Nice upgrade from our normal hotel rooms! Plus a Fantastic Frühstück!
My wife and I recently took a tour of Austria and Switzerland. As it happened, our first night was in Vienna at the Austria Trend Hotel Savoyen.
When we opened the door to see a King bed as well as a large couch and coffee table plus a nice desk with an adequate number of plugs to charge "devices", we knew we were being spoiled - by "our" standards in the States.
This was my first time in Europe, but the shower took a little experimenting to figure out (but it wasn't too hard). The A/C cooled quite well; nice since it was warm when we arrived. Other hotels on our trip had no A/C at all; there we simply opened the window to let the cool air in.
The Front Desk staff were friendly and helpful. Andrea in particular was able to help get my iPhone and WiFi only iPad set up on the hotel's free WiFi. Since we were stay-ing 2 nights, this was a big help. They were also pleasant when I had to break large Euros - they had run out of 5 Euro bills because others were needing change, but he was still pleasant.
The bed was so comfortable that it was quite easy to fall asleep, even though keeping the room cool was not as easy. Something new to us was the lack of a "flat sheet", we had one heavy comforter. Still, a decent night's sleep.
Oh, the breakfast, or Frühstück, was incredible. So many choices of different foods. Everything from fresh cut fruit and 5-6 varieties of yogurt to pastries, breads, bacon and eggs, sausage links, many choices of coffee and juices. I could go on, but I was well pleased with the breakfast.
The breakfast was quite delicious with the numerous options. To clarify, back in the States, some of our hotels do provide a very decent "Continental Breakfast". Over here, though - this is a different Continent and we had a far better Breakfast.
Overall, we had a very pleasant and relaxing stay - helpful staff, comfortable rooms, and excellent Frühstück. If you're coming to Vienna, you will be quite pleased when you stay here. read more
