March 2023 sees the completion of a mission that started in 2019/20. That mission was a trip to Vienna. Home of the "Habsburg Dynasty". The chosen hotel "Eurostars Embassy". Was it a good choice? Most definitely! and here's why. A 30 minute train ride from the airport via the S7. Alight at Wein Mitte. A brief Y.O.M.P. or the 74A and 5-10 minutes more. Will drop you directly outside of this hotel. Straight away. Fantastic transport infrastructure. It's understated exterior is easy to miss if your not paying attention. Check in was a swift process. The reception foyer was clean. The staff were very polight and a few more clicks at the check in desk then "yes we were expecting you" "Welcome to Vienna and the Eurostars Embassy. Your room is ready" Thank you Maia. The lift was "cozy" the room was on the 8th Floor and to thr front of the building with curved wrap around windows. The views from the 8th floor were decent and the roof tops of Vienna were visually accessible. The room was clean yet basic, and just what you needed for a short excursion. It can get pretty noisy if you open the window as the hotel is on a main traffic route, expect to hear the odd police or ambulance siren throughout the day. After 8pm though silence. The noise is dampened if you keep the windows closed. The walk ins shower with a "waterfall showerhead" was tiled in dark stone but considerably spacious. The room had a safe and a minibar quute nearly tucked away. Prices were not quite London extortionate buy a short 2 minute walk around the corner give you access to a 24hr spa shop so... The bed was sturdy, the pillows were simple the bedding was clean and the turndown I the morning caused no issues. Breakfast was a muted experience. The hotel team did well to keep the small dining space very clean, the coffee fresh, the cold items chilled and the hot food items warmed. It was a Limited selection for a location thar is clearly being frugal (I know what powdered egg scrambled eggs look like) the bread was fresh ish and the fruit juice deffo from a box. No hacks this time. There's a 24hf Gym directly opposite the hotel and if there were any spa facilities on site they did not make themselves very visible. The staff have a very good local knowledge and Maia was able to suggest at least 12 places to visit during the stay with directions of how to get there. As the hotel is literally 2 minutes from multiple tube stations and you have the bus stops directly outside, you will find that you can access many more locations than you think. Check out was also a swift process efficient and no issues. They asked if the room was OK and if anything was not working. The feedback was given and greatly appreciated. All in all a standard 4**** hotel experience. I would consider staying here again if I ever I returned to Vienna.
