Pension Walzerstadt

Our host Zeno is friendly, intelligent and convivial, and he made our stay more pleasant. Location is great, only five tram stops from the Hofburg and museum quarter. Hotel next to tram stop, beside two good local restaurants and close to several others, yet we were never disturbed by noise. Breakfast was decent value.

Room smells of old smoke, presumably caught in carpet and curtains in times past.

The room was close to Vienna action, and to the U line that took us to downtown. It was an easy walk. The room was large and clean, the bathroom large, We had an extra bed that worked well for us as a place to put our luggage and to sit if we wanted. Also, the wifi in our room wasn't working and when I texted the host about the problem, he came right up and immediately fixed it. Loved the response!

At the beginning, we didn't understand that the reception area is not always staffed, though we never did "get" if it was not staffed at certain hours, or if those hours were random depending on other work the host had. We initially said we would be in at X time, but we had a change and were an hour later. The host was not happy about this and let us know it. In another instance, my husband went back to the room alone without the key. Because the front door is always locked, he had to call the host to be let in--at great inconvenience to the host. I would just suggest people be very aware of the times the reception area is not staffed and try to conduct all business during those hours.

Center location.

Normal accommodation. Bed is to close to the ground. The walls are dirty next to it. The facilities are missing.
