The hotel was in a perfect location for a weekend exploring Vienna. Our flight was delayed and hotel staff were great at communicating with us regarding late check in. The hotel was right by Votivkirche and the surrounding area had great restaurants and bars. It was also close to a big tram and train station/stop, although you could also walk into the very heart of the city within 15/20 mins. The hotel was quiet and the room was good for the weekend. The staff were helpful when needed - they were there between 07.00-19.00 and could be contacted via Whatsapp out of hours. The only issue we faced was that our shower was either really cold or scolding hot and could only get a decent temperature for about 60 seconds at a time. Would highly recommend this hotel to people looking for weekend breaks in the city.

Great room, good location.
It’s a pension hotel, one flight of stairs leading up to the lift (around 12 stairs). Very convenient - tram stop about 30m which leads to metro, which is only about 3 mins walk anyway. Excellent room with a double bed and sofa bed.

The property had no air conditioning. I had Expedia call and ask if the property had AC and was told by an agent that they called the hotel and confirmed both rooms I reserved had AC. I got there and no AC. The staff at check in indicated there is nobody there from 7pm to 9am. What kind of hotel is this? Gave me key to open the front door of the building down at street level. Room was incredibly small. Could barely move in there. They say the property was updated and if it was, I'd hate to see it previously. I didn't even stay at the hotel. Even though I prepaid, I went to a different hotel, costing me another 500$ unexpectedly. DO NOT BOOK AT THIS HOTEL. I WOULD NOT EVEN BOOK A ROOM AND GIVE IT TO A HOMELESS GUY FOR A NIGHT IT IS SO BAD.

Great location and very clean rooms! Only a few minute walk from subway station, streetcar stop, cafes and restaurants, grocery store. It’s an easy walk from Christmas market as well. I arrived early but they made my room ready before the official check in time- I was able to rest before going out to explore the city. I’m very thankful they accommodated me.

Room was very nice and modern. Beds were comfy apart from the fact that the two twin beds used to make the double kept sliding apart. Everything was quiet and clean. Hotel was a bit confusing to find as it’s described as being on the first floor of the building but is actually on about the 4th floor. It was in a perfect spot for us, walking distance to the main sites. Would stay here again.

It was a very pleasant experience for us. Very friendly hotel staff, very advantageous position of the hotel, for those who want to see the central area with minimal effort. The room was very clean, as described, and the services offered are very good. Parking very close to the hotel 200 m. I return with pleasure anytime.

Beautiful Staircase!
The hotel is in a good location. The tram stop is just down the street, but it’s easier to walk to the old town city center, even though it’s a bit of a walk. The hotel is located on part of an upper floor of an apartment building. You walk up about half a flight of stairs, then you can take the elevator up. You need a key to enter the hotel (if the front desk is closed, it is not open 24 hours). There are some rooms on this floor, and more rooms upstairs, where you’ll need to climb the beautiful staircase. My room was small, but efficient. Nice remodeled bathroom. Pretty decor in the bedroom.

As others have said, the great advantage of this hotel is its central location, within walking distance of the main city centre sites. We booked 4 rooms which were of varying sizes and facilities. They were basic but all were clean, had good bathrooms and comfortable beds. The breakfast room has no windows and is rather gloomy but looked like good value.

Great value for money
Stayed here for two nights (room only) and found everthing to be good for the price you pay. The hotel is within a few minutes walk of the city centre and 5 minutes from the metro, so is easy to get to from the airport. Good Wi-fi in the room too. Would definitely stay her again.

Good location.
It's a great location to the hot spots, but the reception is closed at 7pm. Those who will do late check-in after 7pm is required to make special arrangement with the hotel in advance. The main door of the entrance building will be locked after 7pm, including the hotel main door too. Overall is Good.

Great location
The hotel was very nice. We were able to check in a little early and get settled. There is no air conditioning so the room did get rather warm. Fans were provided but didn't help much. The room was beautiful and very clean. The location was close to the metro and it was easy to get around the city. The staff was very helpful and let us keep our luggage there even after checkout so we didn't have to carry it around the city. We had a very pleasant experience.

Only problem that we had it was our arriving time was about 8-9 pm. In this time reception and hotel's door was closed. And if accidently visit of one of guests that help us to open the door and contact with reception. We didn't pay attention on the advice inform the reception earlier if your arrived time is after 8 pm!!! Commonly the hotel is very good in all aspects !

Very good location. If you arrive after 7pm you have to call the reception to check you in. Despite my emailing them well in advance that I will be arriving late. My mobile was powered off, so had to ask a stranger for help. Another issue I wish to bring to notice is that on the booking websites they show no pictures of single room which could help a person to get an idea if the single room is suitable or not. So when I first saw the single room I was dissapointed. Apart from this, great staff service, Clean and comfortable.

Perfect location for Christmas markets.
Stayed for three nights, hotel staff couldn't have been more helpful - kettle, extra pillow - nothing was too much trouble. The room was quite small but cosy and very comfortable. Bathroom very clean and lovely powerful, hot shower. Within walking distance of all the Christmas markets but easy to get to the tram if you prefer. The hotel reception is on the third floor of the building, the lift doesn't go right to the ground floor so not accessible for guests with walking difficulties. Fantastic stay, would definitely return.
Easily missed narrow entrance
