The rooms are basic. For example there is woodchip wallpaper and no desk (I'm writing this with my laptop propped on the fold-up suitcase stand :-). Just two low beds, two cairs and a minibar fridge with an old 12" telly on top. Shower only and very old fasioned fittings. That said - I would stay again because you can... more

This hotel is in a very good location. That is about all that it has going for it. The room we had was ok but I've stayed in better in hotels rated 3* and costing half the price. The breakfast was poor - again, I've had better in 3*. The hot choice was some scrambled egg that looked as though... more

Cannot beat the location. We had two rooms for a family of five. Hotel is older but the rooms were clean and functional and plenty big. Breakfast was great. Great base to explore Vienna from. Nothing like turning the corner jut a fre steps from the door and looking up to St. Stephen's. more

4 stars rating refers to the great location of the hotel. The bathrooms were very old but clean. Very nice breakfast. more
