I stayed here the past two nights with my wife while visiting Vienna. Upon entering the hotel we had to take a lift up to the 1st floor. Once we had made it there check in was a breeze. As a matter of a fact you could use the touchscreen device to check in and even print the keycards for your room. The check in area doubled as both a bar and the breakfast area. In the US we would have called it trendy and hipster and I think that it would have fit right into the Kimpton or Ace hotel groups.
Our room ended up being on the fifth floor and we had to pass both a sun terrace and a yoga terrace. Whenever we made it to our room we entered to the music of the radio that was on in the hall. They actually had a Samsung Galaxy tied to the lock. Unfortunately, I ended up having some issues with it turning on in the middle of the night but powering it off quickly solved that. Our room itself was different and interesting. There was a large flat screen tv on a desk and then side by side shower and toilet areas. These were both quite ample in size but the weird thing was that the toilet only had frosted glass outside of it while the shower had clear glass and a curtain to pull over it. Rounding out the room was the sink/mirror area. The bed in the room ended up being comfortable although I found it weird that a room for 2 would have 1 normal sized pillow and 1 mini pillow on the bed. Both the bathroom and sink had ample amounts of soap and other toiletries in them.
The bottom line for me is that I would come back here again in the future and would recommend everyone else to as well. If I had stayed here in the US I would have expected droves of hipsters around but this place seemed to cater to both the business and vacation crowd, none of which were actually hipsters. Due to that I really ended up enjoying the vibe of this place and I feel like we got good value for our money. read more
Value, value, value. Excellent choice. Stayed for three nights and enjoyed the room, food, drinks and service. Only con for us was elevator was a little slow but that didn't take away from our stay. We weren't in a rush on vacation. read more
