We had a completely trouble free and very pleasant stay here. The facilities, food, staff and decor were all amazing. I would recommend this to anyone when they are visiting Vienna. It is also about a 2 min walk from Belvedere which was a really good sight to take in straight away on arrival. Loved ...
