Hotel Mate Dependance - Vienna, Austria     

we booked this through the LM website and chose this location as we were attending a conference at the Medical Centre nearby. It was advertised as a 3* hotel. What a joke. Shabby room, not airconditioned, dated bedding, soft mattresses, the 'double' being 2 singles pished together. The shower room/bathtub was tiny so you cannot stand under the shower. It is NOT a hotel, it is a low rate bed and breakfast, and a complete rip-off at ?60 a night. We checked out without staying there.

We have just returned from a five day stay at this Hotel. Very disappointed. Thought it very basic. No coffee making facilities, the weather was lovely but the rooms were very stuffy and with the windows open you couldn't sleep for the noise of the traffic. Single room was very small with small shower room. Twin room slightly better and although we had a large wardrobe (4 coat hangers each), there were no shelves or chest of drawers to put clothes in! Bathroom door was very dodgy - lock didn't work and almost got stuck in as it had a faulty handle. The best thing was the breakfasts - quite a variety on offer although the coffee was rather stewed by the time we got there. Did have an altercation with staff who tried to charge us for a new water urn as the knob came off in our hand whilst trying to fill a jug of water for tea! As we were three ladies on our own we think they were just trying it on but we stood our ground and didn't hear anymore about it (although it did put a dampner on things for the rest of the trip). Not many eating places in surrounding area so make sure you eat in the city centre and if you really want some excitement there is a Striptease Show and a Sex Shop just around the corner! Costs 12 euros to city centre and 40 euros to Airport from hotel. Buy a ticket for 13 euros and you can travel as much as you want on the tram, metro and buses for 3 days - well worth it but make sure you carry your ticket wherever you go.
