ActiLingua Apartment Hotel

Pleasant
Traveller Type: group
  : Big apartment. Close to tram and metros. Option for breakfast - continental was satisfactory. Staff spoke very good English.
  : We had no room service on the second day and really wanted fresh towels but we got back late and reception was closed. The 5th bed in the apartment was the sofa bed and was not comfy so would not necessarily recommend. HOt water ran out quickly. No tea/coffee or milk on arrival, we arrived late and no shops open...

  : I liked everything – the room, the personnel, the period building with a character, see photos, I’ll have more on Tripadvisor.Even the location! It’s not central – that’s fine, I don’t like the smell of horses in central Vienna!Very easy transportation, tram within 2 minutes’ walk, then train to the airport, very economical.The room is spacious, well-lit and clean. Nice lamps. And warm – unlike most private apartments I stayed in. To complement the TV they have a radio with a classic music station ‘Stephansdom’, made me feel I am indeed in the European music capital :)Everything functioning in the bathroom, with a hairdryer – very important for me, I had 5 opera visits!Very well equipped kitchen, you can even make your own pasta. And the knives do peel apples and cut grapefruits – quite a relief, I often have a problem with dull knives in most places I have stayed.And the personnel is absolutely wonderful. Not everyone speaks English, but they do their best to make your stay comfortable, it’s much more important. In short, if something brings me back to Vienna, it will be not overcrowded attractions or overestimated opera, it will be this charming little hotel. With their modest rates they treat you like honored guests – much better than at Staatsoper, where for 200 euro / night you’ll be treated like a pauper!
  : Note that I stayed just by myself, I think it was # 17b. If there are more people, obviously one will have less space per person.Generally it’s a twin room (2 beds, put together) + a sofa in the kitchen. There are 3 sets of dishes – 3 cups, 3 saucers, etc. It’s an aparthotel, not a private apartment where you most often have salt / pepper / sugar, what’s left from previous guests. Here you have the dish-washing liquid and two sponges, everything else you need to bring yourself. If it’s a short stay and you fly – no problem, your airline gives you some with your meals, just don’t throw away.The fridge, as far as I remember, was emptied but not wiped. No problem, I can do it myself. Note that the lift goes up to the 3rd floor, but there is 1 more flight of stairs to the attic, where my room was located.
