The simm hotel is in a good location right next to a train station and the 71 tram stops almost outside the hotel. You can buy a day ticket for€8 just inside the station which covers you for trains and trams for 24 Hours you can buy tickets to cover you for longer the ticket machines are easy to use. There are plenty of shops close by including Lidl which is opposite the hotel. Our hotel room was clean and comfortable there was a bath which was a good size as well There was a kettle and cups but to be honest if you want tea or coffee bring your own there is 1 fruit tea and 1 earl grey and 1 sachet of 3 in one coffee. There's also a mini fridge. The breakfast buffet was good but it does get busy so you may have to wait for a seat. The people in reception are polite and helpful. There are 8 Christmas markets to visit which are lovely but they all sell similar things.

Not motorcycle touring this trip, city short break. Excellent hotel near the centre of Vienna, just a short tram ride,stop right outside the hotel on the opposite side of the road, number 71. Arrived early, unfortunately the room was not quite ready, just a short wait. I think the young man who was signing us in was training,and needed a little help from his colleagues, but we all have to learn. Overall clean room and everything that you require included a bath which is always an added bonus as far as I am concerned. Our deal included breakfast which is a buffet style, plenty of choice with attentive staff who made sure that everything was plentiful. Advantage of late check out by 12.00 ,and luggage storage if you have a later departure. Small bar and coffee in the lobby with some seating which is useful if you are waiting for your transfer to the airport. All in all I would use this hotel again.

We stayed at the Simms Hotel as part of a Newmarket Holiday Short Break to Vienna which included a trip to see Andre Rieu. The hotel is next to the underground eight stops from the centre of the old town (15 minutes by taxi which costs 15-18 euros each way). The hotel is spotlessly clean, the rooms are well appointed, our room had an excellent walk in shower, breakfast is good and the bar, which is in the in the foyer stays open late. We found the hotel staff pleasant and helpful. We ate in a pub across the road which had good local food that was excellent value. There are shops close by including an excellent bakery and Lidl.
