Laxenburg Holidays from £244

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.
