Hotel Cristall address: Franzensbrückenstrasse 9, Vienna, 1020

Hotel Cristall details: Positioned in the heart of Vienna, just a short stroll from the historic hub and in close proximity to the conference centre, this hotel enjoys an excellent central location. It also boasts easy access to Praterstern which is situated just a stones throw away from the property.

Take a stroll to the Hauptallee, the main street of the famous viennese prater which has its starting point at the back of the property. Visit the Messe Wien, Vienna Fair Ground, which can be reached within 5 minutes by tram Number 21 or within 10 minutes walking distance.

All 55 rooms are traditionally and individually furnished and offer a range of modern comforts.





Vienna`s appearance is manifold from the historic city centre with its magnificent buildings from many different centuries, to the former villages outside the once-standing city ramparts, to the green hills of the Vienna Woods.

Very close to the city centre there is the Prater, an natural park that covers more than 5 square kilometers and was an imperial hunting ground until 1766.

Today the Prater has lakes from old tributaries of the Danube, meadows, grand boulevards lined with chestnut trees and the fun park with its merry-go-rounds and rollercoasters. However, the sights of Vienna are not the only reason for paying a visit.

A window-shopping stroll through the downtown pedestrian zone of the historic city centre, going to a musical or concert, or spending a cosy evening at the "Heuriger" (wine tasting taverne) - all these are only some examples for the many possibilities that Vienna offers to its visitors.

A TRADTIONAL HOTEL

Along the streets leading to the Prater there once were inns where the coachmen could take a rest with their horses. A modern hotel business has emerged from such inns with its old arched vaults intact.

There is a limited number of parking places at the hotel and upon availability.

The description on the site seemed nice but the reality was terribly diffrent. Hotel Cristall doesn't deserve it's three stars, and it needs immediate renovation. For starting, the first impression is that you go back in time, in the 80's. The entrance in the hotel is dusty and dirty and the reception hall (even if the receptionists are kind) looks unclean and unfriendly. Although the bed linen and the towels were very clean, they seemed to be old and used. The room had a TV with a damaged screen, the images were divided in three colours: red, yellow, and blue. From three heaters only one was functional. Nevertheless, the breakfast buffet was ok, diverse and tasty. Luckily, Vienna offers so many things to see and to visit that you don't stay much in the hotel. You just go there for sleeping... still, if you are looking for a cosy low budget hotel, Cristall is not the place to be. For its credit I will add it is situated in an area close to the centre and to Hundertwasser house and it is easy to get from there anywhere in Vienna.

We stay in this Hotel 4 days. Just arrived troubles with checkin. The receptionist says to me that the double room booked for 2 adults and my son (2 years old) is too small to give hospitality to 3 people... although I booked a room suitable for 2 adults and 1 child as specified in the form submitted on the online reservation. Then, after my protest, the receptionist give us a double room suitable for 3 people... but no third bed available for my child and price increased (+ 15€ per nights). I was very tired and I accepted the room. Big mistake! A railway near only 20 m. from the windows of my room; trains 24h a day... I think that all rooms are affected by this heavy noise. Not only my room!!! So, be careful if you don't want a nervous breakdown. Finally... troubles with the bill when I check out. (They don't consider the account paid because I change the room....). Truly a bad experience! In my life (34 years) never seen a similar thing! Luca Trieste - Italia P.S. sorry for my unperfect English!
