Liked: Cleanliness
Hotel, front (reception), and restaurant staff were fun. Issues hotel only is a relatively small hotel so it seemed understaffed. I sent an email via the Expedia app and never received a response. Tried regular customer email and got a nonsensical email, it’s possible that the staff member who responded didn’t understand because English is not her first language. The biggest issue is I placed a sign on my hotel room door for no housekeeping services but I could tell some entered my room without my permission (or to a certain extent). The room was partially cleaned like trash roomed and now towels are hanging on the wall. Bed wasn’t made and no new toilet paper rolls. If the staff member was not going to follow directions to not clean then I expect them not to enter my room. If staff member is going to enter then cleaning correctly is expected. I don’t know if this is a cultural issue but I never had this type of experience in all my travels.

Clean and quiet room. Basic amenities supplied but no hair conditioner or body lotion. The cleaning team came into my room before I had checked out - the hotel should notify the cleaning team once guests have checked out before coming to clean the room.

Great location

The hotel was in an excellent position and the staff were very friendly and helpful with providing local information. The room itself was a bit dark with the curtains open perhaps due to the small window but mainly due to the dark grey decor which was a little tired in places. The double sliding mirror doors to the bathroom was quirky but not ideal for me ,however 10/10 for the rain shower which was perfect in my opinion. As said great location and particularly if you like the local friendly bars and some good craft beer. A few minutes walk from the Ubahn and the busy centre for a true Vienna experience.

We arrived at this destination by taxi. Apparently in the afternoon/evening you cannot access the plaza in front by car. I wish somebody had told me this before we arrived with several suitcases in the late afternoon. I walked around the corner and found reception. They do not have anybody to help with the luggage. I walked around the corner and found reception. They do not have anybody to help with the luggage. They do have a little luggage cart you can roll over the cobblestones yourself. The plaza seems quaint and quiet but it turns into a bustling night spot for young people in the evening. If you’re looking for pubs and excitement and a youthful crowd, this might be a great choice of a hotel for you. We were very nicely greeted by reception. Our first room did not smell good and was right next to the elevator on the second floor, so I requested a change. We switched to a room on the third floor. The room was very small, but clean. There was very little room around the bed. The bathroom was fine, small but clean.One amenity I wish it had was hair conditioner. For breakfast, they charge 30 a person. It is very easy to go around the corner and get your own breakfast at a shop for less. The hotel is in a convenient location for taking a stroll by the water or going to Stephensplatz. With so many hotel options in Vienna, I do not believe this one has the amenities to be iworth the price.
