I had a pleasant stay at the Imperial Riding School. The swimming pool was refreshing and the breakfast offered a great variety of options. However, I found the decor in the rooms to be a bit dated, and the prices for some services, like the breakfast, felt quite steep.

Rooms

8.0

The Deluxe King Room was spacious and clean, although the decor leaned towards a boring beige. The bathroom was modern and equipped with both a bathtub and a shower.

Service

The staff were generally professional and pleasant, particularly when it came to the special touches for my partner's birthday. However, there were some communication issues regarding additional amenities.

Location

9.0

The location was convenient, close to the train station with easy access to the airport and central Vienna. It was also in a nice residential area, just a short walk from Belvedere Palace.

Dining

7.0

While the breakfast was delicious and offered many choices, I found the price of €28 quite outrageous. The Club Lounge was nice but also pricey, impacting my overall dining experience.

Facilities

I enjoyed the indoor pool each morning, which was a great way to start the day. However, the spa lacked adequate resting areas, and one sauna was out of order during my stay.

My stay at the Imperial Riding School was quite a mix of experiences, to be honest. While the location was lovely and the staff were generally friendly, the room I stayed in left much to be desired. It felt outdated and not very well maintained, which affected my overall comfort during my visit.

Rooms

5.0

The room I had was heavily outdated with amenities that felt like they were from the mid-90s. The bed, although comfortable, was overshadowed by the stained sheets and an uninviting decor. I felt the space lacked modern touches such as USB ports or a coffee maker, making it feel quite inconvenient for a longer stay.

Service

6.0

The staff were mostly polite and professional, but I encountered a few instances where their knowledge was lacking, especially regarding upgrades or room details. However, they were kind enough to assist when I needed help.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location was quite nice, just a short walk from St. Stephen's Cathedral and public transport. Although it wasn't in the heart of the tourist district, it made for a pleasant base to explore Vienna.

Dining

5.0

I found the breakfast option to be on the pricey side at €28. While the buffet had a good selection, I opted for a more affordable and delicious breakfast from a nearby cafe, which definitely suited my needs better.

Facilities

I appreciated the gym and overall amenity offering, including the pool and sauna. These facilities were attractive and still felt modern, giving me some enjoyable downtime amidst my stay.

My stay at the Imperial Riding School was enjoyable with some highlights. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, though it could benefit from a bit of modern decor. I appreciated the hotel's convenient location, just a short walk to public transport and the city center. However, I had an issue with my dinner at the restaurant, which didn’t meet my expectations. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but there's room for improvement in the dining experience.

I recently stayed at the Imperial Riding School, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. My room had a splendid view and was comfortable, though I did notice some issues with staff training and minor annoyances such as train noise. The location was convenient for exploring Vienna, making the occasional transport noise manageable. For an upscale stay, it didn't quite meet every high-end expectation, but I might return.

Rooms

8.0

My room was well laid out with a splendid view, but I felt it lacked some amenities that I would usually expect in high-end accommodations.

Service

While most of the staff were friendly and eager to help, I encountered some inconsistencies in training that affected my experience, especially regarding minor service issues.

Location

8.0

The location was great for accessing attractions like the Belvedere Palace and public transport. I found it easy to navigate the city, though being just outside the main area meant some travel required additional planning.

Dining

The breakfast buffet was wonderful and offered a variety of options, but I felt there could have been better amenities for dining at the hotel itself.

Facilities

7.0

I appreciated the small pool and well-equipped gym, which were good for unwinding after a day of exploring. However, I didn't get a chance to use them as much as I would have liked.

My stay at the Imperial Riding School was mixed. The club room was spacious and comfortable, and the staff provided excellent service, making me feel welcome. However, there were a few drawbacks including outdated design in some areas and some confusion regarding spa policies.

Rooms

7.0

The club room was impressively spacious and offered a great view, but the bathroom in the first room was missing a tub. The second room I was moved to rectified that, though some common areas felt a bit worn.

Service

8.0

Service in the lounge was truly excellent, particularly from Ehad who stood out with his warm personality. However, some staff members lacked warmth and engagement, which was a bit disappointing.

Location

7.0

The hotel is located slightly outside the city center, but with close proximity to the Rennweg train station, accessing downtown Vienna was quite convenient. I enjoyed the tranquility of the area, though some might prefer being closer to the bustling central sights.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast had a large variety, but the overall taste was lacking, and I was particularly concerned about cross-contamination at the omelet station. The quality of food could definitely be improved.

Facilities

6.0

The pool was beautiful but way too cold to use, and I was taken aback by the unexpected nude policy in the steam room that wasn't clearly communicated. The gym and garden were great assets, though.
