Location and getting around
The address is Einsiedlerplatz 10, postcode 1050. Westbahnhof and the Naschmarkt are about a 25-minute walk away, and Vienna Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) about 30. The MuseumsQuartier is about 35 minutes on foot. The State Opera and the Belvedere are about 40 minutes away, so for the historic centre public transport is worthwhile. The Hofburg, for example, is already 2.6 km away.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms have a desk, a shower, a hairdryer and bed linen. There is free wifi throughout the building.
The kitchen is shared and has a dishwasher, a fridge and a coffee machine, enough to prepare simple breakfasts and dinners. According to the property, the Leopold Museum and the Natural History Museum, both in the MuseumsQuartier and Ring area, are a short distance away by transport.
Who it suits
- Guests who want to cook and save on eating out.
- Those who need a desk to work at for a while.
- Travellers who use the U-Bahn or trams and don’t mind being outside the centre.
Good to know
