Botanical Garden of the University of Vienna

Wonderful hotel, friendly staff, great breakfast, wonderful room

We had a lovely stay at House of Ble. The space is very clean, tidy and beautifully designed, and the location is excellent, just a three-minute walk to the Museum Quarter. We visited the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Natural History Museum and the National Library, all of which were easily walkable from the hotel. We stayed during the last weekend of January and while it was very cold (around -5°C most days), the snow had mostly cleared, making it easy to get around on foot — just be sure to pack thermals and shoes with grip because the floors were still a little icy in places. The staff were genuinely lovely and very welcoming throughout our stay. The only reason for not giving a full five stars is a matter of personal preference around the room temperature. Heating is controlled by the hotel, and while it was nice coming back to a warm room after being outside, the temperature reached around 25°C at night which made sleeping uncomfortable. Air conditioning has to be requested each time and is limited, which felt a little clunky. The hotel has a restaurant which looks lovely, though we didn’t use it as it closes at 4pm. On our first night we arrived very tired and would have appreciated room service, but their restaurant was not open. There is, however, a small shop on the corner for water and essentials. Overall, a really pleasant stay in a great location, and we’d happily return.

Staff is very unwelcomed
