  Best hotel I could have chosen for my first solo trip, and first time in Vienna! All of the staff are friendly and helpful, and the desk is open 24 hours. The room and bathroom were SO clean. The room size was completely adequate for one or two people. The bed and pillows are comfortable, and I liked looking out onto the street below from my window. The location is also unmatched. If you want to stay in the heart of the city (Innere Stadt) with high-end shops and near St. Stephen's Cathedral - and especially if you plan to take a train from the airport, then this is definitely the perfect spot. From the airport, you can take the ÖBB S7 (€5 ) or CAT (€15) to Wien Mitte Landstraße, then connect to the U3-Ottakring U-Bahn (subway) line. About a 30-minute commute. Then, once you arrive at the Stephansplatz stop via the U3, you will walk only 2-3 minutes to the hotel, which I loved! The hotel has a nice restaurant attached that is open late, and there are several other places to eat directly across the street. In terms of attractions, the hotel is around the corner from Stephansdom, as mentioned. The hotel is also only a 5-10 minute walk from sites such as Hofburg, Sisi Museum, Spanish Riding School, Albertina, and MuseumsQuartier - the last of which you should shortcut through Hofburg to arrive quickly. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone coming to Vienna!
