“A wonderful, comfortable and friendly place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2010

I can't praise "The Rooms" highly enough. Our room was comfortable and warm (important in Vienna in December!). Breakfast was tasty and generous, and the communal eating arrangements made for some interesting and cosmopolitan conversations. A perfect location, in the quiet suburb of Kagran but with excellent transport links to the city centre. Above all, helpful and friendly owners Eva and Joshua went out of their way to make our stay a thoroughly memorable and enjoyable one - in fact, one of the best city breaks we've ever had. It's just a fantastic place to stay.

“A home away from home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2010

I stayed at The Rooms this past spring and for me it was in many ways ideal. I was traveling alone but didn't want to stay in a hostel. The fact that this B&B is a bit outside the center meant that it was more affordable--although you do have to budget extra time to get in and out of the center. I loved the way each room was decorated/designed. I found it to be very relaxing, serene, and clean. The breakfast was tasty too. I would definitely go back, if I had the luxury of more days to spend. I didn't feel like I got to explore enough because I spent a lot of time commuting.

Thank you for your nice review! I am glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you at the rooms again in the future. I just would like to make a comment on the "commuting" part in your review: Vienna is a village! It does not compare to London, Paris or Rome. It is a very small town, so in order to get to places you need to "commute" (= take the subway) as you write but everything is reachable within minutes. To get to the city center (Stephansplatz) it is just 8 stops, each stop is about 1 minute, so 8 minutes in total. At busy times the metro comes every 2 minutes, so it takes a max. of 10 minutes to get there. I think that for a capital city that is really a relaxed way of traveling. Our advantage is that we are next to a subway station from where the metro takes you directly to Stephansplatz without changing lines. That makes it very quick. If you would stay in an area where you would have to change subway line or take the tram to the subway it is a different story. So, that's it regarding our location! Again, thanx and all the best!

“Unfortunate...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The Rooms is a small and nicely appointed B&B in a quiet suburb of Vienna. It's actually a really nice neighborhood. Our room was nicely decorated, very clean and the breakfast was quite good. On our last day we discovered a great restaurant on the water just a few minutes walk away. It would have been nice to get more attention and infomation from our host. We didn't see much of her and I felt a little weird asking for things. The other family staying there had small kids...very noisy! Next time, we'll choose something closer to the center and I will probably steer away from the bed and breakfast scenario. It has worked for us before...but this time it was just unfortunate.

Hello to Idaho! Thank you that you stayed with us and I am sorry that I was not here when you arrived on the first day and somebody else had to let you in. Normally I always have time to answer any questions, make recommendations or give advice. Sometimes I do need to take care of shopping etc. however, so that must have been one of these moments. The following days we probably spent too much time trying to fix your laptop and get you online, so we talked more about Apple than Vienna. I do not understand why you felt uncomfortable asking me about restaurants, it is always a pleasure for me to pass on my personal experiences regarding restaurants, shopping, interesting places etc. from my home to those who come to visit. Regarding the issue about the kids, well, that's something that I do not have any influence on. Kids are welcome here any time, I love children and I have fullest understanding if sometimes they simply don't feel well or are tired. I am very sorry that that this was disturbing for you. All the best for your next travels!

“if i could give it six stars...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010

oh. my. goodness.
we stayed for 4 nights in one of The Rooms apartments on Vorgartenstrasse and it blew us away.

the design, attention to detail, cleanliness and Eva's understanding (I had my wallet stolen in Rome and had no way to pay for the apartment until midway through our stay) made our Vienna sojourn a very memorable one.

such reasonable rates in a beautiful city.

no faults.

Thank you, Eva!!

x.

“Breakfast was better than bed at this B & B”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2010

The Rooms is a charming B & B in a nice residential area near the river and a few blocks from public transit. When we arrived we were greeted by Eva, handed a bus schedule and then off she went. We hardly saw her after that. I was hoping for some more interaction and availability for questions we might have as visitors to her host city. That said, she makes a lovely breakfast with the best cappucino we had throughout our entire trip.

I can only comment on the basement room that we lodged in but at first glance it was very nicely decorated and clean. However, the layout was a little inconvenient with the toilet across the room from the sink which had no soap, so we resorted to using the shower gel/shampoo that was in the shower stall. But the most distressing thing was the smell of urine or mold in the room. The first day is was overshadowed by the strong infusors she had but after that the smell was very obvious and distracting. Judging from the other reviews, it might be that the upstairs rooms did not have this problem.

I would go back if the I lodged in an upstairs room. The location was fine and it was reasonably priced.
