Good choice to stay here. Staff was helpful. It has everything you need except chairs and maybe a couple tables on the rooftop patio. Transportation directly across the street

I stayed for just one night — and that was more than enough. The reception isn’t always staffed, so you’re often left waiting for someone to show up, which felt disorganized from the start. The internal layout of the property is also like a maze — navigating between the buildings is confusing and not well signposted. Each door requires a specific code to enter, but here’s the real issue: your private bedroom/apartment door can be opened at any time by staff without warning. As a solo traveler, that felt incredibly unsafe. On the morning of checkout, cleaning staff walked into my room while I was changing — 15 minutes before my scheduled checkout time. I shouted at them to give me privacy. Shockingly, this happened two more times. On the third intrusion, the staff member came in with her phone raised, using a translation app to tell me I couldn’t stay past 11. I pointed out that I was literally putting my shoes on and would’ve been out sooner had they not interrupted me three times. I raised this with the manager at checkout. He was polite and said he’d follow up by email to resolve the situation. I never heard from him again. I was rushing to catch a flight or I would’ve stayed to deal with it properly on-site. Bottom line: avoid this place if you value privacy, security, or basic respect for personal space.

Staying at lyf Schönbrunn Vienna felt a bit like navigating a maze! The hotel has a modern, startup-inspired design with some creative wording in the signage, which made things a bit confusing at first. It’s clear they’ve designed it with a nomad-friendly, co-living vibe, but at times, it felt like we were solving a puzzle just to find our way around. That said, it was a fun experience—we laughed, we got a little lost, and yes, we broke a sweat trying to figure things out. A unique stay for those who enjoy a quirky, unconventional touch. One downside: Parking costs €39 per night, which is way too much! Something to keep in mind if you’re driving.

We stayed here when we visited Vienna for NYE. The apartment had everything we needed, it was nice and warm, and the location was great. There is a bus/ tram stop opposite the property which takes you into the city centre and also to the Meidling station. There’s also a Spa nearby for food. The staff were lovely and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay.
