Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel

Staff were great, especially the concierge who helped us sort out our trains to Budapest. Only negative was check-in. We had prepaid for an expensive room only to be told when we checked in that the room was not available. The front desk tried to upsell us to a room that was $100 plus higher a day than the room we paid for. We politely refused and said we wanted the room we paid for - and magically the room became available. Our superior room supposedly had a balcony with a view, more like a false balcony with no views.

Good staff and great location

Friendly staff, modern property.

My stay at this five-star hotel was enjoyable overall, though not without a few issues. The staff were generally receptive and responsive, but the reception team could have been more proactive about informing guests of amenities like the spa and breakfast services. The spa itself was exceptional, with staff maintaining a high standard of hospitality. The ground floor atrium was beautifully decorated, and the live piano performances in the evening created an elegant atmosphere. However, breakfast service on the second morning, during peak hours, was slow, and it was difficult to place orders beyond the buffet. Additionally, one staff member managing breakfast approached me shortly before service ended with a condescending tone, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant dining experience. On a brighter note, the chef preparing made-to-order eggs was exceptionally warm and friendly. The room was comfortable and meticulously cleaned by the housekeeping team. While the high-tech shower was impressive, there were some maintenance issues, including a defective towel warmer, loose tiles, and a sloped area outside the shower that was a tripping hazard. Persistent lighting from bedside panels was slightly inconvenient, and minibar prices were excessive for a hotel of this caliber. Despite these minor setbacks, the ambiance, spa, and overall service made for a mostly enjoyable experience.

We had an exceptional experience at the Anantara Palais Hansen during our visit to Vienna. This hotel truly lives up to its 5-star promise, exceeding all our expectations. The property is stunning, impeccably maintained, and embodies the level of luxury that American travelers associate with high-end hotels. Our rooms were spacious, beautifully furnished, and spotlessly clean, featuring large bathrooms with hot, invigorating showers. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to ensure comfort and style. The staff were outstanding—courteous, professional, and always willing to assist with a smile. Their dedication to service made our stay all the more enjoyable. Located in the heart of the Innere Stadt, the hotel is perfectly situated within walking distance of iconic attractions like the Vienna State Opera and Hofburg Palace. This convenient location made exploring Vienna a breeze. I highly recommend the Anantara Palais Hansen to anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable stay in Vienna. We would gladly stay here again on our next visit.

The bathroom was excellent, the bed was very comfortable and clean looking room.

Everythibng was perfect. Except for the digital water system in the shower that was a little unreliable

The only minus it was hot weather and was very hot in the room...

Nice room but not great value for money. Room service was excellent however checkout was disappointing as there was not enough staff and it became chaotic. Fabulous location.

Beautiful hotel and room, and excellent staff

Beautiful hotel with pleasant and luxurious feel, comfortable rooms, and impeccable service. We truly enjoyed our stay and will try to come back when we are back in Vienna!

The hotel is old and doesn't feel like luxury 5 stars experience. Cleanliness needs to be improved in the hotel's rooms and corridors. Also, the smell in the hotel isn't good, and it feels like it's old and unmaintained. Despite this, the breakfast is excellent and the staff is friendly and accommodating.

This is a true five star hotel

Very clean and professional Staff

Amazing stuff , great room , great breakfast - anything you need for great vacation

This hotel is an oasis. It cannot be faulted. Totally first class

Remember that there is No option to go the pool with a child after 4pm, which they do not inform about. So it is rather family unfriendly hotel. Disappointment. The staff in spa do not speak english.

Nice property but terrible reception staff!! It is a shame that such a big investment in customer comfort is completely ruin by incapable front desk staff. It is a shame to spend 1000 euros a night and not get the service you paid for!!

Not too bad, used to be better. Room service menu and wine list could be improved. Buffet breakfast not as good as other places.

Excellent stay. Location. Check in. Cleanses Lobby café. Breakfast buffet Room condition Thanks Onay for your help at check out
