Aviano Boutique Hotel

This is probably my 12th or 13th stay at the Aviano. I was not sure the AVIANO could get any better, but this year was different. There are many positive changes that have improved the Aviano. Under new leadership, the Aviano has been renovated. The first thing I noticed when I arrived at the reception desk was how bright the area is. The fresh pain has really brightened up the entire hotel. From the rooms, to the Hallways, to the Breakfast room, the fresh pain has really brightened up the space. The Breakfast room has been remolded. The old banquette style seating was removed and replaced with new chairs. The assortment of breakfast items remains amazing. I enjoyed a croissant, scrambled eggs, and small sausages each morning. Room 413 has been fully renovated. They replaced the old mattress with a new, thicker, more supportive mattress. The old chairs have been replaced with new. The fold-out couch is gone and new couch is in its place. The new fold-out coach is a lot more comfortable than the old one. New carpet and curtains complete the look. The best part of the renovation is the bathroom. First, the 2 inch step into he bathroom is gone. A new shower has been installed replacing the old shower that you had to step up about 12 inches into. This was a he safety risk that has now been mitigated. The bathroom also has a newly located toilet and sink. The water pressure is great and the water is HOT! Along with Sonja, there are 2 new staff members who were so helpful. I can't say enough good things about the staff and the renovation.

10.11.23 reserved room for 30.5.24 - 3.6.24 The hotel posted on the website (unbeknownst to us) that it was closed for renovations from 15.2.24 - 31.5.24. If we were informed of this closure we could have easily made alternative hotel reservations. 28.5.24 We were informed that Hotel Aviano would be unable to provide accommodation due to construction, however you did offer to find an alternative hotel without a guarantee and suggested we could find our own hotel. Two days before arrival! 29.5.24 Arrival scheduled for the following day, as we were feeling time pressure, and no confirmed hotel we booked a room at Hotel Zur Wiener Staatsoper.  Your staff contacted us later in the day with an alternative but we had already gone ahead with the booking - again as we felt we needed to have something in place. We asked for Hotel Aviano to cover the higher cost of the day before room booking and were refused. Draw your own conclusions as to whom you want to deal with.

If you are looking for a classic design room in a family run boutique hotel right on the edge of the central zone walking district then this is for you. The room & beds were pretty & comfortable. Despite our room being right across from the breakfast room, it was quiet. A little noise from the street but it died down early & windows closed were OK. Breakfast in the morning was in a sunny room with a balcony as well. There was the usual full Europe spread with scrambled eggs, bacon & sausage. The hotel is the 2 upper floors so the entrance is barely noticeable locked door with a buzzer next to a champagne bar - the front does have a Aviano Hotel sign. Inside there are 5 steps up & then a lift the rest of the way. If coming by taxi best to say the Ambassador Hotel & you'll be let out a very short 75 steps from this hotel's door. Being just in the walking zone, if you just say Aviano you might get let off several blocks on the other side of the zone instead. This is a friendly place in a great location run by nice people. I would gladly stay here again - in fact I did when I came back through a few weeks later.
