ARCOTEL Wimberger Vienna

I was quite impressed with this hotel, particularly with its breakfast which was among the best I have had in my frequent travels. The scrambled eggs were notable as they are my test for a great breakfast; they tasted freshly made from real eggs. The selection is also greatly varied and to put it in terms that I search for: it was a full hot breakfast with everything you could ask for. I had a standard room that while nothing much to look at (the only decoration was the black and white photo of Schonbronn that you find in every hotel in Vienna) was comfortable and functional with the little things that make it a better hotel: a mini fridge, a make up mirror, plenty of accessible outlets, a spacious wardrobe. My only complaint is that the room was hot; even turning off the heating system didn’t help much. I had to open the window to sleep comfortably. The hotel is located a 5 minute walk from the Westbahnhof so a 15 minute Ubahn ride from the station will have you in the old city. Being outside that area also makes the hotel a good deal: you aren’t far from the sites and the price of the hotel therefore less than those closer to the old city. It’s close to Mariahilfer Strasse and all its shopping. Head towards that street for a variety of restaurants.
