We had a 3 night stay in this hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was pleasant and clean. The bed was comfortable. The hotel was around 15-20 minutes walk from many of the main tourist spots in Vienna. There is not a restaurant for dinner but plenty of places not too far away. The hotel was being renovated externally but this did not disrupt our stay.

This is the second time I have stayed at this wonderful hotel. I spent six days there two years ago and this time I was there for 10. It’s a beautiful building, and the hotel has amazing service, friendly staff, and a lovely breakfast buffet, and beautiful garden to enjoy it in. I will definitely be back. it’s definitely worth paying a bit extra to have the Gustav Klimt-themed art nouveau room!
