My wife and I stayed here for three nights during our recent trip to Central Europe. We paid $185 Euro per night including breakfast. I thought the hotel was well worth the price. The front desk clerks, Petra and Teresa, were extraordinarily helpful with everything from restaurant recommendations and reservations to train reservations. We stayed in the "White Suite" which was spacious and included a four poster, curtained bed and small "sitting area" within the main room. The bathroom was large for a European property and, contrary to one review I read, had plenty of shelf space for toiletries. The breakfast was good and included "made to order" eggs which is not all that common. Nor is the inclusion of breakfast in the room rate. The other places we stayed on this trip charged an extra 20 Euro . .. .we passed. Admittedly, the hotel is not on the nicest street but I, again, disagree with the reviewer who said it was in a "bad neighborhood." The one major drawback, and it may be a big one for some people depending on the time of year, is that the property is not air conditioned. We were there during a late spring "heat wave" when the temperatures were around 30 C if not higher. The room, and the hotel in general, for that matter, were not too comfortable in these conditions. Despite this, I would stay here again. Yes, it's a bit of a walk to the major tourist sites but it's only about 5-7 minutes to the subway which is quite convenient. Plus, the walk always helped us walk off the excess beer and wurst .

We were booked at Das Tyrol but they messed up and double booked so sent us here for one night of our 3 night stay. Big mistake on their part - would choose Aldstadt for a return visit any time. Spacious rooms, bright clean bathrooms, good breakfast and tea and cakes included in the B&B price. Staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. Ok, so it's a few minutes further from the city centre but well worth the extra walk. We really liked the fact that the hotel was only part-occupier of the building - the presence of private flats in the same location only added to the unique feel of the place. The Aldstadt is so different from the standard global hotels we have stayed in so often - we would highly recommend it and find it hard to understand the few negative reviews.

Just got back from a wonderful 5 day break staying at the Altstadt. What a great hotel, I can't understand some of the negative reviews. We found the hotel charming, the accommodation superb, the food varied and of good quality and the service was speedy and efficient. The attitude of the staff was that nothing was too much trouble. If you are like us and don't like chain hotels then this is the place to stay. It is quirky and very arty and unique. The location, on the edge of the museum quarter, is great - everything is within walking distance. Vienna is a beautiful city and this was the ideal place to explore it from. We felt like welcome guests in a friends home and would like to have stayed for longer. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend this hotel to my family and friends

We stayed six nights at the Allstadt in April. The room was terrific, the staff pleasant and helpful, and the location just a bit out of the maintstream - which worked for us. A very good buffet breakfast is included in the room charge. Internet access is not available in the room, but they have a computer with easy access. It is in an older, very interesting part of Vienna, close to museums and palaces, and the underground is a five-minute walk. We loved it, we'll return.

Just returned from four days in Vienna. The hotel was lovely. Above standard you would expect for the pirce we paid. It was spotlessly clean and L'occataine products in the en suite. Very impressive. The food was very fresh and afternoon coffee and cakes were free, which were very welcome after a long day sightseeing. The staff were most helpful in guiding us where to see and where to eat, recommending fabulous restaurants. The major shopping area and the U station were within walking distance. Depite renovations going on while we were there we were very well look after.A most enjoyable stay.
