About

Very Central Apartments operate as a self-check-in property in a traditional Viennese building on Währinger Strasse. There is no reception, but a concierge desk and vending machines are available.

Each apartment includes a kitchen, dining area, flat-screen TV with cable channels, and a safe. Some rooms face the courtyard, ensuring quiet. A breakfast room is available on site, and a free shuttle service is offered, though its operating hours are not specified. The property is entirely non-smoking.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Quiet courtyard-facing rooms — Most rooms look onto an inner yard rather than the busy street, and several guests specifically praised the silence – even in a property on a main road.
- Excellent value for money — One guest paid €165 for three nights including breakfast, and several reviews highlight the combination of price, location and cleanliness as a strong deal.
- Central yet convenient location — A five-minute walk from the Sigmund Freud Museum and close to the U-Bahn and tram stops, making it easy to explore Vienna without a car.
- Well-equipped rooms — Kitchenette, safe, mini-bar, flat-screen TV, and – according to one detailed review – a kettle with tea bags and a writing desk.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No reception on site — This is a self-check-in property, so you won't find a front desk. Plan your arrival within the stated check-in window (16:00–23:00) and coordinate any late arrivals in advance.
- Limited breakfast information — Breakfast is mentioned by several guests and in the description, but neither its hours nor whether it's included in the rate are detailed – confirm when booking.
- Low overall rating — With a rating of 5.7/10 from over 1,000 reviews, the property has mixed feedback, even though individual reviews on this page are largely positive.
- No pets allowed — The property has a strict no-pets policy, so if you're travelling with an animal, you'll need to look elsewhere.
