Would not recommend this place, unfair treatment. No buffet breakfast I understand due the virus, no sauna, no housekeeping but other guests seemed to receive it. Had to ask for water and beer that was supposedly to be in mini fridge in first place and they try to shame you and give a very hard time. Never would return to this hotel. Never. Felt very abused. I paid for almost three weeks stay and had to do my own housekeeping after six days. Very rude and unfair.

Excellent hotel would stay again
The hotel is very easy to get to from the airport costs 2.50 with the train and takes about 40 mins although you do have to change trains. A short walk from the station to the hotel. From the outside the hotel looks old and dated however the rooms have been done up and look excellent. While I was there they were doing up some more of the hotel so it may change more next I go. The room had a little kitchen which was ideal after our flight to make something quick to eat. (the spar in Vienna airport is very handy) the hotel gives you from tea, coffee, hot chocolate and beer which was and excellent treat. The breakfast was well worth the extra money and was excellent. You got lots of fresh bread and fruit as well as cooked bacon and sausages. There was also a good selection of cold cuts and cheese. I make a fresh waffle for breakfast. There was a good selection of tea and coffee available. Although the breakfast is self served however the very friendly staff are available to help if needed

Superb location and warm
Amazing! Tram 38 or down the road a main station or tram 37D to City Center but people should get off at other stops on way as lovely places with food and shopping etc. Everything g you need. The saunas x 3 and infra red treatment booths are excellent with cold power showers for healing. A superb place. Slightly noisy if you have bad guests but this was for half hour. Really am happy about finding these place. Sleep was lovely. For U.K. speakers the TV and Cable cannot be changed so if that’s what your after you can use WiFi for Netflix. FREE beer and water for your stay. Food shopping next door. Travel by tram to CC and then all over to the main sites is easy and quick. Do not use the hop on hop off bus. Takes ages and I saw one place for half hour. Get a two day travel ticket which also works on all transport in Vienna City Centre which covers the Hotel route. Also not far from the tourist spot Ginzing.
