![]() ![]() This is about the cost of one night in one mid range hotel room in Vienna, where accommodations are astronomically expensive. Two couples stayed in a two bedroom apartment for $200 euro a night. The main reason to stay at this hotel is you can't beat the price. Overall, good for families, couples not expecting grandeur, and students. Great for making meals in the apartment pension. If looking for groceries, there is a local store nearby on the main street called 'Billa'. The building is very quiet as is the neighborhood. They do not staff the desk 24 hours, but this did not seem to be a problem. They were very accommodating to our travel arrangements in having to leave early for our flight. We checked out before the posted time and spoke with the staff. The shower was tricky, but think of it like camping. There were two televisions in our room.The room was cleaned everyday and the staff spoke fluent English. The kitchenette was fully furnished and we made a meal on New Year's Eve. The room was clean, spacious-bigger than our studio apartment in the United States, and worked well for us since we were out in the city most of the time. It was good for our money and convenient to the U-bahn station (a quarter mile away). Overall the price was great, the accommodations where tolerable and ok, but we left wondering if we are more the full service hotel type.I booked this pension via. The hotel is not in any of the main tourist areas, but is only 10-15 away from them via the metro. Both of these connect you with Vienna's excellent metro system. There is a Tram stop (71 line) one block away at Molitor and Renweg. The “Billa” grocery store is 3 blocks away and next to the Zipperingstrasse Metro Station (U3 Line). There are several restaurants (not a lot) with in three blocks. We never got an extra pillow she thought we wanted an extra room :-) The area around the hotel is quiet and safe. The weekend gal spoke little English and we spoke little German. There were some communication issues with the staff. ![]() It was the basic euro style fare, cereals, breads, cheese, sliced meet, coffee, juice. We did not use the MW after trying it once (it started to buzz and smoke) We opted to take the breakfast option at 6 euros a person. It was basically equipped with a small: sink fridge stove and microwave. This was true if you put the two twin day beds together. The beds were hard as a rock, and were billed as queen sized. Two sinks, two mirrors, and large lovely garden tub for bathing. Which technically is true, but there is only one toilet which is in the smaller of the two bathrooms which also had a stand up shower stall (unusual for Europe). So you either were in your bedroom or in the kitchen area. The apartment was large, but there was no living room. Beware to the traveler with mobility issues the lift only goes to the fourth floor.
