Hilton Vienna Plaza
The room and bathroom were excellent, spacious and clean. The attention to the room was less good: the safe did not work and needed to be fixed, the temperature control likewise, the conditioner and coffee both ran out and were not replaced, the room was not serviced on one occasion until 4.30.

Hotel Grand Ferdinand Vienna
Biggest plus: location and clean rooms. Improvements needed: Check in service, while swift was lacking hospitality. Rooms are very small and had the shower facing the bedroom. Almost zero room on sink counter. Restaurant (Gulasche & Sohn) was very good for dinner and breakfast.
