ibis Wien Messe

Stayed at Ibis Wien Messe for a couple of nights while in Vienna for a football match. Rooms are clean and spacious, bar / seating area is perfectly fine and the breakfast is OK (although I really didn't appreciate being chased around the breakfast area for payment, that was unnecessary). Overall though, recommended as a very good value hotel for visiting Vienna. Location is good, 2 minute walk to the subway station and only a couple of stops from the city centre, no more than 5 minutes.

Perfectly comfortable and clean, and good for the price range. Staff were friendly, the room was clean and spacious and the toilet/shower facilities were good. Location was good, with two u-Bahn and one S-Bahn stations within 5 mins walking distance, giving easy access to the Vienna transport system.

I have nothing bad to say about the hotel or the room, they were just as I expected from ibis, simple but clean and functional. However, I downgraded my review by one star because of the outrageously slow and malfunctioning hotel WiFi. The room price was more than double the standard rate due to a large conference taking place at Wien Messe, but despite that I had a WiFi experience that was akin to using a telephone modem to connect to the internet some 20 years ago. Not only was it unbearably slow, but it also broke every few minutes and then took another few minutes before it was back. When connecting to the network there was an option to pay extra for a "Premium" connection speed, which I did, but there was absolutely no difference in connection quality so it was a complete waste of money. It's especially disappointing since nowadays every cafe, airport or any other venue have a free and fast WiFi. The hotel management should do something about it.

Nice if you want to experience what it’s like to stay in a cell block!

The location is one stop away(opposite to the stephanplat) from Prater where u can hang around with lots of the ride. But it is too quiet and dark near hotel area from the Prater after sunset so that it makes me a little bit scared. The room is clean and cozy but no minibar/fridge in the room which i did not check when I made a reservation.
