I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room for 4 was spacious with a large balcony and a mix of vintage and new furnishings. However, it wasn't very soundproof, but the mini bookshelf was a nice touch. The location was excellent with views of the old Ferris wheel, right opposite the Prater park and amusement park. The dining experience was amazing with a variety of bio organic and vegan options, and the breakfast was a step above typical hotel offerings. Overall, a great value for money experience.
