"The location is very good. For the price I payed, I was really surprised with the quality of the room and the hotel itself. While it is not in the city center (30 min metro ride), it is a 15 min walk from the Shonbruun castle which is probably the number 1 thing to see while in Vienna!"…""The location is very good.

Exceptionally quiet due to coronavirus and all museums shut but the architecture and the atmosphere more than compensated for the closures.

Vienna is much quieter than London, Paris and New York. At first I found this a bit alarming, but once I got used to it I realised it’s normal for Vienna at this time of year.
Go if you are a fan of classical music, modernist art and good food
