As its name suggests, the hotel is brilliant
The decor and furnishings of this hotel exude a charming retro vibe, and its location is superb, being close to both tram and subway stations. Moreover, the breakfast selection is diverse, making it definitely worth recommending!

Nice breakfast and friendly staff, adequate otherwise
I really liked the Philipino breakfast option - a nice surprise. Staff was very friendly
The room was basic and in dire need of modernization - I don't think much has been done since the early 90s.

Perfect, thank you
Home from home and the food was amazing :)

Nice - could have been nicer.
Location.
I think the concept of two slices of rye bread, an egg, cheese, ham, somehow worn vegetables and a bit of Granola Müslie for Breakfast is a littel bit too spartanic for the price charged. Especially since there is no proper coffee creme ("Verlängerter" in Vienna) from the machine but only some "Filterkaffee"...

charming place!

Great! Definitely would return.
Clean spacious rooms. Very comfy beds with everything you need in the room. Breakfast was simple but excellent. Staff were helpful and kind.
Nothing. Other reviews state an issue with the noise from the courtyard being very noticeable however given it was winter and no one was sitting in the courtyard this wasn’t an issue we experienced.

Everything was perfect. Looking forward to visit in summer season because of the lovely courtyard. Location is excellent. We had the best of my life just around the corner. Book this hotel if you plan to visit Vienna!

We enjoyed our visit to Vienna - perhaps in summer the hotel experience would have been more enjoyable as we could have
Good location near underground and buses/teams.
Our room was very basic.

Very good.
Difficult to think of anything bad to say.
Great staff and good food.Great location.

Excellent location. A couple of things to improve.
It was conevniently located. Pretty near the subway and the bus. Aldo the property was clean and had the restaurant inside.
It was quite noisy because of the restaurant. The rooms were not sound-proof. The pillows were extremely uncomfortable. They should need to be replaced urgently. In the toilet there was not hair conditioner. Just a shampoo to be used in hair and body. For people traveling light, a shampoo and hair conditioner is very much appreciated.

Lovely
Excellent location. Great breakfast. Reception staff were very friendly and informative. I left something behind which the staff found and kept for me. We were able to store luggage after check out.
No coffee to go with kettle in the bedroom. Not enough plug points in room.

We had a good time with excellent public transport around Vienna
Attractive courtyard with flower bedecked balconies.
Would have preferred buffet style breakfast.

Nice stay, nice staff
Staff was very accommodating. We had a red-eye flight so we where very tierd when we aŕrived. They gave us early excess to our room. Which we where very thankfull for. Only stayed one night and it was cozy for a short stay. Recommend checking out the restaurant we had a nice dinner but sadly had to leave before breakfast to catch a train.
Nothing to conplain about really, just not a fan of the pillows.

Pleasant
Very nice breakfast. Friendly staff. Good facilities.
My room got weirdly hot (I estimate about 10C warmer than outside). Due to the layout of the hotel it's possible for anyone to walk into the hotel room via a fully open window, which made me uncomfortable. Hotel was a little tricky for me to locate but still walking distance from nearest U-Bahn stations.

Location and ambience great. Room good for the price, very hot due to temperatures in Vienna. Breakfast great, we didn't eat dinner there but it was very popular. If you wnat to eat on Friday and Saturday night you must book.
Price was a little high.
