Stayed 3 nights for the Christmas Markets. Great location near Rudolfplatz tram/underground stops and just across the road from Nikolausdorf market. Was really easy to get around the city from here. Room was spacious with all the usual amenities. Receptionists spoke excellent English (as my German is rubbish!) and were very helpful. Nice atmosphere in the lobby bar at night too. I’d stay here again.

The location is fantastic . I worked US hours and then went out every night at 11:00 pm to eat and drink with friends. It is across the street from the train and also a lot of bars and restaurants. The hotel is good but the WiFi is not great. I asked to be on a top floor and worked off my phone.
