The B&B Hotel Wien-Hbf Vienna is a 3-star chain hotel on Bloch-Bauer-Promenade, in Favoriten (the 10th district), behind the central station. It is a practical option if you arrive in or leave Vienna by train and want a functional room with air conditioning.
Location and getting around
Vienna Central Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof) is about a 10-minute walk away, with long-distance trains and connections to the rest of the city. The Belvedere is about 20 minutes on foot, a comfortable walk if you want to see Klimt’s The Kiss.
The historic centre is too far to walk: the State Opera is 2.6 km away and St Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom) 3.1 km. For those trips, take the U-Bahn or a tram from the station.
Rooms and facilities
All rooms have air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a desk, a wardrobe and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. The bathroom is private, with a shower and hairdryer. The building is smoke-free.
A buffet breakfast is served in the morning. There is no mention of a restaurant, a bar or a 24-hour reception.
Who it suits
- Travellers linking Vienna with another city by train who want to sleep near the platform.
- Visitors giving a morning to the Belvedere and its gardens.
- Couples who want a simple room with air conditioning in summer.
Good to know
Check-in is from 15:00 and the room must be vacated before 12:00. Do not expect the services of a large hotel: this is a chain property designed for sleeping and breakfast. There are more options in this category under 3-star hotels.
