and enjoy a romantic moment together. The apartment itself is very spacious and beautifully designed. High ceilings and large rooms give it a classic Viennese atmosphere. Everything was spotlessly clean and in excellent condition. There was no visible damage at all, and the furniture looked very well maintained. The property building itself is a typical Viennese building, which adds a very authentic charm. The beds were very comfortable, and we slept very well. The kitchen is well equipped and practical for daily use. It was easy to prepare coffee, breakfast, or simple meals. There is also a washing machine and other useful equipment for longer stays. The keyless entry system made everything very simple. Clear instructions were sent before arrival, so check-in was fast and easy. Communication with the host was friendly, helpful, and very professional. Every question was answered quickly, and we always felt well taken care of. The internet connection was fast and reliable, which was very helpful. Overall, the entire experience was flawless. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Vienna. -

- Ralf (8/5): Sehr schön, da und dort Luft nach oben! - Einrichtung/Ausstattung! Lage! Größe! Preis! Tageslichttechnisch gesehen eher auf der dunkleren Seite. - Fotos sind Fotos!!!
Bei Bezug funktionierten nicht alle Lampen (Flur und v.a. Bad).
Handwerker kam vorbei ohne vorherige Absprache bzw. Zustimmung von mir und während meiner Nicht-Anwesenheit. - Absolutes no-go!!!
Müllentsorgung im Innenhof ... naja.
Rechnungsübermittlung bei check out zugesagt, tatsächlich erst nach mehrmaligem Urgieren und nach ca. 10 Tagen erhalten.
- Riccardo (10/5): Posizione ottimale per visitare la città a piedi, grande appartamento con letti comodi - Posizione ottimale per visitare tutta la città a piedi, facile da raggiungere con i mezzi pubblici anche dall'aeroporto. Grande appartamento, con ampie stanze e letti comodi. Tutto perfetto!
- Antonijo (10/5): - Sve -
- Hercy (10/5): - Sve je bilo super, mirno i čisto, smješteno u centru grada.
- Luigi (8/5): Spazioso e centrale ma da pulire meglio - Indubbiamente un appartamento spazioso e comodo. Vicino ha supermercati, bar, metro e molti punti di interesse raggiungibili direttamente a piedi. 2 cose su tutto: parquet troppo rumoroso soprattutto in camera da letto. Se uno dorme, l'altro non può muoversi senza fare un casino.
Pulizia un po' sommaria. Testiera del letto (in tessuto), quadri ed alcune superfici con polvere molto visibile che evidentemente non venivano pulite da tempo.
Sono aspetti che in una struttura di questo livello non ci si aspetta di trovare.
- Corinna (1/5): Privacy and Safety concerns - The apartment is very close to the center Privacy and Safety Concern
I was allowed access to the building before official check-in. While I was already inside the apartment, a maintenance staff member entered without knocking or prior notice, assuming the unit was unoccupied. This was unsettling and raised serious privacy and safety concerns.
I raised this with the relevant peoole, however the follow-up response lacked full accountability and even referenced “the remainder of my stay” despite me having checked out over a week earlier, which further raised concerns about guest tracking and internal procedures.

- Mebrure Beyza (10/5): - Eşyalar eski ve otantik apartman da oyle ama cok temizdi. Konumu mükemmeldi. İlk girişte ufak bir sorun yaşasak da komşu olan biri sayesinde o da çözüldü. Viyanayi cok sevdim tekrar gelmek isterim Arayarak kapi açma işlemini sevmedim çünkü hattım çalışmadi bir sorun yaşadım ve o saatte dışarıda kalma korkusu beni gerdi
- Marco.B.78 (8/5): - Grosszügiges Appartement mit top Ausstattung
- elena (10/5): -
- Pasichnyk (10/5): Все сподобалось - Затишок, чистота, сама будівля
- Vimbai (9/5): Great value for money - Perfect perfect apartment. It’s even bigger than I expected
- richard (9/5): Un appartement agréable idéalement situé - L'emplacement est idéal, proche de tous les transports et notamment du métro. Les commerces, restaurants sont également tout près. L'appartement est très calme et spacieux. La porte des toilettes mérite un petit réglage et le parquet grince un peu.
- Frank (10/5): Tolles, geräumiges, sauberes Apartment, zentral gelegen. - Sehr geräumiges, freundliches Apartment, zentral gelegen aber ruhig. Sehr sauber, gute Kommunikation. Man ist schnell an allen zentralen Punkten der Stadt über ÖPNV , hat aber auch eine Tiefgarage quasi vor der Tür...
- Arturs (9/5): Жить можно.Но дорого - Все хорошо. Чисто. Просторная квартира. Два шага до метро и старого города. Коммуникация с хозяевами быстрая Апартаменты не очень уютные. За такие деньги хотелось бы и лучший дизайн. Кофе и чай, и бутылка воды в холодильнике. Не говоря уже о кофе машине. Этого ничего не было. Ни соли ни перца. Ни шампуня. Сменное белье тоже не было обнаружено. Хозяева не предложили варианта оставить чемоданы, вещи до ожидания самолета. А предложили заплатить еще за один день. В общем так себе. Второй раз сюда не заедем.
- Marvin (10/5): - Lage sehr zentral gelegen, absolut sauber. Check in per Code sehr einfach. /
- Fahad (10/5): Exceptional - Clean
In center Nothing
- Christine (8/5): Very good - The location is fabulous! Having both a washing machine and drying rack were wonderfully helpful. Hot temperatures during most days so a fan would've been much appreciated during evenings.
- Gizem (10/5): Exceptional - The location is perfect. We could reach the city center 15 minutes by walk. Additionally, metro station was very near the house like 1 min to reach the station. The house was bigger than i expected. It was easy to enter the house. The house was very clear and hygienic. The employees were very helpful. They informed me very detailed about reaching house. There is one thing that puting some items ,which can save the first day of holiday, would be great such as a bottle of water, a few filter coffee etc.
- Nicoleta (8/5): 2 nights - couple review - The location for it is close to the main attractions and you can just walk to any you wish. The subway is also nearby, you can go further and see more of Vienna. The apartment comes with everything you would need for a stay. I would recommend it if you are staying for a few days and want to visit a lot of the city center, you will save time from the commute. This is only my personal opinion:
- be aware that the rooms are high and in winter it can be cold (the room to the bedroom was closed when we arrived and it was cold on the first night even tho the rest of the apartment was warm, I do not know why the warming was not working in the bedroom).
- there is no TV in the bedroom (would really recommend to have one in the bedroom rather than in the living area since we were a couple and the bedroom would have been enough for us, but I understand why this would be great for more people - I will also add that there is no cable, you have to use your netflix account or any account to watch something).
- no bathroom toiletries /washing machine detergents (which would have been nice to have just because you have the drying rack and washing machine)
If you do not mind these things, then otherwise it would be great for rent due to it's amazing location and great space!
- Buby (9/5): Superb - All was ok. Maybe one salt and pepper to put in kitchen
- Aslı (10/5): Exceptional - Nice and simple place for a short visit. The location is very central, so it’s easy to walk to shops, restaurants, and public transport. It’s great if you want to explore the city without needing a car.
The apartment itself was basic but had everything I needed. The bed was comfortable, and the small kitchen was useful for making coffee and simple meals. The bathroom was clean, though a little old-fashioned, but everything worked fine.
The check-in process was smooth and simple. The host sent me the door code in advance, so I could let myself in without any problems. It’s great if you’re arriving late or don’t want to wait for someone to meet you.
The host was very responsive and helpful with any questions I had. For the price and location, it’s a good choice for anyone looking for a simple and central place to stay in Vienna.
- Apm (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was just perfect!
- Palmer (8/5): Very good -
- Mirjana (9/5): Superb - Perfect location, big spacious and good equipped apartment. Easy instructions for entering and check-in. Quiet for sleeping. We were mainly outside and can’t say anything aboute the kitchen utensils if it’s enough, but we would highly appreciated if there was a coffee machine and capsules. Overall, very nice apartment and if I will come again in Wien will use the same app. Nothing
- Yevgenia (9/5): Great location, very clean. Would stay again. - Great location, very clean. Would stay again.
- Neda (9/5): Superb -
- Michael (9/5): Beautiful apartment in magnificent Vienna - It's a spacious classical Viennese apartment with all the amenities you'd expect. High ceilings, wooden floors, the works. The location is very convenient, just a couple of minutes from the most important public transport connections. We met with our classmates, so we could even host a (quiet) dinner with them on one of the evenings in the apartment - the kitchen is very well equipped for that. There's a lot of storage space if you are staying for longer. It's an old apartment, some doors don't sit right and squeak, flooring is also not ideal. But these are all minor issues that didn't bother us much.
- Altan (9/5): Superb -
- Sorina (10/5): Great location, clean, quiet, well equipped appartment - The appartment is located withing walking distance of the city center, it is well equipped, perfect for a family or a couple. We slept very well, it was very quiet, because the windows were on the back of the building. Big rooms, which was really usefull when travelling with kids. The only thing we missed was some coffee, so we had to go to a coffee shop in the morning. I think having some coffee available early in the morning could be a very nice thing.
- Gustavo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eleni (7/5): fairly good according to what we paid - great location, very warm, spacious I expected to have some coffee... tea...shampoo
- Allan (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was very clean and located very close to the city center and restaurants
- Kathryn (8/5): Very good - The location of the apartment is very good, right in the middle of a lot of amenities. Very private and a large bedroom, living room and bathroom. The door to the toilet was difficult to open and close and there was a fair amount of little flies in the apartment.
- Габриела (8/5): Very good - Nice apartment, very clean. So close to the city center. We had a great time in Vienna. I liked the apartment with big ceilings and on quiet street.
The host answer very fast in the chat.
Easy access to the apartment and easy check in. Not enough blankets( only one thin blanket per person). Its not enough during the autumn, because outside the weather is nice like 20-26 degrees, but inside the apartment is cold.
No heating during the autumn.
The biggest problem is that the hot water in the bathroom is not hot at all. At first 30 seconds is hot and after that is just warm water and you are just freezing because there is no heating in the apartment. The pillows were thin and not comfortable.
- Alex (8/5): Very good -
- Gill (8/5): Spacious apartment in a good location. - Very handy for public transport to get around the rest of the city. Apartment was clean and nice to have space rather than a hotel room.
Communication from owners was great. It was quite hot when we were in Vienna, a couple of fans would make a huge difference. The windows face into an internal space so not much air flow.
- Simomoni (1/5): Terrible communication. - The position. I booked this accommodation for 2 nights for my parents who were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. On the second day my father was not felling good, they called the emergency and they both went to the hospital. They stayed there for 2 days. On the check out day, before check out time I called the property to warn them of the situation. The only favor I asked for was to be able to pickup their luggage later during the day (bags were ready). They kept saying that the bags had to be taken by the check out time. (For my parents it was impossible, and I was reaching them in the evening). I was called by many different people from the staff who spoke very bad English. After hours and hours they agreed to store the luggage in their warehouse in the same building. When my mother went to pick them up she waited over an hour for someone to come and open the door. The bags were practically thrown in a closet (but, never mind). She explained again to the staff the seriousness of the situation. Not only they didn't want to listen but they even asked for €30 for the service!!! A non-existent and bad service. What a shame! My father passed away the next day. The only thing I could say is that none of the staff is a human beings. I'm a host for more than 10 years, their profession is my profession too. The humanity does not exist in this place.
- Erika (9/5): Superb -
- Alex (8/5): Very good -
- Dan (9/5): Great stay! will likely be back. Already recommended it to two couples of friends. - Location easy to reach using U4 or U2. Very nice apartment, clean and well kept.
Prior to our arrival, great communication with Backpack. A little supplemental lighting (mainly in the kitchen) would have been nice, but as is, was not a real problem. A single bulb on the high ceiling was barely sufficient. The door knob of the WC needs some attention/adjustment.
- Duncan (9/5): Elegant apartment in a great location - Very stylish, comfortable apartment in a great location. Very spacious.
We loved it. Too many e mails and messages prior to arrival.
- Rachel (9/5): Superb - The apartment is beautifully decorated, spacious, clean, very quiet, comfertable and well heated (we stayed during winter).
We loved staying in for 5 nights!
Check in (during the night) was very simple.
Tram and bus stations are 3 minutes walk, but the near by U train is less relevant as it does not pass through the main attractions.
Bed is firm and comfortable, the bathroom is huge but does not include a shower, only a tab.
The kitchen is lovely, well aquiped and clean but there are no basic materials such as salt, sugar, oil etc (un-like other short term rental we've been to over Europe.)
The stuff (we didn't meet, connection only via mails and phone) were helpful and responsive. There is no key to the apartment door, only a code. Although we were guaranteed no one has the code, we didn't feel sefe not being able to lock the door at night.
- Jill (7/5): An apartment with a WOW factor but lacking in home comforts. - The apartment is just as described and shown in the photographs, although much larger than I expected, it has very large rooms and high ceilings. It is in an excellent location, very close to a major tram junction and subway station. It is ideally situated for sightseeing and close to one of the largest Christmas Markets.
It has been decorated and furnished to a high standard and the kitchen is well equipped with utensils and crockery etc. Check in was easy although you will need to be able to phone a local number to trigger the front door of the building to open. Once you have done that you will have keys that are left inside the apartment.
Communication with the agents was excellent, I had a problem with the heating and they responded extremely quickly, and we were able to resolve the problem.
The bed was extremely comfortable and the apartment spotlessly clean, and is very quiet, overlooking an internal courtyard so no traffic noise, it was also extremely warm (I was there in December). I was aware before I booked, from reading the listing and reading reviews, that there were no extras with this apartment. Even so, it was disappointing to discover just how much was absent. Having stayed in many apartments before I have had much more welcoming experiences.
There was absolutely nothing here that didn't have to be, no welcome gift, nothing at all in the kitchen, not even a teabag. For anyone who books an apartment because they want to be able to cook this place is not a good choice. No one wants to have to go out and buy salt, pepper, oil, tea, coffee sugar etc if it is only a short stay.
There is only one waste bin (in the kitchen) so every time there is anything for the garbage you have to walk to the kitchen. There was only one spare toilet roll, only two dish washing tablets, no laundry detergent, no spare bag for garbage, no shampoo or shower gel (there was liquid soap), no hand towel in the WC, only one drying cloth for dishes and the dish washing sponge wasn't even new. No books or magazines which are often to be found in other rentals.
I booked specifically because it has a bath but unfortunately the bath is so large that it is impossible to have a hot bath, the water is not particularly warm and by the time the bath is filled to a decent depth it is only lukewarm. I am not sure anything can be done about this and I do realise that the temperature of a bath is a personal preference.
It wouldn't take much in terms of cost to make this a much more welcoming apartment. Although I got exactly what was advertised I wouldn't stay again because of the lack of these simple to supply extras.
- Radostina (10/5): Exceptional - Extra large and comfortable apartment. The self-checking was easy and fast!
I was impressed with the high ceiling and big bathroom.
The best value for money in the city centre.
- Revital (10/5): excellent - Very clean, quiet, cozy, spacious. Very close to the town hall, excellent transportation near the house.
- Erika (8/5): Very good -
- E (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location to visit the city
Lot of space
Nice, nice decoration and comfortable
Very well equipped
Calm
Easy to get in The bed mattress a little bit too hard. But we understand it is a personal feeling
- N (8/5): Fantastic spacious and quiet appartement - Very spacious and clean appartement at excellent location. Bed had old and saggy mattress. Second bed is a sofa bed, which was not clear when booking. Was a good sofa bed though.
All dishes and glasses were very dirty, I had to wash them again. Possibly because there are only 2 dishwasher tablets available. What could be improved is to provide some simple basics: dishwasher tablets, coffee filters, pepper, salt, sugar and shower gel. That would have made just the difference.
- Eli (10/5): Superb location. Clean, spacious and well-equipped property. Great value for money. - The location is superb - just on the border of the Ring, next to a subway station.
The staff was helpful and responded promptly. Special thanks to Dmytro!
The rooms are spacious, the bed is superb, the furniture new, clean and comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped, wi-fi works great - everything you need to explore Vienna! Keep in mind that the communication with the staff is "contactless" - only through messages. It means that you must have a working internet and cell connection right upon your arrival to Vienna. Otherwise you will have trouble communicating with their wonderful and helpful staff.
- Ron (8/5): Nice spacious flat in central Vienna, not really fully quipped for a short stay - Very spacious flat, plenty of room for our small family. Quiet yet central, and it even stayed fairly cool despite a two-day heat wave with temperatures outside going up to 36 Celsius (~97 Fahrenheit). Very well located for public transportation so easy to get anywhere in Vienna pretty fast. The flat comes "fully equipped" but that's not accurate. While it has all the kitchen appliances plus cutlery, pots and pans, and even a dishwasher and washing machine, that's about it. There is no salt, sugar, tea or coffee, no filters for the coffee machine or laundry detergent. When coming for a five day stay I don't think I should have to run around and buy things which I'll use a fraction of before leaving. These few small bits (plus toiletries) would have actually made this flat "fully equipped" and much nicer to stay at.
