Michelin Guide "Splendid interior. The lobby is stylish, the dining rooms magnificent, and the rooms and suites lavish and elegant."
Frommer's "This hotel is definitely the grandest in Vienna. Luminaries from around the world use it as their headquarters." Full review
Concierge "This 138-room hotel veritably drips with royal treatment—right down to the hand-ironed newspaper your butler delivers with the morning coffee."
Fodor's "One of the landmarks of the Ringstrasse, this hotel has exemplified the grandeur of imperial Vienna ever since it was built." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A palace turned hotel for the 1873 World’s Fair that’s also known for an at-the-ready concierge department (staffers are adept at securing last-minute opera tickets)." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This hotel, rich in tradition, opened in 1873 and soon turned into a meeting place for Austro- Hungarian nobility."
Star Service "This property began life as the city's most prominent ducal palace and is now its most glamorous traditional retreat." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The former residence of the prince of Württemberg, converted to a hotel for the 1873 World’s Fair, this neoclassical palace is in a "great spot" on Vienna’s main boulevard." Full review

Frommer's "This updated government-rated four-star hotel is across the Danube Canal from St. Stephan's Cathedral, but it's still easily accessible to the rest of the city." Full review
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
DK Eyewitness "Named after the wife of Crown Prince Rudolf, Hotel Stefanie is located just beyond the Danube canal and only a few minutes’ walk from the city centre."
Rough Guide "A touch of well-worn splendour to the public areas, and some modern comforts in the rooms."

"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
i
The staff's attitude still reflects the old Leopoldstadt: ask for a restaurant recommendation in Leopoldstadt, and the concierge is likely to reply "There really isn't much of anything."
