King David Apartments - Dammstraße

Vienna

We were in Vienna for a short weekend getaway and roamed around the city during the day. Reached King David's Apartment by 21.00 that I had booked via Booking.com paying around 100 Euros. Its not even worth 30 Euros. People with children, you do not want to stay here. Its an old building and whole building reeked of smoke. There was no Covid protocol followed. I had communicated with them before and they had said room will be ready for check-in at 15.00 hours. I reached there at 21.00 and still didn't get a key to the room. They took 3 hours to offer me a room at around 23.30 during which time my kids were petrified because they thought they will live on the road for the night. And there was a tall guy literally running around with keys to all rooms and opening all rooms. Heard screams from men & women from many rooms as this guy was trespassing, unlocking all doors and entering other people's rooms to check for an empty room. We saw a man come out of his room in his undies, shouting and chasing after that tall guy but he had ran by then. 

Knowing that my kids are seeing all this was killing me inside! I felt I brought my kids to a creepy place at night and ruined their young minds. We tried to activate plan B, which is to book another hotel, but at 22.00 hours no one was offering us any room. Finally the room King David's Apartment offered us was a used one. Beds were slept on and comforters crumpled, used towels were hanging, dining area messed up, trash can full from previous guest, hair on pillow cover, no soap or fresh towels and what not. I have never had such gross experience in my life. Funny I bought grocery before coming to this room thinking it has a stove top, from the images of kitchenette they advertise. They don’t. There’s only a microwave and fridge. The beds were uncomfortable, there was no AC and it was hot, so windows had to be kept open. We didn’t get any sleep due to vehicle noises on road, all night. 

I want to sue this place for giving my kids a horrifying experience in life that will linger like a bad memory in their minds for a long time. And what kind of place is that where someone can lay their hands on everyone’s room keys? At last found out the tall guy was a guest and got his hands on all keys when no body responded to him about his room. Still I don’t appreciate someone entering others’ rooms just because they got the key. I would avoid such places like plague. I complained to Booking.com but they still have them listed on their site, so I don't understand how to save other's from this horrifying experience. I can't review on Booking.com as they cancelled my booking after my complaint. But this review has to go somewhere for people's awareness and safety. For me it was a NIGHTMARE!

Awful! Awful! Awful!

The apartments are in the emigrant district of Vienna. They belong to my Slovenians. They buy houses, and then they repair them slowly. At the same time, part of the house they live in themselves, part of the house goes to the grandest building - up to the bare brick walls. On some floors it looks like you live in a building! And one, two floors they somehow made and delivered through intermediaries! Despite all the advertisements and photos - it's not for you to go in there again! There are also nuances! You get a code to email, it's a code from a special metal search box - a lock that lies inside the apartment key! We were told the code, not approached, and we just tried to find it!
