Nestled on a quiet side street that's just steps from St. Stephen's Cathedral, the three-star Hotel Austria offers a rare combination of good value, a wealth of amenities, and an attentive staff.

A grand spiral staircase leads up to 46 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 offer complimentary wireless Internet access. A bike rental service for guests, at just €12 a day, is another nice touch.

Location: Very central

0.3km to city center

The Innere Stadt is the Vienna of tourist brochures and chocolate boxes. This is not such a bad thing. The 'hood is popular because it's still charming and beautiful. The narrow, twisting cobblestone streets and fin-de-siècle façades, the expensive shops on the pedestrian-only Graben, and the alluring Stephansdom are all here. Sure, the Stephansdom is constantly undergoing renovation, but the parts not obscured by scaffolding are knock-your-socks-off gorgeous.

Unlike many old city centers popular with tourists, the Innere Stadt is big enough to boast back streets that appear quiet and undiscovered, thus offering a respite from the frenzy. If the Graben doesn't empty your pocketbook fast enough, there's also the slightly less posh shops of the Kärtnerstrasse, leading to the Opera and the Ring circumscribing the Innere Stadt.
