Exe Vienna
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-22.
Exe Vienna is worth booking if you want a well-reviewed 4-star at a mid-range price and don't mind staying outside the old centre. Skip it if you want to walk to the main sights or need cheap parking.

Exe Vienna works for travellers who want a solid 4-star base without paying central-Vienna prices. Families are one group it fits: the property lists family rooms, and our data tags it as family-friendly. Anyone who likes a gym, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi will also find those listed.
It is a weaker choice if you plan to walk everywhere. It is also not ideal if you are arriving by car, because guests describe the on-site parking fee as high. If you want the best review score in the city, our other two picks both score higher.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Ottakringer Straße 34-36 in the 17th district, Hernals. Our data gives location a guest score of 8.6 out of 10. Guests mention a tram stop directly outside and a metro station nearby, with quick access to the city centre. We do not name lines or give journey times, so check a route planner for your own plans.
Distances below are straight-line estimates, and walking times have not been verified on the ground. The Hofburg is 2.3 km away, about 29 minutes on foot. St. Stephen's Cathedral is 2.8 km, about 35 minutes. That is far for most people, so plan on public transport or a taxi. The Belvedere is 4 km away, about 50 minutes on foot. Treat it as a transport trip, not a stroll.
What guests say
The score is 8.7 out of 10 from more than 4,000 guest reviews. That is a large sample, so the number is fairly reliable. Guests like the location for its transport links. They also praise the breakfast buffet, which they say has a wide variety of options, including a self-service waffle maker.
The main complaint is about parking. Guests call room rates reasonable but the on-site parking fee high. We have no figure for that fee, so ask the hotel before you bring a car.
Price and what you get, compared with our other two picks
The reference price is €89.39 per night for 10 to 12 November 2026, for 2 adults in one room. This is a reference price for those dates, not a live quote. Another figure in our data, €76.22 per night, was used for the comparison with the sample median of €400.07 per night, which puts it 81% below the median. The two numbers differ, so rely on the live rate when you book.
Our Budget pick, Bob W Vienna Döbling, is a 4-star at €86.86 per night and scores 9.1. That is close in price and higher in score, so compare the two carefully. Our Luxury pick, Hotel Sacher Wien, is a 5-star at €769.25 per night and scores 9.6. That is roughly €680 more per night than Exe Vienna.
The listed extras are a gym, family rooms, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The breakfast buffet offers continental, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, plus breakfast to go. Whether breakfast is included in the rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 15 eligible hotels in Vienna. Best Value does not mean cheapest. It balances the guest score, the number of reviews and the reference price. Exe Vienna combines 8.7 from over 4,000 reviews with a price far below the sample median.
To be fair, it ranks joint 11 of 15 on review score in the provider sample. It earns its place on price, review volume and facilities, not on having the top score.
Before you book
Check whether breakfast and free cancellation are included in your rate. Room size, noise levels and renovation condition have not been assessed, so read recent reviews for those points. Ask about the parking fee if you are driving.
Also check the route from Hernals to the places you want to visit, since most major sights here are 30 minutes or more away on foot.
