The hotel is centrally located on a quiet one-way street. The service is superb and the building is extremely well-maintained. There's great attention to detail here and you won't be disappointed. The wifi is not the best but everything else made up for it.

Nice little hotel. Well located. Clean and comfortable. But I felt pressured by the description clerk to buy the hotel’s breakfast. Glad I didn’t because there is a fantastic 100 year old cafe very close by. I suggest you go without their 30 euro breakfast. Go left out the front door, left at the end of the block. Walk one block and Cafe is almost directly across the street.

Super hotel

Beautiful room in stylish hotel. Well located in quite spot within walking distance of city centre and museums. Didn’t bother catching public transport during our stay, other than to and from airport, which was easier than we had anticipated. Staff very friendly and breakfast was great, well worth the money. Would recommend.

I had my wallet stolen inside the hotel I lost 500 euros. Four day after it was stolen, the wallet appeared on my bed in my room. I filed a police report and will take legal against this hotel.

Excellent hotel

Hotel Josefshof am Rathaus is a gem in Vienna. The breakfasts are simply incredible—elaborate, fresh, and the perfect start to the day. The staff are warm, professional, and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Rooms are spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, offering a restful stay. The location is ideal: tucked in a quiet, charming part of town right behind City Hall, Parliament, and the Supreme Court, yet just a short walk from all the major sights and only steps from the underground. Excellent restaurants are nearby as well. My only quibble is that the internet could be better in some of the upper rooms. That said, I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
