Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Urania provides spacious rooms, with some guests particularly appreciating the large size of the rooms. Its location allows for convenient access to transport links and is within walking distance of Stephansplatz, with a sandy beach by the river also nearby. The breakfast receives positive feedback, even though a few guests found it somewhat limited. Notably, the hotel's proximity to the S7 train line from the airport (a 10-minute walk) is a definite plus for travellers.

easy transport links comfortable bed large desk

I found the public transport connections easy to use. The U-Bahn station was only a short walk. The room included a comfortable bed and a large desk (very practical for getting some work done).

friendly stuff good room size comfortable bedding tight bathroom limited breakfast small coffee table

the stuff was really friendly. my room had a good size. i had very comfortable bedding.

the bathroom felt very tight, especially the toilet area. breakfast needed more hot food. a proper table would have been nice for working instead of a small coffee table.

Fantastic Stay Near City Center

perfect cleanliness comfortable bed unique design thoughtful touches

The cleanliness was great. The room felt new! I slept soundly on the comfortable bed. The interior design was unique. Every detail felt special. I was impressed by the thoughtful touches throughout the room.

The bathroom felt very small. Especially around the toilet area. It could benefit from a bit more space.

A Stay with Some Minor Drawbacks

great location unique decor spacious room black mold unheated toilets no air-conditioning

The location is great. It allows for easy access to public transportation. The room decor was lovely and unique. The room felt quite spacious too.

The bathroom had black mold. This was present in multiple places. The toilets were super cold. It seems they are not heated at all. There is no air-conditioning provided. I was sweating the whole time inside the room.
