We’re impressed with friendly staff at a front desk and cafeteria. Special thanks to Tomas, Gregory, Polina and a manager (I probably misspelled those names) and couple others. I got my birthday cake, song and great birthday wishes. Thank you again.

A great location, very quiet, lovely courtyard, comfy beds and pillows. The only negative is breakfast - certainly not that great by German standards, not too much variety, although everything is quite edible.

The hotel is close to things to do and see. Please be aware, though that there is construction in the front of the hotel which causes a lot of noise early in the morning until around 5 PM the hotel provided earplugs but they weren’t helpful. Hopefully the construction will be done soon as this is a nice property.

The room was clean, aesthetically nice to look at, and the shower in the bathroom was lovely. The only downside of the hotel was that the side street it was located on was under construction while we were there (which we were forewarned about). Otherwise, we had a great stay and would definitely book again while visiting Vienna.

Quiet and comfortable
A quiet, central hotel. Aircon worked reasonably well at the height of the summer cooling the room to 22-23 C. Good wifi and shower, tea and coffee in the room, and a nice waiting area downstairs. The wait for a drink at the bar was almost 20 minutes.
