"Vienna is a unique historic City. Our visit was a journey to visit family history in a City that embodies the history, culture, art. and cuisine of Europe. Our desire was to find a special place to stay for this special visit. Someplace unique, central to the historic center of the City, walking distance to many of the museums and galleries as well as the exceptional restaurants found throughout the City.
Through a detail search and review, we discovered the Hotel Altstadt Vienna. This boutique Hotel embodies all of the attributes we search for when traveling. A unique property, that is not a major brand, with distinct individual and spacious rooms, well aportioned, very clean and maintained.
In my opinion the Hotel Altstadt, is one of a kind. What it may lack in a large sprawling lobby, it makes up for with distinct intimate spaces, a fabulous breakfast each morning, and a tea time each afternoon with delicious home made pastries, that I'm not sure any guest would ever miss during there stay. We certainly didn't.
As a remodeled historic Vienna property, you were reminded of the rich Viennese history and craftsmanship everywhere. A walk up/down the stairs, with your hands on a banister crafted many, many years ago, was a daily reminder of the City you were visiting. Artwork, both contemporary and traditional was tastefully displayed throughout the Hotel. A warm welcome to the Vienna Art District waiting to be explored outside your door.
There is so much to do in Vienna, it becomes a bit overwhelming at times. After a long day in the City, it was a welcome respite to return to the Hotel Atstadt, enjoy a glass of wine, or tea, revisit your day and socialize with new friends. The entire experience was relaxing, and at times enchanting.
The friendly, capable staff was a large part of the experience. The Staff was helpful, friendly, warm and caring always. We were overwhelmed with the delicacies presented each morning from the kitchen, fresh bread and pastries, from a kitchen staff that was rarely seen but always felt.
It is without hesitation that I would highly recommend the Hotel Altstadt Vienna. If you plan a visit to Vienna, treat yourself to a true treasure of this rich historic City."
