The location was fine, about half a mile from the Kunstmuseen. It was about 250-300m from the Neubaugasse U-bahn entrances and less than 200m from a Billa supermarket. There is a gym, Evo, within 100m so anyone wanting to workout can look at the option of joining for a month or maybe can email them and do a deal for a shorter period. It is not a purpose-built hotel but a couple of floors in an office building. The entrance area has signs for other businesses, a lift and concrete stairs with no carpet or vinyl. The room was small and had no tea or coffee making facilities though it had a minibar. There was a decent amount of space for clothing provided by drawers, shelves and hangers. There was a safe which could accommodate a tablet but not a laptop. The shower had good pressure but the wash-hand basin drain developed a leak for which the solution was a bucket. There was one hand towel, one bath towel and one bath mat provided and they were quite thin. The heated towel rail gets switched off so if you have been out in the rain and get soaked, good luck with trying to dry clothing. There was a courtyard for a view and a refuse bin right outside the window. The breakfast room was too small for the number of guests and the choice of breakfast items was very limited. Only two cereal dispensers, no croissants, no pastries and no options for fresh fruit juice. I really don't know why this accommodation has a four star rating. It looks more like a two star standard and has no benefits such as a gym, pool, sauna or the like. I have stayed in two star hotels that provide bigger rooms, better options for breakfast and even a bar.
