Rioca Vienna Posto 2
Clean and spacious room, location was convenient to the airport, around a 5 min walk to the tram or 8 mins walk to the train station. What could be improved: one of the bath towels was dirty, while there was an induction stove, there were no pots provided to cook. Only cups, plats and utensils.

Vienna Marriott Hotel
It was a fine stay - great location; the physical property is very nice, serviceable. I think I caught a weekend when the price was elevated (marathon). So the expense (~$500 euro / night) made it an unfavorable relative to the room quality
