The check in and out instructions were clear. The room was clean. It was in a nice area and near public transportation. The TV and wifi worked perfectly.
Everything fine except check-in instructions should note the keybox is up the three smallxflights of stairs, as there are three keyboard; one outside, one, inside, and the correct one, several flights up. Friendly cleaning staff, TV good for media, and coffee maker appreciated!
I liked it was cozy, welcoming, easy to access, clean, and the area around is beautiful.
What I didn’t like is that it was too hot inside with only a very small fan in the room, also sometimes it was too loud in the area that i hear the music noise inside the room.
God and fair deal for this room.
It is placed very closed to center and all tourist attractions, but is situated in a very quiet neighbourhood.
The room was nice and clean with simple and functional furniture. The size of the room was bigger than normal hotels which is nice. Access to a new large kitchen was excellent for making your own breakfast (supermarket around the corner with freshly baked bread).
No AC, unfortunately. Otherwise, employees are nice, easy self check-in. There is a restaurant on the ground floor which doesn’t close until 10 or 10:30pm, bring your earplugs if you want to leave the window open.
Great Location near metro etc. has shared kitchen..free self service laundry. Not luxurious BUT cant neat value for price. Clean _ Great housekeeper.
Tricky location of checkin box.actually on 2nd level..you will get it.
Also Do NOT eat at that Nasty overpriced recommended Pizza place - plenty of places to chose from. Also grocery stores a few blocks away.
Riess city hotel in Vienna is in s very strategic location, only few steps from the Tram D stop that will take you to the most important Museum in the city. The hotel was recently renewed and the personal in very helpful. I highly recommend it.

Check in was confusing with more than one lock box. We arrived at 240pm but had to wait for the key dispenser to activate by 3pm ( room ready guest waiting - unremarkable)
Television had some increadibly irritating narrator always on “volume 12” , xyz show - cant touch rhe control withoutbthe tv talking
This is a wonderful place to stay in central Vienna, just outside the ring. There are excellent amenities with lovely restaurants and cafés nearby. City Hotel Riess could make it easier to contact them with questions or concerns. No lift so you need to carry heavy luggage up 3 flights, but worth it for the price and convenience. Cleaning staff were helpful and friendly.
We never received a email with our check-in code and had to call support. It took calling 4 times before we got through to someone.
The property was also extremely hot with not air conditioning. I would not stay here during the summer. I also want to mention that the luggage storage was accessible by all guests and I would be hesitant to leave any valuables there.
