We booked Hotel Domizil, because we wanted a cheap hotel in the heart of Vienna, and were enchanted by the descriptions of an never ending breakfast buffet of muffins, croissants, and other delicacies that would warm even the emptiest bellies. However, the reality is quite different. The food is made early in the morning and kept in a warming container until the end of breakfast. This means the food you are eating at 10:00 am has been artificially warmed for several hours by the time it hits your taste buds. That being said, there were many options and it tasted okay.
Our room was a double with two twin beds squished together instead of the double bed we expected. We were able to sleep relatively well except for the loud sounds caused by the thin walls. The bathroom was acceptable; it was relatively clean with a shower and a tub. Strangely, the room key was an actual key attached to a 2 pound paper weight with the room number on it. Not exactly a comfy fit in my pocket.
The staff was friendly, never failing to greet us when we entered the hotel. Their english was good, and we could easily communicate. They even held our luggage for the day after we had already checked out.
We enjoyed the proximity to the U-bahn and Stephansplatz. A myriad of shops and tourist attractions like Hofburg Palace, Stadtpark and the museum quarter are within a 15 minute walk. We would recommend this hotel for anyone who is looking for a hotel close to the shopping, dining and attractions Stephansplatz has to offer.
