Hotel Pension QuisisanaEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

Housed in an art deco building, the Hotel Pension Quisisana has been owned by the Széles family since 1969. This quaint 16-room pension is within spitting distance of the Mariahilferstrasse's terminus at the Ring. You're very close to the Opera, as well—that is, if you're not distracted by the multitude of shops along the way. Quisisana is a Roman term for "inn." Service—and rates—are old-fashioned. Accommodations aren't as much chic as they are simple. Parquet floors and white fixtures sparkle. Street-side rooms receive lots of light. We prefer these over darker rooms facing the courtyard. Unless you're in one of the triples of the deluxe suite (still cheaper than most double rooms in this neighborhood), interiors are cramped. Some rooms, including all single rooms, have shared toilets on the floor. The triple is the room to get at the Quisisana. Occupying a corner space, it includes a seating nook with bay windows looking out on the street. Just two rooms have tubs. Wireless Internet is available for a charge. We adore the breakfast area near the front desk. It used to be a restaurant, and many of the circa 1970 fixtures remain, so it's like a private café just for guests and their morning muesli.
