Bundessport- und Freizeitzentrum Südstadt

Excellent location, just minutes on foot from the Opera, world-famous cafés, museums, shopping, the casino, public transportation, and a lively stretch of restaurants and eateries set along the broad median between the main traffic lanes. The rooms and bathrooms are adequate, clean, and renovated—most importantly, without the musty or stale odors that can occasionally be an unwelcome “European special.” The bathroom design could be better, however, as taking a shower tends to leave water splashed across much of the floor. Service is efficient but more businesslike than welcoming, with little of the warmth one might hope for as a tourist. Breakfast is available but somewhat pricey. A little more warmth and hospitality would easily have elevated this to a five-star experience. Otherwise, a perfectly adequate but somewhat nondescript stay.

The property is impecable! Our room was a lovely and very comfortable suite.the dining room & bar well attended and the food and drinks delicious! We enjoyed the pool, and hid from the August heat. We will return !
