URBAN ISLAND - Riverside Apartments

The shower had good pressure and plenty of room, the bathroom was a decent size, and the compact kitchen had what we needed for holiday cooking. Getting around Vienna was easy, with the subway about 8 minutes away and the center roughly 15 minutes away. The main downside was noise from the nearby highway, traffic on weekdays and trains. It didn’t spoil the stay, but it did interrupt the peaceful feel. It was also quiet at night, with no restaurants or nightlife close by, though a 15-minute walk or a quick subway ride takes care of that. One thing I wish I’d known: there’s luggage storage, but with self-check-in you only get the access code when the room is ready. Arrive early and you’re stuck with your bags until check-in. For the price, it was very good value, as long as you plan around the noise and arrival time.

We found a parking spot a few minutes away for 5 euro for 24 hours, which worked well since we were returning the car after 2 night here. Parking right by the apartment to unload our luggage was a little awkward. The apartment was clean, had a beautiful view, and suited 2 adults and 3 children. There was a bit of train noise, but it wasn’t a problem for us. It’s a large place with almost everything needed for a short stay in Vienna. The Metro gets you to the center in 15 minutes, so it’s a good value if you’d rather avoid an expensive stay in the centrum. Easy self check-in too. I’d give it 4.5 ⭐. Sincerely, Apter family

We had everything we needed, and the hosts replied quickly when we had questions. Check-in was smooth, and the apartment’s location was great, close to train stations and bus stops. I’d definitely recommend it.

I’ve stayed here twice, once for a short visit and once for a month. The area is peaceful, and the location is really convenient. The apartment is pleasant and reasonably well equipped, but I wouldn’t choose it for a longer stay. Cleaning isn’t included, and each service costs an extra €60-100. The washing machines, drying racks and irons are down in the basement instead of in the apartment, which gets inconvenient over an extended visit. Otherwise, it’s a solid place.
