Hotel Am Konzerthaus Vienna MGallery review: a well-located hotel in Vienna, Austria
After spending two nights at Hotel Sacher Wien,
we moved here to save a bit on our travel budget—
and it turned out to be a hotel in Vienna, Austria that I’d happily recommend.
This is Hotel Am Konzerthaus Vienna MGallery.
Hotel Location in Vienna, Austria
One of the biggest perks here is the location.
The hotel sits just outside the Vienna Ringstrasse,
so it’s about a 10-minute walk to the Vienna State Opera
and around 15 minutes on foot to Belvedere Palace.
For sightseeing in Vienna, Austria, it’s honestly hard to beat.
There’s also a tram stop close to the hotel,
and the surrounding area is pretty quiet,
so I didn’t run into any real inconveniences during the stay.
Overall, it was a very satisfying place to stay.
Hotel Overview
Hotel Am Konzerthaus Vienna
is part of Accor, the global hotel group,
under the MGallery brand, and it’s a 4-star hotel.
This is what the entrance looks like.
I somehow forgot to take a full exterior shot of the building,
so I borrowed one from Google Maps Street View below. ^^
Check-in is at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 12:00 PM,
and the room rate was roughly 200,000 to 300,000 KRW per night—about $150 to $225.
Considering the condition of the hotel and the location, I thought it offered great value.
Because it’s just outside the Vienna Ring, rates are relatively lower,
but if you book a hotel just a 5-minute walk away inside the Ring,
prices jump up fast.
>Check hotel details on YeogiEottae<
If you book through YeogiEottae before March 31,
you can get 9% off the room rate,
so at least for March, I’d recommend booking there.
The lobby doubles as a first-floor bar space.
The check-in desk looks like this,
and farther inside there’s a dedicated desk for Accor members. We’re Accor Platinum members, but we noticed it too late and didn’t end up using it.
Since the Vienna Konzerthaus is right nearby,
the hotel’s whole concept is inspired by classical music performances.
That’s why the area around the elevators
is decorated to look like rich red stage curtains.
Even the floor indicator is an analog-style moving scale,
which I thought was really cute.
Right next to the elevator is the breakfast restaurant.
And in the evening, the hotel breakfast room
actually transforms into a Michelin 1-star restaurant.
It’s called Apron, and it serves Austrian creative dining.
By that point I was already a little tired of Austrian food,
so I didn’t try it myself, but the reviews are excellent.
After check-in, we headed up to the room.
Deluxe Room 710
We were assigned to the top floor, the 7th floor,
and since I’d requested a quiet room, we got Room 710.
If you look at the floor plan, Room 710 is all the way at the end.
Because of that, it stayed wonderfully quiet the entire time.
A quick room tour first.
We also got a simple hotel information sheet,
the Wi-Fi worked well,
and there’s apparently a fitness room on the first floor, though I didn’t check it out.
Right by the entrance, there were bottles of still water and sparkling water
along with glassware set out on the wall shelf. They were refilled daily.
This was the overall vibe of the room.
The entry side felt a little darker because of the dark walls,
but the bed area felt bright and airy thanks to the large window.
The king-size bed was spacious and comfortable,
and both the mattress and bedding were solid.
Across from the bed, there was a Samsung TV
and a desk for getting some work done.
The view was technically of the building next door,
but Vienna’s architecture is so pretty
that even a side-building view still feels charming.
The window itself was unusual too, with the upper section angled outward,
which seemed to let in even more sunlight.
There was also a small table and a chair by the window.
I’m not sure whether this was because of our membership status or if everyone gets it,
but there was original Vienna nougat chocolate
and a welcome letter waiting for us.
In the hallway across from the bathroom, there was a large closet.
It had plenty of hangers, plus an iron set, luggage rack,
shoe care items, a laundry bag, and even a large umbrella.
There was also a safe above the closet.
The minibar setup was pretty standard for a hotel:
a coffee machine, electric kettle, and tea bags.
The fridge below was also stocked with lots of snacks and drinks,
and we were told we could have everything in it.
(I’m not sure if that was complimentary because of our membership,
so definitely ask at check-in.)
There were plenty of outlets throughout the room—
by the desk, on the walls, and next to the bed—so it was very convenient.
The voltage is 230V, but the outlet shape is the same as Korea’s,
so Korean plugs worked just fine as-is.
No adapter needed.
Now for the bathroom.
There was just one sink, but the counter space beside it
was fairly generous, so it was easy to use without feeling cramped.
There were plenty of towels too, from hand towels to bath towels,
and they’ll bring more if you ask.
The bathrobe was the towel-cloth kind, which I liked,
and the slippers were surprisingly good quality too.
The shower booth was spacious,
and all the amenities were provided in refillable containers using L’Occitane products.
I loved the scent, so using them was a nice little treat.
I always use a shower filter when I travel abroad,
and after using it here for three days, it looked about like this.
The water quality wasn’t terrible like in some parts of Southeast Asia,
but I’d still recommend packing a filter just in case.
They also offer evening turndown service,
though we only had it done once during our three-night stay.
If you don’t hang the DND sign on the door, they seem to do it automatically.
And they leave a little L’Occitane gift set, too.
Now I’m curious—if you get turndown every night, do they give you one every night?
They also left a good-night card,
though I’m still not exactly sure what that was for.
Breakfast 06:30–10:30 (Until 11:00 on Weekends)
At check-in, we were told that if you’re Accor Platinum,
weekend breakfast is free but weekday breakfast isn’t,
which sounded like a very odd policy.
Since our first day was a Sunday,
we decided to just use it that one day.
But when we actually went down for breakfast,
they said the information we’d been given was incorrect, and that complimentary breakfast starts from Diamond status.
Still, because they had misinformed us,
they let us have breakfast that day anyway.
The space was large and had plenty of tables,
but it was also surprisingly busy.
The hotel itself felt so quiet that I assumed there weren’t many guests.
Breakfast was, as expected, a Western-style buffet.
Maybe I was comparing it to the much more luxurious hotel we’d just stayed at,
but even so, the breakfast quality here was perfectly decent.
We mostly stuck to coffee, eggs, fruit, and bread,
and there was more than enough variety for that.
They also had Austrian desserts like apple strudel and vanilla cream.
Honestly, sausages seem to taste good anywhere in Vienna,
and while a lot of the bread leaned a little sweet, it was still good.
From the location to the overall stay experience, Hotel Am Konzerthaus Vienna MGallery was a solid, enjoyable hotel in Vienna, Austria.
I’d already seen quite a few blog reviews before going, and since so many people seem to rate it well, I don’t think it was just us—this really does seem to be a hotel that leaves most guests with a positive impression.
Checking out on the last day.
And at checkout, they even gave us
Mozart chocolates as a farewell gift.
If you want a hotel that makes it easy to get around Vienna’s major sights,
I’d definitely recommend Hotel Am Konzerthaus Vienna.
