Vienna is hideously expensive for hotels, so let's be honest, you're not going to get much for 75 euros a night in this town.
To be fair, we found the Marien-Hof to be clean and reasonably convenient for public transport connections. We also had a useful kitchen area where we could make drinks and snacks.
On the other hand, after spending even a short amount of time in our third-floor apartment, it was hard not to become swiftly depressed by the tacky decor, creaky laminate flooring, and cheap, dated furniture, some of which looked like it had been rescued from a skip, circa 1958.
Breakfast was charged for separately, and, at 12 euros a head, seemed excessive. The tiny bathroom was functional, although it was uniformly clad (walls, floor and ceiling) in a vibrant orange-coloured plastic material which could possibly induce headaches, rather like flash photography, if you stayed in there too long.
The pathetically weak wi-fi internet connection, although free, was next to useless. It only worked intermittently and at a speed best described as glacial.
The sound on the ancient TV in our bedroom was inaudible if you were sitting more than 18 inches away from the screen. No English language channels were available.
Despite leaving the windows open all day and night, we could never remove that faintly musty and decaying atmosphere that tends to pervade all old buildings. Outside it was not particularly warm, but the apartment just seemed to gather heat, particularly at night. I certainly would not want to spend any time in here when the weather is really hot.
We stayed for 4 nights, and never saw nor heard another soul in residence, the place appeared to be deserted.
One thing to bear in mind: I wouldn't recommend to anyone that they make their way unaccompanied at night back to the Marien-Hof from the Jagerstrasse U-bahn station, a walk which involves the negotiation of some mean-looking back streets.
Overall I think it's worth investing more on better quality accommodation, particularly if you're spending more than a couple of days in Vienna, and you want more than a bed and a base.
