Room 55

“Komplett unkompliziert aber mit Abstrichen”

We were looking for accommodation in Vienna for four days when we planned to be on the move most of the time. Our focus was a good location, a nice environment, and a fair price. Room 55 is the entire basement of a residential building, split into about ten single units. We had a living space with a big bed, a bathroom with a shower, and a separate toilet. Everything was modern, clean, and fully functional. There was no breakfast, no staff, no reception. A short email gave us a description with the door codes and told us we could use the kitchen area (dishes, dishwasher, Nespresso machine, microwave, etc.) – that was it. The 5th district, Margareten, has many shops, bars, and restaurants. On the first evening we were 200 m away at Restaurant Stöger: great food, friendly service, and well‑tuned wine. About 300 m away is the Pilgramgasse U‑station – in 15 min you’re in the centre. All the units are on the ground floor. At night you should close the curtains because with the light inside you can see everything outside. The windows can’t be opened or tilted. It can also be noisy because the street has through traffic with a bus line. Inside the unit it was quite warm; the underfloor heating couldn’t be turned off or lowered. There is a well‑working air‑conditioner on the wall – but it isn’t quiet either. Those who like oxygen and low temperatures to sleep will have a problem. There is no wardrobe, only various hooks, so you basically live out of the suitcase.

“Tolle Lage und für nen Kurztrip geeignet.”

The communal kitchen was great and super clean. The contact was friendly and quick. Cleanliness was perfect and the location wonderful. For a short stay it was completely fine for me. There is no wardrobe or dresser, just a few hangers, which could be inconvenient for a longer stay. The windows cannot be opened; instead there is a recirculation system. Because the windows face the street, it can be a bit louder. For me it was okay – just something to know before booking.

“Beautiful room in a great location with top facilities and very nice helpful staff! Best stay ever!!!”

The location was great, the place super clean, the room beautiful with interesting wallpaper, the bathroom had glass walls separating it from the room, and there were so many useful hooks for clothes, towels, etc. The coffee machine and biscuits were excellent, and the female staff on site were very friendly.

“love it, great location!”

The accommodation was well located and would meet all needs for a short to medium stay in Vienna. It was close to public transport for trains, trams and buses, all within a few minutes from the front door. Ideal for couples and solo travelers, you could live like a local here. The Margareten district itself has a lovely neighborhood character with excellent restaurant choices for any budget or taste. There are Lidl, Hofer, Billa and minimarts for breakfast groceries or convenient heat‑and‑eat ready‑made meals. The place has a microwave to heat meals and basic kitchenware in a shared kitchen. The coffee machine is excellent. Single‑level rooms have very comfortable bedding. I had a street‑facing room but the quiet neighborhood made it no problem. I highly recommend it and would easily return just for the neighborhood. I love it. The staff were very accommodating and allowed luggage storage for my late departure, which made things so much easier and maximized my last day in beautiful Vienna. Everything met my 3‑night stay, with a few suggestions: the fridge is a bit small for busier times for guests to put perishable items, a small face towel would be nice (being very picky here) for guests, and I missed access to laundry conveniences, even if a laundromat.
