Hotel Johann Strauss

I stayed here in March and it was a very pleasant stay. Rooms are huge, amenities are great, comfortable beds and a great concierge. However, my stay was very personal for me as I was observing the month of Ramadan I had emailed the hotel prior to my arrival to ask if there were any protocols in place for those observing the month of Ramadan in which I was very surprised and overwhelmed that the hotel were willing to provide me a breakfast box during my 2 night stay. This was an absolutely heartwarming experience as they included it part of my 'breakfast' in my stay but to go out of their way to prep one for me was fantastic. Really enjoyed the values of the hotel and it's service. I'll be back soon.

I really like the location of this place. Right near the metro line one stop from the train station and one stop from the opera house. Staff is friendly and neighborhood is quiet. My only issue is that the room is liking taking a step back in time by about 60 years. The shower door is a challenge to use and the decoration is retro. See my pics. The other thing is that this place still uses the old key system where you give the key to the front desk. When you return you just ask for the key to your room number. There is no check that you are the person who supposed to be in that room. This could be a security issue. Also because it is a key system, you have to use the key to lock the door when you leave AND when you are in your room and want to lock your door. This is not obvious because most hotels have doors that automatically lock. Breakfast was fine but it would be hard to get to the breakfast room if you have mobility issues as there are about four or five steps without a ramp.

We had a nice stay at this hotel. They have a cot for our toddler and our room is spacious. The location is nice and close to metro. They have a parking and nearby public parking with a cheaper fee. But if it's weekend, parking outside the street is free. Overall, nice experience.
