A modern three-star hotel inside a beautifully preserved building from the late 19th century, the Motel One Wien-Staatsoper is only two minutes on foot from the city's famous State Opera. Free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen television, and a Hansgrohe raindance shower in the spa-inspired private bath are among the standard amenities in every guest room. Pets are welcome for an additional nightly fee. The Motel One Wien-Staatsoper welcomes guests in the grandly decorated One Lounge. The 24-hour reception desk doubles as a bar, which offers 40 different kinds of gin as well as a fine selection of wine. A rich continental breakfast is served daily, and many of the city's most popular restaurants are within a short walk, including Dstrikt Steakhouse. The Kunsthistorisches Museum, Imperial Palace, Naschmarkt, and St. Stephen's Cathedral are also within easy reach on foot.

Guests often describe the rooms as very comfortable, quiet, stylish, and modestly priced. The rainforest showers are a bit of luxury, and modern touches such as the big televisions and well-placed USB outlets are also appreciated. The air conditioning is effective, and the overall standard of housekeeping is exceptionally high as well.
Guests rave about the beautiful decor in the One Lounge, and many thirsty travellers enjoy the "wall of gin." The front desk staff also earn many glowing reviews for their friendly, efficient, and attentive service, with guests often commenting that they are pleased to share their knowledge of the city and take care of any special requests. The continental breakfast earns high marks for variety and presentation as well.
Guests also rave about the hotel's location within a stone's throw of the venerable State Opera, and a ten-minute walk of most historic inner city attractions (the Cathedral, Imperial Palace) as well as the museums, shopping, and restaurants.
Guests who do not care for the "minimalist" approach to the room decor often go on to note the rooms lack any "extra" amenities such as a kettle, fridge, or telephone. Guests also warn future guests that very few toiletries are supplied.
The rooms are widely described as small, particularly for couples, who struggle with the minimal storage space for clothes, and note there is little room to open a large suitcase (aside from on the bed) or stow it.
Though grandly decorated and inviting, the breakfast area can get a bit crowded at "prime" times, and there are not hot dishes included in the buffet.
