196 rooms on Bloch-Bauer-Promenade, on the Sonnwendviertel side of Wien Hbf

Why guests love it

B&B Hotel Wien-Hbf works for families thanks to its family rooms and its setting in the Sonnwendviertel, a new residential district rather than a station square. Helmut-Zilk-Park, the quarter's central green space, gives children room to run after a long day in a train. The 196 rooms are air-conditioned, welcome in a Vienna summer, and some are wheelchair accessible. Decor is simple and functional, so do not expect a pool or kids' club. The location on the south side of the tracks means you should plan a tram or U-Bahn ride for the old town. Guests rate it 9 from 2,663 reviews.

Design hotel opened in 2015 beside Wien Hauptbahnhof, with tram D close by

Why guests love it

Opened in May 2015, it has around 533 air-conditioned rooms, compact rather than spacious, a lounge bar and a paid breakfast buffet that starts at 06:00 from Monday to Friday and at 07:00 at weekends. A garage serves guests who arrive by car, for a fee, and pets are accepted on request. With 5,213 reviews averaging 9.0, guests rate the cleanliness and the location highly, while some mention that the air conditioning struggles in summer.

114 rooms in Vienna's 1888 State Printing House, beside Belvedere Park

Why guests love it

Families get two things here that a hotel by the platforms rarely offers: Family rooms in the hotel's own room categories, and Belvedere Park across the street for children to run off a long train ride. The building is the former State Printing House from 1888, so rooms have high ceilings and big windows. The sauna and fitness room suit parents more than children. The weak point is the station link: Wien Hauptbahnhof is about 20 minutes on foot, so with small children and suitcases take the S-Bahn two stops to Rennweg instead. Pets are accepted. Guests rate it 8.4 across 1,712 reviews.
