BRAND NEW PLACE! Opening : October 2008   This is a private guesthouse situation (5 rooms) with a friendly, welcoming ambiance. Absolutely non-smoking! If you wish to experience Vienna as a traveler in an authentic and local atmosphere, then this is the place you should choose to stay. The location could not be better, right off of Vienna`s main shopping street, Mariahilfer Strasse is one of Vienna’s liveliest areas. The intersection directly in front of our windows is one of the busiest in the area. Important public transportation connections such as the U3 underground line (Neubaugasse Station), Bus 13A to/from the Sudbahnhof (Southern Railway Station), 10min. walk to the Westbahnhof (Western Railway Station) and approximately the same time to walk to the City’s Center. There are many places to eat, including coffee houses (traditional Viennese to Starbucks), bars, bakeries, restaurants, deli’s and family style establishments in the area. Therefore, breakfast is not offered as everyone prefers to sample from the multitude of choices in the area. In each room we provide a kettle for hot water with mugs, plus coffee and teabags.   The Naschmarket is also a 10 min. walk away and is open 7 days a week. You will find fresh fruits/vegetable stands, international deli’s and food stalls offering inexpensive meals. In addition, each Saturday there is also a popular “Flee market”.   The Spittelberg area, noted for its student bars and artistic shops, is also about a 5 min walk away, with twisted, curving cobblestone streets leading you around more, beautiful Viennese architecture. Our next door neighbor is the traditional, well known, Old Viennese Coffee house called “Cafe Ritter” directly on the corner.   Upon your check-in, we offer a detailed outline of attractions and things to do in Vienna with a city map to help make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible.
