As if Vienna wasn't magnificent enough, this hotel just kicks everything up several more notches! From the efficient and friendly (English-speaking) staff at check-in to the turn-down service at night, our stay was simply fabulous. The rooms are large and well appointed. Every last detail has been thought of, including courtesy umbrellas in the closet, bathrobes and slippers, stationery and more. We loved our balcony with its view up and down the street. The breakfast is simply superb--the best I have ever had in Vienna. There is an ample selection of pastries, meats, cheeses, yogurts, and more, plus a hot menu you can order from if you prefer. The hot chocolate is utterly divine. We will definitely be back when we come to Vienna again!
There was zero room for improvement. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Reception staff very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We had complimentary champagne on arrival as they knew we were celebrating our silver wedding anniversary. Great location. Breakfast plentiful and so much choice. Very warm greeting at breakfast. Beautiful decor and everything you needed and more, was provided in the room. Turn down service in the evening and chocolate - lovely touch.
Our bed had a visible hardwood board under the mattress?? However, the bed was still comfortable, but I guess that could have been hidden. 2 single duvets instead of one double? Some of the waiting staff at breakfast appeared stressed, and emotional. However, some of the guests were quite rude to them, which can't be easy for them.

Comfy beds
Breakfast was very disappointing. Cheese selection very poor . Same for fruits . No concierge on location when needed . It seemed that the concierge comes at 10 am , leaves at 5 pm . I was never able to find him . Staff were not able to help with directions and recommendations and were annoyed when asked , which was a big blow for me as a tourist who usually depends on concierge for tips directions and recommendations, dinner reservations or to get taxis . Has to google and do my own research and my own reservations They had a piano player from 5 to 11 . Unfortunately, it was more noise than music or anything else . She kept making mistakes , classicL pieces were distorted . We could not stay more that 10 min

Johann Strauss even celebrated his 50-year jubilee at the hotel in 1894.
In 1945 The Grand Hotel Wien shut its doors due to the occupation of Russian troops for 10 years and then to the International Atomic Energy Agency who used it for their headquarters until 1989.
