We booked a superior room. I would hate to stay in a basic room. Everything was ok but nothing was superior. Not helped by the air con not working and the room was far too hot. Even though the weather outside was quite cold. Coffee machine in our room didn’t work either. Breakfast was not great, of the 3 coffee makers often 1 or 2 were out of order. The orange juice maker didn’t work for most mornings and the only available fruit juice was carrot juice. The breakfast buffet was ok. As a positive point most of the staff were great especially Polina

A really good central location for exploring Vienna but also quiet and like all of central Vienna felt very safe. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay. We didn't have breakfast as it was a little overpriced at €25 per person.

The hotel was a lovely building with really excellent, very friendly staff. Room (standard room) and bathroom were very nice. Breakfast was really excellent. The only downside for us was our room was unbearably hot. It is February. With no heating on and the window opened with the small opening it allowed, we found it very hard to sleep due to it being so warm in the room. Other than that, good location for walking to all the central attractions, lovely staff and lovely facilities. Would recommend this hotel.

A chilly reception - no Expedia VIP perks again - and a cramped room began our cheery Christmas stay. Led by the force majeure called Anna, the staff hustled for the guests. Outstanding breakfast service. But what to say about the indomnible Anna? Somewhere, an army is missing a beloved field general.
