a&o Wien Stadthalle

I stayed for 3 nights at 95 euros per night, and it definitely wasn't worth the money. First, I was given a room at the very end of the corridor, right opposite the staff office. It was such a hassle to get to from the check-in lobby. I had a 20kg suitcase, and I had to go down a flight of stairs, walk to the elevator, take the elevator up to the floor, then drag my suitcase a long distance to the very end of the hall. Once inside, the room was tiny, and the bathroom was less than 1 square meter – a 180cm man wouldn't even be able to shower properly. The sink was also broken. It was late, so I had to report it to the staff the next day. Then, when I wanted a drink of water, there wasn't even a single cup – isn't that a basic amenity? When I went to turn off the lights to sleep, I discovered the room didn't even have a door lock! Anyone with a key card could just walk in, which made me feel very unsafe. This is what I got for 286 euros for three nights, at 95 euros a night. I hope they weren't deliberately taking advantage of me as a foreigner.

The room is quite spacious, and the bathroom has a separate wet and dry area. The lobby downstairs is roomy, and it's close to the subway station, making transportation very convenient. It's only a 20-minute drive to the city center, and the front desk staff are very friendly.
