I saved my 100th review for something special. And my trip to Vienna gave me a good reason to write this review. I have been in this hotel for a few times now. I guess the fact that I keep on returning speaks for itself.
I love the whole eco and green concept, I love the organic and delicious breakfasts. I love the attentive and helpful staff. I love the garden and the lavender on the roof and...basically everywhere :-) It was sunny this time so I could sit in the garden in the evening enjoying herbal tea and after breakfast enjoying the sun.
The staff always helps me when I need, they keep my luggage in a special room when I leave the town in the evening.
So far I've been to both parts of the hotel, the old and the new. I prefer the old one though. The rooms are more spacious, the furniture is more classic and antique-ish.
I like that they use their lavender products in shower. I like to buy the product made of their lavender as gifts - syrup, soap, bath melts, chocolate....hmmm.
If you're into eco and green, this is a perfect place for you. If you arrive by a bicycle or a train you get a special discount. You can park your bicycle downstairs. They use solar energy, they save water...you name it. They were the first eco-friendly hotel in Vienna.
I don't like posh hotels, I like smaller ones with a family atmosphere and an original concept. So this one is just perfect for me. I never knew I could love a hotel. Well.... :-)
It's only two stops by a tram to the railway station, or you can walk if it's nice outside. If you get a room with a garden view, you easily forget you're in the middle of a busy city. The neighbourhood isn't posh, but hey, I'm no Sissi anyway.
