    Nothing.

    The area is quiet, not touristic. The connection with the centre is easy both by tram and metro. The room is large, clean, and well equipped. The hotel has very nice collection items that show its history.

    It’s a wonderful family-run hotel with warm enteriors and welcoming staff. Metro station is very close, so the city center is reachable within 20 minutes.

    Wonderful hotel with character. It is a unique and not cookie-cutter chain hotel. Staff was friendly and professional. Breakfast was lovely.

    Sound proof could be a bit better but it’s inevitable for properties with some age. But it didn’t bother us too much!

    Love it!! Retro, classic and clean. I spent five very laidback night here. It seems to be operated by a small crew of very sweet ladies, who also prepares the nicest breakfast and does the cleaning exceptionally speedy. Thank you all for providing me with such a warm and memorable stay, I had the best new year holiday for my first visit to Vienna.

    The only thing that I dont like is the pillow, too thin for my liking

    The room was big, well actually maybe its more we can call an apt. It has 2 bedrooms, separate room toilet and shower. My 12yo daughter in her own bedroom and she was so pleased. Staffs are super friendly and mostly they can speak English. Location is also easy to reach from the airport. Just use City Airport Train from Airport until Landstraße, change to U3 to Ottakring direction and you are off until the last station. Walk for about 400m, you reach the hotel. Very easy. And when we wanted to walk around the city, just take the U3 and you are good to go to the main city center, old city center ect. Breakfast is traditional German breakfast, with Brötchen, Schinken, eggs, yogurt, juices, tea or coffee. Its so homey there. It feels like coming to Oma's house with some antique furniture around. When we left, we also got a little souvenir, a snowglobe!! I recommend this hotel to anyone who will go to vienna. You will not regret it.

    The location was great for us when visiting family in the direct area. It was easy enough to get to the centre of town by public transport. The hotel was run by very friendly ladies. Breakfast was very good. We appreciated how quiet the hotel was at night. Very comfortable room, and the public areas were eclectic, interesting and quirky. We would definitely go back.

    The ladies who run this hotel are so lovely, very kind and welcoming and hospitable. The hotel is charming with great location. If you are looking for ultra modern high end hotels, this is not it. If you are looking for a "Viennese" style stay, look no further.

    A hotel with a homely atmosphere. Very nice service, very good contact with the owner. Cozy rooms, kettle and coffee maker in the room. Very tasty breakfast, lots of choice. We parked right outside the hotel, but there were plenty of free parking spaces in the surrounding streets. Close to supermarkets, close to the subway, tram stops and P+R car park. Recommendable.

    Area is not great and furniture dated.

    Situated in a recently refurbished old building, this hotel is a nice accomodation, although pretty far from the centre. We got a suite with 2 rooms, bathroom and toilet, all very nice and clean but a little dated. Kettle and coffee machine were a plus. Breakfast was good but a little crowded, the first day we had to wait for a table to be free. The owners are always present and very nice. Parking outside is very cheap in this area, 4 E pet day during the week and free in weekends.

    No air-conditioning in the rooms but we did have a fan. In all fairness aircon is probably not needed 99% of the time, we just happened to stay during the hottest week of summer. :D

    Lovely host, friendly and helpful, even had some toys for our daughter to play with. Comfortable rooms, quirky hallways, tasty breakfast.
