Austria Trend Hotel Ananas
The hotel and staff is very good. Very clean hotel. Metro station just steps from the hotel. Breakfast is ok. Not much variety. At the moment the only con is the construction going on just beside it.

The room was very clean and spacious. The staff was nice and helpful. I also like that we could refill bottles (hotel provided) with refreshing water. Very nice gesture for tourists like us! More importantly, the location is very convenient for traveling around the city.
