Altwienerhof is the kind of place for those who desire a smidgen of luxury at a very reasonable price and aren't too worried about being in the thick of things. This family-run three-star hotel is almost a miniature version of the grand establishments lining the Ringstrasse.

The foyer is a mix of wood panelling and grey marble. Tiny miniature chandeliers are scattered throughout (even in rooms) and the entire place exudes a touch of nobility. Room decor harks back to a bygone era when the Orient Express was all the rage; pseudo-antique pieces, floral bed covers and couches, and lace table cloths all do a fine job of adding a touch of old-fashioned romance. In fact, the hotel could easily be the setting for an early Agatha Christie novel (except, in this case, the receptionist did it). The winter garden, which occupies much of the ground floor and overlooks the inner courtyard, is surprisingly large for a hotel of this size. One of the few drawbacks is the service, which at times is barely adequate.
