Guest Reviews
- Elias Benjamin (4/5): - The hotel is simple but overall good. The problem was that in the middle of the day I was called because apparently there was a leak from my room to the floor downstairs. When I arrived back at the hotel hours after they still haven't resolved the issue and claimed to not have other rooms, so I had to go look for another hotel after a long day of meetings. I asked for them to at least get me somewhere to take a shower and they claimed not to have any options for me.
- Carey (8/5): Warm nights near train station - Hotel was in great location. Near train station. Didnt realize no AC and it was very warm. They did supply a fan and its fine if only one person in room. Windows had to stay open but bus stop and bar downstairs made early night too noisy. Checkin only till 5pm so had to be done electronically via a machine. Difficult for a less techy visitor. Still a good stay. Nice rooms.
- Leah (4/5): - I loved the view from the bedroom and overall the room was comfortable. The bathroom was tight and a bit small but we made it work. My main issue is with the reception. The guy at the welcome desk was extremely unwelcoming and unkind. I asked about parking when I overheard him tell another guest it was free. I asked where exactly we were allowed to park for free so I made sure I followed any rules. He looked at me like I was stupid, rolled his eyes and said my question made no sense. Then he said yes, you can park on the street by the hotel for free. So we did what he said we could and found a nice ticket the morning of our departure. Only because of him I will never stay at this location again. He was horrible at his job and very unprofessional.
- Davidson (8/5): Boa estadia - Boa localização e quarto muito confortável.
- William (8/5): - Close to public transportation
- Emma (8/5): - Really enjoyed my stay, I'd emailed to say I'd be there before check in and they said I could possibly check in early or there was a luggage store. When I arrived my room wasn't available which was to be expected but then there seemed to be a problem as lots of phone calls and the word overbooking was used. Was all resolved (sorry if you were the booking that got moved). Room was lovely, just incredibly warm. Brilliant location, as close enough to the centre but not overwhelmingly so. Public transport is the dream in Vienna. Would absolutely stay here again
- Maeshima (6/5): - Although this happens often in Germany, the entrance is closed, if you arrive after 19:00. They offer a key in the locker, but you need to call them to get the number to open it. It would be nicer, when they leave a notice beforehand thru email.
- Giuseppe (6/5): - Più che un hotel è un affittacamere. Hanno preso camere in un bel palazzo antico ed elegante e l'hanno trasformate in camere di hotel. La camera era molto grande incluso il bagno, ma un hotel non può avere la reception aperta con personale in presenza solo dalle 10 alle 19. Il secondo e il terzo giorno hanno pulito la camera ma non hanno cambiato i teli nonostante il secondo giorno l'avevo richiesti. Molto disponibile e gentile Maria la ragazza russa alla reception
- Shane (8/5): - Excellent location & easy to get to everywhere we needed. Staff were polite & the room was basic but very clean.
- Volkmar (6/5): - Nach erster Nacht wurde das Zimmer nicht hemacht
- Apexa (10/5): - It was close to city hall and other Christmas markets
- Christine (10/5): - Loved the chandelier in my room! Great view of the Votive Church - which is beautiful at night. Floodlit. Few too many stairs for this old lady - but there is a lift eventually. Handy having access to a jug for a cuppa.
- Sefik (8/5): - Otel koum olarak güzel bir yerde ancak oldukça eski ve içerdeki merdivenler ve banyo kapısı gıcırtılı. Hafif uykusu olanlar içğn sorun olabilir
- Rene (4/5): Disaster in Vienna - I had prepaid the first nite at $ 109 and was informed this was only the price for the first nite, the second and third nite would be $ 140 and $ 139 respectively. When you come, you have to carry your suitcase up 2 flites of stairs, then take an elevator up another flight to the reception and the carry your suitcase up another floor to your tiny, tiny room. The shower is great but the entry to the shower is so small that an slightly overweight person cannot access the shower.
- Dave (10/5): - No issues at all, very smooth and comfortable!
- Petya (4/5): - Zimmer klein, aber sauber, riecht allerdings fürchterlich nach Zigarettenrauch, obwohl das wohl ein Nichtraucher-Zimmer ist. Fenster direkt oberhalb einer sehr befahrenen Straße schlechte bis keine Isolierung der Fenster-> durchgehend lauter sehr störender Lärm.
- Moritz (4/5): - The room category I booked on hotels.com does not exist (Standard individual), I just got a single bed instead of a double bed. The pictures were also wrong. I didnt get an invoice, even tho I asked for it a day before booking. The room didnt have air condition. Price/Value-ratio really bad. Personnel trying to be helpful though, not their fault.
- Kieran Thomas (10/5): - .
- Farid (2/5): - Very old with no amenities
- Virginia (8/5): - Bon accueil.
- MAKOTO (10/5): - 交通の便がよく、広さもある。次も利用したい
- ARTURO (10/5): - Excelente ubicación. Edificio antiguo pero en buenas condiciones. El check in muy ágil y buena atención. Muy recomendado
- Nishioka (10/5): - 市内へのアクセスがとても良く、スタッフもとても親切でした。部屋の中も綺麗で、快適に過ごすことができました。
- Jessica (10/5): - The hotel was in a perfect location for a weekend exploring Vienna. Our flight was delayed and hotel staff were great at communicating with us regarding late check in. The hotel was right by Votivkirche and the surrounding area had great restaurants and bars. It was also close to a big tram and train station/stop, although you could also walk into the very heart of the city within 15/20 mins. The hotel was quiet and the room was good for the weekend. The staff were helpful when needed - they were there between 07.00-19.00 and could be contacted via Whatsapp out of hours. The only issue we faced was that our shower was either really cold or scolding hot and could only get a decent temperature for about 60 seconds at a time. Would highly recommend this hotel to people looking for weekend breaks in the city.
- Joachim (10/5): Super Lage in stilvollem Zimmer - Sehr gut gelegen: der Ring ist nur 100m entfernt - ebenso U-Bahn und Straßenbahn. Alt(ehrwürdig) aber gepflegt. Sehr freundlicher, kompetenter und motivierter Receptionist. Ein Kühlschrank ist vorhanden. Parken preiswert in der Liechtensteinstraße 4 (300m) für 10 Euro anstelle von der Votif-Tiefgarage (25 €, wenn man Vouchers im Hotel kauft). Gewöhnungsnedürftig sind die Stufen rauf zum Bad/WC; ist halt dem Alter der Anlage geschuldet.
- Florentin (8/5): - (+) Das Hotel ist relativ zentral gelegen, zu Fuss kommt man schnell zu verschiedenen schönen Orten, das Zimmer war für den Preis gross, unser Zimmer hatte ein Balkon mit Blick auf die Strasse, jedoch hat sehr wahrscheinlich kein anderes Zimmer einen solchen Balkon, kleine Take-Aways sehr nahe. (-) Leider wird kein Frühstück angeboten, das Zimmer war nicht besonders sauber, der Fön war noch voller Haare, Staub und Spinnennetze waren vorhanden, die Dusche stank etwas, in der Nacht ist es oft laut wegen der Strassenbahn.
- Felicity (10/5): Great room, good location. - It’s a pension hotel, one flight of stairs leading up to the lift (around 12 stairs). Very convenient - tram stop about 30m which leads to metro, which is only about 3 mins walk anyway. Excellent room with a double bed and sofa bed.
- Duygu (10/5): - Super gemütliches Hotel, Preis Leistung top. Einziger Nachteil: Aufzug erst im 1. Stock im Gebäude. Im Hotel kein Aufzug, aber die Mitarbeiter haben uns geholfen.
- Claudius (10/5): - Zwei Etagen in einem alten Wiener Haus sind das Hotel. Die Einrichtung ist plüschig gediegen, aber gemütlich. Das Personal ist nett und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer lag zur Hauptstrasse, daher bei geöffneten Fenstern etwas laut (Straßenbahn, Pub gegenüber). Wenn man nicht gerade Luxus erwartet, ist es eine absolute Empfehlung, da recht zentral gelegen.
- daniela (8/5): - La cama era dividida esto hace q sea muy incomodo para dormir en pareja
- Rune (10/5): - .
- renzo (6/5): hotel da 2 stelle - c'è di meglio.....posizione vicino al centro...ma personale non parla italiano....non disponibile a capire di cosa hai bisogno!
- Brian (4/5): - My bed was on rollers and was one of the worst beds I’ve ever slept in. My back is killing me.
- Darren (2/5): - The property had no air conditioning. I had Expedia call and ask if the property had AC and was told by an agent that they called the hotel and confirmed both rooms I reserved had AC. I got there and no AC. The staff at check in indicated there is nobody there from 7pm to 9am. What kind of hotel is this? Gave me key to open the front door of the building down at street level. Room was incredibly small. Could barely move in there. They say the property was updated and if it was, I'd hate to see it previously. I didn't even stay at the hotel. Even though I prepaid, I went to a different hotel, costing me another 500$ unexpectedly. DO NOT BOOK AT THIS HOTEL. I WOULD NOT EVEN BOOK A ROOM AND GIVE IT TO A HOMELESS GUY FOR A NIGHT IT IS SO BAD.
- Emi (10/5): - Great location and very clean rooms! Only a few minute walk from subway station, streetcar stop, cafes and restaurants, grocery store. It’s an easy walk from Christmas market as well. I arrived early but they made my room ready before the official check in time- I was able to rest before going out to explore the city. I’m very thankful they accommodated me.
- Petronella (6/5): - Prima voor de prijs
- JING ZHAO (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff l! Great location!
- Magnus (10/5): Vienna trip - Great location; close to all modes of transport. Walking distance to museums, cafes, restaurants and shops. Excellent service and room condition. Would recommend!
- Lokkei (8/5): Good if you just require the necessities - Good for the basic necessities of bed and bathroom. Was quite warm in the room without AC, but had a fan provided.
- Dante (10/5): - Excellent location, close to some Vienna attractions as Freud Museum.
- Dario (10/5): - Soggiorno meraviglioso, nulla di negativo da segnalare!
- Josef (8/5): - Super Preis-Leistung, Sauberkeit könnte noch verbessert weden, leider waren noch Haare von den Vormietern in Bad und Zimmer - im Gesamten hat es gut gepasst
- Nicla (8/5): - Hotel molto carino,posizione buona e personale cordiale ❤️
- Fey (10/5): - Die Unterkunft ist sehr gut gelegen und bietet alles für einen Kurztrip nach Wien.
- Robyn (8/5): - Room was very nice and modern. Beds were comfy apart from the fact that the two twin beds used to make the double kept sliding apart. Everything was quiet and clean. Hotel was a bit confusing to find as it’s described as being on the first floor of the building but is actually on about the 4th floor. It was in a perfect spot for us, walking distance to the main sites. Would stay here again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - De kamers waren heel erg schoon, netjes en ruim. Het hotel is stijlvol en verzorgd. Vlakbij metro, tram en bus. Maar alles is prima te wandelen, als je van wandelen houdt.
- Mihai Mircea (10/5): Very nice experience - It was a very pleasant experience for us. Very friendly hotel staff, very advantageous position of the hotel, for those who want to see the central area with minimal effort. The room was very clean, as described, and the services offered are very good. Parking very close to the hotel 200 m. I return with pleasure anytime.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean, simple, fantastic location.
- Inga (10/5): perfect stay - Everything was just perfect,- location, room, bed and etc....
- Judie (6/5): Beautiful Staircase! - The hotel is in a good location. The tram stop is just down the street, but it’s easier to walk to the old town city center, even though it’s a bit of a walk. The hotel is located on part of an upper floor of an apartment building. You walk up about half a flight of stairs, then you can take the elevator up. You need a key to enter the hotel (if the front desk is closed, it is not open 24 hours). There are some rooms on this floor, and more rooms upstairs, where you’ll need to climb the beautiful staircase. My room was small, but efficient. Nice remodeled bathroom. Pretty decor in the bedroom.
- Ronald (10/5): - It reached our expectatives eventhough we just needed a place to crash the night.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - No Elevator Small size room The voice in the room Number of steps to the room
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Convenient location, Clean, friendly helpful staff. it of misunderstanding about breakfast, thought it was free - wrong. Down side - worst Wi-Fi I've run across in 15 years even worse than Princess. Gave up after a day of trying.
- Yaqoob (8/5): - Decent location, good room and helpful staff!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - As others have said, the great advantage of this hotel is its central location, within walking distance of the main city centre sites. We booked 4 rooms which were of varying sizes and facilities. They were basic but all were clean, had good bathrooms and comfortable beds. The breakfast room has no windows and is rather gloomy but looked like good value.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Bedding was very old, uncomfortable and the pillows were lumpy pillows. Extremely noisy staff early in the morning preparing the breakfast areas showing no consideration for guests in their rooms. I would not stay here again!
- AVIV (10/5): Comfort and locative - We had fun, in our stay and our trip. Very welcoming hotel, in nice location
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great value for money - Stayed here for two nights (room only) and found everthing to be good for the price you pay. The hotel is within a few minutes walk of the city centre and 5 minutes from the metro, so is easy to get to from the airport. Good Wi-fi in the room too. Would definitely stay her again.
- Andrea (10/5): Good location. - It's a great location to the hot spots, but the reception is closed at 7pm. Those who will do late check-in after 7pm is required to make special arrangement with the hotel in advance. The main door of the entrance building will be locked after 7pm, including the hotel main door too. Overall is Good.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - No air conditioning but the have fans so it's ok. Very good location walking distance to everything. Important to know they only have front desk staff from 8 to 7pm . So late check in will be a problem you have to make arrangement with them ahead of time
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It’s a pretty old building, but that’s what made it unique! The rooms are beautiful and the hotel is in a great location.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location and price, but no air conditioner in the room. Got pretty hot in the middle of July, but opening the window in the evening helped a lot
- Jen (10/5): Great location - The hotel was very nice. We were able to check in a little early and get settled. There is no air conditioning so the room did get rather warm. Fans were provided but didn't help much. The room was beautiful and very clean. The location was close to the metro and it was easy to get around the city. The staff was very helpful and let us keep our luggage there even after checkout so we didn't have to carry it around the city. We had a very pleasant experience.
- Grete (8/5): Would stay again. - The location is terrific. 20-30 minute walk from museums, restaurants, etc. Underground station 5 minute walk. The room was very comfortable and clean. Did not take breakfast as we wanted go experience Viennese coffee houses.
- Verified traveler (10/5): STAFF THAT GENUINELY CARE - 4 weeks in Europe. 7 countries this far. Best accommodation staff encountered.
- Gevorg (10/5): - Very nice place, convenient, excellent location in the heart of the city, just on the Schottentor.
- David (8/5): - Only problem that we had it was our arriving time was about 8-9 pm. In this time reception and hotel's door was closed. And if accidently visit of one of guests that help us to open the door and contact with reception. We didn't pay attention on the advice inform the reception earlier if your arrived time is after 8 pm!!! Commonly the hotel is very good in all aspects !
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good location - Walking distance to downtown, metro just 100 m. Old building but nice rooms. No restaurant. Rooms are not sound proof, we could hear the TV coming from the other rooms and people talking. Bathroom is good Clean.
- john (8/5): Nice hotel - Comfortable hotel with good location to explore Vienna.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very good location. If you arrive after 7pm you have to call the reception to check you in. Despite my emailing them well in advance that I will be arriving late. My mobile was powered off, so had to ask a stranger for help. Another issue I wish to bring to notice is that on the booking websites they show no pictures of single room which could help a person to get an idea if the single room is suitable or not. So when I first saw the single room I was dissapointed. Apart from this, great staff service, Clean and comfortable.
- Leigh (10/5): Perfect location for Christmas markets. - Stayed for three nights, hotel staff couldn't have been more helpful - kettle, extra pillow - nothing was too much trouble. The room was quite small but cosy and very comfortable. Bathroom very clean and lovely powerful, hot shower. Within walking distance of all the Christmas markets but easy to get to the tram if you prefer. The hotel reception is on the third floor of the building, the lift doesn't go right to the ground floor so not accessible for guests with walking difficulties. Fantastic stay, would definitely return.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Location location location - Clean, wonderfully located and superconvenient. Visit again soon!
- Ozlem (8/5): Nice hotel with great location and atmosphere - Hotel make me to feel like i am living in an antique house in vienna. Hotel staff is very kindly and helpful
- Verified traveler (2/5): Images of rooms are not the same rooms - The images shown on expedia for the Standard Single Room are of a different room. The room is about half the size of the image and the bed is half as big as the photos show. The photos also show a bathtub and the description of the room says there is an option for a bathtub. I requested a bathtub it was the reason I selected this hotel. I also emailed the hotel a week before about the bathtub request. I never got a reply. When i arriving at the hotel I and asked about the bathtub I was told that none of the Standard Single Rooms had bathtubs. After seeing my room and seeing that it was a different room and asked reception about this and was told expeida put up the same images for every room (not true different room had different images) it could be true that Expeida put the wrong image up and the wrong description of the room stating it had a bathtub. Reception didn't care about any of this or try to fix it, all they did was say everything was Expeida fault and were very unapologetic for everything. After 45 minutes on the phone with expidea that gave me a voucher for saving on a future booking. So they made it right, but I would never say at this place again.
- Univ. Visitor (8/5): Sweet hotel close to the university - I had a great experience there. The hotel staff wonderful! I would stay there again. I initially picked it for the price, but the location, comfort level, access to transportation and important sites makes the Hotel Pension Baron am Schottentor a true find.
- Lisa (10/5): Great stay! - Excellent! Spacious room, excellent view! Great location. Friendly staff. The only thing that would have made it perfect would have been if they added breakfast free or at a reasonable charge. It wasn't elaborate and the $10 euro pp was pricey. Overall though we would for sure stay again!
- Igor (10/5): Very nice hotel - No complaints. Better stay than I expected for the price. Easy access to everything. Hotel staff was EXTREMELY helpful. The check in and check out was fast and the front desk assistant (Svetlana) was very nice. Also room is very clean and the bed is comfy. Overall, I am very satisfied with the accommodations. I would definitely recommend it to other travelers. Thank you
- Verified traveler (8/5): quirky hotel, great neighbourhood - everything I needed - perfect for a pleasure trip, would come back.
- Melanie (10/5): Amazing View - We stayed for two nights and only required the room in the evenings. Beautiful view, very very clean and comfortable.
- Deborah (8/5): Vienna is an amazing city - Staff helpful cleaning of bathroom dealt with when requested good location however night time noise from street below quite loud.None of this detracted from a very enjoyable visit to Vienna
- AlohaGuy (8/5): Excellent Staff - The best thing about this property is the staff. They were wonderful. They helped us get settled, helped up plan our sightseeing activities, and helped use get to the airport. In fact, the woman at the front desk personally helped us get a cab and waited with us outside the front door until we had a cab. Then she made sure that the cabbie agreed to a reasonable price. The physical property is not a 4-star level but it is comfortable and clean, and the room was quite large. The location is very convenient, and the price represents real value.
- DSPanon (8/5): Great Family Trip - The staff at this Pension were simply fantastic. Pleasant and quick to take care of our needs. Filled with information and excellent advice to enhance our visit to Vienna.
- Richard (10/5): Excellent location - Six nights at a University of Vienna conference, very convenient to all city attractions and transportation hub. Ask for a room overlooking the city, not on the air-shaft. Only quibble: must climb 5-6 stairs to get to the elevator to hotel and no elevator between 1st and second floors. Otherwise an excellent well-priced choice.
- Stefan (8/5): Small room but worth it! - When first arriving, I was surprised at how small the room was! But then I realised I was in Vienna to see Vienna, not spend it in a hotel room. I was impressed with how clean the room was. The bathroom was small, but served its function. AC would have been nice, but the fan provided was enough to keep me cool. Although I had a room on the main street, the windows blocked out all of the noise. Breakfast was the standard European fare of bread, meats, cheeses, some fruit cup style fruit and yogurt. Fresh fruit would have been nice, but otherwise it was good. It's also a short 5 minute walk from the metro station. This hotel was a pleasant surprise given the location to the city centre, cleanliness and cost. I would definitely stay here again.
- Alexandra (10/5): Great hotel - This hotel was really great and the staff was friendly, helpful and spoke very good English. The room was lovely everything functioned and I had a great view. I would stay there again.
- Pat (6/5): Okay stay overall - Metro system so simple and cheap location of hotel is not a big issue in Vienna. However this hotel is located such that a good walker can get most places on foot. My room was 3 floors up with no lift. Could be an issue for some. Reception was empty early in morning and not so late in evening. You had a key to let yourself in building and into the hotel which occupied only part of the building. Blackout curtains covered only half of big windows in room which meant very bright early in morning and late afternoon. Room was large and bed very comfortable. Good bathrrom. TV had no English channels despite saying satellite channels. Traffic noise almost non existent with windows shut at this time of year. Not sure in summer with no a/c. Overall though content with stay but next time would explore other options at the price.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Almost the best - The stay was fantastic but the room didn't have a view and the bathroom curtain was just small enough that water got EVERYWHERE. Other than that, we were very pleased. Walking up to the hotel entrance was bulky with our luggage, but there is an elevator up one flight.
- GEORGIOS (10/5): Excellent choice for a trip to Vienna - Excellent location, just 10' from the Stephensplatz, beautiful, very clean and quiet
- Kristina (8/5): Nice, comfortable stay in Vienna - The staff was very friendly. We rode the public transportation to the stop, so we had to walk a little bit to the hotel, but we found it easily. We decided to stay a second night and the hotel staff was able to upgrade us to an even nicer room.
- Levon (8/5): Good hotel to stay at a fair price - The room was big and comfortable.An entrance door had a slightly slamming issues due to an air flow from the corridor, but it didn't cause a major disturbance. Hotel is located in a good place , not far from the center.It was really quite and warm . If you are looking for a good place to stay and not very expensive i'd recommend this hotel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Guttttt - Very good hotel and located in a good area
- Love to travel (10/5): Walk to major sites - The location is perfect, in walking distance of the major sites. The rooms are small but comfortable. There are a number of restaurants close by offering a wide variety of food. This hotel is a good choice for those fit enough to get their luggage up a dozen stairs.
- Univ.Prof. (10/5): Excellent location, perfect room. - This was an excellent stay, very warm and helpful reception.the hotel is near to all atractions and the under ground metro station is only two minutes walking. I recommend this hotel to every one who would like to enjoy Vienna with a very fair accomodation cost.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - We were greeted by a very friendly man who worked at the front desk. He was extremely nice, funny, and helpful. He provided wonderful recommendations about places to check out and restaurants to visit. The hotel was in fine shape and our room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The location was walking distance to the subway, which can take you around the entire city. The hotel is a bit further away from the historical buildings, but still very walkable (15-20 mins). My only complaint is that it was a bit difficult to find for the first time since the sign for the hotel was not terribly easy to see from the busy street. This was one of the best hotels we visited on our 2 week travel in Europe. I highly recommend!
- Salomé (10/5): Nice hotel in Vienna - The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and wi-fi worked perfectly. The location is really good. The only little problem was the room and bed a bit small but it did not cause any problem. I will stay again at this hotel if I come to Vienna again
- Verified traveler (8/5): close to must see sights - like it
- Culturaltourist (10/5): Excellent: comfortable, convenient, well-staffed - Excellent all round: within a short walk of the historic core, a few minutes from a transport hub (metro, bus, tram), clean, well-appointed (deep firm mattress, crisp white linen, modern bathroom with efficient shower, clothes closet with a few hangers but many shelves, full-length mirror, desk and chair, television, small safe, reliable free wi-fi), friendly staff. A few restaurants in the immediate vicinity, many more amenities nearer and within the metro station (bakeries, fast food, convenience stores, cash points). Bear in mind: this is a European pension, not an American midwestern motel = the rooms are a decent size and very comfortable for the price and location. Good to know: the nearest metro station is Schottentor on U-Bahn line U2; the exit marked 'Universität' (at the rear of the northbound train) leads to an exit at street level directly onto Währinger Straße, after which the pension is straight ahead, on the same side of the street as the metro exit. The inconspicuous street entrance is shared with various offices, (at time of writing) next to a cinema and a shop called Frog. There is a lift to the pension entrance on the first floor, but a few stairs between that and the street door. Also, this is Hotel Pension Baron am Schottentor, not to be confused with Pension Schottentor in Hörlgasse, very nearby.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great location - Perfectly located near city centre, very friendly staff, rooms were clean, bathroom was a bit shabby
- Verified traveler (8/5): good location and excellent location - the hotel staff were both friendly and most hepful. the hotel was 10-15 minutes walk from the city centre and easy access to the metro. we had an excellent stay. just one comment, the bathroom was not cleaned as thoroughly as it should have been, in particular the toilet. having said this, it did not detract from our stay
- Paul muldowney (8/5): Nice - Beds very small. Tv didn't work. Very nice hotel thou
