Gross-Enzersdorf Holidays from £289

Pros: (1) Convenient location. (2) The shared space inside the room is spacious, bright, and well ventilated. The capsule-style bed layout with curtains provides good privacy. Each bed features a large personal storage area, along with a locker that works with the room key card, which is both convenient and secure. (3) Clean bathrooms. (4) Breakfast offers a wide variety of options. (5) An elevator is available, and free luggage storage is provided. Cons: (1) Upon check-in, I noticed spotty and light yellow stains on the bedsheet. After reporting this to the staff, I was given a new sheet. However, when I took the towel provided by the hostel to shower, I also found dark red stains on it, so I ended up using my own towel. In addition, I found plastic trash left on the bed by the previous guest. This gave me the impression that not only were the linens not thoroughly cleaned, but the upper bunk area had also not been properly cleaned. (2) The ladder and handrail design for the upper bunk is not very ergonomic. There is no good point to apply force when climbing up, and the sharp angles make it easy to bump your knees when getting in and out of bed. Guests who are not very agile may want to choose a lower bunk. (3) No self-service laundry facilities. (4) Adding soft padding to the horizontal bars of the bed curtains could help reduce noise. (5) Adding hooks inside the shower stalls or on the shower doors would make it more convenient to hang clothes while showering.

Excellent hotel, couldn't have a more central location for sightseeing, a block from the Stephansplatz (our room had a view of the main entrance side of the Stephansdom). Despite being smack dab in the middle of a hectic tourist part of town, it was pretty quiet. Admittedly, the the reception lounge and the rooms are a bit frilly (with their theme of Leopold I's court), but I thought the decor was so fun--artwork all over the walls. All of the staff was so charming, reception, the servers for breakfast and other hotel staff. We included breakfast with our room, and although it is a la carte, the selections won't leave anybody lacking for choice. Excellent fresh choices. The "ceiling" of the breakfast room is a tent-like structure that they retract when the weather is fair, for semi-open air seating. The hotel seemed to be recently renovated, including an elevator, and the room had plenty of outlets, much appreciated air conditioning, a safe, a fridge (with complementary beverages), blackout curtains, and so so many mirrors in the room! We had a Grand Deluxe Double Room, and the bedroom/sitting area and bathroom were sizeable and comfortable. We used the laundry service and everything came back the same afternoon. On the whole, we really liked everything about The Leo Grand, and would definitely recommend it and return myself.

I think it is overpriced for the tiny bedroom lacking even one chair. The restaurant is very expensive- 360 euros for a meal for 4 people.
