Prater & East of the Danube
This midranger looks nondescript on the face of things, but its merits are many: it's five minutes' walk from Prater, two U-Bahn stops from Stephansplatz, and staff bend over backwards to please. Done up in pine and red-and-white fabrics, rooms are streamlined and immaculate, all with flat-screen TVs and kettles.
Breakfast is a wholesome spread of fruit, cereals, cold cuts and eggs. Rates slide all over the shop: book online for the best deals.
