DEFINITELY A MUST STAY HOTEL! Larissa!!! From the moment we arrived at the reception, tired & jet-lagged, she welcomed us & made us feel right at home at this beautiful hotel. After we left our bags in our WONDERFUL room (fabulous air conditioning), Larissa showed us where to get a FANTASTIC lunch. She gave us an overview of Vienna which we followed the whole time we were there (almost one week). Every time we saw her in the hotel, she remembered us & helped with any questions. Larissa is outstanding in every way & made our stay here the best from the moment we arrived. The entire staff in the kitchen (breakfast) & reception/bar was friendly and helpful. The daily breakfast at the Josefhofs was outstanding; incredible variety & new items each day so that we still ate our favorite things but got to try new things as well. Gorgeous interior courtyard to eat our breakfast, or inside seating area if preferred. Very cool bar/eatery inside the hotel from noon (when breakfast ends) until the wee hours of the morning. Very quiet for agreat nights sleep every night. Great bed & bathroom/shower. Free drinks at the bar downstairs (1 per person) for every day you choose not to have the room cleaned. Great location; 5 minute walk to the metro (easy metro system), less than 5 minute walk to city area, 15-20 minute walk to the cathedral with city streets, shops, cafes, restaurants all along the way (all is so close by including a great grocery store). We WILL stay here next time!
