About

Alma Boutique-Hotel

Alma Boutique-Hotel occupies a historic building on Hafnersteig, a quiet lane in Vienna's Innere Stadt. The location is the headline: St. Stephen's Cathedral is a 10-minute walk, and the Schwedenplatz U-Bahn station is roughly five minutes away, making both sightseeing and business travel straightforward.

Inside, the design is modern and compact, with 34 rooms and suites spread over several floors. Guests consistently mention the friendly, helpful staff and the serene vibe—partly because the hotel is adults-only and offers allergy-free rooms. Breakfast is praised, and the sun terrace provides a calm spot to start the day.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms can be compact — While clean and functional, some rooms are on the small side, particularly the Classic and Single categories. The Superior and Deluxe doubles offer more space.
  • Rooms and cleanliness rating is modest — The hotel's lowest category score is 7 for Rooms and cleanliness, suggesting that while acceptable, it doesn't match the heights of its location rating.
  • Breakfast not included in base price — The price from £583 per night appears to be for the room only; breakfast is available but likely comes at an extra cost.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Arrivals are only accepted between 14:00 and 23:59. Late-night flights or delays could be a problem if you don't notify the hotel in advance.

Frequently asked

Is breakfast included in the room rate?

Breakfast is not listed as an included amenity, and the base price appears to cover the room only. The hotel's coffee shop serves breakfast, and many guests praise it, but you should confirm the cost directly with the property.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, and check-out is by 11:00. Since arrivals after midnight aren't accepted, it's worth informing the hotel if you expect a late arrival.

Is parking available at the hotel?

On-site parking is available, and there's also an electric vehicle charging station. Given the central location, parking spots may be limited, so it's wise to reserve in advance.

Does the hotel allow pets?

Yes, pets are allowed, and pet amenities are available. It's an adults-only property, but furry companions are welcome.

Is there an airport shuttle?

A paid airport shuttle service is available. The hotel is also close to the airport bus terminal, which is convenient if you prefer public transport.

Does the hotel have air conditioning?

Yes, air conditioning is available in the Superior and Deluxe double rooms. Single and Classic rooms may not have it, so if you're sensitive to heat, you may want to book one of the more premium categories.

The bottom line

A well-located, adults-only boutique hotel that wins on position and service, with compact but comfortable rooms. The modest cleanliness score and the small room sizes are worth weighing if you're particular about space.

8.3For a central, quiet base with friendly staff, this hits the mark—just don't expect sprawling rooms.
