Hopper Hotel St. Josef

We booked this hotel as a quick overnight stop en route from the Netherlands to Vienna, looking for just a simple place to crash for the night. What we found instead was a super modern hotel room, really well laid out, with huge operable windows overlooking a secluded courtyard in this former convent house. The "fitness center" is really just an elliptical machine and one other multi-purpose resistance machine, and the sauna looked like it had never been used. Neat library, nice bar, and a super short walk west to a shopping district with bakeries, restaurants, and coffee shops. Parking isn't available at the hotel, but we were able to park in an underground garage due east for €21.

Nicely designed hotel. Lots of little steps and stairs as it is a historic building. Clean, modern feel of the room as if in contrast to the historic substance. Small hotel with a small number of staff, so do not expect exceptional service. Staff could be a bit warmer/friendlier but was fine. Probably the best Hotel in the area - the only one that is in the middle of the Südstadt neighborhood. I was there for a private solo trip and found it a fitting choice.

My rating might have been higher, however the heat in the room (it was 36C outside and 28C) inside left me leaving the porch door open, but the noise from the adjacent kindergarten is making one crazy in the early morning.

Loved this place! Modern hotel in an old building - excellent service, clean and inviting rooms, lively area but quiet hotel. We only stayed one night but found it to be perfect for our needs.
