The hotel itself was beautiful and excelled in service - from the lovely afternoon tea and cakes reception to speedy help with all our requests. Someone even helped us arrange breakfast boxes to go and book a last-minute day tour after our previously booked tour fell apart. You can also buy public transportation tickets right from the front desk staff. The breakfast buffet was just phenomenal, with attentive table service for custom coffees.
Standard room was rather small with no particular view to speak of, but nicely and efficiently laid out and quiet. Very cute.The bathtub was unusually narrow - injured myself against the faucet getting out of it- and there was no bidet which I was surprised not to see in a nicer Austrian hotel, otherwise it had the convenience of both a tub and shower, good lighting and the heated towel racks were a nice touch. We had initial issues with our iron misfunctioning, found the door a little difficult to shut/lock completely (you had to pull shut hard so we accidentally left it ajar one night) and found the room service menu limited and a bit eclectic, but that’s really the only critique we had.
The location is quiet and safe, largely residential with a few little restaurants, pharmacy and grocery store a short walk away. It was about a 10-12 minute walk to the nearest U-Bahn station, which was a bit of a drag after a long day of walking, but manageable. Only a few stops away from the heart of Vienna. The hotel itself is on a narrow one way street, which I thought might be an issue with unloading and loading luggage, but it was fine, being a more quiet street tucked into a neighborhood.
Overall, great value for our money, with attentive staff really working hard to ensure a good experience for guests. With the proximity to transportation being my only hesitation, I would absolutely stay at this hidden gem again!
