Our three-night stay at Hotel Josefshof am Rathaus was absolutely lovely. Our room was very well appointed, and the location was wonderful and just a short walk to the Museum Quarters and about a 15–20 minutes to Naschmarkt. On a somewhat unusual side note, we’re on an extended trip through Eastern Europe, and I recently had a knee replacement. I’ve had surprising difficulty getting extra pillows to elevate my leg at almost every hotel we’ve stayed in. The staff at Hotel Josefshof am Rathaus sent extra pillows up immediately. After a long day of sightseeing, we stopped in the bar for a glass of wine, and the staff even volunteered to bring me ice for my leg. It’s those little touches that go a long way and speak volumes about the attentiveness of the staff. I would highly recommend Hotel Josefshof am Rathaus.

The Hotel Josefhof is in a great location for all the Vienna sights, close enough to be walkable, but far enough away as not to be noisy. Our room was very quiet, comfortable and well appointed. The staff members were very helpful. The bar and lounges are on the small side.

The hotel was amazing and had one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. Its location was excellent, just a 14-minute walk from both the Rose Garden and the Hofburg. The staff were incredibly helpful, especially Luca, Florian, and Annalena, who made our stay even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again.
