Guest Reviews
- Pedro (10/5): Buena relación calidad precio - La ubicación y limpieza La habitación con 2 camas sencillas
- Grahame (9/5): Absolutely superb place to stay in Venice not the cheapest but a very niche accommodation in a stunning building - Great Location, beautiful historic building No fridge
- Nurdan (7/5): - Good location Old building connected to Church, no TV, no seperate keys for out doors
- Simona (9/5): Ottima posizione per visitare Vienna - La posizione dell'alloggio è molto centrale e vicina alla fermata della metro. La stanza era pulita e comoda. La colazione abbondante e varia. L'assenza di bidet...un pò un problema per noi italiani...ma possiamo farcene una ragione.
- Parizot (10/5): - L'emplacement du logement à été idéal afin de visiter le centre ville de Vienne.
Chambre très bien située et propre. Je n'ai rien à dire.c'était parfait
- Malcolm (10/5): -
- Andrea (9/5): -
- Matilde (10/5): - Il personale gentilissimo, posizione super centrale e un ottimo livello di pulizia!
- Johanne (9/5): Excellent séjour dans cet établissement parfait pour les gens qui aiment le calme. - Emplacement idéal. On peut tout faire à pied dans le centre de Vienne. Tranquillité absolue! La chambre était grande et très propre. Le petit déjeuner toujours parfait, beaucoup de choix et personnel très efficace. À la réception, le personnel était aussi très efficace et gentil. La connexion Wi-fi ne fonctionne pas toujours bien, selon l'endroit où on se trouve. Excellente au 2e (petit-déjeuner) mais instable au 4e étage où se trouvait notre chambre.
- Michele (10/5): Il centro di Vienna al meglio - Tutto. Pulizia, ampiezza camere, tranquillità, posizione albergo, colazione, gentilezza staff. Niente.
- malgorzata (5/5): -
- Hilde (9/5): - L emplacement. Le calme...
- Isabelle (10/5): Magnifique pause monastique - Super bien situé au coeur de l'Inner Stadt. Calme, simple et reposant. Hors du commun. A conseiller !
- Susanne (8/5): -
- Donatus (9/5): -
- Ayesha (9/5): - Absolutely everything. It was quiet and centrally located. The staff were lovely and it was a special treat to be hosted by the monastery. I will definitely be booking this spot again.
- Concha (9/5): Alojamiento muy recomendable - Ubicación perfecta, habitaciones amplias y limpias, camas cómodas y muy buen desayuno.
Desde el hotel se puede recorrer el centro de la ciudad a pie.
Si volviese a Viena repetiría hotel. Todo fue bien.
- Adam (10/5): -
- Carlos (10/5): Impecable. Especial para personas que desean un lugar seguro, limpio y tranquilo en el casco antiguo - La historia de Benediktushaus, como sitio histórico, es asombrosa: fua una sorpresa muy agradable poder gozar de su tradición centenaria de brindar alojamiento a los peregrinos.
La habitación fue sumamente cómoda, espaciosa, limpia, silenciosa, realmente impecable.
El desayuno, excelente.
Agradezco mucho la amabilidad y atención de todo el personal: front desk, desayuno, aseo.
- Josef (9/5): Sehr gute und im Preis-Leistungsverhältnis top Unterkunft - natürlich die tolle zentrale Lage
- Kuorikoski (9/5): Hyvä sijainti ja siisti huone. - Sijainti on loistava - lyhyt matka yleisimpiin nähtävyyksiin. Huone oli siisti ja sopii hyvin sellaiselle reissulle, jossa ei juuri vietetä aikaa hotellissa vaan käydään nukkumassa ja aamupalalla. Kirkon kellot kuuluu hyvin huoneeseen aamu seitsemästä alkaen.
- elisabeth (9/5): Très bonne adresse. - Emplacement, accueil, professionnalisme et organisation. Qualité du choix dans les petits déjeuners. /

- aeb3964d547372064f2036096ad7f7ee (10/5): We recommend this to our Friends - We had a very warm welcome! It was my birthday and the staff brought sparkling wine and chocolates to our room after an early check-in. We have stayed here before and like the feel of the place. The breakfast was very good.

- 1b04d577444b71207469c9dd3dc6e669 (9/5): We loved our stay and we would go back. The location and customer service were excellent - The Location was fantastic. Right in the city centre of the city, we could walk everywhere.
Service was fantastic, the manager at the reception was extremely welcoming and accommodating. We would certainly go back
- Lorraine (10/5): Really enjoyable stay, highly recommended. - Staff were friendly and attentive. They helped us book a trip to Bratislava for the day finding the travel times and options. They were always willing to offer support and everyone was friendly at breakfast.
Rooms were a good size and user friendly.
Great location for accessing food travel options shops and all the sites. Nothing it was fabulous. 🤩
- Rainer (8/5): - ...die Lage des Gästehauses, die bescheidene und saubere Ausstattung.
Das Frühstücksbuffet wude von den aufmerksamen und zugewandten Mitarbeiterinnen liebevoll angerichtet.
- Guest (9/5): -
- Roberto (9/5): La tranquillità di un monastero nel centro di Vienna - Posizione centralissima ma al contempo molto tranquilla, staff premuroso (vericato che uno degli ospiti compiva gli anni durante il soggiorno ci ha fatto trovare bottiglia di mini brut, 2 calici, cioccolata ed auguri in italiano), camera "Comfort" di recente ristrutturazione, piacevole e comoda. La solita assenza di bidet nel bagno, che pare essere un vezzo tutto italiano (ma che all'estero spesso manca anche in alberghi di categoria superiore)
- Gisela (8/5): Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt, wir kommen gerne wieder - Die Lage ist einmalig , das kirchliche Umfeld für uns wohltuend . Sehr schöne Atmosphäre beim Frühstück , besonders wenn die herzliche und wunderbar hilfsbereite Bozena da war ! Es wäre schön , wenn man im Sommer einen Garten benutzen dürfte . Es müsste noch klarer kommuniziert werden, vielleicht auch auf dem AB, dass es einen Code gibt, wenn die Rezeption nicht mehr besetzt ist . Wir hatten die Mail nicht gelesen unterwegs und mussten in der ersten Nacht, die natürlich schon bezahlt war , ein anderes Hotel nehmen .
- Alberto (9/5): -
- tracey (10/5): A unique place to stay. - Unique place to stay in the centre of Vienna. Very helpful, friendly staff. Nothing at all
- Federica (10/5): -
- ebrom (9/5): - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja do zwiedzania miasta. Wszystko co najciekawsze w zasięgu kilkunastu minut spacerku, a pozostałe atrakcje dostępne metrem.
- Pia (10/5): - The location is amazing and because of how the rooms are oriented very peaceful. The staff is beyond nice and super helpful. I was able to leave my bags at reception before check in and after check out so i could get in a few more hours of exploring without my luggage. I really enjoyed the breakfast.
- Carla (10/5): - Location, staff and breakfast Nothing really.
- Waltraud (8/5): -
- Manfred (9/5): Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft, die wir jederzeit weiterempfehlen können. - Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr zentral. Die Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten Wiens sind fast alle fußläufig zu erreichen.
Das Frühstück ließ nichts zu wünschen übrig.
Den fehlenden Fernseher haben wir zu keiner Zeit vermisst.
- Amit (7/5): - Best location.
Very few options in breakfast menu. Limited breakfast menu

Le métro a quelques rues de l’hôtel
Petit déjeuner varie Le confort des matelas un peu trop durs
- Kaya (10/5): - Tesis konum olarak cok ıyıydı Turistik mekanlara yürüme mesafesinde Sadece eskı bır bına olduğu için cok konforlu değildi ama sıcaklık rahatlık olarak oldukça ıyıydı
- Matthias (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft für Wienbesichtigung - Sehr zentrale Lage, gutes Frühstück- Wasserkocher im Zimmer. Koffer Aufbewahrung. Nichts

- Lorena (9/5): - A perfect location in the core of the city center.
We loved that it was situated in the monastery adding historical charm to our stay. A wonderful breakfast selection and warm and inviting staff. Although they may be negatives for some, we loved listening to the bells and we appreciated not having a television.

- Dr. Wolfgang (9/5): -
- Bettina (3/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): - Top Lage
- Patricia (9/5): - The location was great, with plenty within walking g distance but also public transport right outside. The staff were lovely and in the breakfast room the ladies were very helpful with gluten free options upon request. A lovely variety on food available. The rooms were basic but had everything we needed. The beds were not the most comfortable with thin mattresses.
- Jacqueline (8/5): Très bonne expérience -

- Bryant (9/5): - Staff was awesome, very friendly and helpful. Helped us arrange an early morning Taxi to airport on the day we departed.
Location was also great since this stay was all about visiting the Christmas markets! The bathroom shower door did seal very well at the bottom when closed which resulted in a lot of water on the bathroom floor after my shower
- Monika (10/5): -
- Liam (8/5): -
- Raúl (8/5): - The location is ideal for walking Vienna downtown and explore the city The breakfast was limited in options but good quality
- Nancy (10/5): Wonderful am planning on returning my next visit to Vienna! - Great location! We stayed there for the Christmas markets and everything was very walkable! I’m a little religious and was really nice to stay in Old
abbey! The lift only avoided some of the steps we still had to lug luggage up many steps
- REZZAN (9/5): - Yatak biraz sertti
- Vicky (10/5): Best stay in Vienna. Highly recommended. - Very clean , spacious and in central location. . Nothing
- Gema (9/5): - La ubicación, la amabilidad del personal la limpieza, el desayuno y la tranquilidad. Y la calefacción. Increíble todo esto y perfecto Solamente las campanadas que suenan desde las 7am y las camas son muy duras. A mi me gusta pero no creo que a todo el mundo. Ah y el ruido del baño al encender la luz y se queda tiempo después.
- Sofiya (10/5): I would definitely recommend this place to stay - for any duration of stay - It's located in the center of Vienna in the old catholic church - and that was the best surprise when we came! We loved the fact that we're living in the historical building with the long story. Also the bells 😍 loved the music. And the stuff is veeery warm and welcoming! Helps with everything! Everything was perfect
- Jenny (9/5): - Ubicación, personal, desayuno ,limpieza y baño almohadas muy incómodas aunque intentaron solucionarlo
- Anna (9/5): - Très bonne localisation et personnel très agréable
- MARINELLA (10/5): - Pulizia e vicinanza al centro La porta d entrata era chiusa e ho avuto difficoltà ad entrare
- Byron (9/5): A best kept secret in Wien. - Everything: Our room was simple but tasteful. The staff was warm, professional, and very helpful. Breakfast was amazing Nothing
- Tetiana (10/5): Затишний куточок в центрі Відня - Прекрасне розташування практично в історичному центрі, але людей при цьому менше, тихіше. Саме помешкання розташоване в старій будівлі, стіни товсті, тому було дуже тихо, тепло, затишно. Меблі не сучасні, але зручні та чисті. Матраци, постільне і сантехніка - нові. Гарно підібрано продукти для комбінації свого сніданку - було ситно і смачно. Дуже привітний персонал, нам дозволили поселитись раніше зазначеного часу, були постійно на зв'язку. Залишилось відчуття, що ми побували в гостях у добрих знайомих. Такого нема
- Pilar (10/5): -
- Michael (8/5): -
- Giorgia (8/5): -
- Robert (9/5): - Lage unschlagbar. Frühstück klein aber fein. Also gut und auch beim Frühstück nettes Personal. Weihnachtsmarkt direkt vor der Tür. Man muss wissen das zur Weihnachtszeit zwischen 6-22 Uhr regelmäßig ( 15 min) die Glocken läuten.
Was schon hard werd kann wenn man schlafen will. Aber dafür ist die Lage unschlagbar.
