The Josefshof hotel was exceptional (and I’m an avid traveller with high standards). It is a wonderful boutique hotel on an idyllic quiet street in the centre of all the best historic sites but away from any chaos and tourists. The rooms were very clean and well-appointed, staff was lovely, and the feel in the hotel was calming and charming. The breakfast is fantastic and the attention to detail is impressive (a honeycomb?!). I loved having breakfast in the courtyard garden and returning there later in the day for some down time. I will not look anywhere else to stay for my next visit to Wien. I love everything about this hotel.
