Pension PertschyEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The four-star Pension Pertschy, housed in the centuries-old Cavriani Palace, is a skip from the busy shopping area of the Graben (home to local favorites like Freytag & Berndt, the flagship Julius Meinl food emporium, and open-faced sandwich institution Trzesniewski) and the Stephansdom. Apart from a prime Innere Stadt location, the pension offers spacious rooms, an accommodating staff, and plenty of extras.

Move past the baroque exterior and through a courtyard to get to the hotel itself. A mishmash of modern elements and classic, high-handed Viennese style, the place is done up in a palette of pink, yellow, and white. The main lobby area, with a cushy television lounge, is a tempting spot for a quick rest.

Guests walk around the balconies overlooking the inner courtyard to access rooms. The rooms, with cable television, minibars, and free Wi-Fi, are exceedingly large, with space to move about. The pink velour furniture sets look better than they sound. The hotel's Viennese-style extends all the way to small touches like bedside chandelier light fixtures, regal wallpaper, and wispy, floor-length white curtains.

Bathrooms are a touch dark and aren't as lovingly decorated as the room themselves, though they all have toiletries and hair dryers, and some feature bathtubs.
