Experience of the stay
I booked this accommodation in Vienna at a reasonable price but with good access to tourist sites. It requires taking public transport (either subway or tram) from Vienna Central Station, but it's quieter compared to the city center. The tram stop is right in front of the hotel, making it convenient for getting around.
When I first arrived, the entrance facing the main street was blocked, and I was surprised, wondering if I had made a reservation mistake (as of May 2025), but looking closely, there was a sign directing me to the back entrance. I cautiously went around the back alley, and upon entering, it was bustling, unlike what I saw from the front, with a lot of international guests. It seemed they were temporarily refurbishing, so the front desk was rudimentary, but like a chain hotel, they managed the check-in process efficiently.
I was very pleased that my room faced the main street and I could see the church from my window. There was enough desk space to work by the window.
There were no amenities provided, but I could use a hairdryer. Both the room and bathroom were sufficiently clean, allowing me to relax and recover from my long journey from Japan.
Experiences during the trip
Since it's close to Schönbrunn Palace from the city center, it might be recommended to go to the palace first thing in the morning (as it takes about 40 minutes on foot, I used the tram). Morning strolls around the palace and its gardens are not crowded and feel very refreshing.
It's a bit far from the city center, so I decided not to walk around at night. In Vienna, there are many concerts and operas, so it's not completely empty at night. Since I was traveling alone, I was a bit cautious on the way back after the concert. I bought an unlimited public transport ticket, which was convenient for freely exploring the sights.
