Urania

This is a small hotel in an old building; reasonably modern rooms. Don't look for luxury here: just a comfortable and friendly stay. WiFi access is peculiar: only one device per room, and variable signal strength. The staff are first rate; friendly, helpful, efficient; and the standards of maintenance are excellent. But it's really all about location: the area has many good restaurants, beer gardens, and cafes; the street is served by three S-Bahn lines with very frequent service; and two stops on the U1 metro line are within 5-15 minutes walk. And it's just outside the major tourist zone, so it is quiet, but Stephansplatz, the centre of the city, is a half hour walk away. The Naschmarkt is about 12-15 minutes away on foot. Karlsplatz, a major UBahn intersection, is just 15 minutes up the street. I recommend this hotel as much for its location as for the quality of the the business itself.

The room was clean and easy to access. The beds were really comfy. The staff were kind and helpful. The area was quiet and close to many things. I definitely recommend!
