The hotel's location is excellent, surrounded by beautiful buildings and top attractions like St Stephen's Basilica and the River Danube. The rooms, though a bit small and outdated, were not well-aired and had a damp smell, making it uncomfortable during the night. However, the service was impressive, with attentive staff addressing concerns promptly. The dining experience was satisfactory, especially receiving a bottle of bubbly for my birthday; however, the basement restaurant could get crowded. Overall, a great location with some room for improvement in room conditions.

The hotel offers a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms are well-equipped and spotless but lack in quality compared to the high price. Despite some friendly and professional service, there are instances of inefficiency and issues with payment methods. The central location surrounded by beautiful buildings and monuments compensates for minor inconveniences.

I stayed in the new part of the hotel with a large comfortable room and effective air conditioning, although it felt a bit like a university canteen. The staff were excellent, helpful, and trustworthy, offering various services. The location was fantastic, surrounded by beautiful buildings and easy access to tourist attractions. The dining options were quite average, with limited selections. Overall, a good value for money stay.

The hotel offers clean rooms, but they are quite small for the price. The service is friendly and efficient, especially the waiter in the evening. The location is close to many attractions but may feel like a budget hotel. The dining experience is varied but the noise level can be bothersome at times.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, but unfortunately, the air conditioning was not working correctly. The staff members were friendly and knowledgeable, although some were rude and unhelpful. The location was perfect for exploring the city on foot, with many attractions nearby. The dining options were varied but somewhat understaffed. Overall, a decent stay with a few ups and downs.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was very central and strategic, making it easy to explore the city. The rooftop terrace bar had amazing views but I was disappointed that there was no English Breakfast Tea available. The staff were kind and addressed our concerns, but the room did not have the air conditioning as described on their website, which was a major letdown.
