The four-star Alla Lenz is hidden in the back streets of Neubau. This neighborhood, ten minutes walk from the shops of Mariahilferstrasse and 30 to 40 minutes to the Innere Stadt, is one of Vienna's most popular nightlife districts. It's downright surprising to find a business hotel like the Alla Lenz here, but if you value quiet and cleanliness over a central location, Alla Lenz is not a bad choice. That said, you won't get much of a discount for how far you are from the city center.
Mid-sized rooms are tidily organized without much style. Furnishings are wood, for the most part, and the color scheme a classic blue and white combo. The vibe is modern, from the cable televisions of recent vintage to the spic and span tile bathrooms with silver showerheads, though none of the rooms are especially impressive or bright. We found the rooms facing the courtyard to be especially gloomy. Singles, given the prevailing rate, are very small.
There are some nice perks if you're planning a summertime visit: 20 of the Pension's 25 rooms have AC, a rarity in these parts. There's also a swank swimming pool and a parking garage.
