Loved by Hotel Kaerntnerhof guests
"On the top floor there is a small "library" with a computer and a small terrace overlooking the neighbour rooftops."
"One of the major perks was their awesome, plentiful, breakfast with hard working, highly attentive breakfast supervisor and team."
"Excellent, central location with walking distance to all the attractions (at least for a young, active person like myself)."

the lack of a refrigerator in the room was a real inconvenience, especially during warmer days i wished to keep my drinks cold. also, the noise from the street (it seemed to never quiet down) disrupted my sleep a few times, definitely not ideal after long days of exploring. a bit more soundproofing would definitely improve the experience.
