Beautiful property. Our room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The patio/ terrace off our bedroom was very inviting with two chaise lounges under shade, and a hot tub. Restaurants were nearby and easy to walk to. We needed transportation to a different port than the one across the street for our Viking cruise, and the front desk staff arranged it quickly for us. Highly recommend!

Great location right on the Danube and 4 blocks from St Stephen’s Cathedral. The room was immaculate, lots of hot water and the AC worked great. If it’s an issue all the tv channels are in German, but that’s not why we were there. Marvelous breakfast buffet included with room. All the food was fresh, plentiful and diverse. Coffee is fresh ground to your liking. The only negative is that they hold the bacon in a steam tray. Staff were consistently friendly and helpful and everyone seemed to be fluent in English. We were only there for 1 night while waiting to take a Viking cruise, but it was great.

A cosy stay with excellent breakfast

Our stay certainly lived up to expectations and the breakfast exceeded them. A better breakfast display of really tasty produce than we have experienced in many more expensive 5 star hotels. The hotel has a great location for the Old town and Christmas market. Our rooms,l were spacious and quiet with comfy beds and very clean bathrooms with lots of hot water. We would definately stay again.

Nice location at the bank of Donau

The location is great. We can see Donau from our window. The room is remodeled spacious - we booked cormfortable room which is larger than standard room. Unfortunately, the bathroom is very tiny and sqeecy. Breakfast is ok and peolle can site outside seeing the Donau while eating. Parking is very limites and space is very tight. In general, a nice stay.
