Top hotels in Josefstadt
Hotel Josefshof am Rathaus
Fantastic hotel. Staff and rooms were excellent. Clean and central location. Will be back. As a platinum VIP Expedia member however, I was not told of any of the benefits until check out. Which is a shame as the service was flawless.

Rioca Vienna Posto 2
The room and staff were great. Long lines at check in time, though. Very friendly, loungey vibes in the lobby. I didn't LOVE the area but was close enough to the airport.
