Check rates for Prize by Radisson, Vienna City
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own Viennahotel search — search for “Prize by Radisson, Vienna City” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? +49 421 2222100 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The verdict
The Prater three-star if Riesenrad walks and Praterstern U-Bahn are the product — read the 7.0 cleanliness score and reception wait complaints before you treat location perfection as a spotless stay.

Riesenrad 1.2 km, Praterstern 0.6 km, Hundertwasserhaus 2.2 km, Belvedere 2.8 km, Stephansdom 3 km, Staatsoper 3.1 km, Hofburg 3.2 km, Kunsthistorisches Museum 3.3 km, Schönbrunn 7.5 km, airport 18 km. Location scores 10 out of 10 — the strongest location category in this Vienna sample.
