“The hotel stands out for its prime location, a brief walk to St. Stephen's Cathedral and with the Underground nearby, which makes getting around the city simple. I was particularly drawn to the fact that its smaller size allows for a more personalized level of attention, and it seems the staff truly aims to deliver that. It strikes me as a comfortable base for exploring Vienna's cultural heart.”
