Stayed in an “Executive” (Superior) twin room which overlooked Praterstrasse. Been a top floor room and with thick glass windows, traffic noise was not noticeable. Colour scheme was dark but bright colours (see hotel’s website). As I was alone only one bed was made up every day. Bed was pretty comfortable and pillow fairly soft/thin but it could be folded double if you wanted thicker. Central heating kept room warm.
Whilst room was spacious, the bathroom was a little more compact. The shower had good and constant water pressure and I never ran out of hot water. Room was serviced daily and the bathroom kept very clean and tidy. There are liquid soap dispensers next to sink and in shower.
Room had a large desk and on it was a tray with a kettle, cups, tea/coffee/sugar/milk. Also on the desk was a large flat screen TV with satellite offering +/- 100 channels in many different languages. There was also a small empty fridge in the room.
Breakfast was excellent. A good choice of cereals, fruits, breads/rolls, cheeses, cold meats, eggs (hard/soft boiled or egg spread), jams/spreads. There were small frankfurter sausages but no “English” breakfast food. To drink were fruit juices, tea, filter coffee and various “coffees” from a coffee machine. Seating was a little cramped in places but the tables and linen were clean and neat.
There is a free guest computer with internet access next to reception. The reception staff were friendly and helpful and I had not problems communicating in English. Guests can also make use of a luggage room behind reception if arriving early or leaving late. The room is kept locked and is opened by the receptionist.
Access to hotel via U-bahn is easy; go to Nestroyplatz and take lift from middle of platform; lift exit is in middle of Praterstrasse almost opposite the hotel.
Overall with a room that was neat and tidy, clean and comfortable, a tasty and filling breakfast, staff that were friendly and efficient, and easy access to public transport, I have no hesitation in recommending Hotel Capri.
If you like local cuisine, try Café ¾ Takt just down the street. Tasty food, good portions, reasonable price and a relaxed atmosphere and service.
