I stayed in a mini suite with a terrace on the top of the building, which was a great touch. The room came with a smart phone for local calls and GPS, but it didn't smell particularly fresh. It was clean and quiet with a small refrigerator and complimentary sparkling water.

The hotel had a fantastic location, right in the heart of the city center, making it easy to visit all the important places in Vienna. The rooms were on the small side, but they were clean and cozy despite the heat. The noise level, however, was a major issue as it sounded like a constant generator noise, making it difficult to sleep. The service was pleasant and helpful, although at times the staff seemed very busy. The dining options were good but overpriced for the quality offered. Overall, the location was superb, but the noise level in the rooms was a significant drawback.

My stay was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms, while not at the standard I expected for a 4-star hotel, were still comfortable and I appreciated being located in the 'Art Nouveau' section away from any noise. Unfortunately, there was no view of the fireworks, but that wasn't a major issue. The service was top-notch, with extremely kind and helpful staff who even offered sturdy umbrellas in case of rain. The location was a bit further from the historical center than anticipated, but it was in a pleasant neighborhood and still convenient to most attractions. The dining options were good with a good variety to choose from.

The hotel offers really spacious, clean, and tidy rooms with huge comfy beds and lots of space. However, the rooms were too hot and had bad ventilation, not up to the standard of other 4-star rooms in European cities I've stayed in. The service was excellent, with very friendly and professional staff eager to assist at any time. The location is a big plus, being at easy walking distance to most major sights and next to a Metro station. The dining experience was excellent with a wide variety of good quality food. The facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable.

I was pleasantly surprised by the warmly decorated and silent rooms with cozy furniture and excellent wifi. However, the interior walls of the apartment didn't have the same smell. The service was wonderful, especially Mony who was extremely friendly and helpful. The location was great, just a short walk from most sightseeing and shopping areas. The dining options were very limited despite informing the hotel about dietary requirements. Overall, the hotel provided a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although very small in the old wing, were surprisingly large, delightful, and quiet for the price paid. The service, especially from Anna, was helpful overall, but some issues with payment notifications took away from the experience. The location was decent, close to the city center but not exceptional considering the price. Dining, with a good variety and timing, was pleasant.
