This hotel was a delightful surprise in every way. It's a true gem in Vienna. Clean, comfortable, with wonderful staff, and in an excellent location, close to public transport and the city's iconic landmarks. Architecturally, it's beautifully preserved. On my birthday, I found a greeting card in my room and a credit for the hotel bar. It couldn't have been better! I highly recommend it for a pleasant stay in Vienna.
