The business ruins are interesting. The outlets in some parts are not conveniently placed. The dishes are locked up so i had to call for someone to get to them. The bathroom is adequate, but small. It's cozy, but clean and in an affluent area of the city with easy transport options. There is a small kitchen and plenty of stores where you can get food.

A perfect weekend hotel

My stay at the Franz Kaiser Joseph was excellent and provided a perfect escape for our trip to Vienna. The staff were all friendly and accommodating and the parking below was a nice affordable amenity. The rooms were well kept and the noise level was calm and quiet which made it easy to sleep peacefully all night.
