Nahe am HBF - bin schon öfter hier gewesen und war meistens zufrieden. Jetzt: für die Sauna gibt es laut Rezeption keinen Bademantel (mehr?) In der Sauna traf ich einen Gast der hatte sogar einen am Zimmer! 🤔

Bra läge nära centralstationen och modernt hotell. Allt annat var bra, förutom en ganska loj mottagning på receptionen och att på bastuavdelningen var duscharna inte fungerande. Ofräscht. Också när vi skulle gå en kvart innan stängningsdags kliver en städare in i avdelningen som inte har omklädninsrum (?!) mitt i att vi var halvnakna. Fortsätter städa utan att bry sig att vi är halvt påklädda! Receptionen gav oss kompensation av att bastun inte komplett med drinkkuponger för 2 (vi var 3). Så servicen kanske lite sisådär. Baren mysig och bra service!

Very friendly staff capable of several languages. Outstanding fitness areas both inside (machines, dumbbells, etc) and outside (e.g. bars for pull-ups). Cool vibe. Room was spacious and well-designed. For example, desk had 2 mainland European outlets, 1 UK outlet, and 1 US outlet. 2 blocks from intercity train station, main U1 subway, and several street cars made getting around city convenient. While surrounding area wasn’t touristy, always felt safe at all times of day and night. Didn’t eat at restaurant due to my schedule, but breakfast always smelled good when I passed in my way out each morning. Spent 5 nights. Was there mostly for work plus a day of vacation. Would definitely stay again if in Vienna.

The hotel was perfectly positioned for us as it was just up from the train station - this made it easier to catch trains for onward journeys and subways to parts of Vienna that were further away. It is a bit of a walk from the ‘main’ part of Vienna though. What made this hotel particularly great for us was the free bike hire. We could easily get around for free and see much more of Vienna than we could have done on foot. They were brilliant! Room was comfortable and clean, we were on the top floor and it was so quiet. Staff were really lovely. Overall a great stay.

Zumindest eine Mitarbeiterin hat versucht eine Lösung zu finden und war nett. Alles in allem: Finger weg. Für 150 Euro pro Nacht extrem überbezahlt! Das gesamte Hotel macht einen ungepflegten Ei druck ist ist deutlich zu teuer!

Excellent location for the station as we travelled to Vienna by train. Also very easy to get to the airport for our departure. We booked and had confirmation of a king size bed, but we actually were given a room with a queen size bed. Very spacious room (suite). I liked the separate toilet but it should have had a hand basin in it. I didn't like the room number and direction signs in the hotel, (made to look like chalk marks on blackboard). They made the hotel look cheap. Also the display of empty wine bottles in reception looked dreadful and again, cheap and nasty.

Initially it was good. The lady who assisted is was great. The room was a bit spacious and has air conditioning for the summer but the bathroom was split in half. There would have been no issue but there was no sink in the toilet section. We would have to go to the shower section to wash our hands. The door to the bathroom was a frosted glass sliding door that does not close completely. We requested for our room to be cleaned but it was not cleaned properly. Only the towels were replaced, the garbage can cleaned and bed done. The coffee tables and tables were not cleaned. Coffee and tea were not refilled and cups were not replaced. Also, my friend asked for some ice and was rudely advised that the bar was closed and there is no ice he can give. I don't think I will recommend this hotel to my friends.

Booked 2 suites and paid extra specifically for king sized beds. One of the suites on the top floor was a small “full” bed. We were able to switch to another room but it was smaller and then after 2 nights we had to move to a suite that we originally booked. No compensation was offered. We would have liked something like breakfast or a credit for the restaurant. Also the lobby is Always smoky because the employees sit outside with the door open and smoke behind the bar. Location is close to train station

Ein tolles Hotel mit einem hervorragenden Frühstück! Wir würden 5 Sterne vergeben, wenn wir am Tag der Abreise (4:30 h in der Frühe) das Hotel hätten verlassen können. Es gab einen technischen Defekt im System, der verhinderte, dass die Türen, die elektrisch betrieben werden, nicht funktionierten und das Telefon lahmgelegt hat. So blieben die Türen verschlossen. Der Empfang (welcher 24 Stunden besetzt ist) war zu diesem nicht besetzt, da dieser Mitarbeiter seinen Rundgang gerade machte. Wir haben über 15 min auf ihn gewartet, damit er uns hinaus ließ. In der Zwischenzeit war der Bus zum Flughafen ohne uns unterwegs. Der Mitarbeiter vom Empfang hat zunächst versucht die Tür zu öffnen. Und hat dann ein Taxi auf Hotelkosten bestellt, welches uns zum Flughafen gebracht hat. Der Schreck in der Morgenstunde mit Kettenreaktion.

There are directions from the station, but the area around the hotel is a little dark at night. There is a BILLA (supermarket) under the hotel, which is very convenient. The amenities in the rooms change according to the rank of the room, so I think it would be more comfortable to stay in a room of a higher rank.
