It was very hard to find a hotel in Vienna at the time we booked this hotel. So we took our chances and stayed here despite the low ratings. The staff were very friendly, however, the place is just very old and dated. Chipped paint, old furnishings. Yes, it is old but I felt they could have fixed some minor easy fixes such as a disconnected water hose laying on the front terrace and patio umbrellas blown down but not picked up, dead plants in pots, etc. You can see very little effort goes into any presentation of the facility. The rave reviews about the breakfast confused me a bit. I just didn't think it was very appealing or tasty. The night before we were thinking the breakfast was going to make up for the disappointing condition of the room. It was the usual-rolls, minimal choice of cold cuts, fried eggs, cereals, juice, and coffees Anyway, it sufficed for a night. Had the price not been so expensive and more appropriate, I might have felt a little bit better about staying here.
