Overall it is an older hotel and the room was ok. No coffee or tea making facilities but there are lots of cafes in the old part off to the right of the hotel. Breakfast was incredible. Just a short walk over the bridge into the city. We enjoyed the hop on hop off bus which had one of it's... More

Stayed there for our 3 nights in Vienna, and had great fun. 5 minutes walk from the subway, and 15 minutes walk from city center and main attractions of the old city, this is an ideal hotel for walks in Vienna. Breakfast is great, room has space and facilities (shower shield is shaky and may cause flooding of the bathroom),... More

Good breakfast with a wide selection. Lots of different teas to choose from was a nice touch as well. Friendly staff, always smiling and willing to help. As it is an old building... More

Stayed in April 2012 and found the hotel well located - just over the bridge from Schwedenplatz where you can get trams or the metro to everywhere. We got a two roomed mini-apartment which was what we wanted and was very comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was good as was the wireless internet (needed a log in for each device). Worth... More

Excellent Hotel located near to the main amenities. You have a tram stop opposite the Hotel, which takes you to the Prater and if you so wished, and it also stops in front of the Hundertwasser Museum. I would recommend to purchase a 3 days Vienna card which entitles you to all Vienna Transport etc. The Concierge service is outstanding... More

I'll start with merits. As most reviews say breakfasts are awesome. With variety of cheeses, tastiest bread and lots more. The location is also perfect, very close to the Swedenplatz where the shuttle bus to and from the airport stops. And at the same time it's not the very center overcrowded by tourists. Many visitors complained of tiny rooms but... More

From the same station, you can reach pretty much everywhere in Vienna with underground as well. Upon our arrival, as they did not have a double room available, the staff was kind enough to arrange us a suit (with... More
