I appreciated the spaciousness of the room. The large tub easily accommodated a long soak. The closet offered ample space for storing clothes and luggage. The WiFi speed equaled what I have at home.
The bathroom shower was small with visible mold in the grout. It negatively affected the overall experience.

I selected this location because it was near the opera house. Several S-bahn stops were also close. I could visit many neighbourhoods. The front desk staff helped with directions, which I found very useful. The breakfast team arranged a piece of the famous Imperial torte for me, SUCH a treat!
the hot water took maybe seven minutes to warm up!
