Disadvantages: Bit pricey

...and my second stay in Le Meridien hotel. Too late in the year to take a beach holiday for less than a grand each but needing a break after 6 months solid work, I decided to go back. Journey We flew Austrian Airlines from Heathrow (Terminal 2 - Very quiet & we managed to check in with no wait at all) to Vienna airport, a 2 hour 10 minute journey in a tiny little Fokker plane. We were almost on the back row on the way & found the heat from the engines ...
...restaurant chain, but I declined it on both legs. On the return journey we were sat in the middle of the plane and the temperature was much better. Check in at the airport was a little slower than on the way out but still only about 10 minutes wait. We took a taxi from the airport which worked out at €45 & €40 on the way back. There is a bus service & CAT train which I imagine are much cheaper but our bags were heavy & I didn't fancy walking to ... Read review

Advantages: Central location at very reasonable price
Disadvantages: None really

This hotel has got to be one of the best kept secrets when it comes to staying in Vienna. The city is so compact that it is easy to explore on foot and the family run Hotel Post is one of the most economic places to stay in the central Ring area of Vienna. You are less than 10 minutes walk from the Stefansdom, Kaerntnerstrasse and the Graben and there's a subway (U-Bahn) station - Schwedenplatz about 3 minutes from the hotel, as well as stops for ...
...during their visit. The Hotel Post is an older style of hotel and perhaps not as luxurious as some of the more modern hotels in the city, however, rooms are spotlessly clean, large, with usual features and more than good value for the price. Continental style buffet breakfast is excellent (try getting coffee this good in a British hotel!) and I've "stocked up" there for a day's sight-seeing on more than one occasion. Reception staff are exceedingly ... Read review

...as I have stayed at Mercure hotels before in Barcelona & Paris & was left impressed by their value or money, clean & decent rooms & I always received a decent breakfast. When on holiday I look at hotels to provide me with a bed at night & a decent breakfast, the reminder of the time is spent out & about, sightseeing. We arrived at the hotel & was swiftly & efficiently checked in, the informed us that they didn't have a restaurant which wasn't a ...
...room behind the reception desk is only used for breakfast or corporate events when a buffet is arranged. More surprisingly our room was just a short walking distance behind the reception desk & the breakfast room, when we arrived at the room I was surprised to see two glass doors. Once opened & you entered the room & within three feet you are confronted by a thick pair of closed curtains, pulling back the curtains was like being on stage!! Behind ... Read review

Advantages: Fully equipped rooms, free wireless
Disadvantages: No restaurant

Mercure Nestroy in Vienna is a good value for money for a place to stay over holidays or during a business trip. Located a 5 minute walk from a subway station and withing a 20 min walk from the city centre, Mercure is much cheaper than its counterparts just 1 km close to the city centre. The hotel is not impressively decorated, and in general, one should not expect luxury. However, it is very practical. The rooms, for example, are equipped with larger ...
...restaurants within a 2-10 minutes walk. The is also no possibility to obtain an iron from the reception. Finally, the personnel is very helpful in all the small thing a tourist may need. All in all, Mercure is a sound if not a nicely looking investment. ... Read review
