Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Hotel Motto from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Motto impresses guests with its stylish and modern decor, often described as beautiful and kooky. Many appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring details like claw-foot tubs and even kitchenettes. Its location on Mariahilferstrasse, next to the Neubaugasse metro station, is a definite plus, providing easy access to shops, restaurants, and attractions like the Naschmarkt, though a few guests found the breakfast to be on the pricier side since it is a la carte. The rooftop bar and restaurant offer great views and enjoyable experiences.

The room had customizable lighting features. Organic bath products by St Charles were included. I liked them a lot. Motto Bros bakery almond croissant tasted very good.

The hotel lacked a proper lobby. It was difficult to find a spot for a simple drink without a reservation.
