Great location, for both Schwedenplatz metro and only 10 minute walk to St Stephens Cathedral. Room was nice, but the seating was quite uncomfortable, even just a nice seat pad would help. Also the shower was one that faced into the room, okay on my own, but I really dislike this trend. Private bathrooms are great! All those things aside, the staff were great, really helpful. Breakfast was good selection, and ate well. Also the bar is open 24/7 and was nice in the evening to sit with fellow travellers for a few drinks which were reasonably priced. Really liked the idea of swapping room cleaning for a free drink, a great idea.

This property was not what I expected especially for what I payed for. The actual hotel is located inside of what looks like an abandoned building. The check in was ok no complaints there. When we entered the room we noticed there was hardly and privacy on the bathroom area. The sink is literally in the room next to the tv and the shower is completely bare with no room for privacy when using the toilet. Our rooms air conditioning didn’t work at all. We slept with our window open the whole time of our 4 night stay. I also didn’t like how there was hardly and space to put clothing in just a very small closet with no drawers. The bed was also not comfortable I woke up with back pains every morning. The location is good but that’s the only plus from this hotel.

Hey Samantha, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the central location of our hotel. Ruby Lissi is nestled in Vienna’s historic first district, placing you right in the heart of the city’s vibrant history, bustling business locales, and exciting nightlife—all just a stone’s throw away.However, we're genuinely sorry to learn that the rest of your stay didn’t meet your expectations. While our city centre location offers lots of advantages, it does mean we have less space to play with. That's why we design our rooms in a unique way to make the best use of the area available – by integrating the bathroom into the main room, for instance. We understand that our approach, including the frosted-glass toilet and all-glass shower, might not be to everyone’s taste, but it's part of our effort to keep the rooms feeling open and airy. We aim for transparency with our room layouts and ensure plenty of photos are available on our own and our partners’ websites. We're also sorry to hear about your air conditioning issue—that certainly shouldn't have been your experience. If you ever encounter anything less than perfect or have any questions during your stay, our hosts are on hand 24/7 and more than happy to assist. It's a pity the bed did not provide the comfort you expected, as many guests find our beds a highlight of their stay.Next time, if there's anything we can do to make your room more comfortable, just ask one of our hosts. We hope you'll give us another chance sometime and stay with us again. Your Ruby Lissi Team

Hotel was placed near the main district with all the shops and local restaurants. The staff there was super helpful, we stayed there for 4 nights and overall its been a great experience. Mind you this isnt our first Ruby Experience, we stayed at Ruby Mimi in Zurich and we loved the decor. The only nitpick that did lower 1 star for the review is that they only had 1 lift working, the other one was in maintence or something. This means you would end up staring at the wall for few mins before the lift came up to the 2nd floor. There was construction work due to them fitting a rooftop bar but there was no mention of this while booking. However these two shortcomings did not deter from the whole experience and I would deffintely use Ruby hotels in countries where available.

Awesome boutique hotel hidden away from the mainstream tourist traffic, but in a perfect location. As a solo traveler it was safe and very convenient. The subway is steps from the door and restaurants and attractions are very walkable. Super cute decor and very clean. The only criticism I would say is there is no food available in the afternoon or evening besides pizza. The breakfast buffet is fine but you’d be better off walking to a close by coffee shop for the price. There is no fridge in the room, so even though grocery is close by you’re limited. On the other hand the staff is very helpful with recommendations for restaurants, and for help navigating the various sights to see in Vienna. Aside from the food I would not hesitate to recommend!

Very cool property, eclectic vibe, great staff. However, they need to remove the room numbers from the key cards. This is unsafe, and will allow anyone who happens upon a lost room key card to use it with ease. Also, the water temperature in the shower is not constant, and fluctuates from very hot too cool multiple times during any given shower. Otherwise, excellent stay, excellent location, excellent staff!

One star
I was told that by booking thru the app I was going to have a further discount which I proceeded to do. The hotel cost with hotels.com was slightly less then Expedia . Upon my arrival at the hotel I was told I had booked a room with one person. I was with my wife at the check in counter. The lady at the counter proceeded to tell me there was an extra charge for 2 persons in one room and I was charged an additional $15 Euro. I told her I have never encountered an hotel that would charge for your wife to be in the room. The cost ended up being more expensive at the end with hotels.com than any other site. Very marginal and dishonest.

Hey Angelo, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the confusion during your check-in. Since your booking was made through a third-party platform and not directly with us, we're limited in addressing the initial discount concern you mentioned. However, when a second guest is added at our end, we do levy a supplementary charge of 15 EUR per day. This covers additional amenities, laundry costs like extra towels and blankets, as well as operational costs associated with accommodating an additional guest.To avoid unexpected on-site costs, we recommend ensuring your booking reflects the correct number of guests from the outset. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Your Ruby Lissi Team

Wonderful stay!!!
This was a wonderful stay! The front desk and bartenders were so friendly. The hotel was so conveniently located for us. Not only could we walk everywhere, but it was so easy to hop on the subway and go to other parts of the city and most importantly the main train station, Wien Hbf. We were given the option to forgo housekeeping everyday for once every three days. In return, we received free drink vouchers-loved the eco friendly option!
