IntercityHotel Wien

The hotel seemed to have very mixed reviews, but our stay over a weekend in late January was great. The hotel is very well located close to Westbanhoff station in north west Vienna. A VAL (Vienna Airport Lines) bus connects the airport to Westbanhoff via the main train station (Hautbanhoff). Cost was 8.50 euro each way. Using the U-bahn system is even easier as after exiting the metro station at Westbanhoff, following the signs for Inner Mariahilferstrasse, going up two short escaltors you are literally in front of the hotel. Next to the hotel are Billa and Spar supermarkets (9-21pm, except Saturday until 18pm. Sunday closed) and the BackWerk cafe. The Good Coffee Society (across the main road on Stumpergasse) as well as Cafe Weingartner (on Goldschlagsstrasse which is behind Westbanhoff) were also great for breakfast. The hotel looked clean and modern as we entered. Reception staff were friendly, polite and attentive. An extra pillow was no trouble. Answering questions and helping with directions was no trouble. The lift to our third floor double room was large, clean and very quick. We asked for two keycards and got them. The room was interior courtyard facing room and very quiet. Clean, with room to walk around the bed, two armchairs, two duvets as well. Bathroom was large enough with a shower that had excellent pressure. Two large towels and two face towels. Room was warm when we entered. Oh, and plenty of cupboard/hangar space. We had an excellent stay. The price/room was great. The staff were lovely. No complaints at all.
