Leonardo Hotel Vienna Hauptbahnhof
Hotel staff were very nice. We were on the top floor. Loved that the window fully opened to cool down the room. (Not safe for children though). Breakfast was lovely. Loved that it was right next to the train station. Perfect for being our stop between Budapest and Prague. All transportation is right ...
