I had a nice stay at the hotel, located in a quiet area that is still accessible to the city center. The rooms were spacious and well-heated, making for a comfortable stay, although they lacked any special features. The service was overall friendly, but I did encounter one staff member who was less than pleasant. The breakfast spread was decent, featuring some delightful items but falling short in other areas. The price was fair, considering the value I received during my stay.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying its great location in the city center, just a short walk from Karlsplatz and the Opera. The room had a beautiful view, which was perfect for some morning yoga, but I found it a bit uncomfortable without any air conditioning. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my experience enjoyable. However, the price just felt a bit high given the lack of some amenities I expected.
