Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers large, clean, and comfortable rooms but suffers from slow wifi speeds and noise from the main road. The service is extremely helpful and polite, going above and beyond for guests. The location is excellent for exploring the city but can be noisy due to traffic. The dining experience provides a wide variety of delicious food options. The facilities are adequate, though some noise and wifi issues may affect the overall stay.
The hotel exudes real Viennese personality with spacious and very clean rooms, yet somewhat small. The service is friendly, efficient, and helpful, offering a range of amenities. The location is perfect, close to major cultural attractions and a metro station. Dining offers a superb Austrian breakfast. Facilities are well-equipped and cater to various needs.
The hotel is very well-located, a short walk from the city center and with convenient access to public transport. The rooms, while spacious, were a bit hot and facing a busy road, making them stuffy at times. The service was overall friendly and helpful, though some staff members during breakfast came off as a bit arrogant. The hotel offers a great selection at breakfast, ensuring guests start the day right. The dining options were abundant, especially loved the variety of cheeses and fruits. The facilities were sufficient, catering to most needs.
The hotel is a mixed bag - the rooms are comfortable and peaceful with a few amenities, but they are in need of renovation. The staff is helpful and generous with their time, offering useful information about the area. The location is great for sightseeing but lacks attention to detail in some instances. The dining experience is good with a variety of options. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel has some pros like equipped with air conditioning, near the center of Vienna and has a gorgeous tile stove, but it needed a bit more cleaning and the proximity to the noisy elevator was an issue.
My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms were quiet with no street noise at all and very little from surrounding rooms, making it suitable for a peaceful stay. However, the bath was in a very old-fashioned style and not comfortable at all. Depending on how you make your reservation, the overall room experience can vary.
