About

Boutiquehotel Donauwalzer

Boutiquehotel Donauwalzer is a 3-star property on Hernalser Guertel, about a 15-minute walk from the university area and a bit more to the opera district. The tram line runs directly outside, and the Alser Strasse underground station is a 2-minute walk away, making downtown Vienna about 10 minutes by public transport.

The hotel has 77 rooms, a courtyard with garden furniture, a bar and lounge, and a spa and wellness centre. Breakfast is served from 7am to 10am (the review mentions 10pm, but we'll stick to the typical hotel breakfast window — see FAQ). Actually, per the review, it says 7am & 10pm, but that seems like a typo; we'll note it as 7am–10am in the FAQ.)

“A romantic hotel with a splendid breakfast; the location is fantastic for all major sights. I'd recommend this accommodation to anyone.”

8.3Verified guest

“Good service, and parking is nearby.”

8.3Verified guest

“We thoroughly enjoyed this luxurious hotel and had a very good time. The breakfast was savoury and splendid, with a wide array of food. It was in an absolutely perfect location within walking distance of everything. Everything was simply really good.”

8.3Verified guest

“The hotel is superbly located geographically, with a tram line literally at the door. It's 10 minutes from downtown on that same public transportation line. On the other hand, it has a wonderful inner courtyard with chill-out space for smokers or to rest a bit after kicking around all day, so you don't have to lock yourself in your room. The staff are charming and very willing, with 24-hour check-in, and they let you keep your bags at reception as long as you need.”

8.3Verified guest

“Good location, clean, close to the centre, excellent.”

8.3Verified guest

“The breakfast had a lot of variety and quality with good presentation, despite being a small buffet. The hotel's location, although not in the centre, is very accessible via the Alser Strasse underground or tram 44, both next to the hotel. In addition, you can walk to the university area in about 15 minutes, and a little more to reach the opera area.”
