I truly enjoyed my stay at this charming hotel. The rooms were cozy and beautifully designed in the great Austrian old style, making me feel warm and at home during my visit. The location was perfect, just around the corner from the iconic St Stephan Cathedral and main shopping area. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the overall wonderful experience. However, the dining experience could have been more varied, and the bathroom was small but lovely.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated in traditional Viennese style, spacious, and had a large comfortable bed, though cleanliness could be improved. The service was top-notch, with helpful and polite staff but lacking some engagement. The location was perfect for exploring the city easily on foot. The dining experience offered a good selection of food to start the day right. Overall, a great value for money.

The hotel is ideally located for sightseeing Vienna, within walking distance of major city attractions like St Stephen's Cathedral.

The service was outstanding, with helpful staff ready to assist with any questions. The dining options were varied and delicious, offering a good quality experience. The location, being central in the old town near significant landmarks, was exceptional, though some noise from the street could be heard. Overall, a great value for the price paid.
