Overall, my experience at Hotel Josefshof Am Rathaus was quite positive, particularly thanks to the really good staff and the delicious breakfast offering. However, the heat in the room was a bit uncomfortable, which required opening the windows at night. Still, the location was excellent for exploring Vienna, making it easy to access nearby attractions.

Rooms

7.0

My room was a cozy attic space with lovely decor and modern amenities, including an espresso machine and clean towels. However, it was a bit too warm for my comfort, and I had to rely on open windows to cool down, which can be challenging in a bustling area.

I had a mixed experience at Hotel Josefshof Am Rathaus. The location was perfect for exploring Vienna, but the amenities left a lot to be desired. The staff seemed friendly but not particularly helpful, and the cleanliness of the bathroom was disappointing. Overall, I wouldn't say it was a luxury stay worth a four-star rating, but the quiet setting was a plus.

Rooms

5.0

My room was large with two windows facing the street, but the decor felt worn and in need of updating. The bathroom was not very practical due to water pooling on the floor when showering and also lacked thorough cleaning.

Service

5.0

While the staff had a pleasant demeanor at reception and provided us with maps, I found them lacking in helpfulness during my stay. There were times when I felt my requests weren't fully acknowledged.

Location

The hotel's location was one of its best features; it’s tucked away on a quiet side street yet close to major attractions. Public transport options were within a quick walk, making it easy to get around Vienna.

Dining

6.0

I can't comment much on the dining since I opted for cafes nearby, but I heard the breakfast options were decent although limited. A longer breakfast window could've been a nice touch.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities needed better maintenance, especially the bathroom fixtures. While I appreciated the option for room service and other amenities, the overall upkeep seemed like it fell short.

However, I did experience some issues with the often-disconnecting WiFi and the shower door design wasn't family-friendly.
