A significant number of guests really liked the fact that this hotel is set in a relatively relaxed part of Vienna yet is still readily accessible to the hustle and bustle of the city centre via the nearby train, metro and tram options. Visitors also appreciated being close to a number of major touristic and artistic destinations and having plenty of restaurants and bars in the vicinity.
It is fair to say a great many travellers have been delighted to discover this hotel provides a free cake buffet (and gratis tea/coffee) every single afternoon. Guests reported with some glee that, more often than not, the cakes are still available late at night.
Very few visitors had a bad word to say about the industrious personnel who work at this hotel. Indeed, most of the guests who've stayed here have said they found staff members helpful and friendly, and very accomplished at speaking English.
It has been noted by numerous guests that front-facing accommodations are often blighted by noise generated by traffic and people on the street below. Most disgruntled visitors agreed that booking a room at the rear of the property is the wisest policy.
Travellers have observed that the lack of any kind of effective in-room air-conditioning ensures the guest rooms here can get frustratingly warm and muggy during the warmer months of the year.
If you're someone who needs to be online a lot while travelling then take heed: many irritated guests have found the wireless Internet here somewhat temperamental.
