Hotel Capricorno – A Favorite for Families in Vienna

Hotel Capricorno sits at Schwedenplatz, a major transport hub connecting metro lines U1 and U4 plus multiple tram lines. St. Stephen's Cathedral is an 8-minute walk away, and the Vienna State Opera is within a 15-minute stroll. The stop for the yellow sightseeing tram that circles the Ring boulevard passes directly in front of the hotel.

Each room is decorated with Vienna-themed wallpaper, giving every guest a distinct local design. A free tablet (suitpad) sits in every room for browsing the web or hotel information. Soundproofed windows and air conditioning keep rooms quiet even though the hotel overlooks a busy square.

Breakfast is served from 6:30 to 11:00, allowing both early risers and late sleepers to eat without rushing. The buffet includes local specialties, made-to-order eggs, and a variety of pastries and cold cuts. From 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., complimentary coffee, tea, and cake are offered in the breakfast room.

The hotel operates a 24-hour front desk with concierge service and tour desk for booking tickets. Luggage storage is complimentary for guests arriving early or departing late. An airport shuttle can be arranged on request - the driver meets guests in the arrival hall holding a name tag.

Smoking balconies are available on certain rooms, allowing smokers to enjoy fresh air without leaving the non-smoking hotel. Each room contains a minibar, a safe, and a flat-screen TV with Sky satellite channels. Pets are welcome, with pet baskets and bowls provided upon request.
