If you looking for a friendly no-frills hotel or pension with good access to the local sights, you can follow my recommendations.
Renaissance Wien Hotel, Ullmannstrasse is clean, modern and ideal if you don’t want to be right in the city center, reasonably priced ~ E120 or less a night, handy underground parking, and Ubahn is a 2 minute walk away. Restaurant is average and pricey so eat out;
Breakfast isn’t included and is expensive at around E20 if you opt for the ‘American’ style rather than continental. Handy if you want to work on your ’swing’ though, there is an adjoining golf course and driving range, also no need for an alarm clock because the converted Volkswagen Beetle that scoops up the golf balls early in the morning is sure to wake you up if you’re unfortunate enough to get a room backing onto the course.
Pertschy hotel is good choice in Vienna too. It has clean, smallish rooms but well equipped (all the usual stuff including tv and also a minibar – unusual for Europe). It’s kind of weird (an old palace, built round a central courtyard open to the sky with the rooms off narrow balconies that encircle the courtyard. I love the quaintness. It has free a email terminal for guests (hooray) and the breakfasts are very nice. It also has the benefit of being the closest hotel to the Spanish Riding School.
You can stay at Das Triest also, a small terence conran styled hotel in a hip area, Very stylish but classy with stoning good Italian restaurant with a wonderful garden within the hotel, you feel like in Italy!
The Etap Wien Hotel Sankt Marx might be a good idea for one night. Not sure if they have family rooms (don’t know how old your kids are) but it’s near the motorway, so should be OK for getting away smartly without driving through the city. It’s pretty basic, but clean. Set in a dreary industrial area, but if it’s just one night, I guess that wouldn’t matter.
