The surrounding of the hotel is absolutely astonishinh especially at late spring. However is some 12-15 km from the center of Vienna so you need to spend anothe 20-25 EUR to get there and eventually - back as well. The place is far from being luxury whatsoever.

We stayed 3 nights there, in the second building, some 20 feet away from the main buliding. Far from the city (12 km or 23 euros - taxi ride from the opera to the hotel). very unpleasant surroundings in the winter...Room, hmmm...old, needs to be totally refurbished. The painting (see photo...) was "astonishing", I never saw another uglier "wall deco"... More

It wouldn't be our first choice in Vienna. Beutiful location, in the mountains, but very far from the city. The pics in Internet were too much different from the real 'fatiscente' aspect of the Hotel (old furniture, broken glasses, etc.). Very good dinner!
