Lovely hotel, staff were friendly and I felt very safe as a solo female traveler. Good breakfast options and a pretty outside courtyard. I accidentally left my ring in the room after check out, which was found by cleaning staff after my stay. the hotel staff were amazing going above and beyond to get the ring back to me. I will be forever thankful. I highly recommend this hotel and will be back to stay any time I’m in Vienna.

We loved our stay in Vienna at the hotel. Very easy to get into the centre of the city and take advantage of the excellent public transport as very near a tram stop. Within an easy walk of the amazing architecture. The staff were great, the room was smart and clean with great aircon and a good maid service. Our only criticism would be the bedding. Very thin sheets and pillowcases with extremely worn pillows especially that were well past their best, all without protectors on the mattress and the afore-mentioned pillows. For the class of hotel and the overall class and quality, we felt this element let them down a bit. Overall though, a super stay.

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.

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.
