1My partner and I decided to treat ourselves to a 5 star hotel break in Vienna for 3 nights however we were very disappointed with this hotel.
When we arrived outside the hotel the general appearance of it set alarm bells ringing as to the quality of this hotel so we weren't exactly too positive on what to expect from the interior.
The reception staff were very friendly and efficient and could not be faulted.
The biggest disappointment was the hotel room, it's hard to describe how small it actually was (so in measurements 15ft x 11ft incl the ensuite). The ensuite had no bath and there was no extra surprises in the room besides 2 wilted apples on a miniature sized coffee table together with a box of matches, not to mention the 2 coarse bathrobes and one pair of slippers in the wardrobe. The room however was spotlessly clean.
On the first night we decided to have dinner in the hotel's restaurant, standard food at 5 star prices would be how i'd describe it . We did not return to eat there again. Breakfast was also only okay, bread rolls weren't fresh an the waiting service was non existent so we weren't served coffee or cooked breakfast ( Continental breakfast was self service) .
Overall I would not recommend this hotel to those who want the 5 star treatment. We had paid well above the odds for our hotel break, at best it should only be rated as a 4 star.
