Vienna offers a complete range of hotels. The quality of Vienna's hotels is generally good, and prices are much higher than in neighboring countries, though deals can be frequently found.

In choosing an accomodation it is important to know which part of the city you want to spend time in. Most accomodations claim to be centrally located, which for the Viennese would mean they should be in or next to the 1st District, which only a few are. Many are even outside the core districts 2-9. Still, all of them are located within about a 5-minute walk to an underground or at least a tram station, so you can get to the center within 20 minutes on public transportation on all of these listings, most take considerably less.

A quick reminder about adresses and districts: the number preceding the street name is the district. So 9. Badgasse 26 is Badgasse #26 in the 9th district. These can also be made into a postal code by substuting it the the XX: A-1XX0 Vienna (0X for districts below 10), for instance A-1090 Vienna for the 9th district.

Non/smoking: Since it is still culturally accepted to smoke in Austria hotels don't have as many non-smoking accommodations availible as in other countries. Non-smoking rooms are in limited supply, and hotels with non-smoking floors are rare, so even if you have a non-smoking room you may find that the public areas of the hotel, including sometimes the corridor outside your room, are heavy with tobacco smoke.
