Top 10 cheap hotels with breakfast included in Vienna, Austria

I haven't been here, but I'm sure it's a very cool and atmospheric place. First of all, the hotel is located on a quiet street, yet close to the city center, museums, and restaurants. Secondly, the interior is interesting and cozy. And thirdly, the breakfasts are amazing! I'll tell you more about them now.

They say that here you can find the best breakfasts in Vienna. Of course, you won't encounter champagne or oysters on the buffet, but there is excellent ham, delicious fresh pastries, fruit juices, homemade muesli, exquisite coffee beans, and a wide selection of cheeses. 

The chef carefully selects product suppliers for his dishes. Don’t rush to wake up, as breakfast is served until 11:00, and on weekends, they add another half hour for continued enjoyment. I recommend avoiding the time from 9 to 10 in the morning when it gets crowded and difficult to find a free table. Come at 8 in the morning — a sunlit restaurant will greet you and provide a positive charge for the whole day.

What I appreciate about staying away from home is the opportunity to spend time in a new environment and conditions. I love interesting designs and the communal spaces of the hotel that you won't want to leave. Just look at the colorful rocking chairs on the open terrace. The view of the red tiled roofs and green vegetation is breathtaking from here. The mural on the wall with a tropical jungle theme adds brightness and optimism, even if it's raining in Vienna. 

All the rooms are decorated in their own style. I’m ready to assume that the owner of this hotel is an art lover and a creative person. Otherwise, how can I explain that even in photographs I want to examine every detail of the interior? 

Continuing the conversation about art — at The Harmonie hotel, artists and performers are considered frequent and welcome guests. This gives all guests a great opportunity to visit more cultural places than they had planned. 

What could be better than a free buffet breakfast in one of the most expensive cities in Europe? Especially when it’s of such high quality. Guests are served artisanal pastries, organic bread and muesli, delicatessen meats, cheeses and jams from local suppliers, free-range eggs, honey from local beekeepers. Smoothies and juices are made only from seasonal fruits. Tea and coffee are sourced from a renowned Viennese company. 

Have you heard of the Alpine meadows? Yes, this is where the cows graze, whose milk is used to prepare breakfast. For vegetarians, vegans, and those with special dietary needs, there is a huge variety of dishes available. If you're intrigued, hurry to come for breakfast to taste the very best. If you come after 10:00, there is a risk of seeing empty plates. Early birds can come from 6:30 to 7:00 to grab coffee, tea, and cold snacks. For those departing the hotel even earlier, a packed lunch will be prepared to take with you.

If you choose this hotel, you will receive reduced prices for visiting ballet, theaters, opera, museums, and art exhibitions in Vienna! Special service packages have even been created, which include accommodation, meals, and tickets for cultural events. For example, the "Stage" service package includes 2 nights at the hotel, 2 tickets to a performance – for free or at a reduced price, breakfasts, afternoon tea with pie, a souvenir Polaroid photograph, a glass of prosecco, and delicious snacks. 

Performances are held in iconic venues such as the Vienna State Opera, Burgtheater, Vienna Volksoper, Vienna Boys' Choir, and the Musical Theatre. If you prefer a visit to a museum, then choose 2 tickets to any of them: the Museum of Art History, the Albertina Gallery, the Imperial Treasury, the Josephinum, the Imperial Carriage Museum, or the Sigmund Freud Museum.

It's hard to find a more central location in Vienna. St. Peter's Cathedral is located right across from the Wandl hotel. Just a stone's throw away is the Stephansplatz metro station.

The buffet is served in the beautiful hotel restaurant. Early birds will be pleased, as the dining starts at 6:30 AM. On weekdays, the hall closes at 10:00 AM, while on weekends and holidays — at 11:00 AM. There are many options included: a variety of meats, juices, fruits, yogurts, and bread. Eggs can be boiled to your liking. There are options for vegans and those who are sensitive to gluten and lactose. Dishes are beautifully and festively displayed on the tables — even on a gray weekday, a festive atmosphere is felt.

Of course, I consider the central location of the Wand hotel to be its feature. When I see it, I look with fear at the reviews. Often, the owners of such places take advantage of their location, neglecting service, and as a result, the quality suffers. It is not the case here. The reviews are quite good. Guests say that it is very clean, the staff is friendly and helpful. There are always umbrellas in the lobby in case you get caught in the rain in Vienna. The location is quite secluded, away from the tourist paths, but still within walking distance of the main attractions.

I am suddenly changing my location and moving to the outskirts of the city, to a place called Neustift am Walde. This area is famous for its wine traditions. Cozy restaurants and taverns are open for you, offering tastings and tours of the vineyards.

Breakfast is served from 7 to 11 in the morning, regardless of the day of the week. However, where the tables for guests are set depends on the weather. Whether it's a sunny day in the beautiful inner courtyard or in one of the cozy halls of the estate on a cloudy day. In any case, the magnificent buffet will leave no one indifferent. Here you will find only the highest quality and organic products: freshly squeezed juice, vegetables, fruits and berries, organic honey, homemade pastries. There are both hot dishes and unlimited coffee, as well as various snacks. I know from experience how pleasant it is to eat in the fresh air, how delicious and rich the food seems.

Here I will also refer the hotel's location to its features. Do not be misled by the distance from the city: you can easily reach the center of Vienna by public transport. There is a bus stop nearby, and if you prefer the tram, it will take 15 minutes to get there. If you have your own vehicle, the location will seem perfect. Moreover, parking is free. Instead, you will be surrounded not by crowds of tourists and city noise, but by green hills with vineyards.

Returning to the city center — the Der Wilhelmshof hotel. It is said to be one of the most popular in the center of Vienna. It's worth coming to check out why it is so loved.

The breakfast is meticulously thought out. The chef approaches the cooking process with great love, and to ecology with great respect. He prefers local, organic products and supports interesting projects. For example, Tres Hombres rum is delivered to the hotel restaurant by a sailboat. 

The culture of eating is excellently embodied by the quote: “Eating is a necessity, but eating wisely is an art.” The buffet includes red fish, fresh vegetables and fruits, meat and cheese platters, and crispy pastries. Breakfast is served from Tuesday to Friday from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM, on other days from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM. The staff is very attentive. They will prepare a takeaway breakfast for you, including hot coffee, even if you are leaving at 3 AM.

I would describe the feature of this hotel as the care for the comfort of the guests. In winter, it is very warm here: even the bathrooms have heated floors. The bedding and towels are of high quality, there is a kettle and a minibar. The room cleaning is thorough. The interior was crafted by Viennese artists and designers. The staff is warm and polite. I love staying in such places. 

The location of the hotel is also excellent. A quiet place near the metro, within walking distance from the center, not far from the train station. The Prater amusement park is nearby. Moreover, there are family suites with two rooms, which have six sleeping places. Baby cots are provided upon request.

I am thrilled by how many interesting options are in my list. For example, this one positions itself as an eco-friendly hotel. Book a room with a view of the green inner courtyard and enjoy absolute silence and the scents of blooming plants. Watch the bees work, making the honey that you will taste at breakfast. Be amazed that all this happens in Vienna.

Organic breakfast is served on weekdays from 6:30 to 10:00 AM, and on weekends from 7:00 to 10:30. At 8:30, the cozy garden in the courtyard opens its doors, where you can have breakfast outdoors, under the morning sun and the chirping of birds. The buffet is abundant with fresh bread, pastries, cakes, jam, cereals, dried fruits, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Fill your plate with cold cuts and cheese, and your favorite egg dishes. The hotel grinds coffee beans themselves; I can only imagine the aroma! I'm sure you have not encountered as many types of tea as are presented here in any other place! Along with tea and coffee, not only cow's milk is offered, but also almond, soy, and oat milk. Sounds great!

What, if not the eco-friendliness of Boutiquehotel Stadthalle, can be referred to as its features? Continuing with the topic of breakfasts, the hotel's chef carefully calculates the volumes of purchased products based on the number of expected guests to reduce waste. They have also eliminated single-serving packaging and now only buy in bulk. This will help reduce the amount of plastic used. 

The building is equipped with solar and photovoltaic panels, LED lighting, and eco-friendly showerheads. The staff strives to recycle up to 100% of waste and is grateful to guests for their support of this important mission.

This hotel has also chosen sustainability trends as its priority. The friendly staff prepares healthy breakfasts and takes care of you like a family member. In addition, it is conveniently located: the subway station is right across the street, and in 5 minutes you are in the historical center. Or stick to a healthy lifestyle and walk to the center in 20 minutes.

A piece of Viennese happiness can be obtained at the daily breakfast buffet from 6:30 to 10:30 AM. The food is original, diverse, and there are many organic dishes. Fresh vitamin-packed juices, coffee beans, and tea from around the world. Honey produced by hardworking bees right on the hotel roof. There are also eggs with cute messages from the staff to start your day with a smile. 

There are many menu items for vegans and those with food intolerances. The staff will prepare a takeaway breakfast if necessary, just notify the reception by 2:00 PM the day before. The ingredients used to prepare your favorite dishes are regularly checked for quality and compliance with international standards. The hotel kitchen has received a quality mark and an award, ensuring the environmental safety of the products and thorough processing.

This hotel is ready to compete with the previous one in its eco-friendliness. The breakfast is exceptional and filled with only healthy products. Most of the products are sourced from local suppliers. 

Natural materials are favored in the interior design. There is a trend towards reducing the carbon footprint on the premises. The owners care for their staff, organizing celebrations, massages, and lunches for them to keep healthy and energized. This is important for friendly and polite guest service. The staff is a true team with a common goal. They are united by their belief in goodness, a positive outlook on the world, and love for their work.

I would like to present to your attention the oldest hotel in Vienna, as its history spans over 400 years! It seems that it is exactly such authentic places that I have seen most often in movies.

Why not start the morning with a glass of champagne? A grand setting awaits you at the daily breakfast buffet. It is served in the atmospheric hotel restaurant from 6:30 to 10:00 AM on weekdays, and on weekends and during the summer, you can extend your enjoyment for another hour. Stay for breakfast in the "Imperial" ballroom or settle on the open terrace of the restaurant. The breakfast staff will greet you with a smile and show you to your table. 

Positive reviews about the dining experience prevail: the food is well-prepared, there is a wide selection of fruits, and delicious yogurts. However, there are also negative reviews; for example, not everyone is satisfied with the freshness of the baked goods. The egg dishes are presented in standard options, only omelette and hard-boiled eggs. Guests would appreciate a wider selection, such as poached eggs and fried eggs. Hotel Stefanie is located in the Jewish quarter, so for an additional fee, you can receive kosher meals.

The Stefanie Hotel is not just a place to stay overnight, but a true historical gem of Vienna. The first mention of it dates back to the year 1600. It is currently owned by the Schick family, who with great love and pride strive to preserve the atmosphere of this place. Here, the spirit of the times can be felt, and every corner is steeped in history. In reviews, guests urge their fellow hotel patrons to adhere to a dress code, favoring classic style over beachwear, as a tribute to the history of this place.

This is a classic Viennese hotel with an excellent location. It opened in 1913 and has been under the ownership of the Schick family since 1994. Yes, indeed, the same one that manages the previous option.

In the early morning, specifically at 6:30 AM, a delicious breakfast is served in a buffet format. Guests are awaited in the Serviette hall until 10:30, so make sure to enjoy the wide selection of fruits and vegetables, sweet and savory delicacies, fresh baked goods, and much more. 

Grab a glass of wine or a cup of freshly brewed coffee and head to the table set with a white tablecloth and beautiful dishes. The service is top-notch, and everyone is polite. Classical music plays during breakfast. If you have dietary restrictions, suitable dishes will be provided. An early departure from the hotel will not be a problem — a lunch box will be prepared for you upon request.

This place values and remembers its history – on the walls, you will find significant artifacts from past years. They are interesting to examine and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of this place. The beautiful hotel has maintained excellent ratings over the years thanks to the intelligent staff, who will envelop you with care and courtesy from the moment you arrive. 

The rooms are very clean and equipped with everything you need. And the main thing is that the Freihausviertel area is very cool. First of all, in just a few minutes, you will be at the Vienna Opera, Belvedere Palace, Karlskirche, and other iconic attractions. Secondly, it is one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Vienna. Here you will find stylish eateries, vintage boutiques, and vibrant stalls with colorful owners. Talk to them and hear the latest news firsthand.

I cross the Danube and conclude my story with another hotel that offers free breakfasts. It's quite unusual that the building is located on the grounds of the largest shopping center in Vienna, Donauzentrum. Nearby is a subway station - 10 minutes and you are in the heart of the city.

I especially liked how this hotel presents its breakfasts in a bright and detailed buffet format. In the mornings, guests are welcomed on weekdays from 7:00 to 10:00, and on weekends and holidays until 11:00. Preference is given to healthy, organic products from local sources. 

Here they prepare homemade sugar-free muesli and fruit yogurt. Very delicious! Dried fruits and fresh fruits are served with the flakes. All the pastries are fresh and crispy. If you are vegan, you can gather a plate of healthy food: take quinoa, lentils, couscous, nuts, and green salad. Other guests can enjoy a meat platter, eggs, warm snacks, sauces, and spreads. Available drinks include natural orange juice, filtered coffee, and premium tea.

I consider the hotel's location to be its feature. If it's not my first time in the city, I prefer to stay not in the center but in a residential area. This way I can avoid the tourist crowds and noise, and also feel like a local resident. In the Donau City area, there are many places for active outdoor recreation, picnic areas, and bike paths. You can swim and sail along the Old Danube. In the Lobau wetland reserve, there are hiking trails. I strongly recommend going up the Danube Tower and taking a look at the city from above.
