when we arrived the kitchen was being refurbished. Had requested lower floor room but were put on top floor in a room that can best be described as staff quaters.How ever after complaining we were moved to a possible 2/3 star room.You get what you pay for i would advise anyone to pay a little more and stay somewhere that would make your holiday an enjoyment rather than an experience.

Vienna does not exactly have the cheapest hotels in Europe so price and location are important. When I saw this hotel I thought it was a cheap 4 star, having stayed there I would now say that it is a reasonably priced 2-3 star (at best) It may well have been a 4 star in 1978 but it is not by today's standards. This judgement is based on the superficial: decoration, amenities, quality of bathroom design, bedroom furnishings etc.

Service was very good, cleanliness very good also, it's just that the main structure is a bit tired! I had a single room on the top floor that had a single bed and slanting roof, very simple but clean and adequate. Free wifi, which should be standard in my opinion in all hotels with star rating, even if they increased the cost by 50c a night to cover it...

The best thing was brekfast: good choice of cereals, bread, fruit, yoghurt, fresh pastries, meats etc. Good flask of coffee and hot milk, enough for about 5 cups! The breakfast room is probably the best bit of the hotel, if the rest was like that.... what is it about hotel buffet breakfasts that makes people (me included) eat too much? At home I eat cereal, fruit and tea with lemon, in hotels my table is piled high with mini cakes, streudl, meats, cheese, salame, yes salame, even here in Italy no one eats salame for breakfast!! and then there are the endless rounds of toast with every jam possible and at least 4 cups of coffee that it takes me 3 hours to work off!

Anyway, to return to the review: the mini market for snacks etc, although a good idea is a bit like a frugal supermarket, the kind I went into with my Grandma 30 years ago...oh dear...finally, it'sa 10 minute walk to the metro not 5, but that is fine, and the surrounding area has some nice restaurants... check out D' Landsknecht on the corner of Porzellangasse and Thurngasse, great roast pork with dumplings and sauerkraut for 9 euros, traditional local pub type place...menu in English too.

Very good location, ten minutes walk to the Ring.
I booked this hotel on Expedia and the price was 180 euros for three nights in a double room.For this price is quite a good hotel.
Breakfast is very good. But the furniture and in the rooms are not very new and very close lift.
Rooms are large and clean, but not very modern. Wi-Fi on the third floor was very weak.

Located in a quiet residential neighbourhood, which is easy to reach if you get well along with public transport (there is a tram stop nearby) and overall not far from the major attractions in the old town center. Hotel room was spacious and clean. Breakfast buffet was very good and plenty of choice. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful.
