Frommer's "Its central location makes it a neighbor to the university and the Votivkirche." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Built in 1872, the hotel still has an elegant flair combined with all modern comforts. There are conference and banqueting halls and three restaurants."
Star Service "This attractive, late-19th-century Ring Strasse building offers well-kept but dated traditional accommodations to a varied clientele." Full review

Light sleepers might avoid rooms on lower floors, which can resound with noise from the Ring, and the fifth floor rooms underneath the fitness area.

"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

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."
