твердая 3-ка, но Вена действительно очаровательная! a solid 3, but Vienna is really charming!

Stayed at this hotel in May 2008. Of course the peeled paint on the door and broken refrigerator doors are not great. But it is conveniently located: near the metro station (central line), near the hotel there is a tram stop. Nearby (200m) Mariahilfstrasse is a street for shopaholics like me. There are only Russians and in many stores they speak Russian. The railway station is 500m away, you can go to Baden or Salzburg, and even to Venice (we all found out, there is even a special train Vienna-Venice, it runs all night and at 7-00 you are in Venice), but you were unsuccessful. There was a lot to see in Vienna.
There are many advantages to hotels:
This is a rich breakfast (more than! ) 10 types of cold cuts and cheeses, including expensive varieties, watermelons, melons, peaches, strawberries in May smoothed out my impression of the hotel. As well as the staff, very attentive at the reception. The room was cleaned every day, towels changed daily, our scattered things were put in a closet and cosmetics were placed neatly on the table. The only problem is the staff are Chinese, Indians, Yugoslavs and Russians. We were immediately warned not to leave anything in the room and NEVER! Do not leave your bag on a chair in a restaurant. She carried all the gold, documents and money with her! Once they already called from the reception that we were late for the tour, I pulled out 50 euros from the stash, and in a hurry left them on the table. She came - no, probably the Chinese maid thought it was a tip. Well, what to do, we were warned. They didn't even get into a relationship. The windows overlooked the courtyard-well. Very quiet. The room is small, but enough for an overnight stay.

Separately, I want to say about the Austrian tour operator Mondial (we bought a tour from the Windrose company in Kyiv), thank you! Very normal level of service. Competent pleasant guides, Olga and Margarita (especially pleasant and attentive! ), Elena also liked it. The buses are comfortable, everything is exactly to the minute, there are no delays and delays during excursions. We were always late out of habit. Vienna is beautiful, there is a lot to see. Beautiful parks, just like to relax clean air. 7 days is not enough. Separately, about shopping (for all tastes and wallets) Mariachelstrasse - a shopping street - you can find anything and cheaper than in Kyiv, leather bags 70-80 euros, beautiful blouses and dresses - from 14 to 50 euros (you can find more expensive in the center , depending on who is looking for exclusive or consumer goods). With my standard figure, blouses for 19 euros looked chic, there are no such styles in Kyiv yet. From the exclusive I VERY recommend the store right next to the hotel - "Johann Strauss" at MARIAHILFERSTRABE, 119, for business ladies suits from 69.90 euros of excellent quality. Other than that, we are delighted!
