 For Vienna this is a comparatively new building so rather lacking in charm I was on the 3rd floor in a corner room which was decorated in all shades of yellow and orange Rather overwhelming when the curtains were closed Sound Proofing is an issue The people upstairs clearly had small children who thundered around until past 11pm Next door a cupboard door was allowed to rattle back into position with monotonous regularly until past midnight I hate any kind of noise but with the only alternative being to request a room transfer at midnight I pushed on through You need your room card to access the floors in the lift which confused a lot of people including me as it didn t work very well Worst of all wifi is not free I am an HHonors member and thought that meant I got free wifi However when I rang hotel services to enquire I was told no that was not the case So the choice is either pay 10 Euros for each 24 hours or go down to the lobby where it is free I opted for the lobby where I found myself surrounded by fellow users and one man making very loud international telephone calls Not ideal if you are on business In this day and age charging for wifi is a blatant money making racket which lowered my opinion of this hotel considerably So I moved to Le Meridien for the rest of my holiday 
 This hotel is located opposite Landstrasse train station into which trains from the airport arrive Very little schlepping later and your luggage will be whisked away by the very attentive bellboy as soon as you walk through the door It is then a minute walk to the Stadtpark Vienna s city park and a further 5 to 10 minute walk to St Stephens cathedral the very heart of the city The staff are friendly and helpful The gym is small but functional with most of the equipment one might expect The room was clean and spacious I didn t have breakfast as at 31 Euros you can enjoy a full evening meal for 2 in Vienna no need to pay that much for breakfast
