Our stay at this hotel was an absolute disaster. From the moment we arrived, we faced one issue after another.
On our first night, I couldn’t even take a bath because something was stuck inside the bathtub. At midnight, the hotel moved us to another room on the second floor, which turned out to be a construction site—tools, paint fumes, and debris everywhere! The receptionist even apologized, admitting there were no other available rooms. We tried to stay despite being exhausted, but the horror movie-like corridors made it impossible. Out of fear and frustration, we returned to our original room, where we still couldn’t use the shower.
To make things worse, despite requesting a double bed, we were given two single beds pushed together—completely different from what was promised.
The next day, we were moved yet again. While this room at least had a working shower, it still had two single mattresses instead of a real double bed, making it incredibly uncomfortable. The mattresses were terrible, the pillows even worse, and the curtains didn’t block the light, making it impossible to sleep properly.
When we raised our concerns, the receptionist shockingly dismissed the entire situation, saying that after the clear disaster of the first night, they had “given us an option” to move to the construction-site room—as if that was an acceptable alternative! They even tried to justify the situation, saying that things like this can happen and that at the end of the day, we had what we needed to sleep—a bed! This level of service and disregard for guests’ well-being is completely unacceptable.
Beyond these major issues, the entire hotel and the rooms are not well preserved. While it’s nice that they try to keep the old Vienna character, it doesn’t change the fact that the equipment and overall condition are not well maintained. There is no air conditioning, which is simply unacceptable in a hotel.
On top of that, the hairdryer kept overheating—it worked for one minute at a time before shutting down and needing a cooldown break. Is there anyone who can dry their hair in one minute? Or are guests supposed to dry their hair with intervals?
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone based on the poor room conditions, lack of maintenance, and the lack of professionalism shown by the staff.
