This was our first time in Austria, and I am glad we stayed at this hotel. It was conveniently located and within walking distance of almost everything we wanted to see and do. The rooms provided us with everything we needed: a comfy bed, coffee/tea, A/C, and an updated bathroom, and the traditional Austrian buffet-style breakfast was delicious! I would definitely stay here again!
A lovely hotel just on the edge of a seriously crowded tourist district. I could safely walk the area or hop on a train. The breakfasts were outstanding and the staff very friendly and kind. This is a hotel run by local people and not a generic chain. The room was small but perfect for a solo traveler. I even had a little deck to get away from the craziness of the crowds. It was quiet, safe and very well maintained. If you want a loud, party hotel, this is not the place for you. I was extremely impressed and enjoyed my stay there immensely.
