Lonely Planet Top Choice
"With over 300 years of experience under its belt, Stefanie is a hotel with plenty of history and character, but also enough modern amenities to satisfy most guests with picky demands." Full review

"Travelers who want to step back in time love the ambience here." Full review
EuroCheapo "A four-star option in the gentrified neighborhood of Leopoldstadt, the Hotel Stefanie is closer to the Schwedenplatz—just over the bridge crossing the Donau Canal—than many Innere Stadt hotels." Full review
