Stayed 3 nights for the Christmas Markets. Great location near Rudolfplatz tram/underground stops and just across the road from Nikolausdorf market. Was really easy to get around the city from here. Room was spacious with all the usual amenities. Receptionists spoke excellent English (as my German is rubbish!) and were very helpful. Nice atmosphere in the lobby bar at night too. I’d stay here again.

Stayed in a Superior Room on fifth floor. It’s a little tired and shabby in places, very hot in the room. AC doesn’t run cold in the winter. The double glazing doesn’t work too well either, so the room is noisy at night. The WiFi didn’t work at all.
