Simple, quiet and well-appointed with a superb breakfast in a central location to innerstadt.

Location can't be beat. And breakfast was delicious. And the hotel was super generous to also offer breakfast gratis to my friend who was also visiting Vienna—when I enquired to pay for him and his company the morning of my stay. And the entire space is simple but wonderfully appointed and quiet.

What could be improved: Shower was a bit tricky. Sprayed out quickly so I had to use the bath mat to sop up the water. An extra shower mat might be nice for those just in case
