Map & live prices by our partner
The cheapest nights in Vienna start at 22 EUR at A&O Wien Hauptbahnhof, a 2-star hostel with dorms and private rooms right by the main station. For a step up, Ibis Wien City sits at 49 EUR with free Wi-Fi in rooms and private parking, while Holiday Inn - The Niu, Franz Vienna By Ihg offers modern soundproofed rooms from 35 EUR near the Prater. The real price spread — from 22 to 265 EUR — shows just how much location and standard can vary within the budget bracket.
Staying right in the center doesn't have to blow the budget. Boutique Hotel Nossek puts you on Graben, the city's main shopping street, from 78 EUR, while Hotel Pension Suzanne is beside the State Opera and charges 84 EUR. For a central option with a bit more polish, Hotel Post Wien goes for 149 EUR but earns high praise for service and breakfast. These central picks often cost more than the station-side hotels, but you trade a longer commute for being steps from the Ringstrasse and Stephansplatz.
A short ride from the center opens up cheaper rates without feeling far from the action. Motel One Wien-Hauptbahnhof sits directly across from the main train station and starts at 117 EUR, while Prize By Radisson, Vienna City is near Belvedere Palace and the station from 60 EUR. For a quieter spot with a tram stop at the door, Boutiquehotel Donauwalzer costs 52 EUR. These hotels trade a walk to Stephansplatz for easy U-Bahn or tram access and noticeably lower rates.
If you prefer a kitchen and more space, budget apartments in Vienna are a genuine alternative to hotels. Many sit in the outer districts, like Döbling, where Ibis Styles Wien City (though a hotel) offers a stylish base from 72 EUR with easy U-Bahn links to the center. While the hotels on this page dominate the center, apartments typically deliver more room for the price in quieter neighbourhoods — a trade-off worth weighing if you're staying more than a few nights.
Prices on this page vary widely by season, with typical rates around 74 EUR a night. January and February are generally cheaper, though INPUT doesn't give monthly rates — your best bet is to book a refundable rate and watch for dips in the off-season.
For first-timers, the 1st district (Innere Stadt) is the most convenient, with options like Hotel Pension Suzanne or Boutique Hotel Nossek. If you want to save more, look near the main train station (Hauptbahnhof) — hotels like Motel One and Ibis are well-connected and cost less, with the center just a few U-Bahn stops away.
Most budget hotels sit near U-Bahn stations, so the best route is the City Airport Train (CAT) to Wien Mitte, then connect by U-Bahn. For hotels around Hauptbahnhof, you can also take the S7 regional train directly to the main station — a cheaper and often quicker option. Check your hotel's exact address for the closest station.
For the best rates, book at least 2–3 months in advance, especially if you're visiting during the busy summer season or around Christmas markets. Last-minute deals do appear, but the lowest prices (like the 22 EUR at A&O) tend to sell out early. On this page, prices range from 22 to 265 EUR, and the typical rate is 74 EUR, so booking early usually locks in the lower end.
Vienna isn't a cheap city, but it's a surprisingly good one for a budget stay if you know where to look. The real value sits in two belts: a ring of practical, chain-run hotels around the main train station and the Westbahnhof, and a scatter of old-school pensions in the inner districts where a modest room comes with a breakfast that punches above its weight. Most of the places here cluster near the U-Bahn, so a slightly out-of-center address often buys you a quieter room and a few euros back in your pocket for a sachertorte.
At the bottom end, rooms start as low as 22 EUR a night, usually in a no-frills hostel or a 2-star on the edge of the center. At the top of this budget set, around the 80–120 EUR mark, you get central 3-star hotels with soundproofed windows, air conditioning, and breakfast included — and a few well-rated places hover just under 50 EUR. The star mix is heavily weighted toward 3-star hotels, with just a handful of 2-star options, so most budget travellers here are paying for location and comfort rather than luxury.
This set is for travellers who want a clean, well-located room without the frills — you'll find the best value near the Hauptbahnhof and Westbahnhof, with easy transit to the sights. If you're travelling with family, look at the Family Friendly hotels in Vienna page, which highlights properties with rooms that fit a group. For those who need secure parking or are exploring further afield, the Hotels with parking in Vienna page is a better fit, while the Central hotels in Vienna page narrows down the pickings right in the historic core if location outweighs price.
