Hotel Pension Baron am Schottentor

The location of the hotel is excellent with one of the main hubs for trams, busses or underground 5 minutes away. The hotel was very quite and no loud noises were heard. The room was spacious and clean. The hotel was also very kind in letting us check-in earlier and leaving the luggage there after check-out as we had a late flight.

The hotel staff was VERY clear about the directions for check-in after hours. Both of the reception staff whom I met were very helpful regarding restaurant options and general questions. The reception area shows some well-loved wear, and the carpet on the stairs to the second floor is well-worn. I thought that the ambiance added to the charm, and made me feel as if I was staying in an "old-style" hotel. My room was absolutely spotless, and well-appointed, with plenty of access to mains for recharging phones and tablets. The room also had a fridge and safe, which I didn't expect (maybe I didn't read the room appointment list). The property is located about three blocks from the metro, and there is a tram stop almost immediately outside the hotel entrance. There are many restaurants within either a short tram ride or within walking distance, as well as many different takeaway options. The hotel offers a (paid) car service to the airport with 24-hour prior notice. The mattresses were super-comfy.

Location was great! We could open the window and see the gorgeous Votive church and also the bustling night life of Wien below. After viewing this extra bonus, we put earplugs in, left the window open to the lovely night air and slept soundly on the comfortable beds. The room was small and was what we expected, with no surprises or hidden charges. Really appreciated the little refrigerator, as Wien has such reasonable, fresh food. Staff was polite and informative. The chandelier and purple color of the room was pretty cool as well.

The position of the hotel was exceptional. A metro just up the road, a 15-20 minute walk and you are in city centre, a pub opposite the hotel with super delicious food, Mc Donalds up the road. The room was large and clean. We had a balcony which was lovely. Staff helpful and communication was easy. They even organised the airport transfer for us which was quite comfortable due to our early and late flights.

Super clean location is an A+ 8 minute walk to transportation hub that provides access to trams and underground with access to main hbf and airport. Lots of eating options very close by. 8 minute walk to main Xmas market we nicknamed “crazy town as it was super crowded” so walking distance was a plus!
