In brief

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Traditional style may feel dated — While the old-Vienna charm is a draw, some guests noted the hotel could use investment in its furnishings and overall condition.
  • Breakfast may not suit everyone — Some guests found the breakfast limited in variety, even though others praised it. Expectations may depend on what you're used to.
  • Language limitations at reception — Reception staff mainly speak German and English; guests who needed Spanish, Italian, or French found communication difficult.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.

“The location can't be beaten – right in District One with all the monuments, restaurants, and bars. The downside: reception only spoke German and English, and breakfast wasn't very extensive.”
