Reviews
Room: high ceilings, very spacious. A standard, well-maintained room: nothing fancy, but comfortable.
Unlimited water in the lobby. Breakfast was modest, but there was something to eat.
The subway station was right in front of the hotel, the tram station was just a few minutes away, and there were three bakeries nearby that were open from 6am, as well as a cafe that was open in the morning. It was very convenient, with a supermarket that sells deli goods just a few minutes walk away.
Regarding the accommodation, I had a problem with my credit card when I arrived and was unable to pay immediately, but they said I could rest in my room even if it was the next day, which was very helpful. Many of the staff members greeted me with a smile, and it was a warm hotel. A female staff member with a cute smile greeted me with a smile every morning and when I returned home, which made it very comfortable.
As for the room, it was very good! However, I had only one complaint. Although the room was very spacious, the bathroom was small for some reason, so I gave up on filling the bathtub with hot water. Other than that, it was great. I asked the hotel twice, when I made the reservation and when I spoke to the local Japanese who was our guide, whether there was a microwave, but both times they said there wasn't. From the photos of the room, there was a microwave-like appliance on the shelf above the kitchen, so I thought it might be an oven, but there was both an oven and a microwave. I was very satisfied with being able to heat up the deli food from the supermarket and reheat bread in the oven.
There is a kitchen, but it doesn't seem like a good place to cook. However, as mentioned above, there is a microwave and an oven, and there is also a dishwasher, so you don't have to do the washing up, and there is a separate dining space, so I was able to spend my stay very comfortably.
There was flavored water and an espresso machine in the lobby, which I was able to drink freely. Both were very delicious, and the lobby was small but classical and luxurious, and I was very relaxed.
I asked for a round trip airport transfer, and it was a Mercedes van, which was very comfortable and great.
I stayed for 6 nights, but Vienna in August was much hotter than I expected, so I did some sightseeing early in the morning, returned to the hotel during the day, and then went out to listen to music in the evening when it had cooled down a bit. I was able to stay very comfortably at this hotel, which is very close to the center of town and convenient for public transportation.
Considering the location, I felt it was quite reasonable. If I go to Vienna again, I would definitely like to stay here again.
