Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Superb connectivity: U3/U6 metro and Westbahnhof trains are literally across the street
- Soundproof windows that actually block out the busy Gürtel traffic
- High-quality breakfast buffet with extensive options (though pricey)
Snel Overzicht: A solid business-class hotel with a voyeuristic bathroom design that might make sharing a room with your platonic friend incredibly awkward.
Beoordeeld door @lilystravelss: I stayed at this gem in Vienna and I'm obsessed. The morning light hitting the room, that insane breakfast spread, and the sleek glass bathroom made my stay unforgettable. It's the perfect mix of modern style and comfort.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the glass shower really see-through?
Yes. It's a glass box in the room. Most have a curtain you can pull around it, but gaps happen. It's intimate.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not. It costs around €24 per person. It's excellent, but you can find cheaper cafes nearby.
How far is the city center?
About 10-15 minutes by U3 subway (Westbahnhof to Stephansplatz). Walking takes 30-40 minutes.
Is there parking?
Yes, an underground garage is available for ~€32/day. Spaces are tight; reserve in advance.
Does the hotel have air conditioning?
Yes, and it's generally effective, which is crucial since you can't open windows noise-free in summer.
Is it safe at night?
Yes, but Westbahnhof is a major train station, so you'll see a mix of travelers and loiterers. Standard big-city awareness applies.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast at least once and walk to Mariahilfer Straße for local bakeries.
- ✨
The 'Comfort' rooms are often the same size as standard ones; you're paying for the floor/view, not extra square footage.
- ✨
There is a Billa Plus supermarket in the Westbahnhof station for cheap water and snacks.
