The hotel is simple but overall good. The problem was that in the middle of the day I was called because apparently there was a leak from my room to the floor downstairs. When I arrived back at the hotel hours after they still haven't resolved the issue and claimed to not have other rooms, so I had to go look for another hotel after a long day of meetings. I asked for them to at least get me somewhere to take a shower and they claimed not to have any options for me.
Hotel was in great location. Near train station. Didnt realize no AC and it was very warm. They did supply a fan and its fine if only one person in room. Windows had to stay open but bus stop and bar downstairs made early night too noisy. Checkin only till 5pm so had to be done electronically via a machine. Difficult for a less techy visitor. Still a good stay. Nice rooms.

I loved the view from the bedroom and overall the room was comfortable. The bathroom was tight and a bit small but we made it work. My main issue is with the reception. The guy at the welcome desk was extremely unwelcoming and unkind. I asked about parking when I overheard him tell another guest it was free. I asked where exactly we were allowed to park for free so I made sure I followed any rules. He looked at me like I was stupid, rolled his eyes and said my question made no sense. Then he said yes, you can park on the street by the hotel for free. So we did what he said we could and found a nice ticket the morning of our departure. Only because of him I will never stay at this location again. He was horrible at his job and very unprofessional.
Really enjoyed my stay, I'd emailed to say I'd be there before check in and they said I could possibly check in early or there was a luggage store. When I arrived my room wasn't available which was to be expected but then there seemed to be a problem as lots of phone calls and the word overbooking was used. Was all resolved (sorry if you were the booking that got moved). Room was lovely, just incredibly warm. Brilliant location, as close enough to the centre but not overwhelmingly so. Public transport is the dream in Vienna. Would absolutely stay here again
It was close to city hall and other Christmas markets

Loved the chandelier in my room! Great view of the Votive Church - which is beautiful at night. Floodlit.
Few too many stairs for this old lady - but there is a lift eventually.
Handy having access to a jug for a cuppa.
I had prepaid the first nite at $ 109 and was informed this was only the price for the first nite, the second and third nite would be $ 140 and $ 139 respectively. When you come, you have to carry your suitcase up 2 flites of stairs, then take an elevator up another flight to the reception and the carry your suitcase up another floor to your tiny, tiny room. The shower is great but the entry to the shower is so small that an slightly overweight person cannot access the shower.
The hotel was in a perfect location for a weekend exploring Vienna. Our flight was delayed and hotel staff were great at communicating with us regarding late check in.
The hotel was right by Votivkirche and the surrounding area had great restaurants and bars. It was also close to a big tram and train station/stop, although you could also walk into the very heart of the city within 15/20 mins.
The hotel was quiet and the room was good for the weekend. The staff were helpful when needed - they were there between 07.00-19.00 and could be contacted via Whatsapp out of hours.
The only issue we faced was that our shower was either really cold or scolding hot and could only get a decent temperature for about 60 seconds at a time.
Would highly recommend this hotel to people looking for weekend breaks in the city.
It’s a pension hotel, one flight of stairs leading up to the lift (around 12 stairs). Very convenient - tram stop about 30m which leads to metro, which is only about 3 mins walk anyway. Excellent room with a double bed and sofa bed.
The property had no air conditioning. I had Expedia call and ask if the property had AC and was told by an agent that they called the hotel and confirmed both rooms I reserved had AC. I got there and no AC.
The staff at check in indicated there is nobody there from 7pm to 9am. What kind of hotel is this? Gave me key to open the front door of the building down at street level.
Room was incredibly small. Could barely move in there. They say the property was updated and if it was, I'd hate to see it previously.
I didn't even stay at the hotel. Even though I prepaid, I went to a different hotel, costing me another 500$ unexpectedly.
DO NOT BOOK AT THIS HOTEL. I WOULD NOT EVEN BOOK A ROOM AND GIVE IT TO A HOMELESS GUY FOR A NIGHT IT IS SO BAD.
Great location and very clean rooms! Only a few minute walk from subway station, streetcar stop, cafes and restaurants, grocery store.
It’s an easy walk from Christmas market as well.
I arrived early but they made my room ready before the official check in time- I was able to rest before going out to explore the city. I’m very thankful they accommodated me.
