The Schlosshotel Römischer Kaiser is one of Vienna's most traditional hotels, offering an ideal city center location in a quiet side street of Kärntner Straße. The Karlsplatz Underground Station (lines U4, U1, U2) can be reached within a 5-minute walk. Built in 1684 and family-owned since 1904, this small baroque palace is only a few minutes’ walk from the State Opera, the Hofburg Imperial Palace and St.
Stephen’s Cathedral. All rooms at the Schlosshotel Römischer Kaiser are fitted with a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a laptop-sized safe and a mini-bar. Coffee is also available in the lobby, 24 hours a day.
A rich breakfast buffet is available from 07:30 to 11:00 and breakfast can also be consumed in the privacy of your room. Numerous restaurants, bars and cafés are in the immediate vicinity of hotel, as well as the Ringstraßengalerie, an inner-city shopping mall. Schlosshotel Römischer Kaiser combines a stylish ambiance with modern comfort.
All rooms and suites are individually furnished, and the bathrooms, fitted with a bath tub, are designed in an original Gianni Versace style. The Stephansplatz Underground Station (lines U1, U3) is a 7-minute walk away.

Location of this hotel can't be beat. Not more than 15 - 20 minutes from the furthest attractions, all easily walkable. Breakfast is more than enough, and very good. The staff was quite helpful, too!
Could not regulate the heat in the two rooms we rented. It was either too hold or too cold. It's nice an toasty for a winter day, but sometimes too toasty. Also, the shower hardware needed some updates, and wouldn't stay up properly.

Location - centralized .the main entrance leads to the subway about 10 mins straight path and there is a back exit which is about 5 mins away to another metro .Both ways about 3 stops away from the Wien hbf.There is a Burger King nearby .In a quiet yet bustling neighborhood .
Room - Thank you for the complementary upgrade to a Junior Suite. Everything in the room was excellent , housekeeping was fantastic.
Breakfast - enjoy the deco of the breakfast area .The spread was alright as both of us were vegetarian .
I will stay here again if I am coming back to Vienna .
The shower area -only one panel of the glass to keep the water splashes during showering but not enough .The water overflows to the floor after each shower and the toilet area was not spared as well .

We loved the charming decor and the spacious room with a great bed and huge bathroom. We didn't have breakfast there. The location is excellent, situation slightly off the main pedestrian area and close to anything you'd want to see in the heart of Vienna.
The room's windows gave onto a dark and tiny inner courtyard. We were on the first floor, so the other windows look down on us. We felt better after drawing the curtains, but it was quite dark. Fortunately we were out most of the time so it didn't really matter.

Excellent location. Superb breakfast. Everything and everywhere was clean, well appointed and cool
The cleanliness and facilities of the bathroom were very good, but its design had not been carefully thought out. Due to the bath panel only opening inwards, access to the bath, for bath or shower, was difficult due to the positioning of toilet - not so easy for the more elderly clients and somewhat of a squeeze for any age.

Amazing location minutes from many of the best sites and restaurants in the inner city. Lobby was quaint and comfortable. Nice Viennese vibe to the property. Shout out to the staff for courtesy and helpfulness. We had booked breakfasts for our teenagers but they were not waking up on time, and the manager took the unusual step of allowing a full refund. much appreciated.
A little tired but fit with the old-school aesthetic.
