Very nice hotel in the old town. Small, but clean and rather comfortable room. Breakfast was really good, with a huge variety of fresh and tasteful products.
Best choice for this price!

I stayed at this great Viennese hotel for 3 nights at the end of December, after reading the mostly positive comments from visitors here on TripAdvisor. I booked a single room online, and upon arrival at the airport I bought a 3-day transit pass. The hotel staff had previously e-mailed me directions using public transport, which directed me to the Taubstummengasse stop on the U1 subway line. The directions from here were a little confusing - I ended up going into a pharmacy and finding an English-speaking girl who explained where I was located. After that, it was easy. You want to take the stairs to Florgasse, then walk straight ahead a block or so to Mozartgasse and turn left. Straight ahead on the right, past a statue, is the hotel, which is well posted. It is only a few minute's walk from the subway.

My room was a typical size (small by U.S. standards) for a large city European hotel single - little wasted space, but very adequate room for clothes, a built-in desk, a handy mini-bar refrigerator, and a single bed which was very comfortable, by the way. The room was kept spotless in typical Austrian fashion, the hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas and all of the staff with whom I had contact were genuinely friendly people with nice smiles.

The on-site restaurant appeared to be very nice, but I did not eat there. I did, however, drink a beer there on two separate evenings (they have a draft beer brewed especially for the restaurant - try it!) and most of the customers of the restaurant appeared to be people from the area. The food looked good and they certainly appeared to be enjoying themselves.

Breakfast was excellent, exactly as described by others - plentiful and filling, with great coffee.

To get to the city center: exit the hotel and turn right and walk the short distance to the main street. Turn right here. A tramline runs along the sidewalk, and your transit pass is good to ride on it. I only used it when it stopped at the time I was walking past - otherwise, I was able to walk into the city center before the next tram arrived. Realistically, you can walk to the Opera from the hotel in 10 minutes or less (unless, like me, you stop to explore along the way). I nearly always walked instead of taking the tram, just because I found it faster and warmer than standing around waiting for the next tram to arrive. Take time to walk over to the Naschmarkt which is a few blocks away - an amazing open air market with many food stalls, eating places, and vendors with great things to bring home as souvenirs.

I bought beer and snacks at a small supermarket just down the street from the hotel. I also found a very nice little cafe a few blocks from the hotel - exit the hotel and turn right and walk to the main street. Instead of turning right to go downtown, turn left. Walk a few blocks and find the Cafe Wortner. I actually liked it so much I ate there twice.

To sum up - great service, good beer, a good location that is easy to get to, and a very reasonable price. I am looking forward to visiting again - with my wife this time!

We booked this place a long way out for our trip to Europe. This hotel cameo it was one less highly recommended so we looked into it. Three nights including breakfast were very inexpensive. The hotel is great and the staff can arrange most experiences in Vienna. They organised the Vienna Card first us and pointed out good places to go and how to get there. On the last night they organized the taxi for the following morning to the airport so other was one less thing to sort. They even offered a bagged breakfast at no extra charge. Unfortunately it was not there when we left. A small quibble but not enough to dampen the experience.

I stayed in this hotel during my first ever visit to Vienna and was very happy with the experience. The hotel is located approximately five minutes walk to the city centre, Opera, shopping district and museums. The surrounding streets are not of interest to tourists but there are plenty of shops, supermarkets and restaurants. It is only a short walk to the U-bahn and a tram line runs directly past the hotel. It was a great advantage to be able to go sightseeing in the morning, return to the hotel for a rest after lunch and then pop back into town for dinner and more entertainment later on in the day.

I did not expect Vienna to be as humid as it was and I felt that the hotel was not completely equipped for this type of weather. There was a small fan supplied in the room but there was no air conditioning and as a result the room, which was smaller than average for a single was quite hot and stuffy at night. I assume that this is only a problem for a few weeks a year but it is worth considering if you are visiting in summer.

The staff were very obliging and my room was spotlessly cleaned every day by a very lovely maid. Wifi is available for free and there is a minibar in the room. Breakfast was the usual hotel buffet and there is also a restaurant open for lunch and dinner.

I enjoyed my stay here and would definitely consider returning on future visits.
