Tolles Hotel in Stadtnähe mit Flair
Pros:

Die Zimmer sind modern gestaltet, groß genug, das Bad ist sehr schön und groß. Sehr positiv die Einrichtungen der Sonnen und Yogaterrasse und des gratis Kaffee-, Tee und Wasserpoints im 5. Stock. Parkgarage wenn man einen Platz bekommt, sehr günstig für Wien.

Cons:

Kleiner Minuspunkt, weil es keinen Vergrößerungsspiegel zusätzlich gab und wenn man duscht ,das ganze Bad nass ist, weil es keine abgetrennte Duschtasse gibt.

Would happily stay again
Pros:

The staff was amazing - especially Maria and Nara - two other members whose name I cannot recall but were also fabulous and so attentive friendly and welcoming. They made our stay so memorable. Thank you for everything

Cons:

The shower water kind of spilled over outside the door - no perfect but not a deal breaker

Pros:

Top Hotel in zentraler Lage. Ich hab mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Zimmerausstattung top, Bett sehr bequem! Frühstück war vielseitig und köstlich.

Cons:

Einziges Manko: Leider war im anliegenden Saal während des Aufenthalts eine Veranstaltung, was das Schlafen trotz Ohrstöpsel unmöglich gemacht hat.

Great hotel in a quiet area of Vienna.
Pros:

Lovely hotel, rooms spacious and well furnished - very comfortable. Loved the reception/bar area. We really enjoyed the fact the hotel was within walking distance of the centre of the city and also close to great public transport connections.

Cons:

No fridge to put food or drinks.

Pros:

The staff was friendly and tried to help at every opportunity. Overall, the hotel is fine, has an interesting concept, is well located, and for the price they're asking, it's a decent option. But there's one caveat.

Cons:

Very noisy. There is a club in the next building that was open until 2am. I could feel the music even while wearing earplugs because my bed was vibrating.

At first, they provided me with an unclean room, but they fixed it very quickly by giving me a new room with an upgrade in class.

Overall, I have mixed feelings about this hotel.
