Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is centrally located in Vienna, making it convenient for exploring the city on foot or using public transport. The rooms, while having a separate WC room, can be affected by outside noise due to nearby construction and limited fresh air on lower floors. The service is outstanding, offering assistance with various arrangements and reservations. The dining experience is generally delightful with some minor faults. Overall, a clean and comfortable stay with friendly staff but with some limitations in room amenities.
The hotel might feel like a prison cell with small rooms lacking natural light, but they are clean and have air conditioning. The service is friendly and attentive, with an old-world charm. The location is superb, right in the city center with easy access to tourist attractions. The dining options are decent but could use improvement. Overall, a comfortable stay with some limitations.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. Despite some morning disturbances from delivery and cleaning trucks, the room was very spacious and comfortable. The location was great, near Stephanplatz, making it easy to explore Vienna. The dining experience exceeded my expectations with a good variety of options.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and coordinated with the booking details, but I felt the price was a bit steep for the floor I was allocated, restricting fresh air options. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to assist me, even helping with luggage at odd hours. The location was excellent, centrally positioned and elegantly designed for both leisure and business travelers. The dining could use some improvement in variety, but the free breakfast was surprisingly delightful. Facilities were generally good.
The hotel offers bright, comfortable rooms that are extremely clean, making it perfect for a quick stopover in Vienna after tours. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, with services ranging from assisting in procuring tickets to offering dining recommendations via email. The location couldn't be better, just steps away from Saint Stephens Platz and the finest shopping and dining spots.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The room matched the description perfectly, but it was small. The service was top-notch and the staff were amazing, especially at the reception and in the breakfast-room. The location was optimal for exploring the city, although parking was a bit challenging. The dining experience was fine overall, but some aspects like the orange juice were disappointing.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were spacious and immaculately clean, with incredibly comfortable beddings. While my initial room on the 4th floor was a bit too hot for my liking, the switch to a ground-floor room made all the difference. The location was superb, right at the center of Vienna but surprisingly quiet inside. The staff was a vibrant mix of helpful, informative, and cheerfully quick to assist. The only slight letdown was the somewhat limited dining options, especially at breakfast.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but had an unusual shape. The service was excellent with helpful and kind staff offering various services. The location was superb, centrally located and close to public transport. The dining experience was good with a satisfying breakfast. The facilities were well-maintained.
