The rooms are absolutely HUGE, esp. by European standards. The beds are also large and comfy. Our room had a large wash basin area as we opted for the shared bathroom--never had to wait for the shared shower or toilet, even though it was in August at the height of traveling season. The location is simply unbeatable. You are a... more

The Pension Kraml is located in Mariahilf (6th District), just off Mariahilfer Straße, a busy shopping street. The Kraml itself is in a quiet albeit unassuming neighborhood. Walking through the main gate, one is greeted by a neverending cascade of Strauss waltzes. The gate is locked at night but patrons' room keys will open the gate as well. The reception... more

Lovely intimate family run small hotel, in a great location. Right next to the main shopping street in Vienna and only 3 stops on the U-Bahn to the city centre. Nice spacious rooms (but no TV)and we had one with our own bathroom, which was good. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Recommendations would be to try and go on a... more

We stayed at Pension Kraml for 4 nights in early September and will not hesitate to return for our next stay in Vienna - during a trip around Europe and the US staying at 10+ different hotels, Pension Kraml was a standout and one of the least expensive. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly - it's a family-run business... more

Pension Kraml was a small, yet very accomodating "mom & pop" family run hotel, so service tended to be more personalized. Breakfast was delicious and all staff members were very nice. The location was great, within walking distance to Maria Hilfer Strasse-- one of the largest shopping areas in downtown/old town Vienna. They give you a map upon checking in... more

Booked directly with hotel thru website. A true gem. As a bread-and-breakfast, not all of the luxories of a 5-star. However, cleanliness, charm and location more than made up for it! Room was HUGE -- about 30'x30' with three separate beds. Great heat (it was Dec) and huge windows to street. Toilets were shared but no problem with access as... more

This is only 3 stops from town centre and was great for us - good service, advise and help beyond the call of duty from Herr Kraml - ensured we got breakfast before the restaurant usually opens. Get directions from west or south bahnhofs - spot on. more

I took my mother to Vienna for two days the last week in November to see the Christmas markets (the best one is at Neue Rathaus on the Ring). We wanted something clean and close to all the sights yet with the euro skyrocketing, we were on a budget. I went through three tour guide books and loads of stuff... more

We stayed at the Pension Kraml for two nights in late November, 2007. Our room was a large double without shower or toilet, costing E52 per night. I'll write the negatives first, since there are so few. The room smelled rather musty (probably the carpet) with the window shut. There is no lift and the stairs are long (one flight... more
