Fabulous
Hotel in the heart of Vienna, excellent location. Nice design, beautiful old building, reconstracted with taste. Breakfast was good, wide choice of pastry and bread, lots of choice for vegans as well. Very nice waiter who was walking amoung people offering sweet pastry or fruit - original, personal approach, we liked it. Price - quality very good, our stay fulfilled our demands.
We missesed a bit wider choice of warm meals for breakfast - like scrambled eggs, sausages. There were only cooked eggs.

Lovely hotel in Vienna
The rooms were large and had lovely views of the city. Very close to all main attractions, modern, clean, great lounge areas
One of the members of staff were abit rude when we asked to leave our bags which is a service they offer anyway

The location is great, easy to get from the airport with public transportation, and in a central location to walk around the city.
The room was in a good size but the toilet and shower is in a bit small space. There is no minibar or similar in the room to save something cold for latet

Quiet and clean. The location is great as you can go any direction from the hotel.
They didn't provide shower kits and slippers, the floor was cold due to winter time.

It was the perfect hotel for our trip to Vienna.
The location is perfect for a city trip. It’s just a one minute walk to the opera, or if you like to go shopping just a 2 minutes walk to one of the most popular shopping streets.

A triumph of turquoise color in the center of Vienna
Unbeatable location a couple of minutes from the State Opera House and Albertina museum; great choice of cocktails in the bar; predominant turquoise color in the reception hall as well as in the rooms (cushions, curtains, fauteuils) - charming!

Good location
This is our second stay. We were here many years ago and liked that it is near the subway station Karlsplatz and restaurants and shops. Check in was fast but after that there was a long queue as it is a large hotel and busy. There are several lifts. They open in different directions, so learn to choose one going to your room without having to carry heavy luggage up or down stairs. The room is minimalist but tastefully furnished and clean. There was no kettle, coffe nor tea, no fridge. The tv has English channels. The bathroom is small but clean. It has the essentials and hair dryer.
Our room had a “balcony” but it connects with the next room. Good for families who want connecting rooms. Not so good for us. We had to ensure that the door is locked at all times and put something against the curtains as it does not draw fully.

Great stay in Vienna
Room was clean, very hot water, lovely shower with strong pressure, heat worked well, and the location was unmatched! 2 minute walk to the Vienna Opera Hpuse, 5 minute walk to shops and museums. Steps away from the nearest subway line. About a 20 minute walk to a laundromat which was very helpful. I would definitely stay again given the opportunity.
Room and bathroom were quite small, but manageable. No drinking water in the room, but enough shops nearby that we could grab one.

Excellent place to stay for an enjoyable holiday!
Hotel in very central, just a minute away from an underground stop. Lots of shops and plenty of things to do in the area! Hotel is modern and had a good choice of food for breakfast! Bed was comfortable and room was very clean everyday. Shower was nice and spacious.
Our room was a bit small and the window does not open, so at times it felt a bit stuffy. No mini fridge but that is not a big deal.
