The Property — B&B Hotel Wien-St. Marx
The B&B Hotel Wien-St. Marx is a no-frills, modern budget hotel in a quiet business district south-east of the centre. Lobby is compact, efficient and clean – think laminate floors, a small breakfast nook and self-check-in kiosks. It suits travellers who need a reliable, cheap base with decent tram links to the city centre, and don't care about character or location buzz.
Chronicles of Wien
Vienna began as a Roman military camp, Vindobona, around 15 BC. It grew into the seat of the Habsburg dynasty, whose empire shaped Europe for centuries. The city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with baroque palaces, the Gothic St. Stephen's Cathedral and the sprawling Hofburg complex. Today, Vienna blends imperial grandeur with a progressive, livable urban culture; its coffee houses and music scene (from Mozart to electronic) remain world-class.
Best Time to Visit
Full Wien guide →Best months
May and September: sunny, warm but not scorching (20–25°C), plus manageable crowds after spring breaks and before autumn conferences.
Peak / festival surge
June to August is peak tourist season, boosted by the summer opera, festivals and long daylight. Hotel prices jump 30–50% above shoulder months. Events like the Jazz Fest (July) and the Wien Museum exhibitions drive demand.
Budget shoulder season
April and October: daytime highs 12–18°C, fewer tourists, and hotel rates often 20–30% lower than summer. Still enough daylight and cultural events to enjoy.
Weather & packing
Vienna summers can have sudden thunderstorms. Pack a foldable waterproof jacket and an umbrella – never rely on a forecast of constant sun.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to B&B Hotel Wien-St. Marx, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard (away from Litfaßstraße). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within easy reach by lift, and the courtyard side is generally quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing Litfaßstraße on floors 1 or 2. The street is a main road with tram and commercial traffic, and lower floors get the most noise. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor, as the lift runs past midnight.
Best views
The best view is from top-floor rooms facing south-west over the courtyard: you see the local rooftops and greenery of Vienna's 3rd district, not the tramline. Street-side rooms look directly onto a busy junction.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest: high enough to reduce street sound, without being near any rooftop plant or service area.
🔊 Noise notes
Litfaßstraße is a main thoroughfare with trams (line O) and heavy traffic until late evening. There's a construction site two blocks east, but it's only audible on weekdays. The lift is central and can be heard in adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
Parking is limited and expensive in this area — use the Park & Ride at Erdberg (U3) instead, a 10-minute tram ride away. For a quieter night, mention 'courtyard side' when booking directly via the hotel website, not a third party. The cafe on the ground floor does a decent breakfast for €9, but skip it and walk to Café Goldegg at Wiedner Hauptstraße 50 for proper Viennese coffee.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency

A daily lunch menu (Mittagsmenü) at a local restaurant — a main with side or soup for about €9–12.

Würstelstand (sausage stands) and kebab shops are common near U-Bahn stations; also look for Leberkäse semmel from bakeries.
Billa, Spar, and Hofer (Aldi) are the standard budget supermarkets in the 1110 area.
High-street chains like H&M, C&A, and Peek & Cloppenburg are found in shopping centres like Donauzentrum or Galleria.
