Meininger Hotel Vienna Downtown Franz Hotel

A great value for staying close to the city center at an affordable price. Walking distance to many attractions. The hostel is quite Supermarket around the corner made things very convenient. The location is across the river but it's not a far walk. The hotel was conveniently located, very clean and had the convenience of a guest kitchen and laundry (for a small fee). The staff was very efficient and even checked us in 45 minutes before the scheduled check in time. Turned out a bit pricey because they charge per bed but still very reasonable overall.

Rooms were slightly on the smaller side however this is common for such hotels in Europe. But facilities are clean and tidy. Breakfast were nice with many options. Also, they have a small kitchen for general use round the clock which is nice. Staff was very cooperative and helpful. The room on the first floor was bit basic. Even the room painting was incomplete. The other room was better. The place is bit away from the City attractions however there is a tram stop just 250 meters away to reach all major points. Also, you can travel two tram stops or walk around 12 min to reach the central tram cum metro station Schottenring. There are some food shops including an Arabic one nearby, from where we could get some rice and chicken. Supermarkets also nearby. Overall our stay was nice. Better to ask for rooms on higher floors.

Meininger Downtown is a modern establishment on a quiet street, within 10 to 20 minutes walk from the Vienna Ring and located near two tram stops (use Obere Augartenstrasse to go into town). Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I had a load of washing in the communal washing machine when we had to leave to catch a tour, I asked at reception if they would assist and they kindly offered to remove the clothes from the machine once it has completed its cycle and even offered to pop it in the dryer for me!
