Difficult to communicate with the Owner
Pros:

The apartment was good inside despite the very old look of the building from the outside and the stairway.

Cons:

First of all it is an Airbnb not a Hotel. Than the communication with the owner is terrible. I wrote to the owner a day before my stay to ask him about my arrival hour and instructions to get the key. No response from him. Than next day I try to call him many times by the phone number that is in Booking but the phone was off. I arrived at the facility and called him many times, wrote an email, Whatsapp but no answer. In this moment I thought I was scammed. At around 15:00 he answered my call and send me the instructions.
If you own an Airbnb you have to find your time to answer to the clients at least in Whatsapp or in Booking.

Nightmare! Totally uninhabitable room with no water and no support from the host.
Pros:

OMG! No! The stay was unusable because of critical issues. Manager did not care to even respond

Cons:

OMG!!! No running water at all during the stay, despite advance notice posted on the building that they clearly knew about. No Wi-Fi provided despite repeated requests. I tried to contact the property multiple times and received no help or response. Completely unacceptable experience.

Easy access to tourist attractions and the city center; we really liked the National Library!
Pros:

Hotel located close to the U-bahn, easy access to the city center by foot, or to other tourist attractions by public transport. The room in the hotel was spacious (actually it was a bedroom, and another room with a sofa and a work table); towels changed every day. We also took a walk on the Danube Canal, by boat (the boarding/disembarking station is close). Overall, a pleasant visit to Vienna. Breakfast was not included in the room price. Near the hotel, there was a small shop where you could buy a sandwich and/or a coffee! For the price paid for the room, everything was fine, I would say.

Cons:

There are no negative comments, or so negative as to be mentioned here!

Pros:

We got an hour and a half earlier check-in, that we really appreciated. We payed a double bed room, we got an appartment. We had a fridge, a coffee machine, coffee and tea and sugar, cups and glasses, all neccessary we needed.
Beds were fine, everything was clean.
We got 10 minutes to metro and even less to the tram. Neighborhood was clean, quiet and well illuminated in the evening.
After check-out, we could left our luggage in one place we got a key for.
We are really grateful to our hosts because they were great.
We hope we'll come back once again and we will definitely recommend VOX Design Hotel to our friends.
Thanks!

Cons:

There's nothing we didn't like.

Hotel needs to be cleaned and renovated (see pictures)
Pros:

The heating worked well. The rest was bad.

Cons:

- Dirty (e.g. a lot of dust, no hovering under the bed for months, probably, see pictures)
- Facilities need renovation (e.g. water was flowing outside of the shower because of poor maintenance, see picture)
- There is no reception and staff does not always answer to phone calls or SMS.
- We had to buy shampoo and toilet paper because there was not enough for our stay and we could not contact the staff.

Very good
Pros:

Self check-in and self check-out, very convenient, especially when you're not very certain of your arrival times. The room was very spacious, with a safe and even a special corner to take care of your clothes, like hanging and ironint it.

Cons:

Nothing, everything was good

Don’t stay here.
Pros:

Location wasn’t too bad. Large apartment.

Cons:

Where to begin!? First of all they didn’t even reply to messages before check in, then upon arrival (self checkin) I punch in the code for the locker to open and no key inside! I tried using the calling pad next to the locker which they advised me to do in the email with checkin instructions - no ring or answer most probably out of order so I try calling the number of the accommodation. I call 7 TIMES BEFORE SOMEONE PICKS UP! They didn’t even know why there was no key inside! They then realise they sent me the wrong code! There was no apology, or any means to make up for THEIR MISTAKE! It took me about 20 mins to actually check in - which should have taken AT MOST 5 mins. I make it up to the room to find a broken toilet seat, a broken couch, a fake leather bed frame that was flaking off onto the bed and a shower that was growing mould. Not to mention the coat hooks on the wall that just fell off after using them once and the towel holder that is barely hanging onto the wall as well as the smell of marijuana in the hallway. They came to ‘clean’ the room which was just give new towels. There was no indication that someone would come and honestly, I didn’t like the fact someone came when I wasn’t there because I wouldn’t trust the staff at such an establishment. I wish it would be stated some where upon check in that on the following day someone would come to ‘clean’ the room so I could have cancelled because fresh towels were unnecessary after 1 night.
They didn’t even leave checkout instructions! I literally just left the key on the table and walked out.
There still has been no apology from the hotel about the problem with my checkin.
Save yourself the trouble and find some where else to stay. Yes, the location is OK but everything else was just TERRIBLE. SAVE YOURSELF THE STRESS AND FIND ANOTHER ACCOMMODATION!

Good
Pros:

Spacious room, with a sofa (wich was damaged but who cares),big bed and a good bathroom. Very heat, something really important if you visit Vienna when the weather is cold. Easy to find it and near the underground and bus stations.

Cons:

Unfortunately, 4 days there, the room didn't cleaned at all. The towels in the bathroom was dirty, the toilet has stamps on it and the hole apartment wasn't cleaned at all. You know, it's really important for your guests to provide them clean bedsheets, towels and space. Only the trash was cleaned from the litters everyday, nothing else.
If you change that policy, I believe that your hotel would be absolutely perfect. You have some great apartments,just change the cleaning policy please!

Perfect for a mini break in Vienna
Pros:

Good location about 10 minute walk from tram and underground stops. About 25 minute walk from Stephensplatz.
We were a family group of 3 adults and booked 2 double rooms. We actually had 2 mini apartments, each with a double room, sitting room with fridge and coffee machine and a bathroom.
The accommodation was warm and comfortable. Beds were very comfortable. Shower worked well and there was plenty of hot water.
The area was quiet. We were on the ground floor and heard no noise from outside or from other guests at all. There was some rumbling from trams but not loud enough to disturb us. I’ve read some reviews concerned the main doors aren’t locked at night. This really isn’t a problem because there was no sign at all of anyone coming in who shouldn’t be there. In fact, our impression of the whole inner city was one of law abiding people. We saw no one getting angry, no drunkenness. There is nothing to stop people skipping fares on public transport (I think they have ticket inspectors, but we didn’t see any). People are trusted to pay. We bought a ticket each on line.
The staff were friendly. I spoke with a gentleman on the phone and the lady in reception on our day of arrival and they were both very helpful. Otherwise, we didn’t see any staff, though I’m sure they’d have been available if needed. They very kindly checked us in much earlier than advertised and we were able to leave our cases. This was really helpful.

Cons:

There are 2 arched wooden doors to the property. The left hand one contains the reception, however there could do with being a sign on the door indicating this.
The accommodation looks quite basic, a bit tatty even, but don’t be fooled as it’s actually better than it looks.
