Nice, spacious room. Very nice and helpful staff.
Downsides that it did not have a mini fridge, there were a really bad smell of sewer in the bathroom, and there were lots of noises from the neighbour rooms

It was a great little hotel. Great location right near the river. Great access to public transportation. The breakfast could use an upgrade, but overall fine. Room decor was lovely, every room was different. Mine appealed to my taste and the room was quite spacious.

A slightly wacky hotel but does the job. The room was small but I only used it for a few hours at night to sleep and shower. Was relatively quiet.

We were happy with the hotel. Good walking distances, clean hotel. The breakfast was OK. No air condition in the room, so it got quite warm, we did have a small fan though. The Wi-Fi was not so good.

Fantastic rooms. Hysterically interesting! Breakfast/coffee in the morning was fantastic. This was the best deal on a hotel for a couple nights in Vienna compared to literally anywhere I've ever been, BY FAR.

This is an odd hotel. It has unique vintage decorations. It doesn’t have a bar. Doesn’t offer laundry service. Location is excellent. Rooms are large. Bathroom nice.

Situated by the canal, 10 mins from ferry terminal and 15 mins drive from airport. Slightly outside of the central area but easily reached by Uber or walking. Hotel was clean and staff were really helpful. Hotel could do with some updating. Breakfast could have had more options but was very adequate for the cost. Met standards of 3 star. Tea and coffee and fridge in room would add value.

Very charming unique older feeling hotel. It is mostly updated with normal hotel amenities, but it has an old feeling to everything. Staff is friendly and everything is clean. Shower is small but the water is always hot. The outside noise can get through windows but the area is mostly quiet. I would stay again just for the unique charm

Location is good. About 10-15 minutes walking to old town. The place however is a bit creepy, odd decoration (shabby vintage and trying-to be quirky), but also a little dusty. Our room was number 6, which was spacious and (except for first night) quiet, but the cave like decor, especially the shower were creepy. Unfortunately the room also smelled a bit of sewage which improved later.
The female staff were all very nice and helpful, the older guys at night grumpy and not very helpful (“sort it yourself kind of attitude”).
Breakfast was good. But overall don’t think I will stay again.

Kitschy
Very kitch and personal hotel with uniquely decorated rooms. The floor of my room had been swept or vacuumed but not wet washed in a while so there was a few stains and residue on the floor. Otherwise very friendly and charming old man at the reception. Did not have the breakfast so do not know what that’s like. Close to everywhere I needed to go. Can recommend the thai restaurant just across the street from the hotel.

I booked this hotel for my mom. Overall, her stay was decent, but at checkout one of the receptionists tried to charge her extra despite us providing proof that the stay was already paid in full. She was also quite rude. With service like this, I doubt I’ll book this hotel again.
