Located outside the city center, the mid-range Rainers Hotel Vienna is not within walking distance of any major tourist attractions, but it is within a five-minute walk of public transportation that gets to the center of Vienna within 10 minutes. Business Park Vienna, the city's sprawling office park, is within a six-minute drive, and Rainers offers some business-friendly amenities itself, such as iMacs in the 24-hour business center, and meeting rooms. Overall, the hotel offers a clean, if spare environment, and can be a good choice for budget-minded travelers wanting easy access to Vienna's sights at slightly lower prices.

The Hotel Austria is a mid-range, 46-room property awash in Old Viennese charm, tucked away on a quiet, cobblestone cul-de-sac in central Vienna. The location is superb, with most of the city center's main attractions within walking distance, and plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Although the decor might look old-fashioned, the rooms are clean and comfortable, but not all are air-conditioned, and the toilets for Economy Rooms are in the hallway outside the rooms. Rates are OK for the location, but guests who prefer a more modern hotel might want to check out the Adagio Vienna City for about the same price. 

The upscale K+K Hotel Maria Theresia is conveniently located in the trendy district of Spittelberg, a short walk from the Museum Quarter. The 132 contemporary rooms have modern if slightly corporate style, and notable features include a wellness area with a sauna and gym. A concierge is on-site to help with any specific requests like booking a babysitter or tracking down a translator for a walking tour. Early check-ins are granted based on availability and at no extra charge. It's a great pick for the location and price, but note that parking is limited and for a fee.

This modern hotel is located in the heart of Vienna near Mariahilfer Strasse, a popular shopping street lined with boutiques and restaurants. Rooms are simple and modern (except for the red wall-to-wall carpeting), and come with free Wi-Fi. The breakfast buffet, while not free, includes regional food and drinks, and there's a children’s section with books and toys. Both the lobby bar and concierge services are available 24 hours a day. 

Das Capri is a mid-range, 73-room hotel set on a busy tree-lined street opposite the Nestroyplatz subway -- it's  two stops away from central Vienna. The hotel has a Viennese tale theme conveyed through photographs and stories about the city, which gives it a playful and personal touch. Rooms, which have fresh, contemporary decor and sitting areas, are impressive for this level of hotel, and some even have balconies. Guests might also want to check out the nearby Novotel Wien City, which has comparable rates and is a bit closer to the city center.

The upscale Austria Trend Parkhotel Schoenbrunn was built over a century ago, and once hosted guests of Emperor Franz Joseph, who lived across the road in the Schoenbrunn Palace. Amenities include a fine-dining restaurant, in-house patisserie, bar, and a Grand Ballroom. The palace-like exterior, grand corridors, and luxurious rooms provide a memorable stay for couples and families looking for a historic and quieter trip. 

The 74-room Best Western Premier Kaiserhof Wien is a privately run, mid-range hotel that belongs to a family of hoteliers of eight generations.

The hotel offers a free buffet breakfast, a dated fitness center with sauna, and a coffee shop with cozy seating. There's also an inviting bar area with an open fire. The location -- near plenty of restaurants and cafes, with the center of Vienna within easy walking distance -- is the highlight here. For a comparable price in the same neighborhood, the Imperial Riding School Renaissance Vienna Hotel has a restaurant and swimming pool, which this Best Western lacks.

The Austria Trend Hotel Beim Theresianum Wien is a mid-sized, mid-range hotel in central Vienna with 115 rooms just a few feet from a subway station (with easy access to tourist hot spots like Stephansplatz and Karlsplatz).

Overall, this is a good value pick with nice extras such as bike rentals and available on-site parking.

A historic, upper-mid-range hotel with 309 rooms and Vienna’s largest hotel ballroom, the Savoyen Vienna is popular with business travelers thanks to its financial district location and meeting spaces that can accommodate up to 1,000 guests. Rooms are modern and come with desks and free Wi-Fi. The generic decor in rooms and common areas might not be to everyone’s taste, but there’s little complaint about the breakfast buffet, which has gluten-free options. A small fitness center and terrace with views of Vienna are nice perks. 

A sleek and pleasant four-pearl hotel, the Park Royal Palace is surrounded by a pretty park, right next to Vienna’s Technical Museum.
