Weekend break .

Rooms a bit smaller than I thought they would be. Beds slide on floor very easily when sat upon. Also lots of room noise from within the hotel, people moving furniture around etc. Bar area very pleasant, staff helpful and friendly.

Living Hotel Kaiser Franz Joseph was new in the 1980s when I lived in the Sieveringerstr, so I thought I'd give it a try. Then I needed to move the dates for my trip. Every other hotel in Austria accommodated me. This one gave me the run around for two weeks saying I needed to speak to a manager, but I was never able to contact one, nor was expedia able to, so I lost the money. Don't bother saying here, lots of great newer, better run places in the neighborhood.

The business ruins are interesting. The outlets in some parts are not conveniently placed. The dishes are locked up so i had to call for someone to get to them. The bathroom is adequate, but small. It's cozy, but clean and in an affluent area of the city with easy transport options. There is a small kitchen and plenty of stores where you can get food.

It everything you want in a hotel.

We only spend one night. The rooms were clean, the beds were very comfortable, they had water and beers in the fridge for us. The staffs were friendly and professional. It was very quiet so we were able to get much needed rest. It a very beautiful hotel.

Good hotel in nice area

Nice hotel in a nice area. Convenient for public transport into Vienna. A couple of restaurants nearby but easy enough to go into Vienna to eat. Basic cooking facilities in the room inc microwave. Supermarkets within a couple of minutes walk. Small bathroom but adequate, good hot shower. Beds comfortable, pillows not so. Asked for extra pillows. Breakfast not too our taste. Cold meat, salad, bread, only eggs and sausage warm with baked beans on one day. I would recommend this hotel.
