Excellent Location and Friendly Staff

central locationcomfortable bedplentiful breakfastquiet room
I found the location to be awesome. It was a short walk to St Stephan's. My room was spacious, and the bed was super comfortable (I slept like a baby). Breakfast was plentiful, with many options. For an inner-city hotel, I found it to be surprisingly quiet, which I really appreciated after a long day of sightseeing.
The only minor inconvenience was the occasionally spotty WiFi connection. It wasn't always reliable.
