Just wondering if anyone can advise me.  I would like to stay at the Marriot category 1-4  in Vienna, as I would like to do the Marriot deal of buy two nights get one night free.  Does anyone know which one is close to the Jewish community and walkable on Shabbos?

Best would be renting a car it will take about 35 minutes.
But there is a bus too from the airport to bratislava and it stops 200 ft from the tzyin
