We stayed at the Schweizer Pension for four nights early in September 2009. We found the owners to be very helpful and polite and our stay was very pleasant. Breakfast each morning was everything one could wish including fresh rolls, cold meats and cheese, juice, cereals, jams and jellies, and plentiful hot coffee. our room was spotlessly clean and tidy... more

+: nice and clean traditional pension which suits (more than) the standards +: good location, in the inner circle of Vienna's city +: good and abundant breakfast +: price - : too many rules (don't do this, don't do that) but any of them are written down somewhere! had an unpleasant experience with one of the stafmembers who reprimanded me... more

Large room, very clean, small bath. Great looking floors until you got up in the night and they squeaked and cracked like crazy. It was noisy. Street noise but especially noise from the shared baths that were near our door. I woke up every night I was there, a couple of time. The "no" is coming from the sewer smell... more

We had a lovely stay at the Scweizer Pension in June 2009. We had a double room with bathroom. The room itself was huge, with lovely features, including a ceramic stove/heather and wooden floor. The whole pension was immaculate. Breakfast was good - bread, ham, cheese and egg/tomato, with options of cereal, museli etc. We felt the pension was very... more

We found this place in Lonely Planet, with location being the key advantage, and it was. A short walk to the underground or the square in the other direction. We swapped stories with the owner and got lots of helpful advise. We had a big room and stayed 5 nights, which just flew. We could easily stayed longer looking around... more

After reading some of the other reviews of the Schweizer Pension, it's obvious to me there are travelers who expect and demand the impersonal, sterile, and generic standards of a "Holiday Inn" as opposed to opening their hearts to the warmth and charm of this family-run lodging located smack dab in the romantic city center of Vienna. For many reasons,... more

Schweizer Pension is located ideally in the First District on a quiet street, within short walking distance of countless attractions and modes of transportation. We decided to share bathroom and shower facilities, and with a bit of strategizing, never had to wait to use them. The opportunity to meet people of various nationalities was a lot of fun, and that... more

We stayed for a few nights at the Schweizer Pension and were quite satisfied. The location is great. It's very close to the train station and the centre of Vienna, and in a quiet area near a handy supermarket. We took a double room with shared bathroom, and our bedroom was a good size, very clean and comfortable with sink... more

We booked at the last minute through the tourist office in Vienna. The rooms are very clean, comfortable and spacious. We had a shared bathroom which was also spotless. The staff were very friendly and helpful at all times and the breakfast was delicious. The pension is centrally located to the centre of Vienna. We would definitely stay here again. more
