This hotel is an excellent value. We paid 50 Euros for a room that was clean, bright, and comfortable. Certainly not posh, but as we were only in Vienna for 2 days and were simply looking for a place to sleep, this fit the bill perfectly. The U (Gasometer stop) is only a 5 minute walk from the hotel, and several quick stops later you are at the Stephansplatz stop. No hairdryer, and be careful when you get out of the shower as the floor in front is extremely slippery. There is a TV, small desk, bed (I think queen-size) and a bunk bed for a third person (child). Small lavatory, shower, and separate room for the toilet. If you are looking for luxury, this is not the place, but for the price it can't be beat.

This is a great hotel for those on a budget. The rooms are a bit better than dorm rooms, sparse but comfortable. The tv had a remote control. There was plenty of hot water. There is no hair dryer though. Breakfast is available although I never had any when I was staying there. Even though this hotel is not downtown Vienna, it is only a few subway stops away from downtown. The subway is about a 10 minute walk away from the hotel. There is a gas station across the street that has soda, beer, candy, ect. for late night snacks. Getting to the hotel from the airport is fairly easy, I did it in the snow, late at night. The CAT train is easy to get to downtown from the airport. From there, take the U3 suway train going in the direction of Simmering. You want to get off at the Erdberg stop. Follow the signs to "Franzosengraben". If you come upon a huge office square, you have gone to far. The stairs next to the garage will take you to street level. Once on the street, you want to go in the direction AWAY from the highway overpass, very close to you, and TOWARDS the traffic light. The first street should be the Franzosengraben. You can only turn right on the street. You will see a large building with the name "Yokogama" on it. "Poker World" is also on this street. Walk a few blocks and you will see the gas station on the right and the hotel on the left side of the street. The hotel staff were pleasant. You can do laundry at a place near the Schlachthausgasse subway stop (right before Erdberg stop). Exit the station on Schlachthausgasse St. and head left. It is on a corner about 1 block down on the right side. 4 Euros to wash, and about 2 Euros to dry. Try the opera if you can. I had tickets that were only 10 Euro and it was GREAT. Subway is very easy to use as well as the trams. I purchased the Vienna Austria Pass and used it to ride the subway and trams as well as discounts to museums.

Couldn't fault this place. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel it probably isn't for you. If you are on a budget and looking for somewhere clean and comfortable with an excellent U-Bahn link to the city centre (less than 10 minutes on the very frequent trains), then look no further.

I stayed there for a couple of nights and would thoroughly recommend it - An ensuite room for 40 Euro, 48 if a couple are staying in the room. Outstanding value.

My husband and I traveled to Vienna and stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. We were on a budget and tried to find the least expensive places to stay while we were traveling in Europe. This was one of the cheapest hotels in Vienna that we could find. The room cost us about $50 USA per night in May--which for Vienna is a great deal! The rooms were clean, updated, and the staff was friendly. I would say that this hotel is comparable to a Hampton Inn or Best Western in the states. The hotel was not right in the center of town, but it was conveniently located by a metro stop--and it was only about 4 stops to reach the Stephansplatz stop in Vienna. Skip the breakfast that the serve there however--it costs about 8 Euros and it's not worth the money. I would definitely stay in this hotel again if I were to come to Vienna in the future.
