The location couldn’t be better—just a 15-minute walk from the heart of Vienna, with a local market right outside the hotel offering delicious food and drinks. We stayed in the Playground Suite, which, despite being the smallest option, still felt spacious enough for two people. The bed was enormous, and so was the sofa—perfect for relaxing after a long day. There was a small free mini-bar stocked with Coca-Cola, beer, tonic water, and wine, which was refilled daily along with plenty of bottled water. But the highlight by far was breakfast: each morning, you pick your favorites—croissants, cold cuts, cheeses, fresh fruit, bacon, eggs, and more—and everything is delivered straight to your room. It’s served beautifully, with expertly prepared dishes that make dining in feel like a treat. The only downside? The TV is a bit outdated, and getting Apple TV to work was a bit of a hassle. But honestly, those are tiny flaws in an otherwise flawless stay. Everything else—from the service to the comfort—was top-notch. Highly recommend this gem!
