Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Living Hotel Kaiser Franz Joseph is favored for its convenient location near transport links, including a subway station and tram stop, making it easy to access Vienna's city center and airport. Guests often appreciate the spacious and functional rooms, many of which feature a well-equipped kitchenette, sometimes lacking utensils initially. The surrounding neighborhood offers a peaceful environment, and some rooms boast lovely views of the hills around Vienna, while a few guests found the beds to be less comfortable due to the two single bed setup instead of a double bed.

The location is good outside the city, it is a very chic district with beautiful buildings. You can find cafés, bakeries, restaurants and shops close by. The hotel apartment was fully equipped with kitchen utilities. There are TWO supermarkets next door.
The ROOM was very small, it was hard to move around. Employees open the door without knocking, even to check the minibar. They don't ring the bell. I got a scare! The room cleaning was terrible, and the employee left the window open after cleaning, so the room was freezing.
