Nestled on a quiet side street near the bustling Schwedenplatz, the 46-room Hotel Austria offers a rare combination of good value, a wealth of amenities (especially impressive for a three-star hotel) and an attentive staff. Abutting Heiligenkreuz Abbey and near many of Innere Stadt's most popular sites, Vienna's appealing historical riches are literally next door.
The grand spiral staircase leads up to quiet, airy rooms awash in Viennese yellows and reds. Rooms with a shared bathroom are an exceptional deal for the neighborhood. Bathtubs have been shoehorned into some bathrooms, despite their cramped nature.
Far from Spartan, some rooms are outfitted with flat-screen televisions, and all are available with complimentary wireless Internet access. A bike rental service for guests, at just €8 a day, is another nice touch.
