Check-in

Check-in went smoothly and as a diamond member, I got an upgrade to a premium room which is about 32 sq.m.

Elevators & Hallway

The highest floor is 3rd floor although there is the ground floor, R level where the breakfast restaurant is and the Mezzanine level before reaching the first floor so in reality, we were on the 6th floor. There is also a 4th floor but I am not sure if there are rooms there.

Premium Room 309

The bed was comfortable as expected but it slides because of the wheels.

Suite pad (which has all the hotel informations).

There is a seating area opposite the bed. There is a sofa bed and 2 arm chairs and a table.

Thank you guys for the welcome amenity 🙏

CONCLUSION

You can never have a more central hotel than the Hotel Astoria Vienna: it is located on Kärntner Strasse which is the most popular shopping street in Vienna. Both the St. Stephen´s Cathedral and the Vienna State Opera are a short walk from the hotel. As expected, the rooms are modern and well-appointed. The breakfast buffet offering was very good too. Overall, a very lovely stay!
