The hotel offers spacious rooms with all necessary amenities and a lovely rain shower, though the lack of complete privacy in the shower might not be ideal for all. The view from the room could be better, but overall, it's a good value for the size and price.

The rooms are clean and spacious, with all the soap and shampoo you need available in large bottles. The rain shower is awesome, but keep in mind it may not provide complete privacy due to the unfrosted glass.

I really appreciated the galley kitchen idea for tea and coffee throughout the day. The service was helpful, friendly, and moving towards a paper-free system, which is great to see.

The location in the 3rd district of Vienna is reasonably good, within walking distance of the underground and close to transportation options. It may seem a bit out of the way, but it's actually quite convenient to reach various places.

I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with lots of light, perfect for those who like to do yoga or meditation. They were tastefully decorated in a modern style and included thoughtful extras like two types of shower gel, magazines, and quality towels. Being situated 5 floors above ground level, the rooms were pleasantly quiet. However, the dining experience was slightly lacking as I missed having at least some hot dishes like scrambled eggs.

I stayed at the hotel, and overall, it was a good experience. The rooms were a bit small for two people, but they did provide a tablet with useful information and a radio with nice music. The staff was helpful and friendly, but not very knowledgeable about the city. The location was convenient for transportation but required a short ride to the city center. The dining options were diverse and included lactose-free cappuccino. The facilities were satisfying with a uniquely decorated bar area.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were snug but spotless, equipped with a phone for Internet browsing or day trips, and the modern design added to the cleanliness. The service was top-notch with friendly and English-speaking staff who even accommodated a late checkout request. The location was perfect for transportation around the city, although it could get crowded at times. The dining experience offered some delicious options, especially the Bircher Muesli. Overall, a great value for money.

The hotel offered a nice modern and clean room, but might not be suitable for two persons due to limited storage. The service was friendly but lacked local knowledge and encountered some disturbances. The location was convenient for transportation but slightly outside the central area. Dining options were good but maybe overpriced. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.
