Almersberg Vacations from $1,078

The reception missed the VIP perk of 40 EUR even though I had mentioned it at the checkout and the lady knew about it and confirmed with me, I have to go back to get a refund later. All invoices are in German, I need to read them very carefully to realize that I didn't get the VIP Perk

I was looking for a place in Vienna's Innere Stadt for my week in Vienna. I'm glad I chose Pension Dr Geissler. Things I enjoyed: * The location is perfect, just minutes from the subway and St Stephen's and other landmarks. * My room was really nice, had a shower (from the description I thought this was shared). Toilet was shared among 4 rooms on floor and I never had an instance where it was busy when I needed it. Room had a TV and bed was comfortable. * Included breakfast was a nice touch each morning. * I arrived late (after 11 p.m.) due to a train into town. I was nervous about this since it's after official check in hours. But when I rang the outside bell, someone immediately answered and helped me get in and up to my room. Cautions: * Initial communication could be better: when I first emailed them asking about procedure for arriving late, it took a few days for someone to respond, saying my message was in their spam. I'm not sure how to get around this, for a customer. * Breakfast is on the 8th floor (along with pension office); my room was on the 5th. Other rooms are scattered here and there in the building which is shared with other apartments and businesses. It's many stairs if you walk. There's an elevator, although at times it's fairly slow. * Towels are not changed daily -- mine were only changed when I left them on the floor. Maybe this is standard, but nothing in the room indicated it. * Plant near office/courtyard window needed watering.

El hotel es muy lindo, la limpieza es excelente muy buena atención y muy céntrico.

Beautiful historical hotel, but rundown. My wife got her foot cut on a small piece of glass in the bathroom that was left over from another guest. Very knowledgeable concierge but the rest of the staff/service was mediocre.
