Let’s get one item out of the way: the hotel describes itself as four-star. This may have been the case when it was built in 1895, but it doesn’t reflect the modern meaning of the term. On the other hand, not many hotels offered free Wi-fi in 1895... This is an old building, with the remains of the original lift still occupying the center of its spiral staircase, but it has been upgraded to a level which is perfectly acceptable in the 21st century (including a new lift). Our room was relatively small, but had a high ceiling This gives an air of spaciousness, but the modern, LED lighting makes it look dingy. Better to spend your evenings in one of the many local cafes. There is a rather nice lounge, with wood paneling, and the breakfast room has a genteel, faded feel about it, which is enhanced by the Viennese background music and the stained glass windows overlooking Währinger Straße. Breakfast was not included in our room rate, but it was reasonably priced, and was the typical cold cuts/brötchen German breakfast, plus the option of scrambled eggs, baked beans and Wienerwurst. Unlimited coffee. Nothing special, but filling. They have free Wifi. We chose this hotel because it was a relatively short walking distance from the Volksoper and the center of town - about fifteen minutes each way. We wanted to avoid public transport during the pandemic. It's right on a tram route, if you want to save a bit of time. Currently, you need an FFP2 mask on the tram. And yes, the hotel checked our vaccination status. US vaccination card plus US driver's license was acceptable. Good place to stay, if you want to save a bit of money by avoiding the center of Vienna.
