Booked this for one night and when arriving at the lobby, where there was a long queue in front of me and quickly behind. The desk staff processed people at turtle speed to let each know that the computer system was down and they couldn't check people in. They had no idea of how long it would take, no alternative option (putting people in a different hotel), except telling people to have a drink in the lobby.
From the looks of it, people had been waiting a long time.
I asked to cancel my reservation done with booking under the excuse that they can't because it's an external system. However booking offers a "request free cancellation" which needs to be approved by the hotel, and I hoped to be able to do that and get them to confirm.
Now I'm in limbo: no room, risky to book another one elsewhere as I'll pay double and higher prices if they don't cancel my room, and it's Vienna: they don't do check in very late...
The lack of organization, communication, and friendliness makes me recommend to avoid this place.
