The hotel is perfectly situated near the old city and transportation to everywhere in Vienna. The decor is a great representation of modern European design. The staff is great. Everything one needs on a kids-free urban vacation. Highly recommend . Unfortunately we cannot give the review a 5, since the air-conditioning system of the hotel was broken when we checked in, and while the staff were aware of that, we were not given a warning. The first night was horrible, and the second night was partly refunded and we got complimentary wine and a fan. We learned a lesson about European comfort level, at least with respect to A/C, and the need to check the room before settling in. We will give this hotel a second chance, and gladly give a full 5 review.
