About
Hotel Pension Baron Am Schottentor
Hotel Pension Baron Am Schottentor occupies an old building on Waehringer Strasse with 25 rooms spread across several floors, served by a lift. The interior leans on rococo-style furniture and high ceilings, giving common areas a distinctly nostalgic, turn-of-the-century atmosphere. Wi-Fi is available in public areas, and public parking can be found nearby.
The location is the hotel’s main draw: it sits a short walk from the Schottentor tram and metro stop, putting the city centre, the Museum Quarter and a number of parks within easy reach. Votivkirche is visible from many rooms, and Donaukanal is roughly 900 metres away. The hotel is non-smoking throughout and does not accept pets.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Walkable, central base — The hotel is by the Schottentor U-Bahn and tram stop, with the city centre, Museum Quarter and parks within easy reach – and Votivkirche visible from many rooms.
- Spacious, characterful rooms — Guests repeatedly mention high ceilings, large rooms and rococo-style furniture that give the property a distinct, old-Vienna character.
- Polished service — Reception staff are described as polite, amicable and helpful – including with local dining suggestions and family requests.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Room cleanliness can be uneven — While beds and bathrooms are typically clean, one guest noted the floor wasn’t really – worth mentioning if you’re picky about surfaces.
- Street noise in some rooms — A guest in a triple room reported some noise from outside the window, though the hotel itself was quiet.
- Dated common areas may not suit everyone — The nostalgic, old-building atmosphere is charming to some, but the faint old-kitchen smell in one room shows the age shows in places.

8Verified guest“The location was wonderful, and I had a beautiful view of Votivkirche from my window. Staff were helpful and even suggested local restaurants.”
8Verified guest“Clean and tidy, with polite and courteous staff throughout.”
8Verified guest“Modern touches, friendly staff and nice cathedral views. The location is super central, right by the U-Bahn, and close to the old town, Museum Quarter, public transport and major parks.”
8Verified guest“I loved the eerie, old-world vibe in the common rooms – it felt like stepping back a century. The room had a faint old-kitchen smell, but it added to the nostalgic charm, which I found romantic. Finally got a feather pillow, not one of those hypoallergenic ones. Breakfast was good and staff were lovely. The bed and bathroom were clean, though the floor could have been better. I’d stay again, but not for more than two or three nights.”
8Verified guest“Great value for money, with a central location, an old building full of character, and very nice staff at reception.”
8Verified guest“The spacious superior double gave plenty of room to unwind after long days. The small balcony had a lovely skyline view. Tram and metro nearby made it easy to get around and see the sights.”
